Berkeley DB Java Edition 3.3.74 is a patch release consisting of fixes for a number of significant issues. We strongly recommend that users of Berkeley DB Java Edition upgrade to this release.

In particular we've fixed a potential data loss bug [#16523] that could cause LogFileNotFoundException in large databases where data is permanently lost. This bug can only occur in databases where a Btree's depth is > 3.  The database must be at least 10 million records to be a candidate for this problem when using the default maximum entries per Btree node (128). This is only an approximation and the issue may occur under different circumstances when not using the default value of 128 (by calling DatabaseConfig.setNodeMaxEntries() to change that value).  Contact us on our OTN Forum to inquire further about this issue, please reference [#16523] in your post's subject line.  NOTE: This problem is found in all prior releases of JE.

The complete list of changes in 3.3.74 is listed in the change log.
