#3309: SIGNAL NEWNYM should clear the last_hid_serv_requests table
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: rransom | Owner: rransom
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.2.x-final
Component: Tor Hidden Services | Version:
Keywords: | Parent:
Points: | Actualpoints:
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Tor clients record (HS descriptor ID, HSDir relay, time) tuples in a table
(`last_hid_serv_requests`), and refuse to query an HSDir relay for an HS
descriptor ID if it has already done so within the last 15 minutes. I
thought clearing this table on SIGNAL NEWNYM would be unnecessary in most
cases, and would put more load than appropriate in HSDir relays. I was
wrong about it being unnecessary -- I've run out of HSDirs to query at
least three times while testing whether one of my hidden services was
running.
