Hi there, I am using Apache Curator 4.1.0 with Zk 3.4.10 (Open JDK 1.8) openjdk version "1.8.0_191"
I am PersistentNode recipe and I am receiving this exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: initial create has not been processed. Call waitForInitialCreate() to ensure. at org.apache.curator.shaded.com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(Preconditions.java:444) at org.apache.curator.framework.recipes.nodes.PersistentNode.setData(PersistentNode.java:392) at com.cheva.udr.sm.RemoteReporter.reportToRemote(RemoteReporter.java:67) at com.cheva.udr.sm.RemoteReporter.lambda$2(RemoteReporter.java:84) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) My class RemoteReporter.java (assumes that PersistentNode is thread safe) // The class is final, and the attribute is private final so allow safe publicationprivate final Persistent pn; Constrcutor() {...PersistentNode pn = new PersistentNode(cf, CreateMode.EPHEMERAL, false, path, dataToReport()); } // Class has also an start methodstart() {...79 pn.start();...// Create new thread and execute the follwoing code84 pn.waitForInitialCreate(1000, TimeUnit.DAYS);85 pn.setData("XXx");86 statusCache.getListenable().addListener(listener);} I was checking the PersistentNode code and the excepction happens because nodePath.get()==null variable. I am not 100% sure if the problem is in my code or in the recipe... - My code is using the waitForinitial as suggested- The recipe uses a CountDownLatch, but there are 2 different paths for the latch to be countDown (via initalisationComplete() method), and I am not sure that one of them assures that nodePath.get() != null In this code snippet, you can see that the latch is countDown, but I am not sure that nodePath.set(whatever) is called, so I guess there could be a race condition private final BackgroundCallback setDataCallback = new BackgroundCallback() { @Override public void processResult(CuratorFramework dummy, CuratorEvent event) throws Exception { //If the result is ok then initialisation is complete (if we're still initialising) //Don't retry on other errors as the only recoverable cases will be connection loss //and the node not existing, both of which are already handled by other watches. if ( event.getResultCode() == KeeperException.Code.OK.intValue() ) { //Update is ok, mark initialisation as complete if required. initialisationComplete(); } else if ( event.getResultCode() == KeeperException.Code.NOAUTH.intValue() ) { log.warn("Client does not have authorisation to write node at path {}", event.getPath()); authFailure.set(true); } } }; Thanks in adavance for the help, Evaristo
