[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (MODCLUSTER-536) List of open files grows steadily during load test through mod_cluster

[Jean-Frederic Clere (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-536?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13286487#comment-13286487 ] 

Jean-Frederic Clere commented on MODCLUSTER-536:
------------------------------------------------

mod_cluster persists the connection between httpd and wilfly to reuse them. Basically you need to make sure the user daemon has a ulimit -n big enough to deal with the number of connection. once the max file is reached httpd might not cover well :-(

Looking in httpd-mpm.conf (MaxRequestWorkers      400) basically you are going to have at least 800 files open, very neat to 1024 default limit.

Is wildfly runned in the same user?

> I was able to configure wildfly 10 modcluster to work with Apache mod_cluster (1.3.1). However, when I was doing a load test, I found out that the test through web server eventually caused error in wildfly instance and I also saw error log in Apache web server
> The obvious error in wildfly instance is the so-called "java.net.SocketException: Too many files open". When I used the command lsop -u   | grep TCP | wc -l, I can see the number grew steadily until the wildfly instance reported the error. This was when I sent requests through web server.
> However, when I sent the requests through wildfly instance (app server) directly, the number did not grow, and the app server can take a lot heavier load without this issue.
> The issue did not happen until many rounds of load tests were executed through web server. If I restart the web server, everything is working fine until I execute many rounds of load tests again
