Releasing JK 1.2.15

Hi,

There has been couple of major bug fixes
against 1.2.14, see:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/changelog.html

They have been fixed in the CVS, and since
couple of them actually makes 1.2.14 unusable on
some platforms like Solaris 2.8 and Irix we need a release.

I plan to tag the 1.2.15 by the end of this week, and pursue
for a vote next week for this bug-fixing release.

Any objections?

Regards,
Mladen.

Hi,

I think the changes are important enough for a release.

I explicitely CC the two users who experienced the core dump (bugzilla 
36525) and I hope they can also check validity of the fix. We have built 
CVS HEAD without problems, but since we usually don't built with 
optimization turned on I would very much like some feedback from at 
least one of the two users.

1.2.15 might be the first stable release after all the big changes in 
lb, status worker, shared memory etc.

Regards,

Rainer

Both users tried with CVS head and the patch works for IRIX and Solaris.
No objections to releasing.

Right.
The SVN transition is in progress, so it might be as well a good chance
to create a 1.3 branch we are talking about for more then a year.

Cleaning unused and dead code is one thing, and the other is making
those use-cases for load balancer.

I've tagged the 1.2.15 as the last one from the CVS, so if it will
be voted as stable, fine, if not, we'll pursue for 1.2.16 from 1.2
branch. All new stuff and eventual config changes should go to the
1.3. branch.

Regards,
Mladen.

Hi Peter, Mladen and all others,

I would like to follow Mladens suggestion from earlier this month to
create a list of precise use cases for the load balancing, failover and
administrative downtime scenarios. I think from that we might end up by a
better understandable overal lb design. I expect, that we will find the
need for bigger changes to lb. Maybe after we know what we need to do, we
can decide if we start 1.3, or if the changes with respect to
functionality are still small enough to call them 1.2.16.

I unfortunately didn't go deeply into Peter's bug report, because I wanted
to go into it when writing up use cases. So I'm not sure, if the proposed
changes are a "bug fix" (then it's OK for last minute 1.2.15) or maybe
should better be decided together with a complete view of lb use cases
(then 1.3 or 1.2.16).

Yes,

is is only a real problem when workers are grouped inside an domain. I have
check this many times and without the lb_value change loadbalancing works as
I aspected, and with it not.
I also think that we need a real lb concept check. Greater changes can 
we better realize after jk 2.1.15.
But this little change was very helpful at some of my production 
customers sites :-)

Yes we do. They will be updated only for domain workers.
This is needed to load balance between the workers that are
members of the same domain. In other case the total_factor will
be zero and lb_value will not be changed.

Hey Mladen,

can we also integrate the better domain loadbalancer support at 
jk_lb_worker.c?
I think that we don't change the lb_value inside sticky mode at every 
request.
Can we comment out or remove lines L413-431?

Thanks,
Peter

Since there were no objections I plan to tag the 1.2.15 later this
evening at 19:00 GMT.

This will eventually be the last release from CVS, cause IIUC the
transition will be made this weekend.
