Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Scott Koranda <>]

Hello,

I am using Grouper 2.1.5.

When groups are created using an SQL loader job that has a
grouperLoaderGroupQuery defined that includes a column for the
GROUP_DESCRIPTION the change log has two distinct entries for each
loaded group:

1) an 'addGroup' event that includes, among other things, the group
name but that does not include the group description

2) an 'updateGroup' event that includes the group description

If a change log consumer were to take the addGroup event and do a
query using the Grouper API to get the group description is it
guaranteed to always find it? Or is it only reliable to obtain the
group description after receiving the updateGroup event? What if the
database/grouper is under heavy load? Is there any scenario where
querying for the group description after receiving the addGroup event
can fail under heavy load?

Thanks,

Scott K
