[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-13137) nodetool disablethrift deadlocks if THsHaDisruptorServer is stopped while a read is going on

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13137?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15830766#comment-15830766 ]

--------------------------------------------------

There's also this {{NullPointerException}} possible

But that happens within the {{invoke}} method's try/catch block which essentially just swallows it, but doesn't "kill" the current thread.

> We are using Thrift with {{rpc_server_type}} set to {{hsha}}. This creates a {{THsHaDisruptorServer}} which is a subclass of [{{TDisruptorServer}}|https://github.com/xedin/disruptor_thrift_server/blob/master/src/main/java/com/thinkaurelius/thrift/TDisruptorServer.java].
> Internally, this spawns {{number_of_cores}} number of selector threads. Each gets a {{RingBuffer}} and {{rpc_max_threads / cores}} number of worker threads (the {{RPC-Thread}} threads). As the server starts receiving requests, each selector thread adds events to its {{RingBuffer}} and the worker threads process them. 
> The _events_ are [{{Message}}|https://github.com/xedin/disruptor_thrift_server/blob/master/src/main/java/com/thinkaurelius/thrift/Message.java] instances, which have preallocated buffers for eventual IO.
> When the thrift server starts up, the corresponding {{ThriftServerThread}} joins on the selector threads, waiting for them to die. It then iterates through all the {{SelectorThread}} objects and calls their {{shutdown}} method which attempts to drain their corresponding {{RingBuffer}}. The [drain ({{drainAndHalt}})|https://github.com/LMAX-Exchange/disruptor/blob/master/src/main/java/com/lmax/disruptor/WorkerPool.java#L147] works by letting the worker pool "consumer" threads catch up to the "producer" index, ie. the selector thread.
> When we execute a {{nodetool disablethrift}}, it attempts to {{stop}} the {{THsHaDisruptorServer}}. That works by setting a {{stopped}} flag to {{true}}. When the selector threads see that, they break from their {{select()}} loop, and clean up their resources, ie. the {{Message}} objects they've created and their buffers. *However*, if one of those {{Message}} objects is currently being used by a worker pool thread to process a request, if it calls [this piece of code|https://github.com/xedin/disruptor_thrift_server/blob/master/src/main/java/com/thinkaurelius/thrift/Message.java#L317], you'll get the following {{NullPointerException}}

> That fails because it tries to dereference one of the {{Message}} "cleaned up", ie. {{null}}, buffers.
> Because that call is outside the {{try}} block, the exception escapes and basically kills the worker pool thread. This has the side effect of "discarding" one of the consumers of a selector's {{RingBuffer}}. 
> *That* has the side effect of preventing the {{ThriftServerThread}} from draining the {{RingBuffer}} (and dying) since the consumers never catch up to the stopped producer. And that finally has the effect of preventing the {{nodetool disablethrift}} from proceeding since it's trying to {{join}} the {{ThriftServerThread}}. Deadlock!
