Known Issues

Long time to add requester_userid field to access data object

Adding new columns to a database table that already contains a lot of records can take a long time. The access table for EPrints can often have tens of millions of records. At such a size adding a new column can take in the order of hours. EPrints 3.4.5 add the new field requester_userid. This is intended to capture the logged in user that is viewing or downloading an eprint/document. This is useful for Open Education repositories that have different access permissions. However, if you have a large access table you may want to apply this patch from the GitHub issue.
