--------------------------------
Summary: Improve Hierarchical Caching documentation
Key: TS-2587
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2587
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Miles Libbey
While investigating hierarchical caching, several questions arose that were not
addressed by docs:
- what happens when all parent caches go down? Will the children start going
to origin themselves? [hmm, in parent.config doc, says for parent, "An ordered
list of parent servers. If the request cannot be handled by the last parent
server in the list, then it will be routed to the origin server"]
- Can a parent cache accept 'normal' traffic?
- The doc indicates that only the parent need configuration. However, that
seems to be backwards. Seems like the child needs to know
a) it has parents (proxy.config.http.parent_proxy_routing_enable)
b) its parents (in parents.config) and
c) which requests to go to parents.
