We are all on 1.108 now. In our nodes we have a really important improvement disabled by default and ready to launch… badger cache! Can we talk about it? Are you testing it? Is it safe to enable to all nodes? Is it better to wait?

I activated badger cache on all nodes and I will stay away from hashstore untill it matures a little bit more. I estimate 6 months would be enough to make it optimal. Untill than, piecestore it’s reliable and with the help of badger cache, it’s fast enough.

I tested on storj-up, it’s working. Could you please check, that the dashboard port is not occupied?

Where can i find information on / when / why / how should I enable this ? Is there paritcular cirucmstance it should be enabled vs not enabled?

If you have low RAM and the file walkers struggle aka they take to much time to finish, like hours… It also helps to win more races… in theory. https://forum.storj.io/t/badger-cache-filewalker-test-results/27334?u=snorkel There is also the official post, but I can’t find it. To enable it: --pi…

do you happen to know if hashtables are anything to do with badger?

they are different things. The hashtable is mandatory, the badger is optional. The hashtable, which I don’t fully understand, isn’t fully implemented yet. Eventually the badger cache might be made obsolete though?

Hashtables are not mandatory. It is still opt-in.

Badger cache: are we ready?
