Flavio Junqueira updated ZOOKEEPER-900:
---------------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
Hi Vishal, Good job, thanks! The patch is pretty much good for me. Just a few
points:
# Findbugs complained about the fact that we are not checking if sock is null
in line 674. It could be if the previous catch block is executed. I was
actually thinking that there should be a single try block followed by two catch
blocks, no?
# You may also consider fixing the other two issues Findbugs is complaining
about. The statement declaring msgLength should be removed. It was probably
there for debugging purposes;
# From the patch, it sounds like the formatting for some of the log statements
got messed up. I would appreciate if you could fix those. I've seen just a
couple of them.
> FLE implementation should be improved to use non-blocking sockets

> From earlier email exchanges:
> 1. Blocking connects and accepts:
> a) The first problem is in manager.toSend(). This invokes connectOne(), which
> does a blocking connect. While testing, I changed the code so that
> connectOne() starts a new thread called AsyncConnct(). AsyncConnect.run()
> does a socketChannel.connect(). After starting AsyncConnect, connectOne
> starts a timer. connectOne continues with normal operations if the connection
> is established before the timer expires, otherwise, when the timer expires it
> interrupts AsyncConnect() thread and returns. In this way, I can have an
> upper bound on the amount of time we need to wait for connect to succeed. Of
> course, this was a quick fix for my testing. Ideally, we should use Selector
> to do non-blocking connects/accepts. I am planning to do that later once we
> at least have a quick fix for the problem and consensus from others for the
> real fix (this problem is big blocker for us). Note that it is OK to do
> blocking IO in SenderWorker and RecvWorker threads since they block IO to the
> respective !
peer.
> b) The blocking IO problem is not just restricted to connectOne(), but also
> in receiveConnection(). The Listener thread calls receiveConnection() for
> each incoming connection request. receiveConnection does blocking IO to get
> peer's info (s.read(msgBuffer)). Worse, it invokes connectOne() back to the
> peer that had sent the connection request. All of this is happening from the
> Listener. In short, if a peer fails after initiating a connection, the
> Listener thread won't be able to accept connections from other peers, because
> it would be stuck in read() or connetOne(). Also the code has an inherent
> cycle. initiateConnection() and receiveConnection() will have to be very
> carefully synchronized otherwise, we could run into deadlocks. This code is
> going to be difficult to maintain/modify.
