Description

Summary

Currently, if the out of proc server shutdowns/crashes while the client is still running, the projection has the activation factory cached and will stop working. It currently requires the client to restart as well as creating a new instance of the activatable class will not work currently.

Rationale
  • Our current scenario requires that we have a resilient multi-process architecture. Part of that requirement is that processes are recoverable.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing how the projection caches its activation factory and how it handles an out-of-process server shutdown or crash. Done means a still-running client can create a new instance after the server restarts without requiring the client to restart.
