Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-1501: ---------------------------------------------- [~guozhang] Yes, that's correct, so the only way to completely avoid the problem is to allow the kernel to assign the port automatically. I haven't checked, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the kernel actually saves recently freed ports to use for a fast path, which could explain why this happens more frequently than you might think it would given the fairly large range used for ephemeral ports. > transient unit tests failures due to port already in use > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1501 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1501 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core > Reporter: Jun Rao > Assignee: Guozhang Wang > Labels: newbie > Attachments: KAFKA-1501-choosePorts.patch, KAFKA-1501.patch, > KAFKA-1501.patch, KAFKA-1501.patch, KAFKA-1501.patch, > KAFKA-1501_2015-03-09_11:41:07.patch, test-100.out, test-100.out, > test-27.out, test-29.out, test-32.out, test-35.out, test-38.out, test-4.out, > test-42.out, test-45.out, test-46.out, test-51.out, test-55.out, test-58.out, > test-59.out, test-60.out, test-69.out, test-72.out, test-74.out, test-76.out, > test-84.out, test-87.out, test-91.out, test-92.out > > > Saw the following transient failures. > kafka.api.ProducerFailureHandlingTest > testTooLargeRecordWithAckOne FAILED > kafka.common.KafkaException: Socket server failed to bind to > localhost:59909: Address already in use. > at kafka.network.Acceptor.openServerSocket(SocketServer.scala:195) > at kafka.network.Acceptor.<init>(SocketServer.scala:141) > at kafka.network.SocketServer.startup(SocketServer.scala:68) > at kafka.server.KafkaServer.startup(KafkaServer.scala:95) > at kafka.utils.TestUtils$.createServer(TestUtils.scala:123) > at > kafka.api.ProducerFailureHandlingTest.setUp(ProducerFailureHandlingTest.scala:68) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
