Subscription Override

[toledoroy]

Hi,

After replacing some of the Meteor subscriptions to cached subscriptions some of them seem to have been overriding each other. (when one subscribes the former disappears)

I'm not sure when it happens or how to recreate this... or how to avoid it.

When making multiple subscriptions to the same point (I.e. 'post, 1', 'post, 2',[...]) how does the cache keep track and determine which subscription is which?

Hi,

It should work the same way Meteor does, depending on the parameters, meteor on client decides if it is a new subscription and store it on cache.

We currently use this package on our biggest app and have not seen problems like that.

Are you changing the collection locally our how do you know it is overridden?

Can you please show the post publication? Usually it is best practice to have one publication for one use case. How should post behave in your opinion, if the same client subscribes to the same publication with different parameters?

@paranoico I have quite an unusual case of subsequent subscriptions happening in my app. I guess that would usually not be a problem under common usage.
By "being overwritten" I mean that a previous subscription (that's displayed on the same page) disappears.
I see the package uses a hash made of a JSON stringify of all the parameters do identify subscriptions, which seems like it should prevent such overrides...
I'm still looking into it. I'll let you know if I find something out.

@jankapunkt I'm not sure how it should behave, I just expected it would be interchangeable with the Meteor subscribe and behave the same.

@toledoroy How do you determine the subs is overridden? Are you pushing changes using Meteor methods? Or are you changing data locally?
