Sometimes one cannot wait too long. I have a very significant growth issue that requires scaling up from 4 app servers to 15 within the next 2 months. Under the current limitations of Orion it simply won't work - so far we've cobbled solutions around the unreliable http session clustering and loadbalancing. Unless theres some change soon to deal with a lot of the big issues I can't imagine how I can stay with Orion. Definitely don't misunderstand me thats not intended to sound threatening, I love Orion and want to stay with it. I'm just pointing out that my needs may require me to switch to something where http clustering and loadalancing does work properly under high load.
AJP support would go a long way to help that - because mod_jk seems to do a pretty decent job at handling stick sessions and removing machines from rotation that have died. Any ideas on when the next iteration would be released? Even a half way step or a new experimental release would be a sign that things are evolving. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Ottinger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 1:05 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: is Orion dead? ...except the wait is due to an internal refactoring that should yield significant benefits. Yourconclusion was predicted by the list in general, but I disagree; the team's still working on Orion, and I figure that people will be more happy once the new versions come out. You'd hope it would be incremental changes as it was in the past (anyone remember the three-versions-a-day times?) but that's simply not realistic considering the changes being put into place. Patience. Enjoy. --------------------------------------------------------- Joseph B.
