Summary0000031: Using DatabaseFilters and mysql/postgre and non-blocking mpi at the same time causes a race condition
DescriptionDatabaseFilters write a structure and then if necessary delete the structure being filtered out. In normal operation this is fine, as the MPIWorkPoolJobDistributor blocks so only one node can output at a time. Blocking is not strictly necessary when outputting to a database server, and can cause bottlenecking in short protocols. However, if blocking is disabled using the -jd2:mpi_fast_nonblocking_output, two processes can try to simultaniously delete the same pose, which causes a crash when the delete option fails.
Steps To Reproducerun any jd2 supported application outputting to a database server with a large number of MPI managed nodes, a large nstruct and jd2:mpi_fast_nonblocking_output turned on. It will crash at some point when the race condition occurs.
TagsNo tags attached.

I'm lowering this to low priority because it's actually quite tricky to fix and it's not really that big a deal to just use the nonblocking output for the time being.
