Hi, We're running haproxy in front of many services that are written in Java. From time to time, the Java applications need to pause for a while and do garbage collection. It would be extremely beneficial if haproxy could be configured to redispatch all requests that are currently in limbo on a GCing server to some other server.
haproxy.cfg typically looks like this: frontend timeout http-request 30s maxconn 100000 ... backend balance roundrobin server s1 ... maxconn 10 server s2 ... maxconn 10 server s3 ... maxconn 10 .. Each request is a reasonably simple GET request that typically takes 10-20ms to process. This works great until a server needs to GC, then the query will hang for a few seconds. Tanks Finn Arne
