When are you getting server overload, what's happening to the server? When I've tried it, yes, the request is doing a lot of work and the network is working but the server itself was just a bit sluggish.

There isn't a way ATM and it is messy in HTTP (like timeouts).
But it would be a good thing to have.

HTTP requires the status code be sent first so if it is "200 OK" the contract is that the response will complete properly.


If you or somone wants to put in a contribution, that would be great.

Recorded as JENA-1412.

What is needed is handling in the same way as query timeouts. (The old JENA-228 tried by inserting a LIMIT but then you don't know if the query overran or not. What is needed is a QueryIterator to wrap the execution and throw QueryCancelledException , then check the handling of results. Does really need to be done the same as query timeout).

Hi Andy

Thanks, the timeout works fine, it’s just the number of rows returned that
I’d like to impose a hard limit on via a configuration file, if possible.

Cheers

Phil,

Anthing thing to try:

Adding "?timeout=1" to a query HTTP URL sets a 1 second timeout on the
query.

Be careful - it is different from context settings - it is in seconds,
not milliseconds, and does not provide "X,Y"

Hi Phil,

That all looks OK to me.

I tried your configuration with timeout of "1000,1000" and a query of:

PREFIX afn:     <http://jena.apache.org/ARQ/function#>

ASK{
      FILTER(afn:wait(1000))
      FILTER(afn:wait(1000))
      FILTER(afn:wait(1000))
      FILTER(afn:wait(1000))
      FILTER(afn:wait(1000))
}

and I got back a query timeout (using the latest code - I don't see any
changes in the codebase).

I tried the standalone server and as a war file.

Could you try the same please?

@Dave - thanks for the info about the two value timeout, I'll try that.

Phil -

Which version are you running?

Can you show the configuration file?

Hi there

I am running Fuseki2 within Tomcat and I'm looking for a way to
configure
Fuseki to limit the number of rows returned by a query. For
example, to
prevent a rogue query such as

SELECT * WHERE {?s ?v ?o}

from being executed to completion.

I've imposed a maximum timeout via

ja:context [ ja:cxtName "arq:queryTimeout" ;  ja:cxtValue "60000" ] ;

in config.ttl and also in the individual <dataset>.ttl files, but
this
does
not seem to prevent the above query from locking up the server.


Timeouts do generally work. There used to be problems with sort
queries
but those have been resolved and that's not a sort query.

Might be worth trying the two value version (time to first result and
time for whole query):

ja:context [ja:cxtName "arq:queryTimeout";  ja:cxtValue
"30000,60000" ];


I've looked through the documentation at


https://jena.apache.org/documentation/fuseki2/fuseki-configuration.html

https://jena.apache.org/documentation/serving_data/#fuseki-
configuration-file
https://github.com/apache/jena/tree/master/jena-fuseki2/examples

but I've not found the right config option.

Is this possible, or will I need to modify the source code to add a
LIMIT n
if this is not specified in the original query?


There's no built-in machinery to limit the number of rows so far as I
know. So if timeouts really don't work for you then indeed you would
need
to inject a LIMIT clause into the queries yourself.

Timeouts are generally better because some queries are really really
hard
but return few results whereas queries like the above stream
perfectly well
and should impose low load, they just go on for a long time.

In our case the endpoints we expose are typically APIs where we can
inject API-specific hard/soft row limits as part of the query
generation
phase. For full sparql endpoints then we rely on timeouts.
