Why it was recalled

There is a potential for data loss associated with empty path names resulting from HL-7 updates when the cache disk is almost full. In an unlikely event that the cache disk is almost full (<100MB) and HL-7 update events are received, the update action fails and an empty path name is written to the EA database. As a result the instance is not deleted from the storage device but no longer referenced. When trying to retrieve the instance an error is returned.
