I'm investigating active/passive HAProxy setups and came across the following from the official HAProxy blog. At http://blog.haproxy .com/2014/01/17/emulating-activepassing-application-clustering-with-haproxy/
backend bk_app stick-table type ip size 1 nopurge peers LB The size of 1 seems odd - given that's saying create a stickiness table with a maximum size of a single entry, according to https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/configuration-1.5.html#stick-table <size> is the maximum number of entries that can fit in the table. This value directly impacts memory usage. Count approximately 50 bytes per entry, plus the size of a string if any. The size supports suffixes "k", "m", "g" for 2^10, 2^20 and 2^30 factors. - Is this a typo, and '1' should be '1k' or '1m' or some other larger number - Is this intentional, and there is a reason to have a table with only one entry? If so could you someone please explain why? Thanks muchly - and thanks for making HAProxy! Mike
