Hi Tim, I don't think this is a serious issue because such loading requests in your app are still very rare.
In a very rare case, App Engine sometimes needs to direct a request to another instance(even if there is an idle instance) for some reasons. I think this is a nature of a distributed and shared system like App Engine. -- Takashi On Sat, Oct 13, 2012 at 7:31 PM, timh <[email protected]> wrote: > HI Takashi > > fish-and-lily > > The event occurred at 2012-10-13 07:02:32.339 GMT+8 > > I was inaccurate about the traffic going to the site, but there had not > been a request for at least 1minute before the request, that cause the > new instance. > > Regards > > Tim Hoffman > > On Saturday, October 13, 2012 1:48:57 PM UTC+8, Takashi Matsuo (Google) > wrote: > >> >> Hi Tim, >> >> Can you tell me the details like app-id, the exact time of occurrence, >> etc so I'll take a look? >> >> -- Takashi >> >> On Sat, Oct 13, 2012 at 9:13 AM, timh <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Hi >>> >>> After all this time I still see some really odd behaviour from the >>> frontend scheduler. >>> >>> Case in point. >>> >>> I have a billing enabled HRD instance >>> Python 2.7, threadsafe=true >>> Two resident instances and 3 idle instances. >>> No traffic going to the site for the last 20-30 minutes. >>> >>> Fire up a request, and wait 20 seconds whilst a new instance is started. >>> >>> Based on all my years with appengine (first app in 2008) and all my >>> reading this does not appear to be following the rules. >>> I note that with this new HRD based app that startup times are often a >>> lot worse than the M/S instance that it is replacing. >>> >>> Tim >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >>> Groups "Google App Engine" group. >>> To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/** >>> msg/google-appengine/-/xkXt-**xE6NcAJ<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-appengine/-/xkXt-xE6NcAJ> >>> . >>> To post to this group, send email to google-a...@googlegroups.**com. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to google-appengi...@** >>> googlegroups.com. >>> >>> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/** >>> group/google-appengine?hl=en<http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine?hl=en> >>> . >>> >> >> >> >> -- >> Takashi Matsuo | Developers Advocate | [email protected] >> >> -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google App Engine" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-appengine/-/TqUMq209yM4J. > > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine?hl=en. > -- Takashi Matsuo | Developers Advocate | [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
