Review request for qpid, Alan Conway and Kenneth Giusti.


Repository: qpid


Description
-------

Calling receiver.fetch(timeout=10) in a loop, when network drops packages for a 
while causes uncaught exception KeyError in python-qpid-0.22. It causes on 
semi-infinite recursion on python-qpid-0.30.

The recursion problem was solved independently.

The attached patch does two things:
1) session.close() checks to see if the session is already closed. If so, it 
just returns. This prevents an exception from being displayed when the session 
is already closed.
2) In driver.py, if we get a do_session_detached() event, check to see if the 
channel is in our list of sessions before using it. If it isn't, close the 
session.

Here is my estimation on what is happening when the network drops:
- The driver detects the socket error, closes the engine and goes into its 
retry loop.
- Once the network comes back, the engine is restarted and all the sessions on 
the connection are re-attached.
- However, the broker sees the attempt to attach using a channel that it thinks 
is already attached.
- The broker logs the following: 2015-05-21 14:51:35 [Broker] error Channel 
exception: session-busy: Session already attached: 
anonymous.5c6f079c-571e-46f8-8ce6-72997da200a3:0 
(/home/eallen/workspace/32/rh-qpid/qpid/cpp/src/qpid/broker/SessionManager.cpp:55)
2015-05-21 14:51:35 [Broker] error Channel exception: not-attached: Channel 0 
is not attached 
(/home/eallen/workspace/32/rh-qpid/qpid/cpp/src/qpid/amqp_0_10/SessionHandler.cpp:39)
- This results in a do_session_detached() event in the engine.
- However, since the engine was closed when the socket error occurred and 
reopened when it cleared, it doesn't know about the old session.

If I test to see if the channel number being detached is associated with a 
session, and just return, then the client is hung. So.. when I see an event to 
detach an unknown session, I'm closing the engine and raising a ConnectionError 
back to the client.

Ideally the driver/engine would recover, but I don't see how we can get the 
broker and client back into agreement.

Testing
-------

1. Run this script against a qpidd broker:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from qpid.messaging import *
import datetime

conn = Connection("localhost:5672", reconnect=10)
timeout=10

try:
  conn.open()
  sess = conn.session()

  recv = sess.receiver("testQueue;{create:always}")
  
  while (1):
    print "%s: before fetch, timeout=%s" %(datetime.datetime.now(), timeout)
    msg = Message()
    try:
      msg = recv.fetch(timeout=timeout)
    except ReceiverError, e:
      print e
    except ConnectError, e:
      print "ConnectError", str(e)
      break
    print "%s: after fetch, msg=%s"  (datetime.datetime.now(), msg)

  print "about to close session"
  sess.close()

except ReceiverError, e:
  print e
except KeyboardInterrupt:
  pass

print "about to close connection"
conn.close()

2. Simulate network outage:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 5672 -j REJECT; date

3. Once python script writes "No handlers could be found for logger 
"qpid.messaging"", flush iptables (iptables -F)

4. Wait up to 10 seconds

The ConnectError is received by the client and the loop can be exited.


Thanks,

Ernie Allen
