We have a user database lookup capacity issue that is most acute on Site
Streams. This is compounded by a bug that causes Hosebird to cache a
timed-out database lookup as a negative authentication entry, and then your
account can't log in on that one server for the cache duration. Generally if
you try again, you'll hit another server and everything will be fine. This
strikes randomly, but, very rarely.
Earlier this week we spent a lot of time adding about ten times the database
capacity and also fixing this awful bug, but there were a few minor problems
along the way, leading to several redeploys and restarts that you may have
experienced. Eventually, we ran out of time for the deploy. We'll just
mumble through the next week as things are and avoid restarts on our end. If
we don't restart, and your client doesn't do a full restart, you should have
good Site Streams connectivity through the holidays, and we'll get this out
in the New Year.
There are a number of minor goodies queued behind this deploy. We'll get
there.
