Parent selection 2.0 This is a refactor of Parent Selection to add the following features: 1) multi-site origin - using parent selection, origin servers may be selected using round robin or consistent hash algorithms. 2) simple retry - if the parent is an origin server and a 404 response is received when this feature is enabled, the transaction will be retried using another parent. The user may define a list of response codes for simple retry. Both enabling and defining response codes may be done using header_rewrite on a delivery service basis. 3) dead server retry - if the parent is an origin server and a 503 response is received when this feature is enabled, the current parent is marked down for 5 minutes and the transaction will be retried using another parent. The user may define a list of response codes for dead server retry. Both enabling and defining response codes may be done using header_rewrite on a delivery service basis. 4) Added a secondary_parent list to parent.config when round_robin=consistent_hash. The secondary parents are added to a secondary hash ring for parent selection when a primary parent is down. In a cache hierarchy this would allow you to take advantage of another set of mid tier caches content affinity when a primary parent is down, see TS-3418. I refactored Parent Selection using a Strategy design pattern where the Round robin and consistent hash implementations are in there own class. These strategy implementations are created per row in parent.config when the traffic server starts and reads the parent.config file. This refactor made it easier to add the secondary hash feature. I plan on doing a presentation of all this at the ATS summit this month. thanks You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/jrushf1239k/trafficserver parent-selection-2.0 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/321.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #321 ---- commit 451f9176bd83291c37d65a2cef4bf510b1775d9a Author: John J.
