One such use case is for pre-forking servers running multiple worker processes. Many Python and Ruby webservers are pre-fork servers, e.g., Gunicorn, Puma for saving memory. A typical timeline for such servers: 1. A web server runs as a master process, loading web application into memory. 2. The master process forks itself, utilizing Copy-on-Write to save memory for child worker processes. There is also a "refork" server which reaps worker processes and forks a warm worker process. When working with third-party libraries, web application developers have to releases resources during fork, e.g., - tokio resources - locks and mutex - file descriptors Another question is if it's wrong to open an `Operator` while forking. A service's existing caches, listers and async tasks are useless to another process. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
