multiplex transport for release 1.4.1

ron_sigal Mar 2, 2006 5:52 PM

I'm starting this thread to follow up "remaining issues with multiplex transport for 1.4.0 final" (http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=75672) so that Tim Fox will have a platform to beat on multiplex. ;-)

At the end of the aforementioned thread I wrote:

"timfox" wrote:

after creating and closing several hundred connections I'm getting outOfMemory errors - it looks like resources aren't being cleared up on close

Right now virtual socket groups, and the invoker groups that live on top of them, are good at not shutting down too soon (so we can't have a virtual socket joining a socket group that is already shutting down at the remote end), but they're not as good at shutting down in a timely manner. An invoker group on the client side gets things going on the server side by opening up a virtual "priming socket", which results in the creation of a virtual MultiplexServerInvoker. When the last member in the group shuts down, it closes the priming socket, and when the virtual server socket in the virtual MultiplexServerInvoker times out and sees that the priming socket has been closed, it shuts itself down.

The default timeout period for the virtual server socket is 60 seconds, but it can be set with the socketTimeout parameter. I suspect that Tim is seeing a lot of threads, created for the virtual socket infrastructure, just not dying soon enough. In general, there should be better shut down handling of invoker groups.

I added a mechanism to VirtualSocket which lets it inform listeners when its remote peer has closed. Now, instead of relying on a timeout, a virtual MultiplexServerInvoker registers as a listener on its "priming socket", and when that shuts down, the invoker shuts down.

Running Tim's test case that iteratively opens and closes 100 (Client, callback Connector) pairs, I see the following number of open (real) sockets at 2 second intervals: 2, 12, 12, 16, 11, 0. I.e., they seem to be closing pretty quickly.

I've had some time today to try and re-integrate multiplex into messaging to see if the previous problems are resolved.

Amongst other issues, I'm still seeing connections taking a long time to close.

Each connection typically takes 2 to 3 minutes (!) to close after the client has been disconnected and the callbackserver closed.

This results in us running out of connections very quickly in the test suite.

It also means that any jms application opening more than 1 connection every 2 to 3 minutes will end up with open connections building up unsustainably. Which clearly is not going to work in the real world.

I think connection closing really *must* be synchronous with closing of the jms connection, otherwise I don't see how we can use multiplex as the UIL2 transport for messaging.

How easy would it be to make it synchronous?

JBossMessaging 1.0 is released at the end of the month and as you know we are reliant on multiplex for the UIL2 replacement.

Other option would be to simply (famous last words) port UIL2 to remoting as a new transport, since we do not require all the bells and whistles of full-blown multiplex, we just need a simple UIL2 style transport (it needs to have the same or better performance as UIL2 too) which uses the same socket for traffic in both directions.

I guess this could be done by extending and modifying the socket transport.

Although I doubt whether this could be done by the end of the month.

Tim,

I've been running a version of the performance test you once wrote (listing below), which just does this:

for i = 0; i < N; i++
 open client
 invoke()
 close client

and what I'm seeing is that the actual sockets are closing and then remaining in a TIME_WAIT state, which is what they're supposed to do. (See, e.g.,
http://www.developerweb.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2941.) Open sockets are shown by netstat as being in an ESTABLISHED state. I ran the following script while running the test program to watch for open sockets:

#!/bin/tcsh

set seconds = 0

while (1)
 echo -n ${seconds}": "
 netstat -n | grep tcp | grep ESTABLISHED |wc |cut -b2-12
 sleep 5
 @ seconds += 5
end

and for N=500 I got

0: 1
5: 11
10: 15
15: 11
20: 14
25: 15
30: 13
35: 15
40: 15
45: 11
50: 1

(That last socket was held by Eclipse, for some reason.) In other words, the number of open socket settles into a steady state. (The performance isn't good, but that's another matter.)

So, are we looking at two different things?

Here's the test program:

Ron-

I am running the test which I gave you some time ago which creates and "closes" multiplex connections in a loop, and after the connections have been closed I am seeing tcp connections in an ESTABLISHED state, not a TIME_WAIT state.

Here's a snip from my netstat output.

I seem to get one established connection for each multiplex connection I create and close in the loop

For continous operation, I should be able to open and close connections ad infinitum in a loop - this is what JMS clients would do.

When I make the loop infinite after a few seconds it dies with OutOfMemory Error:

I have sent the test case to you. The test you want is "testMultiplex"

I noticed that in the test you're using you not creating a callback server, in the test I am using, I create one.

ron_sigal Mar 9, 2006 11:07 PM (in response to ron_sigal)

Tim,

Well, the situation is rather murky.

1. I discovered a problem, with a workaround, that probably isn't related to the socket close problem. Client invokers can be shared by multiple Clients connected to the same serverr. When one of those clients closes, the invoker is destroyed, and it is recreated the next time another Client needs it. I didn't really appreciate until now that this causes a problem for MultiplexClientInvoker, since closing a MultiplexClientInvoker that doesn't have a companion callback MultiplexServerInvoker causes the "priming" socket to close, which can cause the server side MultiplexServerInvoker to close, even if it's still in use. The workaround is to use a different InvokerLocator for every Client so that they never share a MultiplexClientInvoker. E.g., I changed ""multiplex://localhost:9099/?blah=123" to ""multiplex://localhost:9099/?blah=" + localPort. Now, this isn't very nice, and I will create a JIRA issue about.

2. Before I made that change, your program didn't always run to completion for me, but even so I couldn't duplicate your results. The sockets seemed to be closing in a reasonable way. After making the change, I ran the loop 2000 times and got the following live socket counts at 2 second intervals:

54: 4
56: 6
58: 38
60: 48

118: 8
120: 6

This is your program with just the one change. It must be something about the way we're running the program, or the environment. I'm running inside of Eclipse, for example. Is there anything else going on when you're running? I'm mystified.

3. I found that after about 2000 iterations, I got an Out of Memory exception. I will start looking for a memory leak.

Just to be absolutely explicit here is the test you need to run. Don't run it in eclipse:

public void testMultiplex() throws Throwable
 {
 //Start a server

 Connector serverConnector = new Connector();
 InvokerLocator serverLocator = new InvokerLocator("multiplex://localhost:9099");
 serverConnector.setInvokerLocator(serverLocator.getLocatorURI());
 serverConnector.create();
 SimpleServerInvocationHandler invocationHandler = new SimpleServerInvocationHandler();
 serverConnector.addInvocationHandler("JMS", invocationHandler);
 serverConnector.start();

 log.info("Server started");

 for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++)
 {
 //Create a client for invoking on the server:
 int localPort = PortUtil.findFreePort("localhost");

 log.info("Free port is:" + localPort);

 String locatorURI =
 "multiplex://localhost:9099/?blah=123";

 InvokerLocator locatorClient = new InvokerLocator(locatorURI);
 Map configuration = new HashMap();
 configuration.put(MultiplexServerInvoker.CLIENT_MULTIPLEX_ID_KEY, "mytestid" + i);
 configuration.put(MultiplexServerInvoker.MULTIPLEX_BIND_HOST_KEY, "localhost");
 configuration.put(MultiplexServerInvoker.MULTIPLEX_BIND_PORT_KEY, String.valueOf(localPort));

 Client client = new Client(locatorClient, configuration);

 log.info("Created client");

 client.connect();

 log.info("Invoking");

 String response = (String)client.invoke("Cheese");

 log.info("Invocation completed");

 assertNotNull(response);
 assertEquals("Sausages", response);

 Connector callbackServerConnector = new Connector();

 InvokerLocator callbackServerLocator = new InvokerLocator("multiplex://localhost:" + localPort + "/?serverMultiplexId=mytestid" + i);

 callbackServerConnector.setInvokerLocator(callbackServerLocator.getLocatorURI());
 callbackServerConnector.create();
 callbackServerConnector.start();

 log.info("Created callback server");


 log.info("Invoking");

 response = (String)client.invoke("Cheese");

 log.info("Invocation completed");

 assertNotNull(response);
 assertEquals("Sausages", response);

 SimpleCallbackHandler callbackHandler = new SimpleCallbackHandler();

 client.addListener(callbackHandler, callbackServerLocator);

 assertNotNull(invocationHandler.handler);

 Callback cb = new Callback("Squirrel");

 invocationHandler.handler.handleCallback(cb);

 assertNotNull(callbackHandler.callback);
 assertEquals("Squirrel", callbackHandler.callback.getParameter());

 client.disconnect();

 callbackServerConnector.stop();

 callbackServerConnector.destroy();

 }

 Thread.sleep(1000 * 60 * 30 * 10);

 //Now run netstat -a and see how many TCP connections are open!

 }

It is 100% reproducible for me.

BTW would do you mean "sockets closing in a reasonable way"?

To be useful for us, sockets need to be closed (or returned to the pool)

a) synchronously
b) quickly

ron_sigal Mar 10, 2006 2:27 PM (in response to ron_sigal)

Well, I don't get it. I copied and pasted your test case and ran it with a task I added to the JBossRemoting main build.xml file, and I'm still seeing the sockets leaving the ESTABLISHED state. I made two changes to your code: (1) I added a distinctive tag to locatorURI, and (2) I commented out the Thread.sleep() to get a better sense of the timing. But I get the same behavior with the Thread.sleep() in place.

I think I mean the same thing you do by "sockets closing in a reasonable way". Here's the ant output:

Buildfile: build.xml

and here's the output of a script running at the same time, counting sockets in ESTABLISHED state (4 of which predated the test):

The program is creating about 35 sockets/second, and we never see more than 32 - 4, so it looks like the sockets are closing in less than a second.

Well, what else can you tell me about how you're running the test? There must be SOME difference!!!

timfox Mar 10, 2006 2:52 PM (in response to ron_sigal)

The Thread.sleep is crucial to prevent the process exiting (I guess this could be done another way though)

The idea is we open and close N connections.

Then we hit the Thread.sleep - this prevents the process from exiting.

While the thread is sleeping, do netstat -a.

This is when I see established connections.

If I then wait (with the Thread still sleeping), then after some time the connections eventually disappear.

Can you try this?

BTW I am running Windows XP. Maybe it's a platform issue.

Coincidentally, I just came back to the forum to tell you that I get the same results on Windows XP and linux (kernel 2.6.8.1-10mdk).

I took the Thread.sleep() out just to get an idea about timing. I get the same results when I leave it in.

How are you starting the program? Ant? java on the command line?

This doesn't make any sense.

Ron, can you validate that you are doing *exactly* the following:

Using exactly the test I sent you the other day, using ant from the command line

After the loop is run, the Thread.sleep line is hit, *immediately* run netstat -a (please don't use a script) in another console.

You should see many connections in state "ESTABLISHED".

After a minute or so, they change their state to TIME_WAIT.

When you exit the process (CTRL-C) they disappear altogether.

Can you validate this?

If not, then I shall try and create a small program that does the above automatically and captures the results, and ask you to run it on your system.

Unfortunately I am extremely busy right now with messaging 1.0 release so not sure when I will have time to do this.
