Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When syncing repositories, the sync experienced intermittent hanging. This caused the sync to hang indefinitely and never complete. As a result, intermittent problems with the grinder component occurred, which looped over a poll of the socket with no sent data. A problem with the remote server caused this issue. This fix sets Grinder to abort connections slower than 1000 bytes over 5 minutes. Repository syncing does not hang indefinitely now.

I have a second SE which completed syncing successfully.

I can make the first available if desired.

Comment 6 Brad Buckingham 2012-03-27 12:40:23 UTC
Hi Steve, Please do send me offline the details to access that first env.   We attempted to repro and were unable to.  Thanks!

Comment 9 John Matthews 2012-03-27 19:59:24 UTC
Investigating the hung sync we saw that 1 package was in the process of downloading for over a day.  Looking at the process we could see that the grinder process was on a loop polling a socket, yet the socket was not returning any data.

The root cause appears to be a problem on the remote server side.

A change has been made to grinder to avoid hanging indefinitely in situations like this.  If Grinder does not receive at least 1000 bytes over 5 minutes it will abort the connection.

@Mike - this bug has grinder component but its assigned to katello-list. Was confused about ownership, but I am putting this to ON_DEV at least. It's upstream, the only question is if to brew it. I am for, fix seems to be small.
