-------------------------------------

             Summary: C++ - Can't interrupt the handler on the server side 
while using TMultiplexedProcessor in case of client deconnection
                 Key: THRIFT-5547
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5547
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Brainstorming
          Components: C++ - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.16.0
            Reporter: julien greard


Hello, 

I have the following architecture in my code: 

 * 1 thrift Server 
 * 1 thrift MultiplexedProcessor 
 * several Services & associated processors/handlers 
 * N thrift clients (several by processor/handler) 
 * 1 queue which contains the tasks asked by the clients 

What I*really*want is to be able cancel a task when a client crashes. 

Let me explain: 

Let's say I have the following service handler method : 

|// inside thrift handler // this method is currently instanciated once and 
called by every client void do_stuff(const std::string& parameter) \{ auto task 
= make_task(parameter); auto future_result = task .get_future(); 
add_to_queue(task); auto status = resultFuture.wait_for(timeout); // wait here 
until the task is over if (status != std::future_status::timeout) { return 
future_result.get(); } } | 

If the client crashes/disconnects, there is no need to process with the task 
anymore, so I would like to cancel it (remove from my queue) asap. 

To do so, I had the following ideas: 

1/ Using the*setServerEventHandler*method from my Thrift Server to be notified 
when a client disconnects (deleteContext method). It works very well but I am 
not able to know which request was made by which specific client: within my 
handler I do not have access to the client infos, and I can't use (or didnt 
managed to) the void * context created by the method creatContext in my 
ServerEventHandler 

2/ Using the contructor & destructor of my handler object to link 1 client to 1 
handler. Then when the client disconnects, I only have to cancel every task he 
asked in the handler destructor. Currently I have N client and 1 handler, so it 
doesn't work. I figured I could use a TMultiplexedProcessorFactory but there is 
no such class in thrift. The TMultiplexedProcessor has to register Processor 
(with single handler) when I'd like to register a Factory which will create one 
handler instance by client. I could implement my own 
TMultiplexedProcessorFactory but I think there might be a good reason this 
doesn't exist yet. 

Any idea of what I should do ? 

I can post it inhttps://issues.apache.org/but it's not exactly an issue with 
thrift (great lib btw), rather than a question. 

Thanks in advance, don't hesitate to ask for more details

There has been an answer to this request in 
[dev@thrift.apache.org|mailto:dev@thrift.apache.org] : the user Yuxuan Wang has 
described having the same issue in Go and he solved it by adding  a context to 
the handler services + a thread watchding regularly the opened sockets
