I could argue that if they are benign, reporting them adds unnecessary stress. I kinda figured they were harmless but thought it might be worth mentioning. I guess I'd open a JIRA issue to discuss it - we would probably want to consistently tackle the code base. Currently, I think we usually log something on interruptions. Second, I re-worked the stress test program to use the old-style solr.xml file then re-ran the tests from trunk w/o any of the changes for SOLR-4196. I worked for a couple of hours then I had to stop, but tonight it ran for just a few minutes (I updated the code this morning) and got the same error (stack below just in case I'm imagining things). Next step I guess is I'll apply the changes you indicated above to trunk and see if it I can make it happen again. That said, it's a bit of apples-to-oranges but worth doing nonetheless...

Re: Stress test deadlocks
bq: I don't follow this at all - of course you could rapidly load and unload cores at the same time before this patch? Not quite what I was trying to say. The stress test opens and closes cores a LOT. Of course you could open and close cores simultaneously before. In fact given what I think is a new pattern I'm amazed that there aren't a lot more problems, that's some damn good code. What's new is the stress test opens and closes a core with *every* call. From 30 threads, 15 indexing and 15 querying. bq: If you cannot easily produce a test that causes deadlock without your patch I don't know how you'd really write a predictable junit test, the time window for the race here is small. I had to run my stress test for 20-30 minutes to hit it. I think I can modify the stress test to use old-style solr.xml which I could run against current trunk, is it worth it though after your second look? Note that this open/closing a core every call from the stress test wasn't really possible the same way before SOLR-1028, one of the keys is that the transient cores have to be aged out. The bolds below are new code (SOLR-1028+): at org.apache.solr.core.CoreMaps$1.*removeEldestEntry* (CoreContainer.java:1384) .. at org.apache.solr.core.CoreMaps.*putTransientCore*(CoreContainer.java:1444) If you still think it's worthwhile, I have some travel time tomorrow that I could use to make this test run with old-style solr.xml. Let me know. I'm also wondering if the stress test should go into our test suite somewhere. It's possible to bring the stress test into junit I think, there's nothing magic about it. But it might be better as an external test that we run on, say, a nightly or weekly basis, is there precedent? bq: Because they are different locks protecting different state. So you're saying that synchronizing the method actually is protecting the SolrCore that's passed as a parameter? Otherwise I don't get it, seems like moving the synchronized block to the first line of, e.g., newIndexWriter and removing synchronized from the method signature would be sufficient. That said, my hack of removing the synchronized from the method signature was more to poke that what I thought I saw than a well thought-out solution... Which is why I'm glad you're looking too... Yes, the code attached to the JIRA is the latest. You've got enough on your plate I'm sure, I'll apply your patch and let you know. I had a little trouble with SVN applying it cleanly, but I think I reconciled it correctly...

Two runs doth not a conclusion reach, but removing synchronized from: DefaultSolrCoreState.getIndexWriter (line 78) let me run for an hour, at least twice. And my stress test succeeds, which fires up 15 indexing threads on 100 cores (transient core size is 20), indexes documents for an hour while another 15 threads fire off queries. At the end, it inspects each core to see if there are the expected number of documents. But that's kinda a frail reed to pin my hopes on, these are notoriously hard to reproduce.

Re: Stress test deadlocks
There is a lot of complicated interplay between locks in that area of the code - small changes can easily get you into trouble. Can you modify your test to run on the code before your patch? That would help in telling if it's something existing or something your introducing. I still plan on looking at this issue closer this week, so perhaps I can offer some more help soon. - Mark On Jan 29, 2013, at 1:26 PM, Erick Erickson erickerick...@gmail.com wrote: Two runs doth not a conclusion reach, but removing synchronized from: DefaultSolrCoreState.getIndexWriter (line 78) let me run for an hour, at least twice.

Re: Stress test deadlocks
First, I approach synchronization with fear and loathing because it's so easy to screw up, so any comments deeply appreciated. Second, the code (see below) in DefaultSolrCoreState just looks wrong. Why synchronize the entire method and then synchronize everything except the error condition on a _different_ object? The same thing happens a bit further down in the newIndexWriter method and yet again potentially in, I think, every synchronized method. That seems like classic deadlock-vulnerable code. I really think we've been getting away with this because the incidence of simultaneously opening and closing cores is very low, or was before the many cores madness. In fact, I'm not sure _any_ of the synchronized methods in DefaultSolrCoreState should be synchronized. Odd that I had that exact thought about running this against the unmodified code an hour ago on the way back from some family business. I'm not entirely sure what it would show though, since you don't get into this situation without loading and unloading cores at the same time, the stuff from SOLR-1028 and SOLR-4300. Which you couldn't do before this rapidly. The deadlock is definitely happening when closing a core, which generally wouldn't happen the way it's happening with the stress test before the other changes. I can say that the deadlock doesn't involve any of the new synchronization SOLR-4196 has introduced, but I think is a consequence of rapidly opening/closing cores. Now that I look more closely, the stack trace for the deadlocked cores are _both_ in DefaultSolrCoreState. Smoking gun? re: reviewing the patch. It spun out of control as I tried to get all of the solr.xml purged. It's huge. For the main changes to things like CoreContainer I don't think looking at the differences will help, we'll have to evaluate it as new code. I'd be happy to get on a marathon remote-review session with anyone who wants to rip things apart. All tests pass at this point, but I'm not sure how much that really means in terms of deadlocking And I'm particularly uncertain of the violence I did to persisting Final comment. With the one synchronization on the one method removed, I've had about 11 hours if my stress test run without problems. So this is in the right area at least. I'm about to remove the other synchronized statement on the methods and run it overnight, will look at the logs and report in the morning. Here's the code pattern I just think is wrong (pseudo). It's repeated several times... public synchronized RefCountedIndexWriter getIndexWriter(SolrCore core) throws IOException { if (closed) { throw new RuntimeException(SolrCoreState already closed); } synchronized (writerPauseLock) { all the rest of the method } } On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 1:32 PM, Mark Miller markrmil...@gmail.com wrote: There is a lot of complicated interplay between locks in that area of the code - small changes can easily get you into trouble.

And my stress test succeeds, which fires up 15 indexing threads on 100 cores (transient core size is 20), indexes documents for an hour while another 15 threads fire off queries. At the end, it inspects each core to see if there are the expected number of documents. But that's kinda a frail reed to pin my hopes on, these are notoriously hard to reproduce. I'll set this up to run on an old machine for much longer later today. Does anyone who knows that code know whether I'm playing with fire? I haven't looked at the synchronization in that code to try to figure out the purpose, I'm hoping someone will glance at it and say that's wrong. I'll dig into it later and see how much I can figure out about whether it's safe FWIW, On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 8:31 AM, Erick Erickson erickerick...@gmail.com wrote: All: As part of SOLR-4196, I'm opening and closing cores at a furious rate. My tests are running for 20-40 minutes then locking up quite regularly. Of course the first place I'm looking is my recent code, since it has a bunch of synchronized blocks. The deadlock is definitely happening at a call from the new code to close a Solr core, so to really look at this anyone will need to get the patch I'll put up in a minute. The deadlock trace is below. But without going that far, I question whether it's really anything to do with new synchronizations I'm doing or whether it's just something that's been lurking for a while and I'm flushing out of the woodwork.

If you cannot easily produce a test that causes deadlock without your patch, I'm less inclined to believe it's an existing issue.

Re: Stress test deadlocks
Digging into the stack traces... This shows a thread waiting for the commit lock trying to close an index writer. There is another thread with the commit lock that is waiting for the writer to be returned. That seems to be the situation - a race around the commit lock.

Do you have your latest work attached to the issue? If so, I'll start working with it locally. For now, can you try this experimental, test patch and see what the results are?
