[11:49:05 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> Eric?
[11:49:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> busy with local issue ... hopefully resovled soon
[11:49:27 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> k
[11:49:51 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> Will throw some info up her for you and whoever else is interested.
[11:51:40 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> Last night Pearson's HE Portal that is running on uPortal 2.6 experienced some issues around logout. These problems eventually became crippling and a restart did not/would not resolve the problem.
[11:51:47 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> The table at the heart of the problem is the table - UP_ENTITY_CACHE_INVALIDATION. At the time of the incident the table had 750K rows.
[11:51:58 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> The problem query was the following: DELETE FROMÂ Â UP_ENTITY_CACHE_INVALIDATIONÂ Â Â Â Â Â WHEREÂ Â INVALIDATION_TIME < :1
[11:52:24 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> So... we truncated the table, and there was much rejoicing
[11:52:47 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> Everything appears to be running fine now. Was just wondering about a few things.
[11:52:56 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> 1) Have you ever heard of this issue before?
[11:53:37 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> 2) Does that table exist in uPortal 3.x, and if so... would this problem and its resolution be worth letting the mailing list know about?
[11:54:06 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> The table field - INVALIDATION_TIME ⓠwas not indexed. Thus the above delete query, which happens for every single logout, likely was going through a full table scan to delete rows.
[11:55:17 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> Honestly though... that table should never have grown so large. I suspect the system which pearson uses for SSO was having issues... and that, that was likely the reason the table grew until the point that it became a problem in and of itself.
[12:30:05 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so, I have never seen that
[12:30:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but we don't run with the portal.properties multi-server flag turned on
[12:30:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> which is the only time that table is used I believe
[12:30:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it is still there in 3.x
[12:30:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> only used by the GAP framework for multi-server consistency
[12:30:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the rest of the portal now relies on ehcache's multi-server support
[12:33:31 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> You run multiple servers though, right?
[12:33:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yes
[12:33:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but we don't make changes to groups or permissions without server restarts
[12:34:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> which is the only thing that table helps with
[12:34:59 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> pretty much same situation for us as well.
[12:35:02 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> honestly in 3.x since GAP is backed by ehcache as well using the distributed invalidation caching options may negate the need for those tables
[12:35:16 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> then you shouldn't need to run with multiserver set to true
[12:36:33 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> org.jasig.portal.concurrency.multiServer=true
[12:36:34 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> org.jasig.portal.concurrency.clockTolerance=5000
[12:36:37 EDT(-0400)] <lennard1> yeah... we have it on
