Description



glite-LB

Introducing glite-LB in 3.2

This is the first version of glite-LB introduced in glite 3.2, it corresponds to the next major release of the L&B server.

It's the final outcome of gLite restructuring activity; internal dependencies were cleaned up, and significant portion of the code streamlined and rewritten (in particular full use of transactional database backend) in order to improve performance and stability.

At the protocol level L&B server 2.0 is fully compatible with 1.9 clients, it works (and has been thoroughly tested) with gLite 3.1 services and UI.

User-visible added features are:

  • Extended L&B notifications: elementary notifications support (subscription for specific jobids only) was extended with "all user's jobs", "all VO jobs", and "all WMS jobs" options. Filters for optional decreasing the number of notification messages per-job were added, as well as the mechanism tuned to sustain persistent load imposed by high-level monitoring tools.
  • Simple interfaces: besides using L&B client library, users can get information on their jobs via web-browser, text ssl clients (curl etc.), and RSS readers.
  • Extended authorization: trusted components to log critical events to L&B can be specified, FQANs can be used to define LB superusers.
  • Non-intrusive purger: background purge of old jobs is throttled in order not to interfere with normal L&B operation.

L&B 2.0 removes standalone L&B proxy component, it allows running the server in proxy-only or hybrid mode. However, this feature is not applicable for LB-only node, targeted by this patch.

This update fixes various bugs. For the full list of bugs, please see list below.
