Re: H12 errors, blocked dynos and Heroku website claims.

I am quite surprised this is expected behavior.

The documentation on the site is now out of date and is highly
misleading. The entire 2 paragraphs of the backlog section are untrue.

Wow.. that does say the mesh will hold a request until an app is
available, but that is not how Heroku is currently operating..

I'll write this up a bit better and send it off to Heroku support...
but here is how to duplicate...

Re: H12 errors, blocked dynos and Heroku website claims.

2011-02-16 Thread Tim W
It is not identical to what Heroku is providing.. The Heroku mesh
seems to blindly sends a request to a dyno, no matter the current
status of the dyno. The queue is at the dyno level. Passenger holds
back the request until a process is available..

With passenger you do not end up in the situation noted below, where
as with Heroku you do..
(Request Y gets served ok with passenger, with Heroku, request Y gets
the H12 error)

Quoted from passenger docs (this is what happens if you have that
feature turned off on passenger and what always happens with Heroku):
--
The situation looks like this:

Backend process A:  [* ]  (1 request in queue)
Backend process B:  [***   ]  (3 requests in queue)
Backend process C:  [***   ]  (3 requests in queue)
Backend process D:  [***   ]  (3 requests in queue)
Each process is currently serving short-running requests.

Phusion Passenger will forward the next request to backend process A.
A will now have 2 items in its queue. We’ll mark this new request with
an X:

Backend process A:  [*X]  (2 request in queue)
Backend process B:  [***   ]  (3 requests in queue)
Backend process C:  [***   ]  (3 requests in queue)
Backend process D:  [***   ]  (3 requests in queue)

Assuming that B, C and D still aren’t done with their current request,
the next HTTP request - let’s call this Y - will be forwarded to
backend process A as well, because it has the least number of items in
its queue:

Backend process A:  [*XY   ]  (3 requests in queue)
Backend process B:  [***   ]  (3 requests in queue)
Backend process C:  [***   ]  (3 requests in queue)
Backend process D:  [***   ]  (3 requests in queue)

But if request X happens to be a long-running request that needs 60
seconds to complete, then we’ll have a problem. Y won’t be processed
for at least 60 seconds. It would have been a better idea if Y was
forward to processes B, C or D instead, because they only have short-
living requests in their queues.

I guess I am just used to using passenger which uses a global queue,
making a single long running request a non issue.

Re: H12 errors, blocked dynos and Heroku website claims.

2011-02-16 Thread Tim W
Thanks, I will give rack-timeout a try.

So what it seems like is that the routing mesh is not as sophisticated
as Heroku leads on?

H12 errors, blocked dynos and Heroku website claims.

2011-02-16 Thread Tim W
The Heroku website claims:

http://heroku.com/how/dyno_grid_last#3
"If a dyno is unresponsive for any reason (user bugs, long requests,
or high load), other requests will be routed around it."

In my experience, this does not seem to be the case. We have several
admin features in our app that when requested with certain params, it
can take longer then 30s to run. (I am working on ways to get these in
check and in the background). When a user trips one of these long
running requests, Heroku appears to queue additional requests to this
dyno and those requests time out, even though there are plenty of
other dynos available to handle that request.

Is the statement on the Heroku website true or false? It does not
appear that Heroku actively monitors the dynos to see if they are busy
with a long running request. Is there a better way to handle this
situation?

Thanks..

Disregard.. I traced it back to something wrong with the Compass gem.

Connecting to 2nd database... `establish_connection': xxx database is not configured (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified)

2010-09-07 Thread Tim W
Trying to get our app up and running on Heroku and am having some
issues with the models that connect to a 2nd remote database.
I get the error:

:in `establish_connection': wawd database is not configured
(ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified)

The database is configured in database.yml and currently works outside
of heroku in a production setting

xxx:
  adapter: mysql
  database: 
  username: 
  password: 
  host: x

And the models include:

  establish_connection :xxx

Is this not a valid way of connecting to a database on Heroku? Should
it be configured differently?

Thanks...
