+1 to disallow it as init-parameters are not used at invoke time.
The init function invokes once and only once in users’ mind, they wouldn't aware of reuse of the container. | | Bill Zong | | [email protected] ShenZhen, China | 签名由网易邮箱大师定制 On 12/21/2019 19:40，Rodric Rabbah<[email protected]> wrote： This PR https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/pull/4559 added init-time parameters. It allows those parameters to be specified on action creation/updates as well as at invoke time. This note is to solicit feedback on whether the controller should disallow init-parameters at invoke time. The reason is that unless the activation is a fresh (cold) activation, the init-parameters will not be observable by the action (init-paramters are only sent at /init time and not /run time). So it can be confusing although it is also convenient for rapid iterations in the cloud (update/invoke pattern where the invoke is always cold after an update). Opinions and feedback? -r
