[jira] [Updated] (CONNECTORS-1143) Problem with cached versions of e.g. a repository connection

["Karl Wright (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Karl Wright updated CONNECTORS-1143:
------------------------------------
          Component/s: Framework core
    Affects Version/s: ManifoldCF 1.5.1
                       ManifoldCF 1.6.1
                       ManifoldCF 1.7.2
                       ManifoldCF 1.8
                       ManifoldCF 2.0
        Fix Version/s: ManifoldCF 2.1
                       ManifoldCF 1.9

Inspecting the code, I think I may understand the issue.  Basically, the connector instances are pooled.  New connector instances are created in a ManifoldCF process only when an instance can't be found to use in the pool.  Each local pool is periodically apportioned among all MCF processes, based on usage patterns over the previous five seconds.

So, what I'm saying is this: unless your agents process(es) STOP using connector instances for a given connection name for a while (in which case the pool is definitely flushed), the old connector instances based on the previous version of the connection configuration will stick around and be reused.  This has been the case since MCF 1.5.

I can envision making this more robust, by keeping the configuration along with the connection name for each pooled connector instance.  Then, it should be possible to recognize when a connection pulled from the pool is not one that can be used, and create a new one instead.

However, please continue to confirm that caching is really the culprit in your case.

> I have some issues when i change settings in repository connection:
> I had to change the password for my connection (JIRA), i review the connection and it works.
> However the related job(s) keep failing because of an unautorized error. What is more i created a new job with the repository connection and it failed too.
> I don't know how these things are kept cached in Manifold. Is this a bug or do I have to do some regular cleanup??
