Use case - We’ve some origins behind our proxy that get very low qps. Our server session sharing is set to Host based and have a floor on min keep alive connections as it is not overridable at the moment. Because of the floor the server sessions never drop below that number, even when those individual servers are down or taken out of rotation. When a request finally arrives for these services, because of host based match, we tend to pick up these stale sessions, ignoring the new dns results. This can go on for a while failing the requests. This is actually a bug in that we aren’t purging the stale sessions (bcoz of the floor handling) from the session pools.
So, we’d like to customise the floor min keep alive connections per service. Here’s the PR https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/5830 Any comments/suggestions? Thanks, Sudheer
