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 This post is a duplicate of a StackOverflow question I asked last Friday [<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71707726/using-a-processor-factory-with-tmultiplexedprocessor-in-thrift>|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71707726/using-a-processor-factory-with-tmultiplexedprocessor-in-thrift] Thanks in advance, Julien Greard 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 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
