In Consul v0.8.4 or later,
consul watch -type event child
invokes a child process several time with the same events, which is unexpected.Description: https://gist.github.com/yunazuno/798372ec53b01cf36e7ef00b691ba3ae
This problem is possibly caused by a monotonicity check for
p.lastIndex
inwatch/plan.go
.Unlike the other watch types, "event" doesn't have monotonic index. Therefore, the monotonicity check sometime unexpectedly resets
p.lastIndex
.This PR disables the monotonicity check when type of a watch is "event" in order to prevent the issue.
