03/21/2017, 5:20 PMsimplistically, (and i could be wrong): if you have a cache set up, and then set
tocompile.zinc.size_estimator
and runrandom
across multiple machines, they’ll do different pieces of the work concurrently./pants compile - c

03/21/2017, 5:52 PMI swear I've seen intermittent issues with bundle not using the cache that got populated by first doing compile - is this well tested? It's been hard to reproduce and disprove - w

03/21/2017, 7:17 PM@witty-crayon-22786 does pants now support remote cache ? and is there a doc for that ? - w

03/21/2017, 7:24 PMPants has supported remote cache for ~4 years =/👍 1 - w

03/21/2017, 8:19 PMoh - what evicts things from the cache? - c

03/21/2017, 8:20 PMI believe we're using nginx, no varnish* - c

03/21/2017, 8:21 PM^ corrected - w
witty-crayon-22786
03/21/2017, 8:23 PMyea. it's just about how the cache itself is configured then. pants doesn't implement remote expiration. - c
clean-fish-15260
03/21/2017, 8:24 PMcan I configure the filesystem part in my pants.ini? that N entries - w

03/21/2017, 9:03 PMjust did some debugging and found a much more logical problem with the cache related to our config files - but now I'm not sure where I've gone wrong following the docs about config file overlaying - c
clean-fish-15260
03/21/2017, 9:03 PMwe have
in jenkins, but the cache settings in that file are not taking effect./pants --pants-config-files=pants-jenkins.ini ... - c
clean-fish-15260
03/21/2017, 9:04 PMis there something special about the overlaying here because lists are involved? - w

is not an overlay--pants-config-files - w

03/21/2017, 9:05 PMUse the --pants-config-files command-line option to specify a second .ini file. Each of this .ini file's values override the corresponding value in pants.ini, if any. For example, if your pants.ini contains the section
