This is happening with the current 0.2.1.29 and the current alpha.
When a hidden service is restarted the old intro points are not valid
anymore. Tor seems to notice this and will fetch a new descriptor when it
has run out of intro points but then after doing this expensive operation
it simply discards it with the excuse that there is already *some*
descriptor there. The expensive operation of fetching has been done for
nothing.
The next time it will again try the old descriptor of which it already
*knows* that there are no valid intro points and fetch a new one (possibly
better one) again, but only to discard it without even looking at it,
again and again and again.
I have seen this going on for quite a long time sometimes. Sometimes I
have been unable to connect to a hidden service of which I *knew* that was
running for many hours and I'm sure if it had not discarded the newly
downloaded descriptor every time it would have been able to connect
eventually.
Something is still wrong with this whole caching logic. I am making heavy
use of hidden services with TorChat and sometimes it is really painful
watching the logs and watching it not being able to connect to a service
that *IS* running for hours and not being able to do anything about it.
rend_cache_store() should store the descriptor and replace the old one in
all cases. Either it is the exact same, then it has no effect at all or it
is different (then it is in all likelihood a better one than the one it
had before because it was fetched later than the cached one)
Alternatively there could be made a possibility to manually clear the
cache via the control protocol, either the complete cache or for an
individual service.
below is a log from the current stable version:
