Issue

  • We have a 7.1 cluster in Kubernetes with docker image Liferay nodes. We don't know in advance what IP address would be assigned to Liferay containers.
  • As the pods can get killed and then the cleanup does not happen, the JDBC ping may not be an option.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1 cluster docker images / deployed and managed by Kubernetes

Resolution

  • Set clear_table_on_view_change to true in the JDBC_PING tag of jdbc_ping_config.xml of each cluster node, for the automatic removal of the DB table entries for members which crashed but weren’t removed for some reason.
  • Please find more in the jgroups documentation.
