task strategies for handling HardDeadlineExceededError
I've got a number of tasks/servlets that are hitting the HardDeadlineExceededError which is leaving everything hanging in an 'still executing' state.
The work being done can easily exceed the 29 second threshold.
I try to catch the DeadlineExceededException and base Exception in order to save the exit state but neither of these exception handlers are being caught...
Is there a way to determine which tasks are in the queue or currently executing?
Are there any other strategies for dealing with this situation?
The situation I'm dealing with is documented under "The Request Timer" heading.
// task handler for retrieving information from external web services
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
String taskRetryCountParam = req.getParameter( "X-AppEngine-TaskRetryCount" );
int taskRetryCount = (taskRetryCountParam==null) ? 0 : Integer.parseInt(taskRetryCountParam);
// look up the persistent 'task' and mark it as 'running'
logger.info( this.getClass().getName() + ".doPost( "+ taskId + " ) retryCount=" + taskRestryCount );
// Do lots of heavy lifting here
// like calling external web services using URL fetch service
// and saving the contents into our database.
// look up the persistent 'task' and mark it as 'completed'
} catch ( DeadlineExceededException deadline ) {
// got this deadline exception
// look up the persistent 'task' and mark it as 'errored - try again'
logger.warning( "DeadlineExceeded Exception while loading content " + deadline.getMessage() );
resp.setStatus( HttpServletResponse.SC_REQUEST_TIMEOUT );
}
} catch ( Exception unknown ) {
// got some unknown exception
// look up the persistent 'task' and mark it as 'errored - cancelled'
logger.severe( "General Exception while loading content exception:" + unknown.getMessage() );
resp.setStatus( HttpServletResponse.SC_OK );
}
}
Here is the log file entries when I get into this situation... It appears that my database transactions are taking too long when it comes time to .

A serious problem was encountered with the process that handled this request, causing it to exit. This is likely to cause a new process to be used for the next request to your application. If you see this message frequently, you may be throwing exceptions during the initialization of your application. (Error code 104)

HDEEs can be thrown without a DEE if it happens in your own code.
Usually the most time consuming thing is waiting for API calls to
return so a timeout here will result in the API call stopping with a
DEE. So if you do not call the API often you can hit HDEE directly.
I also have long running tasks that iterate through data processing
and storing results. I use an Iterator that stops returning results
after 20 seconds and saves the last object processed and then kicks
off a new task to continue processing.
My original solution caught the DEE and then cleaned up but this
stopped working reliably.
