Description

In workbench, job logs are updated in real time via websockets. On our test installations with arvados-ws, that is no longer working. According to the arvados-ws logs, workbench is subscribing to the updates, so the problem appears to be somewhere in arvados-ws.

Lots of connections from arvados-ws to postgresql sitting in CLOSE_WAIT, which doesn't seem right:

I ran tcpdump on the active connection, and I could see the once-per-minute "ping" between arvados-ws and postgresql. But if I generate a log entry (e.g., by modifying my user record) there is no evidence of a "notify" event on the wire.

I think I have it: when we hit a connection problem, we stopped our own event loop but
  • didn't tell the pq library's listener to stop listening (which is why there was still 1 ping every minute on the wire), and
  • didn't exit the program (so clients could still connect to the webserver goroutine, and wait for events that will never come).

testing on 9tee4 now.

to test behavior after postgresql connection loss (as postgres superuser):
  • select * from pg_stat_activity;
  • select pg_terminate_backend(pid) from pg_stat_activity where pid=XXXXX;
