* Reposting from the dev list as advised * Dear All,
After going through the thread renewal code in /tomcat-8.0.x/java/org/apache/tomcat/util/threads/TaskQueue.java , /tomcat-8.0.x/java/org/apache/tomcat/util/threads/ThreadPoolExecutor.java and the bug (Improve ThreadLocal memory leak clean-up) https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49159 I had the following questions- 1. Once the thread pool has been renewed after No. of active threads in pool * max (threadKeepAliveTimeout, longestRequest+ threadRenewalDelay) seconds, why does the ThreadPoolExecutor still keep paying the price of thread renewal. ? After org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPoolExecutor.threadRenewalDelay is set to 1000L it never goes back to -1. Ideally once the all the threads in the threadpool is renewed we should revert the threadRenewalDelay back to -1 and NOT call ThreadPoolExecutor.currentThreadShouldBeStopped()/ThreadPoolExecutor.stopCurrentThreadIfNeeded() in TaskQueue.poll(long, TimeUnit) or TaskQueue.take(). Is this because we are never quite sure as to when *all* of the threads in the pool have been renewed ? 2. Does the thread renewal approach scale under load (i.e. all threads in the pool busy servicing requests and CPU close to 90%) ? Is it meant for production deployments ? 3. How about threads that are servicing long running HTTP Keep-alive connections that never let the thread return to the pool. Are these threads renewed before the server is stopped. --Thanks, Rohit Kelapure --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
