If you have failFast enabled at the individual resolver level (as well as the service as a whole), every individual problem at the resolver level takes the whole thing down. If you disable failFast for the resolver itself (or any of the remote HTTP ones), then you won't get that error. It will log the parsing problem, and then recover immediately afterwards when it just downloads the original file again.</p> <p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">Any time the backup is invalid, empty or not, using a non-failfast resolver is going to do this. Whether we like it or not, until/unless this is changed, that's how it will behave. You wouldn't even have noticed the issue at all except some noise in the log if you had failFast off for that resolver.</p> <p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">Since the code already self-corrects (again, <b>if</b> you don't set failFast), I think it's relatively low priority to try and prevent the bad backups, but it's noted.</p> <p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">I'm much more concerned with how it behaves when the backup is bad then trying to prevent it from ever being bad. I'd rather it didn't fail even if failFast is set, but I suspect that's going to be difficult to fix.</p> </td>
