2010-01-28Manual failover for stomp queues.Brion Vibber
If an array of multiple servers is put in $config['queue']['stomp_server'], enqueues will pick a random server to send to (failing over automatically if any are down). Queue handling daemons connect all servers so they get events no matter where they were delivered. In case of disconnection, daemons should now handle it gracefully and attempt to reconnect every 60 seconds or so, automatically resubscribing to all queues once it's back up. Can put to 'native' failover for reads as well by disabling $config['stomp']['manual_failover'] = false; but this is untested and may explode in addition to requiring that your ActiveMQ cluster actually be set up to handle its own data distribution. Additionally, can choose which queues to mark as persistent by setting $config['stomp']['persistent'] to an array of queue names.

2010-01-26Control channel for queue daemons to request graceful shutdown, restart, or ↵Brion Vibber
update to listen to a newly added or reconfigured site. queuectl.php --update -s<site> queuectl.php --stop queuectl.php --restart Default control channel is /topic/statusnet-control. For external utilities to send a site update ping direct to the queue server, connect via Stomp and send a message formatted thus: update:<nickname> (Nickname here, *not* server hostname! The rest of the queues will be updated to use nicknames later.) Note that all currently-connected queue daemons will get these notifications, including both queuedaemon.php and xmppdaemon.php. (XMPP will ignore site update requests for sites that it's not handling.) Limitations: * only implemented for stomp queue manager so far * --update may not yet handle a changed server name properly * --restart won't reload PHP code files that were already loaded at startup. Still need to stop and restart the daemons from 'outside' when updating code base.
2010-01-22Fix for stuck queue messages: wrap processing in stomp transactions so our ↵Brion Vibber
lack of an ACK if PHP dies actually triggers redelivery. Previously, messages once delivered would just get stuck in the queue seemingly forever if they never got ACKed. Note this could lead to partial duplication, for instance if the OMB or Twitter queue handlers die after 1/2 of the outgoing sends. Recommendations: * catch exceptions more aggressively within queue handlers (so only PHP fatal errors are likely to kill in the middle) * for processing that involves sending to multiple clients, consider a second queue similar to the XMPP output, eg for OMB: - first queue gets delivery list and builds message data, enqueueing it for each target address - second queue can handle each individual outgoing message (and attempt redelivery etc separately) This would also protect better against a recurring error preventing delivery in the second part, and could spread out any slow sends over multiple threads.
2010-01-21XMPP queued output & initial retooling of DB queue manager to support ↵Brion Vibber
non-Notice objects. Queue handlers for XMPP individual & firehose output now send their XML stanzas to another output queue instead of connecting directly to the chat server. This lets us have as many general processing threads as we need, while all actual XMPP input and output go through a single daemon with a single connection open. This avoids problems with multiple connected resources: * multiple windows shown in some chat clients (psi, gajim, kopete) * extra load on server * incoming message delivery forwarding issues Database changes: * queue_item drops 'notice_id' in favor of a 'frame' blob. This is based on Craig Andrews' work branch to generalize queues to take any object, but conservatively leaving out the serialization for now. Table updater (preserves any existing queued items) in db/rc3to09.sql Code changes to watch out for: * Queue handlers should now define a handle() method instead of handle_notice() * QueueDaemon and XmppDaemon now share common i/o (IoMaster) and respawning thread management (RespawningDaemon) infrastructure. * The polling XmppConfirmManager has been dropped, as the message is queued directly when saving IM settings. * Enable $config['queue']['debug_memory'] to output current memory usage at each run through the event loop to watch for memory leaks To do: * Adapt XMPP i/o to component connection mode for multi-site support. * XMPP input can also be broken out to a queue, which would allow the actual notice save etc to be handled by general queue threads. * Make sure there are no problems with simply pushing serialized Notice objects to queues. * Find a way to improve interactive performance of the database-backed queue handler; polling is pretty painful to XMPP. * Possibly redo the way QueueHandlers are injected into a QueueManager. The grouping used to split out the XMPP output queue is a bit awkward.

2010-01-12Major refactoring of queue handlers to support running multiple sites in one ↵Brion Vibber
daemon. Key changes: * Initialization code moved from common.php to StatusNet class; can now switch configurations during runtime. * As a consequence, configuration files must now be idempotent... Be careful with constant, function or class definitions. * Control structure for daemons/QueueManager/QueueHandler has been refactored; the run loop is now managed by IoMaster run via scripts/queuedaemon.php IoManager subclasses are woken to handle socket input or polling, and may cover multiple sites. * Plugins can implement notice queue handlers more easily by registering a QueueHandler class; no more need to add a daemon. The new QueueDaemon runs from scripts/queuedaemon.php: * This replaces most of the old *handler.php scripts; they've been refactored to the bare handler classes. * Spawns multiple child processes to spread load; defaults to CPU count on Linux and Mac OS X systems, or override with --threads=N * When multithreaded, child processes are automatically respawned on failure. * Threads gracefully shut down and restart when passing a soft memory limit (defaults to 90% of memory_limit), limiting damage from memory leaks. * Support for UDP-based monitoring: http://www.gitorious.org/snqmon Rough control flow diagram: QueueDaemon -> IoMaster -> IoManager QueueManager [listen or poll] -> QueueHandler XmppManager [ping & keepalive] XmppConfirmManager [poll updates] Todo: * Respawning features not currently available running single-threaded. * When running single-site, configuration changes aren't picked up. * New sites or config changes affecting queue subscriptions are not yet handled without a daemon restart. * SNMP monitoring output to integrate with general tools (nagios, ganglia) * Convert XMPP confirmation message sends to use stomp queue instead of polling * Convert xmppdaemon.php to IoManager? * Convert Twitter status, friends import polling daemons to IoManager * Clean up some error reporting and failure modes * May need to adjust queue priorities for best perf in backlog/flood cases Detailed code history available in my daemon-work branch: http://www.gitorious.org/~brion/statusnet/brion-fixes/commits/daemon-work
