[jira] Commented: (CONTINUUM-2237) Better error handling and recovery from database outage

["Wendy Smoak (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-2237?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=177207#action_177207 ] 

Wendy Smoak commented on CONTINUUM-2237:
----------------------------------------

While it would be great if Continuum could gracefully recover from a database outage, at a minimum it needs to figure out that the database is gone and put itself into a state where scheduled builds are suspended and users can't keep pressing buttons.

I'd be happy if it simply displayed a page saying "Please contact your system administrator" (while writing something useful in the log file).

> Recently we had to re-start the server where Continuum's external MySQL database resides.
> We observed strange behavior in Continuum afterwards, including
>  - 'invalid group id' when adding a project to an existing group, after it refreshed a few times on the 'in progress' page
>  - "forgetting" that a user is logged in, in the middle of a release
>  - redirecting to 'you are already logged in' when clicking on menu items
>  - 'Error adding projects from modules' when adding a project to a group
> Re-starting Continuum seems to clear up the problems.
> Continuum needs to handle a database outage more gracefully.
