[Connotea-code-devel] Delayed results in web api

[Mulvany, I. <i.m...@na...>]

Hi Oliver,

At the moment we are splitting requests coming into Connotea between two
machines to improve response times.

API and RSS traffic goes to one machine and requests directly to the site go
to another machine.

The databaes gets replicated between the two machines with the API RSS
machine being a slave of the main DB.

Sometime last week we ran out of space on one of the partitions on the
second machine, and after sorting out that problem the replication got
turned off, but we didn't notice until Tuesday.

It's been turned on again, and the rss and API requests are back in sync.

Hi all,

it seems to me, that bookmarks I post to Connotea using the Web-API are
appearing in the API-Script http://www.connotea.org/data/user/xyz only
after a delay. Example: I post something to the user tub and look if it
worked in the normal web-interface. There is the new bookmark. But if I
use http://www.connotea.org/data/user/tub, I don't see the new bookmark
in that list. Waiting some time helps and the bookmark appears (how much
time goes by is different). The effect is, that my application doesn't
get the new data after posting and I cannot present the new post to the
user immidiately.

Is that happening with intent? Can I do something against it?

Any feedback is appreciated, kind regards
Oliver
