我们的Java servlet在Jetty下运行时遇到了一个非常棘手的问题.当负载低至中等时,它可以很好地工作,但是当负载达到一定水平时,它将在大约10-20分钟后停止响应请求.

如果我们在使用curl连接到它时跟踪主java进程,我们可以看到它设置连接,接收请求,解析它并执行它通常做的事情(查询Solr服务器,执行一些MySQL查询等),但是结果永远不会发送回客户端.

当它挂起时,它会无限期地挂起.没有多少时间会使它“突然出现”,但是如果我们杀死主java / jetty进程下的任何随机线程,则线程数会下降并且它会再次开始响应请求.

以下是它的外观：

# curl http://localhost:8080/some-servlet-url

(Does not respond at this point)

# ps -efL | grep qserv | wc -l
243
# ps -efL | grep qserv | wc -l
243
# ps -efL | grep qserv | wc -l
243

(Number of threads remain seemingly constant)

# kill 29760   <--- random thread under the main java/jetty process
# ps -efL | grep qserv | wc -l
26

(Number of threads immediately decreases sharply)

# curl http://localhost:8080/some-servlet-url
... HTTP response ...

(Responds to connections again)

该服务器是运行Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS和Jetty 8.1.7.v20120910的m2.2xlarge Amazon EC2实例

$java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.2) (7u7-2.3.2-1ubuntu0.12.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09,mixed mode)

我们尝试了几种不同的java和Jetty版本.我们也尝试过使用Tomcat而不是Jetty – 同样的问题.

使用YourKit分析应用程序显示没有明显的线程锁定或过多的cpu使用率.

有任何想法吗？

编辑：我们能够得到挂起的java进程的堆栈跟踪,看起来所有的http线程都处于这种状态：

我自己并不是一个真正的java人,所以我无法确切地看到这里有什么问题,但看起来他们似乎都在等待……
