mod_cluster scales poorly as JBoss node and context counts increase

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • As we increase the number of JBoss nodes connected to our httpd/mod_cluster balancer and/or the number contexts on those JBoss nodes, CPU load on httpd increases and response times increase as well.

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 5.x
    • 6.x
  • mod_cluster
