That would explain why it comes back after a while.

Have you allocated the VM a large amount of memory that might cause it to swap to disk? You should see IO spike and memory be very high. What is your VM -Xmx setting?

That looks like the whole JVM locks up. I have _no_ idea what might cause that!

Where are those threads blocked? Most will be blocked waiting for incoming web requests, i assume. Are there are threads blocked anywhere other than chilling in their WorkThread wait state?

Can you hit the direct connect port during this time?

Yes, many worker threads are normally blocked waiting for incoming requests (on a normal, undeaf instance), but normally you'll see at least one or more threads that are actually doing something, e.g.:

Ordinary worker thread waiting:

Now I'm completely baffled. I've switched memcached clients, and now I'm still getting temporarily deaf instances, but when I point jstack at one, it now says that ALL threads are "state = BLOCKED". After a couple of minutes the instance comes back.

Anyone have any ideas what could possibly be going on?

jstack for the win! Not sure how I forgot about that tool, but it was able to get me good info.

Chalk one up for jstack!




I switched to ActiveMQ, which is a billion times better than OpenJMS, but we're still having temporarily deaf instances. jstack reported that Every. Single. Thread. was "state = BLOCKED", except one:

So it looks like I'm off to download a different memcached client.
