             Summary: Produce a Warning When Jetty Pool Size Is Too Low And Increase It
                 Key: AMBARI-14050
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-14050
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-server
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Jonathan Hurley
            Assignee: Jonathan Hurley
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.1.3


Ambari's default Jetty thread pool is configured at 25 threads. When deployed on a machine that has 48 "processors", Jetty's calculation for determining how many "Acceptor" and "Selector" threads to create never takes into account the core pool size. As a result, we get:

- 12 "Acceptor" threads (these answer binds to port 8080)
- 12 "Selector" threads (these pick available threads to answer bindings)
- 1 free thread (these are the threads available to do stuff with)

Notice that there's only 1 free thread. This means that Jetty effectively makes Ambari a single-threaded web application on larger systems!

The "fix" is to increase the thread count in the {{ambari.properties}}, however nobody knows to do this since no warning is produced.

I suggest:

- Log a warning on server startup if we detect that the core pool size is less than 3/4 of the available processors on the system.

- Automatically increase the core pool size to the min(100, double existing size) when the above is detected
