Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRMINA-764:
-------------------------------------------
Ok, there is some slight problem in the client : we don't wait for the
response, we immediately send another message. The server does not have the
time to send the response, as it is pounded with new requests.
I have slightly modified the client code to wait until some bytes are
available, instead of immediately sending a new message.
The server is now stable, dealing with around 12 000 message per second. No
OOM, but a very high CPU consumption.
Sadly, I can tell if the System CPU is caused by the server at this point. I
have to run the test on different machines.
However, I keep this issue open, because a malevolent client can kill a mina
server in a matter of seconds. This has to be fixed.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-RC1
> Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 2.0.0

> We can kill a server in just a few seconds using the stress test found in
> DIRMINA-762.
> If we inject messages with no delay, using 50 threads to do that, the
> ProtocolCodecFilter$MessageWriteRequest is stuffed with hundred of thousands
> messages waiting to be written back to the client, with no success.
> On the client side, we receive almost no messages :
> 0 messages/sec (total messages received 1)
> 2 messages/sec (total messages received 11)
> 8 messages/sec (total messages received 55)
> 8 messages/sec (total messages received 95)
> 9 messages/sec (total messages received 144)
> 3 messages/sec (total messages received 162)
> 1 messages/sec (total messages received 169)
> ...
> On the server side, the memory is totally swamped in 20 seconds, with no way
> to recover :
> Exception in thread "pool-1-thread-1" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap
> space
> (see graph attached)
> On the server, ConcurrentLinkedQueue contain the messages to be written (in
> my case, 724 499 Node are present). There are also 361629
> DefaultWriteRequests, 361628 DefaultWriteFutures, 361625 SimpleBuffer, 361
> 618 ProtocolCodecFilter$MessageWriteRequest and 361 614
> ProtocolCodecFilter$EncodedWriteRequests.
> That mean we don't flush them to the client at all.
