LTTng has not been designed with those use-cases in mind, so chances are that it will 
not provide the kind of recovery from failures and "don't lose any data" types of 
guarantees you are looking for. 

Buffering tracing data for system monitoring/debugging has a different set of 
requirements compared to your use-case. 

Thanks,
