> Completely agree with you @potiuk here. In fact, I had similar questions about this feature. But then with my experience of working with a couple of companies over the past 5yrs, the webserver is running the same code of what workers are running, so the feature would be useful for such installations. For those, who don't have access from the webserver, it can act as a quick validator :). Yeah, agree it's an edge case. Note that it''s not only the "image" of webserver vs. worker or "packages installed" - but also the "environment" it is running at. For example in our K8S deployment we had a side-car running next to the worker that kept refreshing kerberos tokens and this side-car shared a volume with the worker (and only worker had this enabled). But yeah I think in vast majority of cases it will work. Maybe a good solution to that will be to be very explicit about it - i.e. in a comment/tooltip/API description be very explicit that this is the status of connections from webserver and it might be different if run from the workers? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
