Zookeeper connections are taken up by service monitor

avatar
Explorer

hello:

 

My CM version is 5.12.0.

There 3 zookeeper server instance on machine 10.0.0.8/13/14. The SERVICE MONITOR lies on 10.0.0.8.

1. A Canary error occurs on CM dashboard of zookeeper ; -- sovled by changing the zookeeper max connections to 1000;

2. The Canary error occurs again after a while;  then I find the SERVICE MONITOR take up all the 1000 zookeeper connections. 

3. I disabled the Zookeeper Canary test, it will not show the error on CM dashboard.

4. When I run HBase shell on 10.0.0.8, it report an error:

[root@inspire-dev-3 bin]# hbase shell
17/09/23 08:03:41 INFO Configuration.deprecation: hadoop.native.lib is deprecated. Instead, use io.native.lib.available

5. I checked the zookeeper connections by  "echo cons | nc 127.0.0.1 2181", it shows 1008 connections. 

6. I checked who establised the connections to 2181 by "netstat -npt | grep 2181", it shows the SERVICE MONITOR process have all the connections.

7. I restart the service monitor server, and the hbase shell becomes good.

 

This post says that it's a bug of SERVICE MONITOR, and has been fixed in 5.3.0, but my version is 5.12.0, and it seems the bug still exists.

 

So, what should I do now? I must restart SERVICE MONITOR from time to time.

Does my description unclear? 

Can you give me some help? @mbigelow @csguna @saranvisa

I have never seen such and issues with ZK and SM. What do you have set for the SM timeout values in ZK. I may have not seen this as I have these set. This alone should prevent SM from consuming all of the connections to ZK.

ZooKeeper Canary Connection Timeout
ZooKeeper Canary Session Timeout
ZooKeeper Canary Operation Timeout

Thanks for reply. Let me check.

My settings:

ZooKeeper Canary Connection Timeout  : 10 seconds
ZooKeeper Canary Session Timeout       : 30 seconds
ZooKeeper Canary Operation Timeout    : 30 seconds
 
How many should I set to?

Now it's not the Canary problem, because I have closed the Canary test.  But the Zookeeper connections still be used up by SM.

Those are the defaults and should be good.

Hmm, the Service Monitor is what is running the canary test and the likely source of the connections.

We need to figure out what SM is doing. Either go through the ZK logs to determine what node it is accessing. This may require you to increase the logging level.

I want to make sure that I got this right. The Canary test is disabled, since being disabled you have restarted the Service Monitor, and since restarting the connections from SM to ZK have climbed until hitting the maximum of 1000. Do I have that right?

OK, increase it to DEBUG level? Now it is WARN level, and the log shows as:

2017-09-25 05:52:44,823 WARN org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxnFactory: Too many connections from /10.0.0.8 - max is 1000
2017-09-25 05:53:02,317 WARN org.apache.zookeeper.server.NIOServerCnxnFactory: Too many connections from /10.0.0.8 - max is 1000

Yes, correct. I have restart it several times.

Looking for something that shows which znode it is accessing as that will give us a clue as to what it is doing. I would try INFO before DEBUG but you may have to go to that level. Also, try the SM logs since it is the client and may have the info there.

As an example the below line shows that the HBase client was trying to access the znode /hbase/hbaseid
This is what I am thinking should be in the logs to help us figure this out.

org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$ConnectionLossException: KeeperErrorCode = ConnectionLoss for /hbase/hbaseid

Is it doing PING to zookeeper?
