There was a race condition in the manipulation of the write fence by the drop collection code. Specifically, when seeing a "drop collection" oplog entry, OplogObserveDriver took no immediate action and instead deferred some "should I re-poll now or later?" logic. This allowed the write fence's oplogHandle.waitUntilCaughtUp code to think that everything was "caught up" even though the effects of the "drop collection" entry had not yet affected the cursor's state (by transitioning it away from the STEADY state). The fix is to ensure that the state-change aspects of processing the entry occur immediately; the actual re-query is still deferred in order to not block the oplog tailer from continuing. Reported by: @awwx (The previous failure can made consistently reproducible by replacing the `Meteor.defer` that is removed by this commit with a `Meteor.setTimeout(,200)`.)
Meteor
Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern web applications.
With Meteor you write apps:
- in pure Javascript
- that send data over the wire, rather than HTML
- using your choice of popular open-source libraries
Documentation is available at http://docs.meteor.com/
Quick Start
Install Meteor:
curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
Create a project:
meteor create try-meteor
Run it:
cd try-meteor
meteor
Deploy it to the world, for free:
meteor deploy try-meteor.meteor.com
Slow Start (for developers)
If you want to run on the bleeding edge, or help develop Meteor, you can run Meteor directly from a git checkout.
git clone git://github.com/meteor/meteor.git
cd meteor
If you're the sort of person who likes to build everything from scratch, you can build all the Meteor dependencies (node.js, npm, mongodb, etc) with the provided script. If you do not run this script, Meteor will automatically download pre-compiled binaries when you first run it.
# OPTIONAL
./scripts/generate-dev-bundle.sh
Now you can run meteor directly from the checkout (if you did not build the dependency bundle above, this will take a few moments to download a pre-build version).
./meteor --help
From your checkout, you can read the docs locally. The /docs directory is a
meteor application, so simply change into the /docs directory and launch
the app:
cd docs/
../meteor
You'll then be able to read the docs locally in your browser at
http://localhost:3000/
Note that if you run Meteor from a git checkout, you cannot pin apps to specific
Meteor releases or run using different Meteor releases using --release.
Uninstalling Meteor
Aside from a short launcher shell script, Meteor installs itself inside your home directory. To uninstall Meteor, run:
rm -rf ~/.meteor/
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/meteor
