We have hit this issue several times recently, and we'd really like to get something in place to mitigate it ASAP, even if it's a temporary measure. I would appreciate it very much if anyone here could clarify any of the following points:
- When will rsandell's fix be available? (It looks like the newest currently-available version of the branch source plugin, 2.4.3-beta-1, was built on January 28th, while that PR was merged in late February)
- Aleksey Smyrnov seems happy with a cron job that blows away the cache every minute, while Vivek Pandey suggests that nuking the cache while Jenkins is running could cause issues. What kinds of issues might be caused by disabling the cache in a running system?
- Several people seem to have concluded that setting the cacheSize=0 JVM property does not help, but in the most recent comment in this thread, Vivek says that, "you have to disable the cache anyways, that needs setting this jvm property". Has anyone actually been able to mitigate this issue by setting that property?
Thanks! |
