Pavel Tupitsyn updated IGNITE-16462:
------------------------------------
Description: Implement heartbeats as described in [IEP-83 Thin Client
Keepalive|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/IEP-83+Thin+Client+Keepalive].
(was: *Why*
TCP connections can enter [half-open
state|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_half-open]: seems to be alive, but any
attempt to send data will fail. Long-living and mostly idle connections are
especially susceptible to this behavior.
Retry mechanism ([IEP-82 Thin Client Retry
Policy|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/IEP-82+Thin+Client+Retry+Policy])
in thin client implementations partially mitigates the issue. However, not all
operations are safe to retry, and reconnect affects performance.
To improve the connection stability and detect failures early we can add a
keep-alive mechanism.
*Why not TCP keepalive*
TCP has a [built-in keepalive
mechanism|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keepalive], but it has some
disadvantages:
* Optional (may be not present in some TCP stacks)
* May be not handled well by some routers (RFC 1122, section 4.2.3.6)
* Default timeout is too long (2 hours), and is problematic to adjust on SDK
versions that are in use in Ignite (Java 8, .NET Standard 2.0), or hard to do
right in some languages (Python, JS).
Because of that, some protocols implement keepalive logic on a higher level
(SMB, [TLS|https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6520]). More details:
https://blog.stephencleary.com/2009/05/detection-of-half-open-dropped.html
*How*
Add OP_HEARTBEAT to the protocol with an empty payload. Clients can send
heartbeats at a configurable interval and receive responses to ensure that
connection is active.)
