Joke of the day

Report · Mar 16, 2011

Reloading one of the forum pages, I suddenly had the following message on the screen. A moment later I could get to the forum. I like the note.

That's not a Joke!!!

The joke of this day seems to be that posts are hidden for a long time, only to appear out of nowhere when a new post is submitted, as you can see from posts #13 &14 (so far) here:

This is database skew between 1 of the 4 servers.

See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/850374?tstart=0.

Basically you can delete your cookies and reload the page up to ~10 times.

Unfortunately it seems for some threads, you have to not be on the bad server to see the full thread.

For other threads, you must be on the bad server to see the full thread.

I hope there are not threads that have different contents on different servers that are not subsets of each other...

anyhow, it's being worked on by adobe-admin (he has escalated it with Jive).

Cache skew, the database is consistent.

There are if you use the website or reply by email. Outgoing email

notifications are sent after a commit and commits are consistent so they

have no problems. The webservices bypass the cache as well and are

always consistent.

I gather the commit does not invalidate the cache on all nodes? That seems

wrong (though perhaps that is a config error in this case with 42P).

What are the 'webservices' that bypass the cache? Surely not the web site

itself.

webservice is an API for accessing the forum independently from the web interface.

Jochem uses it extensively and built an AIR forum client based on it.

Jochem, any chance of getting that updated?

Last September I had a conf call with Jive about the current state of

the REST APIs and their future plans to fix the bugs and document the

idiosyncrasies of the REST APIs. I am under NDA so I can't tell you what

they told me, but my own conclusion is that an AIR client is just not

going to happen for a long time.

Two things have showed today:

1) It is sometimes impossible to send a PM because the recipient cannot be found. I have tried that a while ago, trying to forward a PM rather than repying to one, and it came up in this thread today, which was certainly no joke:

2) Your stuff (and whoever's stuff) no longer shows the threads you have started, but merely some threads your have posted in; and the options do not include your own threads. This means that you will have to use different means to find threads from long ago; I had to go some pages back to revive this one.
