Slow Replication

[José Manuel Molina Pascual <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hello.

We use tomcat 5.5.23.

We have had some problems when replicating what we have called
"sleeping session", that is: sessions different from the one that you
get if you ask the container for a session (by using
httpRequest.getSession()). What we did is to use the session we get
(we call it carrier session) to replicate the changes to the other
instances using an attribute consisting on two hashmaps (changed/added
attributes and removed attributes) and a String (sleeping seesion Id).

I sent a mail with an strange problem (the instances that received the
replication received the past attributes, not the values of the latest
request served), I managed to solve it by killing the session each
time the node has to deal with a sleeping session.

Now, we have a less important problem, when we stress the cluster
about 10% of the requests seem to fail due to previous state not
having reached the other boards.

The question is: how can we improve the cluster performance when
replicating state?

Thanks in advance.

We have solved the problem, in fact it seems that is not exactly slow
replication but slow deserialization of the sessiond data.

The way we solved this is not too good but deadlines..... you know, if
at the first try we don get the session data we try again up to three
times spaced by 100ms.
