[jira] [Created] (IGNITE-10469) TcpCommunicationSpi does not break tcp connection after IdleConnectionTimeout seconds of inactivity

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

             Summary: TcpCommunicationSpi does not break tcp connection after IdleConnectionTimeout seconds of inactivity
                 Key: IGNITE-10469
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-10469
             Project: Ignite
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: cache
    Affects Versions: 2.6, 2.5
            Reporter: Igor Kamyshnikov
         Attachments: GridTcpCommunicationSpiIdleCommunicationTimeoutTest.java, ignite_idle_test.zip

TcpCommunicationSpi does not close TCP connections after they have been idle for more than configured in TcpCommunicationSpi#idleConnTimeout amount of time (default is 10 minutes).

There are environments where idle TCP connections become unusable: connections remain ESTABLISHED while actual data to be sent piles up in Send-Q (according to netstat). For this reason Ignite stack does not recognize a communication problem for a considerable amount of time (~ 10-15 minutes), and it does not begin its reconnection procedure (hearbeats use different tcp connections that are not idle and don't have this issue).

I've discovered though there is a logic in the Ignite code to detect and close idle connections. But due to a problem in the code it does not work reliably.

This is a test that _sometimes_ reproduces the problem.
[^ignite_idle_test.zip] - full test project
[^GridTcpCommunicationSpiIdleCommunicationTimeoutTest.java] - just test code

What's the problem in the Ignite code?

There are two loops in the Ignite code that have a chance to close idle connections:
1) org.apache.ignite.spi.communication.tcp.TcpCommunicationSpi.CommunicationWorker#processIdle - this one is executed each *IdleConnectionTimeout* milliseconds. (it can close idle connections but it typically turns out that it thinks that connection is not idle, thanks to the second loop).
2) org.apache.ignite.internal.util.nio.GridNioServer.AbstractNioClientWorker#bodyInternal -> org.apache.ignite.internal.util.nio.GridNioServer.AbstractNioClientWorker#checkIdle - this loop executes:
{noformat}
filterChain.onSessionIdleTimeout(ses); <-- does not actually close an idle connection
// Update timestamp to avoid multiple notifications within one timeout interval.
ses.resetSendScheduleTime(); <--- resets idle timer
ses.bytesReceived(0);
{noformat}

---
To wind up, may be the whole approach should be reviewed:
 - is it ok not to track message delivery time?
 - is it ok not to do heartbeating using the same connections as for get/put/... commands?
