-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All,
I've been testing the performance of various Tomcat configurations against Apache httpd and my serious tests are not completing for the NIO connector because the server is running out of files: > May 20, 2009 2:35:55 AM org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$Acceptor run > SEVERE: Socket accept failed > java.io.IOException: Too many open files > at sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.accept0(Native Method) > at > sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.accept(ServerSocketChannelImpl.java:145) > at > org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$Acceptor.run(NioEndpoint.java:1198) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) A bit of background for those who haven't followed the "Apache httpd vs Tomcat static content performance" thread: I'm running Tomcat 6.0.18 using tcnative 1.1.16. Apache httpd is not being used for this test, so the client is contacting Tomcat directly from localhost. $ uname -a Linux chadis 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 #2 PREEMPT Sat Dec 17 16:30:55 EST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux $ java -version java version "1.6.0_13" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode, sharing) $ ulimit -n (fds per process limit) 1024 1GiB RAM on the machine, here are the heap details /after/ the tests are run: $ jmap -heap 1430 Attaching to process ID 1430, please wait...

The command I ran to benchmark each connector was (for example): /usr/sbin/ab -c 40 -t 480 -n 10000000 http://localhost:8004/4kiB.bin This runs ApacheBench for 8 minutes with 40 client threads requesting a 4k file over and over again. This particular test succeeded, but there are 14 more tests, each using a file twice the size of the previous test. After the 128k file test, every single test fails after that. The last test I ran (with only 1 thread instead of 40), the NIO connector died in the same way, but the NIO connector without sendfile enabled appeared to work properly. This time (40 threads), neither of the connectors worker properly, the NIO connector failing to complete any tests after the 128kb test and the NIO-sendfile connector failed to complete /all/ of the tests (automatically run immediately following the NIO tests). No OOMEs were encountered: only the exception shown above (no more files). On my previous tests, lsof reported that only one of my files was still open by the process. After this most recent test, it appears that 954 of my static files are still open by the process (and the test ended over 24 hours ago). The initial set of tests (c=1) seemed to recover, while this second set of tests (c=40) has not. My knee-jerk reaction is that the most number of files that should ever be open is 40: one per request processing thread. Something, somewhere is causing these file descriptors to stay open. Unfortunately, I don't have any GC information for the time period covering the test. I still have the JVM running, so I can probably inspect it for certain things if anyone has any questions. Unfortunately, I can't run any new JSP files (out of files!) and it looks like I can't connect using jconsole (probably because the JVM can't open a new socket). I'd love some suggestions at to what's going on, here.
