I'm looking for advice about how to debug this. I wrote a small web app. It has about 1,200 lines of code. It is fairly standard for a Clojure app, it uses Jetty, and Compojure. It uses MongoDB.
I'm just working on my MacBook Pro right now, so there is no issue such as using Nginx or load balancers. I can start the app up, and reach it on port 8082, and see all of the pages. However, this app does have a scheduled task that runs every 15 minutes and which is fairly demanding. It imports a large number of JSON files from an S3 bucket and stores them in MongoDB. This all works fine, but during the import, the app is no longer responsive on port 8082. The browser gets nothing back. My first thought was "I'm stupid because I've blocked the main thread, I've got too much going on." But then I thought "Wait, Jetty does not run on the main thread, so it shouldn't be effected by whatever I'm doing on the main thread." So now I'm thinking, I'm doing some database work on the main thread, and this keeps the Ring handlers from looking up information from the database, so there is perhaps some kind of timeout issue? Like, the handler tries to reach MongoDB, finds it unresponsive, and gives up after a certain amount of time? Or too many functions are sharing a single connection to MongoDB, so that is the problem. I'm testing, in part, by moving all of the database calls to background threads, and giving each separate connections to MongoDB, but I'm also looking for advice about other problems I should look for. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
