Unable to start Hotrod server

[savin7]

I have downloaded the distribution "infinispan-4.1.0.CR2" and tried to run the startServer.bat present inside bin directory with the below command in command prompt

startServer.bat -r hotrod

But it resulted in below error.

D:\Infinispan\infinispan-4.1.0.CR2-all\infinispan-4.1.0.CR2\bin>startServer.bat

Please advice. How to resolve this error. Where I might be going wrong. Advance thanks for the same

This is regression introduced in CR2, see https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-550

We're looking into it.

For it not to fail, as a workaround, you'll have to pass vaues for the following command line parameters, otherwise startup will fail.:

master_threads, work_threads, idle_timeout, tcp_no_delay, send_buf_size, recv_buf_size

[savin7]

Dear Galder,

First of all, thanks for sharing the information.

As suggested, I have tried the workaround by passing values as command line parameters. Below is my test command

D:\Infinispan\infinispan-4.1.0.CR2-all\infinispan-4.1.0.CR2\bin>

startServer.bat -m 3 -t 3 -i 60000 -n true -s 20000 -e 20000 -r hotrod

but still I am getting the same error.

Failed to boot JBoss:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:394)

Please let me know, How can I pass those values in command line parameters.

If possible, Kindly give me the command with the parameter values. So that I can try that.

My advance thanks for the same.

Regards,

Savin

Hi Savin,

I fixed the issue yesterday. It was a mixup in a code merge done for CR2. Please find attached infinispan-server-core-4.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar file that has the issue fixed. Replace  infinispan-4.1.0.CR2-all\infinispan-4.1.0.CR2\modules\hotrod\lib\infinispan-server-core-4.1.0-CR2.jar with the attached jar and try again with the original command line:  startServer.bat -r hotrod

No need to rename the jar when replacing, it can keep the -SNAPSHOT.jar ending.

Try it out and let us know how it goes.

Dear Galder,

As suggested, I have replaced the infinispan-server-core-4.1.0-CR2.jar with infinispan-server-core-4.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar in the lib folder and tried the command

startServer.bat -r hotrod

But still facing the same error

D:\Infinispan\infinispan-4.1.0.CR2-all\infinispan-4.1.0.CR2\bin>startServer.bat
-r hotrod
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.infinispan.server.core.Ma

Please advice. Kindly do the neeful.

Thanks & Regards,

Look at the timestamps - the latest snapshot is even older than CR2!  :-)

I've just kicked off a run to publish a new snapshot.  Please try again in about an hour, and make sure you run Maven with the -U option so you update all snapshots.

[manik]

Whoops, only just realised that Galder built a snapshot for you.  Ignore what I said earlier, I was under the impression you were using a snapshot from Maven as opposed to the jar Galder attached to his last message.

I'll leave this for Galder to resolve. 

[savin7]

Dear Galder,

Kindly provide some updates to solve this issue. I am waiting for your reply.

My advance thanks for the same.

For the time being, I got this working with below command.

startServer.bat -l localhost -p 11313 -m 20 -t 20 -c ../etc/config-samples/minimal.xml -r hotrod -i 600 -n true -s 1024000 -e 1024000 -o localhost -x 11313

the numbers are just given - not any recommended values...

[galder.zamarreno]

Don't panic

startServer.sh brings libraries from memcached and websocket modules as well, so you need to replace these libraries as well:

infinispan-4.1.0.CR2/modules/memcached/lib/infinispan-server-core-4.1.0.CR2.jar

infinispan-4.1.0.CR2/modules/websocket/lib/infinispan-server-core-4.1.0.CR2.jar

Once removed these, copy the snapshot jar into infinispan-4.1.0.CR2/modules/websocket/lib and infinispan-4.1.0.CR2/modules/memcached/lib
