Bug #11561
Updated by Peter Amstutz almost 6 years ago
Currently, if a container cannot be started due to some infrastructure problem (whether or not it's related to the specific container) it will be retried repeatedly forever. Proposed solution: Add a site config knob (analogous to num_retries) that limits the number of times a container can be unlocked (moved from Locked to Queued state) before being automatically cancelled. Add: * Config key max_container_dispatch_attempts (default 5) * DB column "lock_count" (do not include in * API response) response field "lock_count" * Increment lock_count during lock() * When unlocking a container, if lock_count >= Rails.configuration.max_container_dispatch_attempts, change state to Cancelled instead of Queued (the unlock API should still respond 200 in this case) and update runtime_status[error] with an error message.
