This is a supervisor-only patch release of 6.9-2 and 6.10-0 that includes the following key fixes.
- Supervisor patches to help cut down on the number of threads, and reduce chances of repeated worker rejections on some farms due to race-conditions/timing issues.
- A bug in the startHost() dispatch routine causing the supervisor NOT to always dispatch jobs to workers when they became available.
And this fix which applies to 6.10-0 only:
- Job instances can become unkill-able with QB_PREEMPT_MODE_FAIL internal status
The releases are labeled as 6.9-2b and 6.10-0a.
NOTE regarding dependencies on Linux: Installation of this updated supervisor package on a linux system requires the use of
rpm with the
--nodeps argument; the
yum utility does not support disabling the dependency checks during installation, only removal.
