Alberto Gomez reassigned GEODE-10371: ------------------------------------- Assignee: Alberto Gomez > C++ Native client: Improve dispersion on connections expiration > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GEODE-10371 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-10371 > Project: Geode > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: native client > Reporter: Alberto Gomez > Assignee: Alberto Gomez > Priority: Major > > The dispersion on connections expirations in the C++ native client works in > such a way that it adds a dispersion (variance) between -9% and 9% over the > time for a connection to expire due to load-conditioning so that, in the > event of having many connections being created at the same, they do not > expire at the right exact time. > Nevertheless, the current implementation has two problems: > - The randomness of the variance depends on the current time in seconds. As a > result, for connections created in the same second, the variance will be the > same and, therefore, the expiration time too. > - The randomness is created using the C standard's library "rand()" function > which is considered not secure. > It is recommended to change the library used to generate the random variance > to a secure one and also to make sure that for the time in seconds it does > not return the same variance. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.7#820007)
