0.9.2 - local caching - submitted file is being processing by another transcoding-machine

Post by taner »

Hi Steinar,

It's me again.

All machines in my transcoding-farm are caching locally.
When I submit a file from machine-1 sometimes it is being processing by another one in the farm.
Not always the same machines but randomly.
As far as I understand this should not be happen.
But actually it's great because I have local caching and it is (maybe) working like global caching.
But in case that a file is being picked up by a machine which has no free resources this could lead to a problem.

Hi taner,

This is as expected in a farm setup. It does not matter what cache metod you're using. Also, the way the farming implementation in FFAStrans work, your files might be picked up by a semi busy host, but it's less likely as it will not look for jobs that often. If the job is picked up by a host which resource usage is above the specified CPU roof level, then that's a bug. I should not happen. But I would very much like to know if you experience the opposite.
