> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AMQ-3575
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3575
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Transport
> Affects Versions: 5.5.0
> Environment: CentOS 5.5 and Mac OSX10
> Reporter: Aaron Phillips
> Fix For: NEEDS_REVIEWED
>
> Attachments: FailoverNetworkConnectionRaceConditionTest.java

>
> There is a race condition in FailoverTransport.java that sometimes results in
> preventing network bridge connections from starting. This is a serious issue
> as it was preventing us from setting up failover connections between brokers.
> I would have asked it be critical if it weren't for a workaround. The
> workaround I have found is as follows:
> Turn on activemq thread pooling option to avoid failover bridge connection
> race condition. Change the following property to in your start script to
> make it false like so. Somehow this got me around the problem of the wrong
> thread sometimes winning:
> -Dorg.apache.activemq.UseDedicatedTaskRunner=false
> I've attached a unit test to be dropped in
> activemq-core/src/test/java/org/apache/activemq/transport/failover. The unit
> test shows that when a delay is introduced in setting of the
> TransportListener, the BrokerInfo command required to complete the bridge
> connection will never be processed. There are two unit tests in this class
> and both are designed to pass. The test called
> "testTcpThreadWinsPreventsCompletionOfBridge" passes by asserting that it
> *did not* receive the BrokerInfo command. You can see through setting the
> delay value that you can control whether the Main thread wins (in which case
> all is well), or the TCP thread wins (in which case the network bridge is
> hung and fails to start)
> Note, this issue only affects network bridge connections which are setup with
> failover transport, such as a broker that connects to a Master-Slave pair,
> e.g. failover://(tcp://master:61616,tcp://slave:61616)?randomize=false
