> Project: UIMA

>
> Its been observed that an Agent killed a JD immediately after starting it.
> This happens rarely but does occur.Looking through the Agent log I see that
> multiple OR state updates arrive almost instantly. In one of the states the
> OR requests a new process to be started while in the second state the process
> doesnt even exist. So the agent first launches the process and then
> subsequently kills it as this indicates a ghost process. A ghost process is
> one that exists in the agent's inventory but is not present in the OR state
> update.
> This is happening due to out of order messages. The OR generates its state
> updates at regular intervals (every 20 secs) and sends them to a jms topic.
> In this case, the PM fetches the update, trims it and sends it to agents. Not
> 100% sure, but it looks like there is some kind of a delay in a broker which
> causes messages to be held and than subsequently delivered in rapid
> succession.
> The agent should be able to cope with this. The OR should add a sequence
> number to each state it publishes. The PM should forward this sequence when
> it sends a trimmed state to the agents. The agent should compare received
> sequence against what it received on the previous update.If the new sequence
> is larger than the previous one, processing should be allowed. If the new
> sequence is smaller then previous, the message should be discarded.
