Die with dignity #19272

jasontedor · 2016-07-05T17:00:26Z

Today when a thread encounters a fatal unrecoverable error that
threatens the stability of the JVM, Elasticsearch marches on. This
includes out of memory errors, stack overflow errors and other errors
that leave the JVM in a questionable state. Instead, the Elasticsearch
JVM should die when these errors are encountered. This commit causes
this to be the case.

LGTM, I like it

tlrx · 2016-07-05T20:18:20Z

We might want to document the exit codes somewhere too

@tlrx I think that's a good idea, but I'm unsure of a good place to document it. Do you or @clintongormley have any ideas?

dadoonet · 2016-07-05T22:08:11Z

FYI we documented something similar for plugins: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/_other_command_line_parameters.html

clintongormley · 2016-07-06T12:16:59Z

@jasontedor not perfect, but perhaps a section under Setup?

This commit adds docs for the Elasticsearch shutdown process, distinguishing between a clean shutdown and an unclean halt due to fatal error.

docs/reference/setup/stopping.asciidoc

+If you're running Elasticsearch directly, you can stop Elasticsearch by sending control-C if you're
+running Elasticsearch in the console, or by sending `SIGTERM` to the Elasticsearch process on a
+POSIX system. You can obtain the PID to send the signal to via various tools (e.g., `ps` or `jps`)
+or by specifying a location to write a PID file to on startup (`-p <path>`).


When ran directly the pid is shown in the logs/stdout too.

Thanks @tlrx, I pushed 94ef28b.

Sorry, I should be more clear. I think we can rephrase like:

Elasticsearch indicates the PID in logs or standard ouput during startup:
[INFO ][node ] [Araña] version[2.3.3], pid[6674], build[218bdf1/2016-05-17T15:40:04Z]
You can also obtain...

or something like this

I pushed 4550140. Is that more like what you had in mind?

4550140 is good, thanks!

This commit adds a note to the Elasticsearch stopping docs that indicates that the Elasticsearch PID is also available from the Elasticsearch startup logs.

@tlrx @clintongormley I pushed docs in 74c1708; could you take a look?

tlrx · 2016-07-07T16:05:33Z

LGTM

clintongormley · 2016-07-08T15:41:39Z

Sorry I'm late to this. You can also get the PID from the node info API:

curl -XGET "http://192.168.1.10:9200/_nodes/process"

{
  "_nodes": {
    "total": 1,
    "successful": 1,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "cluster_name": "elasticsearch",
  "nodes": {
    "uOPHTfzUQUyGRuxdSUBniQ": {
      "name": "Karl Lykos",
      "transport_address": "127.0.0.1:9300",
      "host": "127.0.0.1",
      "ip": "127.0.0.1",
      "version": "5.0.0-alpha4",
      "build_hash": "3f5b994",
      "http_address": "127.0.0.1:9200",
      "roles": [
        "master",
        "data",
        "ingest"
      ],
      "process": {
        "refresh_interval_in_millis": 1000,
        "id": 26283,  ##### HERE #####
        "mlockall": false
      }
    }
  }
}

jasontedor · 2016-07-08T19:01:50Z

@clintongormley Yes, and the cat nodes API too. The concern I have there is that that will list all the nodes in the cluster when only the local node is needed and that leads to more effort on the end-user? I'm happy to add these though if you think otherwise. 😄
