[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-807) authentication cache (user docs cache)

["Chris Anderson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-807?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12882237#action_12882237 ] 

Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-807:
----------------------------------------

the users_db test is still failing for me:

# Assertion failed: e.error == "unauthorized"
# Assertion failed: /conflict/.test(e.reason)

Is this related to this patch? Do we need to finish applying it?

> Currently, in order to authenticate an incoming request, each authentication handler will read a user doc from the _users DB.
> By default, 3 authentication handlers are defined (default.ini), which means we can have 3 _users DB lookups (besides 3 DB open and close operations).
> Taking into account that this is done for each incoming HTTP request, for very busy servers this current behaviour might be overkill.
> The following patch adds a new gen_server which implements an authentication cache and keeps the _users DB open all the time, so that cache misses and refreshes are as quick as possible.
