#30818: Django can't handle m2m relations well sometimes -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AvTiMp | Owner: nobody Type: Bug | Status: new Component: Database | Version: master layer (models, ORM) | Keywords: Django 1.9 Python Severity: Normal | 2.7.10 Triage Stage: | Has patch: 0 Unreviewed | Needs documentation: 0 | Needs tests: 0 Patch needs improvement: 0 | Easy pickings: 0 UI/UX: 0 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In my case, we have hundreds of pods who run gunicorn to handle requests and controlled by k8s hpa, we set that gunicorn should restart one worker's thread who has handled 10000 requests, so there could be thosands of restart per day. but something strange happens then, sometimes a gunicorn wroker thread report an error like this:
{{{ host : dp-b6b59027f6-57f89f9547-4qpv5 username: args : () kwargs : {} exc : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rest_framework/views.py", line 471, in dispatch response = handler(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/opt/tiger/tce_platform/src/platform_site/service/views/service_v3.py", line 715, in get_by_psm result = serializer.data File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/rest_framework/serializers.py", line 507, in data ret = super(Serializer, self).data File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/rest_framework/serializers.py", line 239, in data self._data = self.to_representation(self.instance) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/rest_framework/serializers.py", line 476, in to_representation ret[field.field_name] = field.to_representation(attribute) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/rest_framework/serializers.py", line 615, in to_representation iterable = data.all() if isinstance(data, models.Manager) else data File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/django/db/models/manager.py", line 223, in all return self.get_queryset() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py", line 792, in get_queryset return qs._next_is_sticky().filter(**self.core_filters) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 790, in filter return self._filter_or_exclude(False, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 808, in _filter_or_exclude clone.query.add_q(Q(*args, **kwargs)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 1243, in add_q clause, _ = self._add_q(q_object, self.used_aliases) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 1269, in _add_q allow_joins=allow_joins, split_subq=split_subq, File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 1149, in build_filter lookups, parts, reffed_expression = self.solve_lookup_type(arg) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 1035, in solve_lookup_type _, field, _, lookup_parts = self.names_to_path(lookup_splitted, self.get_meta()) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 1330, in names_to_path "Choices are: %s" % (name, ", ".join(available))) FieldError: Cannot resolve keyword u'service' into field. Choices are: id, is_primary, port, type }}} then all same kind of requests proxying to this failed with the same error, but other threads work just as excepted. To find the reason, I echo the field info of all models at our handler func when error occurs, like this: {{{ from django.core.exceptions import FieldError try: ##handler logic here ##just try to get one instance of model service who has many ManyToManyFields(with model B, C, D ...). they all belongs to app service except FieldError as e: from django.apps import apps for v in apps.get_app_config('service').get_models(include_auto_created=True, include_deferred=True): print('-----------------', v.__name__) # <class 'django.utils.datastructures.ImmutableList'> print(' ----------', v._meta.get_fields()) raise e }}} then I found that model B has no field `<ManyToManyRel: service.service>`, so we have the previous error `Cannot resolve keyword u'service' into field`. but in other healthy threads they all have this field. I think the func '''_populate_directed_relation_graph''' generate all relate fields then store them in `__dict__` which leading to the errors of all coming requests.
