Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-1804: ------------------------------------ Note that the code in trunk looks different and the following code was removed: {code} catch { case e: CancelledKeyException => { debug("Ignoring response for closed socket.") close(key) } } {code} There were also some fixes as part of KAFKA-2614. Furthermore, `Processor.run` and `Acceptor.run` also have try/catch blocks in trunk. All of this code is in `SocketServer.scala`: https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/network/SocketServer.scala So, this looks fixed to me. Could one of the people that have pointed out the issue in the code verify that my assessment is correct? > Kafka network thread lacks top exception handler > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1804 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1804 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0 > Reporter: Oleg Golovin > Priority: Critical > > We have faced the problem that some kafka network threads may fail, so that > jstack attached to Kafka process showed fewer threads than we had defined in > our Kafka configuration. This leads to API requests processed by this thread > getting stuck unresponed. > There were no error messages in the log regarding thread failure. > We have examined Kafka code to find out there is no top try-catch block in > the network thread code, which could at least log possible errors. > Could you add top-level try-catch block for the network thread, which should > recover network thread in case of exception? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
