Scaling Bitbucket Data Centre for Continuous Integration performance
If you've got CI or other automatic tooling set up to poll Bitbucket Data Center for changes, you can end up with high load on your Bitbucket Data Center instance. Consider for instance a CI server that has a number of builds set up for a given repository. Each of those builds polls Bitbucket Data Center for changes and when it detects a change, it starts a new build. If your CI server supports parallel and/or chained build steps, each of these builds typically results in multiple clone operations of the same repository. The result: lots of polling for changes, and bursts of clones of a repository.
キャッシング
CI results in highly repetitive calls to Bitbucket Data Center: polling for changes typically results in the same response 90% of the time and a build triggers a number of identical clone calls to Bitbucket Data Center. Both operations can benefit greatly from caching when you experience repetitive load from CI.

制限事項
- Git 2.18 introduced version 2 of the Git wire protocol, which is fully supported by Bitbucket Data Center caching. Please note, that due to differences in the protocols, Git clients using version 1 of the wire protocol cannot use caches generated for clients using version 2 of the wire protocol, and vice versa. As a result, when there's a mix of clients using version 1 and 2 of the wire protocol, disk usage for caching can be higher and cache efficiency can be lower, compared to when all clients use the same version of the wire protocol.
Considerations
Cache data is stored on disk for clone operations for a configurable period of time. Since large instances can potentially consume an entire disk the SCM Cache Plugin monitors remaining disk space and is automatically disabled when the configured minimum free disk space is reached.
See Configuration properties for descriptions of the available system properties.
構成
The SCM Cache Plugin for Bitbucket Data Center can be configured using either the REST endpoint (some settings, not all) or the system properties in <BITBUCKET_HOME>/bitbucket.properties. Settings configured through REST are considered before the settings in bitbucket.properties.
