Clojurians Log v2

Hello there fellow clojurenauts! I’ve been diving into the datomic world, trying to learn the basics but one thing has been bothering me a bit. When running something like this:

(defn -main [& args]
  (println "Doing stuff...")
  (d/create-database client {:db-name db-name})
  (d/connect client {:db-name db-name})
  (println "Sutff done."))

A 1 minute pause is a classic sign that there a future or agent has been used, and the Clojure runtime will have a background thread that takes 1 minute to timeout before the jvm will exit

(shutdown-agents) will work to allow the jvm to exit

There is no active work here, it’d just a background cached for reuse if needed - this is not special to Datomic

https://clojure.org/guides/faq#agent_shutdown

Ohh, that totally makes sense! Thanks for the quick reply :)

@bardes0022 datomic on prem has a shutdown function with an optional argument to shut down the agents

Oh, even better :)

It’s been a while :)
