Bug #8931
Updated by Brett Smith about 8 years ago
EventClient and PollClient in the Python SDK should be catching exceptions in a couple of places that it currently does not, which results in the event thread crashing and thing that depend on it getting wedged: * The callback to user code, to avoid crashing the event handler thread ** When this happens, call @thread.interrupt_main()@ to raise an exception in the main thread, and force it to deal with the error. * When PollClient makes calls to the API server ** Use the same style of RetryLoop that one_task_per_input_file uses. It can retry infinitely, but take care that the backoff numbers make sense. * Test that PollClient retries API failures.
