Comment (by gp1308):

 Thanks for the detailed explanation, I got to know many things. I agree
 simulating local db failure case is not interesting. I want to work on the
 remote case. I will update my progress on that ticket.

 Please address question below only when you have time:

 I didn't get the bug.

 DIR is directory handler for `/proc/self/fd`, so fd returned by `dirfd()`
 will be corresponding to the opened directory. How is that useful? Would
 you elaborate a bit?  You may be talking in the context of getting fds to
 close db files? In that case `close(dirfd(DIR)` closes all files right?

 As this is not important scenario, please address only if you have time.
