[Sugar-devel] Sugarizer School Box - Google Docs Link for GSoC Proposal - Rishabh Nambiar

[Rishabh Nambiar]

Hi Shivang,
Thanks a lot for going through the proposal.

You're right, I haven't explained how I'm going to resolve the MongoDB issues.
I tried to adhere to the 10-20 sentence limit given for the project description in the Template so I couldn't fit everything in the proposal.

I don't have a solution for it already but I'll tell you whatever ideas I've had in my mind.
The first idea is crude but it can potentially be effective. I could create an initialization/shutdown sequence where mongodb --repair is used routinely.  (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod/#cmdoption-mongod-repair)
The mongodb --repair command fixes many common issues relating to incorrect shutdown methods resulting in corruption and it would at least solve the more commonly occurring trivial issues.

The second course of action is investigating occurrences of this issue at existing deployments and trying to find the cause of that. I will need to communicate with the deployment admins and the IIAB community members who have faced these issues for the exact errors and the sequence of actions that led to these errors.
The third thing is that I've deployed Sugarizer on two Raspberry Pi's that are always running and a VPS. Maybe with some load testing and some automation testing (login, user creation and other tasks that have db writes), I will be able to find more such mongoDB issues.

So with a combination of these three methods, I should be able to solve numerous mongoDB stability issues. I had planned to utilize the Community Bonding period for more detailed discussion and guidance from the community and my potential mentors. I will start thinking about a more specific solution for this problem.

Thanks,
Rishabh Nambiar.
