-------------------------------------
Summary: A connection timeout to the configured mail server causes
POST requests to /management/organizations to block
Key: USERGRID-368
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/USERGRID-368
Project: Usergrid
Issue Type: Story
Reporter: ryan bridges
A connection timeout to the configured mail server causes POST requests to
/management/organizations to block. This can cause downstream load-balancers,
proxies, and clients to also timeout even though the call eventually completes
successfully.
In the case of a load-balancer, this causes even more confusion. Consider the
following scenario:
- client makes a post request to the /management/organizations endpoint on the
load-balancer
- the load-balancer makes the request to Usergrid instance #1
- Usergrid #1 successfully creates the org, app, and admin user, then attempts
to contact the unavailable SMTP server
- After 15s, the load-balancer cancels the initial request and makes and
identical request to Usergrid #2
- Usergrid #2 sees that the requested organization already exists and returns a
400 duplicate indexed property error to the load-balancer
- the load-balancer returns the 400 error to the client
The originating client application would only see the 400 error, even though
the request completed successfully.
