I’m really wondering what is special about the Eclipse.org infrastructure that causes these failures


After discussions with the owners of CI infrastructures of similar and larger scale, the answer is that the CI system itself was not originally designed with this type of scalability in mind.  Since our CI system is open to the world, it's exposed to the Anonymous User and all the search engines out there that constantly fetch content (like build artifacts, logs, and such) which use up valuable threads.

As I write this, there was one IP address in France that has been reloading the /husdon home page continuously for the last 5 hours, and of the last 5000 page requests, they own 2300.  That consumes valuable threads,  memory and CPU cycles.  I've blocked their IP.

couldn't access to Hudson be limited to registered users having an Eclipse account ?
Anonymous downloads could still be served from download.eclipse.org and repo.eclipse.org.
