Add support to store serialized data as a string to work around loss of type information after Couchbase failover #216

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
After a couchbase node failover, sessions that are pulled from a replica lose 
their type information.  Instead of returning a byte array, the CouchBase 
client returns a String, resulting in a ClassCastException:

Reproduction Steps
1.  On a Couchbase cluster, configure a bucket for Tomcat sessions with 
replication enabled.
2.  Populate the bucket with some sessions.
3.  Bring down the node containing your target session.
4.  Make a request to the Tomcat server with your session.

Either use a single session, and a new / empty bucket so you can tell which 
server is the primary for your session, or a load test with several session.

Expected output:
The Tomcat server restores the last known state of the session

What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Amazon Linux 2014.09
Tomcat 7.0.55
memcached-session-manager-1.8.1.
Couchbase Servers Version: 3.0.0 Community Edition (build-1209)
Couchbase Client: 1.4.5

Please provide any additional information below:

On testing with a standalone Java program, it looks like values that are stored 
as Strings do read back correctly after a failover.  If it was possible for the 
transcoder to use a base64 encoded string instead of a byte array, it should 
work around the problem.

This was caused by Couchbase bug MB-12328 
(http://www.couchbase.com/issues/browse/MB-12328)

As that issue has been fixed in version 3.0.1, working around the problem with 
a String is no longer necessary.  I think this issue can be closed.
