Nginx cleans up cache bugs

Thank you very much.

Change History (7)

comment:1 by yunoasgit@…, 4 years ago

After many attempts, the temporary solution to the bug is,

  1. Request no "accept encoding: gzip" again to hit it to generate the cache file
  2. Then clean up 'accept encoding: deflate' and 5 hit files first
  3. Last clean up "no gzip"

In this way, all 6 cache files can be cleaned up

comment:2 by Maxim Dounin, 4 years ago

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

As long as upstream responses use Vary response header, multiple cache files can be created. Quoting docs:

If the header includes the “Vary” field with another value, such a response will be cached taking into account the corresponding request header fields (1.7.7).

Manually removing all relevant files from the filesystem might be tricky if there are multiple variants. This is not something you are expected to do though. Instead, consider using existing cache validity and cleanup mechanisms, such as Cache-Control, proxy_cache_valid, and proxy_cache_path parameters inactive and max_size.

If you want to disable Vary support, you can do so using the proxy_ignore_headers directive. Alternatively, you can change your backend to avoid generating Vary.

Nginx / 1.16.0 does not have this bug,

Do you want to fix the bug in the later version?

comment:4 by Maxim Dounin, 4 years ago

Nginx / 1.16.0 does not have this bug

Caching behaviour in 1.16.0 is the same as in nginx 1.17.x. Either way, the bug is in your cleaning code, not in nginx, see comment:2 for details.

Replying to Maxim Dounin:

Nginx / 1.16.0 does not have this bug

Caching behaviour in 1.16.0 is the same as in nginx 1.17.x. Either way, the bug is in your cleaning code, not in nginx, see comment:2 for details.

comment:6 by Maxim Dounin, 4 years ago

The observed behaviour is expected.

As long as there is no main cache file (the one generated based on the proxy_cache_key), nginx will use it to store the response. Secondary keys are used for additional variants as long as the main cache file already exists. Further, the main cache file is used to store Vary information, so it is not possible to calculate secondary keys without the main cache file in place.

Removing the main cache file as in your tests will result in the main cache file being recreated. The new main cache file will contain the variant requested, regardless of whether this variant was previously cached under a secondary key. If the variant requested was previously cached under a secondary key, the now unused secondary cache file will be eventually removed based on inactive= and/or max_size= parameters of the proxy_cache_path directive.

comment:7 by yunoasgit@…, 4 years ago

It is hoped that the cache file can be deleted through del, and key will not change and will not confuse key and cache.

Thank you very much for your support.
