StoRM Backend v. 1.11.11
Description
This release fixes a StoRM backend issue that prevented correct startup on Java 6 and 7 and introduces:
- a mechanism to gather metrics about synchronous operations load and performance (see sys-admin guide logging section);
- changes to the Request Garbage Collector’s default configuration, which now implements an adaptive mechanism to keep the request database dimension under control in high-load scenarios (see sys-admin guide requests-garbage-collector section).
Bug fixes
- STOR-867 - Backend initialization fails when storage area has a default acl list
Improvements - STOR-695 - Improve performance of StoRM BE Garbage Collector
-STOR-890 - Finer grained metrics for the storm-backend
