SAMZA-1466: Flaky test: TestRocksDbKeyValueStore suite Test failures happen intermittently because: 1. RocksDB throws an exception if open is called on a store that's already open. 2. A new unit test was added in PR #327 that didn't close the store. 3. Other tests in this class use the same store directory (System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")) and run concurrently. Any test that runs after the one in 2 above fails. Even when we log the RocksDBException (fixed in pr #332), the actual exception message is malformed due to a bug in RocksDB: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/1688. This is fixed in the latest RocksDB version (verified with 5.8.0), so the messages should be more meaningful after an upgrade. Fixed stack trace will say something like: Caused by: org.rocksdb.RocksDBException: While lock file: /var/folders/1b/4nqqvf4s27sby0frjr0q5t_h0004hp/T/LOCK: No locks available at org.rocksdb.RocksDB.open(Native Method) at org.rocksdb.RocksDB.open(RocksDB.java:231) at org.apache.samza.storage.kv.RocksDbKeyValueStore$.openDB(RocksDbKeyValueStore.scala:70) You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/prateekm/samza store-test-fix Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/samza/pull/333.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #333 ---- commit 4f45a02110cf91d3a9afc08c607576e36254e14c Author: Prateek Maheshwari <pmahe...@linkedin.com> Date: 2017-10-19T06:41:54Z SAMZA-1466: Flaky test: TestRocksDbKeyValueStore suite ---- ---
