This is the state of a redo log that was just added, or just after a `RESETLOGS`, when it is not the current redo log. `CURRENT` - Current redo log. This implies that the redo log is active. The redo log could be open or closed. `ACTIVE` - Log is active but is not the current log. It is needed for crash recovery. It may be in use for block recovery.

After the log is cleared, the status changes to `UNUSED`. `CLEARING_CURRENT` - Current log is being cleared of a closed thread. The log can stay in this status if there is some failure in the switch such as an I/O error writing the new log header. `INACTIVE` - Log is no longer needed for instance recovery. It may be in use for media recovery. It may or may not be archived.
