That's really odd... I had been testing and reloading and it wasn't doing that for me at all.

I see I did confuse the way of_dmid works when I placed the singleton cache clear... Thought the name2id check was above the singleton check (which calls reload_domains if the name map fails). The issue also wasn't happening again with my patch :\

It's entirely possible I goofed my test setup, so I'll fix this later today. Would be nice to figure out what I did wrong with the testing.

The changes to Class's caching issue should be good though. You test those?

Emm...I'm afraid making modifications only in
MogileFS::Domain::reload_domains() won't be enough...

The MogileFS::Domain::delete() method called
MogileFS::Domain::invalidate_cache() instead of reload_domains(), so if
you deleted a domain, then try to retrieve domain instance through
MogileFS::Domain::of_dmid() with the deleted domain's ID, the issue will
come up again.

I have no idea about the reason of having cache invalidation code both
in reload_domains() and invalidate_cache(), but it seems to be a better
solution to keep that code only in invalidate_cache() and have
reload_domains() calling it at first.

This issue don't need parallel environment to be revealed, here is the
corresponding testing snippet I appended in
mogilefs/server/t/domains-classes.t :

MogileFS::Domain->create("bar");
my $tmp_dom=MogileFS::Domain->of_namespace("bar");
my $tmp_dmid=$tmp_dom->{dmid};
$tmp_dom->delete;
ok(!defined(MogileFS::Domain->of_dmid($tmp_dmid)), "no domain info
remained in cache after deletion");

Fixed both instances in trunk...

They were trivial changes (although I put the cache clear in a different
place), but I might not have totally understood the original goals of
the singleton caches. Feel free to berate my fail :)

Also haven't figured a decent test, since the issue tends to happen in
parallel processes. Any ideas?

    Hi,

    I use the MogileFS code from official svn trunk to do some test. But
    when I do some domain addition/deletion operations, the output of
    'mogadm domain list' becomes inconsistent between different calls.
    This phenomenon can be repeated by following steps:

       1. mogadm domain add xxx
       2. mogadm domain delete xxx
       3. mogadm domain add yyy
       4. mogadm domain list (several times)

    I thinks the problem is in the invalidate_cache() method in
    MogileFS::Domain module, because it forget to clean up the hash map
    %singleton (of_dmid(), which is called in domains(), used this hash
    map before trying %id2name map). After made the following changes in
    MogileFS::Domain::invalidate_cache(), the phenomenon doesn't show up
    again:

    --code begin--
    sub invalidate_cache {
    ...
    %id2name=();
    %name2id=();
    %singleton=(); # XXX: this is newly added
    ...
    --code end--

    And I have another question: does classes belong to certain domain?
    If so, why delete a domain does not clean up the classes under it?
