I was away from Clojure for a year and I missed it. I am pleased to be back. But I've forgotten certain common errors. I feel like this is something I used to know but now I've lost the knowledge.
I'm using Factual's durable-queue to put a step inbetween the import of large JSON files, and their writes to the database. This works fine on my local MacBook Pro, but when I move to an EC2 instance, I'm instead getting time-outs when durable-queue tries to read from the queue. At start up the app creates a few of these workers, which run for as long as the app is running: (defn worker [from-topics-to-persistence-queue current-database-connection] (slingshot/try+ (loop [message (durable/take! from-topics-to-persistence-queue :message 60000 :timed-out!)] (slingshot/try+ (log-seq " the message in the work function " message) (when (= (type message) durable_queue.Task) (advance message current-database-connection)) (catch Object o (log-seq "error in worker function") (durable/retry! message) (log-seq o))) (recur (durable/take! from-topics-to-persistence-queue :message 60000 :timed-out!))) (catch Object o (error o) (slingshot/throw+ { :type worker :error o :from-topics-to-persistence-queue from-topics-to-persistence-queue :current-database-connection current-database-connection } )))) On the EC2 instance, I see in the output: Jan 16, 2019 6:43:23 PM humongorous-nlp.core invoke INFO: the message in the work function Jan 16, 2019 6:43:23 PM humongorous-nlp.core invoke INFO: Jan 16, 2019 6:43:23 PM humongorous-nlp.core invoke INFO: :timed-out! I'm using an environment var to set the path to the queue: PATH_TO_DURABLE_QUEUE_S3_TO_DATABASE=/tmp/s3_to_database_queue I feel like I ran into this problem 2 years ago, but I can't recall the solution. Is the problem specific to AWS? An important clue, I think, is that I'm not getting an error on the put!, only on the take!
