Re: [Pbwebgui-development] quick temperature check

[David S. <dp...@di...>]

The discussion thus far has reached the point where y'all have figured out a way to divert
requests for multiple databases to just the master, but on a session-based granularity.
I've brought up a legitimate scenario when someone would be working in such an environment
and make some changes, then close the session and want to view their changes "live" before
proceeding with more changes.  I don't think this scenario is unreasonable or even very
rare.

The implication in your reply is that the WG content admin would have some idea of how long
it would take to propagate the changes based on the internal server architecture.  I think
you are making an assumption here where the guy who's the "Admin" of the WG content is also
the "admin" of the servers.  For a single-server scenario, that's probably valid.  But when
you start to venture off into sites that are sophisticated enough to require replicated
databases, it's increasingly likely that the site content admin is not the same person who
maintains the operation of the servers themselves.

It's probably no skin off my back because I can't image running replicated databases, not
for a while at least.  But, in the spirit of contributing to the discussion, I'm just
suggesting a reasonable usage scenario that you might want to take into consideration in
your present design.
