From 43f2b67e4d2ce95b3b13d88e755afc7e3907e82b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Johnston Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2020 14:25:52 +0100 Subject: Intelligently select extremities used in backfill. (#8349) Instead of just using the most recent extremities let's pick the ones that will give us results that the pagination request cares about, i.e. pick extremities only if they have a smaller depth than the pagination token. This is useful when we fail to backfill an extremity, as we no longer get stuck requesting that same extremity repeatedly. --- changelog.d/8349.bugfix | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 changelog.d/8349.bugfix (limited to 'changelog.d/8349.bugfix') diff --git a/changelog.d/8349.bugfix b/changelog.d/8349.bugfix new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cf2f531b14 --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/8349.bugfix @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Fix a longstanding bug where back pagination over federation could get stuck if it failed to handle a received event. -- cgit 1.5.1
