 === determining read-only status ===
 
-The read-only status of GeoNetwork is determined by a periodic 'DB heartbeat' that attempts to write (and delete) a value in the database. If the situation changes (i.e. GN is not read-only but fails to write, or GN is read-only but succeeds writing) the read-only status of GN is dynamically adapted. The heartbeat's initial and fixed delay in seconds can be set in config.xml and have default values 5 and 60.

The heartbeat is disabled by default and can be enabled in config.xml by setting parameter DBHeartBeatEnabled to true.
 
 === other changes ===
 
 There are cases where the DB-writing part of a service is that small that it is better to restrict these writes at a level below the service, to still allow the service to run also in read-only mode. An example is metadata view: this service write to the DB updating the metadata's popularity. Even so it is not made a !NotInReadOnlyModeService, so also in read-only mode you can still use this service; instead the db-writing part is made conditional on readonly state at a level below the service. (of course this may be seen as a design flaw in the service behaviour and you could argue that there should exist a separate service to update the popularity -- but refactoring is outside the scope of this proposal).
