I think it would be great for WebKit to detect wedged threads, increase the size of the thread pool, and try to log what was happening when the thread got wedged. At the very least it ought to be possible to log which servlet was running. Also optionally send an email to the administrator whenever this happens. It would also be nice for the thread pool information to be available through an Admin page and also perhaps through an XML-RPC interface. > >> Python 2.2 >> Webware 0.8 >> RedHat Linux 7.3 >> A couple C extensions: DCOracle2 and pymqi (interface to >> IBM's MQSeries) > > I would expect that these C extensions would be the source of the > problem.

Multiple processes are definitely more resilient, but unfortunately much less efficient, especially when it comes to caching SQL query results in memory, session storage, etc. It's the caching stuff in memory part that I'd really hate to give up, or rather, I'd hate to have to cache 10 copies of something in memory if I had 10 processes, when right now just 1 copy is all I need. Maybe a hybrid strategy could be used -- a small pool of processes (say, 2 or 3) each of which has a pool of threads. The adapter would use session affinity to direct all requests for a given session to the same process, so we still have all the benefits of storing sessions in memory. On some schedule the adapter could "expire" a process by no longer directing requests without session parameters to a given process, and once all active sessions handled by that process have expired, it would kill that process and start up a new one to take its place. - Geoff ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Dice.com.
