list_replicas()

• It was realized that both pilot and rucio server called list_replicas() which is unnecessary and has increased the load on the rucio servers due to the ongoing migration to use rucio as sitemover and since rucio will call list_replicas() for each input file download. A quick fix for this is to use the --pfn option with rucio download which will prevent rucio from also calling list_replicas(). It will however bypass useful features including fallbacks so a better solution is being implemented on the rucio side (which will add a locally cached metadata file) which will require another pilot update during the next couple of weeks.

Wrong error message

• It was discovered that the error message "Payload exceeded max allowed memory" was overwritten by the error message for a kill signal which thus ended up on the monitor page for the failed job. This should now be fixed. Reported by R. Walker
