Changing Concurrent tasks from 1 to 3 to back to 1 resulted in craziness

As title says I went from 1 task to 3 concurrent tasks then back to 1 and the job went insane. Still 7.1 though.

Woah! Cool! (from a troubleshooting perspective)

Since I bet the job isn’t around anymore, are you abel to reproduce? How can I make my job explode the same way?

What version are you on? I’m sure you’ve mentioned before, but it’ll save me a search.

Latest stable build 7.1.2.1 I believe.

Unfortunately this job is under nda so no job details can go out.

Happening again on 8.0.7.3 Release. Just changing to 3 concurrent tasks filled every pending task.

Gave this a try today. No luck yet.

Made a job where my machine just pings localhost 3600 times (runs for about an hour). Tried originally with a single Slave to see what effects it might have, everything worked swell.

Changed two things, now at three Slaves, and marked the job as interruptible so the Slaves will keep scanning for job changes while they’re rendering. That seems the best avenue to break this stuff since it’s not on by default on jobs and the Slaves should now detect the change while they’re rendering something.

Waiting on this to cook, but can you take a dump of your DB, zip it up, and send it over? You can just use mongodump --port=27080 in the db folder and it’ll create a convenient folder of all your database goods. Just e-mail it directly to me and I’ll make a tracking ticket internally so we can have all the data around. I’m really only interested in the job’s internal state, and I don’t know if archiving it will patch and problems it finds with the data.

Do I need to do a dump while it’s going crazy or can I do it now?

While crazy is highly preferred. Plus some bookmark help like the job id of the one that’s gone mad.

Also, thusly far I’ve got nothing on my test job. It’s been happily “rendering” since yesterday, and I’ve swapped the concurrent tasks a few times now.

Also, anything interesting in the job history for that last one that had problems? I’m expecting something in the Slave’s Scheduler thread has run aground as is freaking out as the Slave only has 16 render threads to work with.

I’ve got a complicated limit scheme. That’s the only thing strange I can think of. That and UBL.

Nuke_r
White: Rendernodes1,2,3,4
Exclude: Workstations 1,2,3,4

Nuke_i
White: Workstations 1,2,3,4
Exclude: Rendernodes1,2,3,4

Ok, I had to switch it back and forth a whole bunch of times… then I had one task that was just switching assignees like every 5 seconds without an error. Then it went insane.

I private messaged you a link to the database dump.

Okay. I’ve got it now and imported it into our tooling here in support for diagnosing this stuff. I"ll open up a tracking issue now for the dev team and will take a look when I can.

Oh! Also, can you send along the Slave log for the machine(s) that were causing trouble? As I said, I’m pretty sure the issue is in the scheduler thread, so hopefully there is something there.

Hey Gavin,

How many cores do your node machines have? How many slaves are running on each physical machine?

Physical cores: between 4 and 20. Mostly 4-6. VM-## 1-5 is (4) cores. i7-## 05-10 is (4) cores. VM-## 11-15 are (6) cores. VM-X## are 20 cores.

Always one slave per machine.

The relevant bits seem to be in here and I’ll email you the full log:
