> Key: FLUME-1037
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1037
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v1.1.0
> Environment: [CentOS 6.2 64-bit]
> Reporter: Will McQueen
> Assignee: Mike Percy
> Fix For: v1.2.0
>
> Attachments: FLUME-1037-6.patch

>
> Steps:
> 1. Use a props file such as the following:
> \# a = agent
> \# r = source
> \# c = channel
> \# k = sink
> a1.sources = r1
> a1.channels = c1
> a1.sinks = k1
> \# ===SOURCES===
> a1.sources.r1.type = NETCAT
> a1.sources.r1.channels = c1
> a1.sources.r1.bind = localhost
> a1.sources.r1.port = 1473
> \# ===CHANNELS===
> a1.channels.c1.type = MEMORY
> \# ===SINKS===
> a1.sinks.k1.type = NULL
> a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1
> 2. Set the FLUME_CONF_DIR to point to your conf dir
> [will@localhost flume-1.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT]$ export
> FLUME_CONF_DIR=/home/will/git/apache/flume/flume-1.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT/conf
> 3. Create a flume-env.sh file
> [will@localhost flume-1.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT]$ cp
> conf/flume-env.sh.template conf/flume-env.sh
> 4. Adjust the memory size within flume-env.sh (this file will be
> automatically sourced when calling bin/flume-ng, but only if you've specified
> the FLUME_CONF_DIR env var)
> (here, I went to the extreme and I set the min and max heap to 1GB. I also
> specified a YourKit profiler agent)
> Sample contents of flume-env.sh:
> export JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m
> -agentpath:/home/will/tools/yjp-10.0.6/bin/linux-x86-64/libyjpagent.so=tracing,noj2ee"
> 5. Run the flume NG agent:
> bin/flume-ng node --conf conf --conf-file conf/a1.properties --name a1
> 6. Open-up 10 terminal windows (on the same host) to connect to the netcat
> server port. Sent continuous output in each terminal. I chose to use the
> command:
> yes | nc localhost 1473
> The "yes" unix cmd will continuously output 'y' char, followed by newline
> char. If you use YourKit and go into the Threads view, you'll see that after
> a while (possibly need to wait up to 10 mins) after a netcat handler thread
> has continuously been alternating between Runnable and Blocked states
> (blocking due to org.apache.klog4j.Category.log(..), but that's beside the
> point), the netcat handler thread enters a continuous wait state for exactly
> 1 minute, and then terminates (while its associated 'yes | nc localhost 1473'
> command is still running).
> I haven't done further analysis. My first thought was a thread safety issue.
> Note that there are no property file reconfigurations done during this test
> -- I leave the props file alone.
> I welcome your ideas/comments. I initially ran this test with the default
> -Xmx20m but it ran out of memory. For a future test I might lower the Xmx/Xms
> from 1GB to maybe 128MB.
