Hi developpers, in some performance tests in the past we've seen, that there are the following issues with Cloudant/CouchDB: - not all activations can be stored (there are error logs in the invoker, that storing was not possible) - during bursts, CouchDB needs to process each document to update all views in the activations-DB. If CouchDB is not able to process them immediately, because of a queue, calling these views returns an error or the result will be outdated (on calling them with stale). This has the impact, that there is a delay for all users of the system until their activation appear after calling `activation list`.
To not have negative impact of some high-load users on the system the proposal is, to not store activations in activations-store for some specified namespaces. My proposal of an implementation is to put this flag into the limits-document in subjects database. This means, it can only be set by the administrator with wskadmin. I already opened a PR with this proposal: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/4078 Do you agree on going forward with this proposal and implementation? Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback. Greetings Christian
