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? Chris > authentication cache (user docs cache) > -------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-807 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-807 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Improvement > Environment: trunk > Reporter: Filipe Manana > Assignee: Filipe Manana > Fix For: 1.0 > > Attachments: auth_cache.patch, auth_cache_2.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
