Hi, Currently(3.0.1), traffic_server will exit if exists bad rules in remap.config, whenever startup or reload ( traffic_line -x ).
Bad rules I found: 1. duplicate map rule ( ATS 2.x will use first one and ignore the left ). 2. add a remap plugin which is not exist. 3. return TS_ERROR in TSRemapNewInstance ( eg. check pparam's format. Now I always return TS_SUCCESS to prevent the "crash" ) Especially in a "cluster" setup (reverse proxy), remap.config may change frequently. If remap.config is not edited correctly, whole cluster will crash when reloading ( not cool ). I think it's better to pre-check the remap table and not switch to the new table if remap.config is not enough correct.
