Anil Gangolli commented on ROL-1761:
------------------------------------


Adding some comments extracted from my e-mail responses on the user list.  Corrected the spelling of Allen's name. 

I think the second comment is the root cause and the patch is basically to add the flush() in the registerLease and unregisterLease calls in the (somewhat oddly named) ThreadManager, which actually manages the TaskLock lease entities.  Hoping for verification from Allen before proceeding.  Watching this, but leaving unassigned.

- We should look for a missing commit there.   I think the connection pool does a rollback each time the connection is released back to the pool to safeguard against uncommitted work being committed by the next caller claiming the connection.  My guess is we're seeing that.

- Looking at RollerTaskWithLeasing.java it looks like what is happening is it is explicitly calling WebloggerFactory.getWeblogger().release() and this may be causing the connection release before the update gets committed.

- I am not seeing any flush() on the persistence strategy in this code path at all, which (assuming READ_COMMITTED transaction isolation) suggests that there may also not be proper exclusion across multiple threads/hosts.   A flush() would be needed on registering the lease as well as releasing the lease.   I think in this case the manager (ThreadManager) actually should be doing this.  Allen, if you're around can you verify ?

> We're finding that our tasks won't run more often than every leaseTime minutes. 
> After a bit more digging, we found our JPAThreadManagerImpl.unregisterLease() method is not updating the database,
> so any lease that is successfully taken out are kept , blocking that task from running, until they expire.
> In this case , the JPA-generated SQL looks ok, but the roller logs show what looks like a transaction rolling back:
