Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-4510:
-------------------------------------
I vaguely remember people on the mailing list expressed concerns even about the
heartbeat messages so throwing stack traces at everyone would be probably a bit
too much. I see a few options.
1) Stack traces are dumped at test/suite timeout, so you could simply override
the default and lower this timeout locally:
For tests only:
-Dtests.timeout=5000!
For entire suites:
-Dtests.timeoutSuite=10000!
Note the '!' at the end which means the property should take precedence over
annotations. The scale is millis.
2) The above workaround has an obvious problem that the stack trace is not
dumped repeatedly which can be extremely useful in telling which parts of the
code a thread was locked in. In fact, randomized runner once HAD a snippet of
code which was doing it automatically -- on timeout it would probe stack traces
of all threads a few times at random intervals and then it would print the
'diverging' paths for each thread (along with the constant part). I removed it
because it wasn't used by anybody :)
So... I could add yet another option that would dump stack traces on heartbeats
but it would be turned off by default which I think is sensible. This option
could also take a number which would mean roughly: "start dumping stack traces
after the N-th heartbeat".
Let me know if (2) sounds good to you.

> Reporter: Michael McCandless

> We've had numerous cases where tests were hung but the "operator" of that
> particular Jenkins instance struggles to properly get a stack dump for all
> threads and eg accidentally kills the process instead (rather awful that the
> same powerful tool "kill" can be used to get stack traces and to destroy the
> process...).
> Is there some way the test infra could do this for us, eg when it prints the
> HEARTBEAT message?
