Problem statement: Currently,
unicorn:restart
always kills the old master in a definite( but configurable) time interval, vizunicorn_restart_sleep_time
. But If the new master has not booted up and ready to accept requests before this time, it can lead to service downtime.Exposing the
unicorn:duplicate
allows clients to only duplicate the unicorn, creating a new master with updated code. The onus to make sure old master is killed later, falls on the client with this. A cool client level solution for the same is found here - https://yhbt.net/unicorn/examples/unicorn.conf.rb
