Hi Jason , I am late to the failover party and i am facing the same issue. Probably mine is a different use case where i am intentionally putting down one of the failover broker whether all the consumers and producers are getting switching to the active broker remaining in the failover. I am using Broker A and Broker B and sharing the common storage in which one of them is master and slave at the same time . so i am starting with the broker a as master which acquired db lock and slave is running but it is just like a back up mode. My test started with Broker A as master -- 2 threads running in local and hitting to the failover brokers and one thread is producer and the other one is consumer. using this failover string as you stated above.
failover:(tcp://10.172.6.46:61616,tcp://10.172.107.57:61616)?initialReconnectDelay=20&maxReconnectDelay=500&randomize=false&maxReconnectAttempts=2 Producer and consumer working fine in this case. To add fun to the test , I have made Broker A down and broker B became master and producer and consumer ended up with this connection reset 23:48:10.500 [ActiveMQ Transport: tcp:///10.172.107.57:61616] DEBUG o.a.a.transport.tcp.TcpTransport - Stopping transport tcp:///10.172.107.57:61616 23:48:10.502 [ActiveMQ Transport: tcp:///10.172.107.57:61616] WARN o.a.a.t.failover.FailoverTransport - Transport failed to tcp://10.172.107.57:61616 , attempting to automatically reconnect due to: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset 23:48:10.510 [ActiveMQ Transport: tcp:///10.172.107.57:61616] DEBUG o.a.a.t.failover.FailoverTransport - Transport failed with the following exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:209) ~[na:1.8.0_51] at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:141) ~[na:1.8.0_51] at org.apache.activemq.transport.tcp.TcpBufferedInputStream.fill(TcpBufferedInputStream.java:50) ~[activemq-all-5.1.0.jar:na] at org.apache.activemq.transport.tcp.TcpBufferedInputStream.read(TcpBufferedInputStream.java:58) ~[activemq-all-5.1.0.jar:na] at java.io.DataInputStream.readInt(DataInputStream.java:387) ~[na:1.8.0_51] Before using your failover string i have used normal one with the randomize flag , it was throwing up the inactivity monitor and never ever reconnecting to the new master broker. This happens only in consumer thread and producer gets ported successfully. I really appreciate your help on this ..I have to have clues atleast what is really going on this ..!! I am using activemq version of 5.11. and tried on 5.13 as well.
