Fixed[edit]

Update MCPClient forking model[edit]

Archivematica 1.16.0 introduces a new prefork execution model in MCPClient based on a process pool. MCPClient workers are automatically restarted to free resources and will reuse database connections when possible.

The following new settings were added to the MCPClient service:

  • ARCHIVEMATICA_MCPCLIENT_WORKERS defines the number of MCPClient workers. If undefined, it defaults to the number of CPUs available on the machine. Only client modules that define concurrent_instances will perform concurrent execution of tasks (e.g. identify_file_format).
  • ARCHIVEMATICA_MCPCLIENT_MAX_TASKS_PER_CHILD defines the maximum number of tasks a worker can execute before it's replaced by a new process in order to free resources.
  • ARCHIVEMATICA_MCPCLIENT_MCPCLIENT_PROMETHEUS_DETAILED_METRICS indicates that detailed metrics should be sent to Prometheus. With large transfers this might affect performance of the local storage in Prometheus and slow down its threads in Archivematica.

See the MCPClient Configuration page.

DIPs are cleaned from watched directories[edit]

Duracloud spaces retry chunk downloads[edit]
