I managed to configure the tomcat proxy behind my apache 2.2 worker threads not to crash anymore, but still it stutters, while I observe the following conditions on my high load, complex site:
When the users come in with 500-1500 request/second the apache process collects the incoming request within reading state "R", as viewed by "server-status". The bigger I make the apache thread configuration the heavier seems the impact on the tomcat behind mod_proxy (HTTP connector). So lets talk big: The apache process collects about 1000-5000 requests when the tomcat manages to start working, removing the requests from the queue. When it started working it is even able to reduce the pending requests to a few 5-20, which is nothing of course. But the users already come in again and start populating the queue of the apache reinventing the stuttering condition. Are there any hints how I can configure the tomcat/apache team to stop this condition ? May prefork or a smaller worker configuration help the tomcat to react (apache config) ? Are there possible tunings in web.xml, server.xml or other paramters that help me to react on requests faster ? May it help to drop the apache in front at all, giving the tomcat even more requests of course, since it has to answer to the static contents too ? Any hints will help.
