Hi Hannes,

I am using apache dbcp2 connection Pool. I am running queries in a constant loop with 8 concurrent invocations. And each 8 threads are running 9 queries each again and again.

Java code is quite straight forward:-

private ConnectionPoolPG() { try { final Properties properties = new Properties();

properties.load(ConnectionPoolPG.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStre am("monetDB.properties")); dataSource = BasicDataSourceFactory.createDataSource(properties); schemaName = properties.getProperty("schemaname"); } catch (Exception e) { throw new ExposureStoreException("Unable to instantiate connection pool: " + e.getMessage(), EAPAException.ERR_STORE_CONNECTION_CONFIG_ERROR); } }

public void AllQueryPerformance() throws Exception { while (true) { if (queries != null) { for (String query : queries) { try (Connection connection = ConnectionPoolPG.getInstance().getConnection()) { try (Statement statement = connection.createStatement()) { statement.execute(query); } } } } } }

Hey Jennie,

I did upgrade to latest version but I am facing the same issue. Further debugging into the issue it seems like it is ConnectionPool issue. When I use new connection for each query MonetDB seems to be able to clean up the resources

Ok, MonetDB is doing what it¹s supposed to do.

...

but if I use ConnectionPool for some reason DiskSpace keep filling up.

If a connection is kept open, I¹d expect MonetDB to be less eager to clean up resources. However, we generally recommend using a ConnectionPool, to avoid too much overhead caused by making a new connection for every query. So my suggestion for now would be to keep using the ConnectionPool, but try to find the reason why your disk is filled up.

...

Do you have any idea why that could happen?

Hmmm, no. We¹ve fixed quite some leaks in Jul2015... Some more thinking: - After how many iterations of repeatedly executing the queries is your disk filled up? - Can you please try to run your queries with mclient to observe the behaviour of MonetDB (and disk usage)?

@Hannes: sorry to disturb you during holiday. But if possible, would you please have a look at this thread. Does anything ring a bell? Thanks!

I tested this with ac3p0 connection pool (limited to 4 concurrent connections) and repeating queries from 10 threads (SELECT MIN(something) FROM Š). I was not able to observe any (!) increase in storage footprint. So without a minimal reproducible example of Java code + DB schema + sample data, it is hard to tell what is going on. Is this running in auto commit? Using temporary tables?

Small follow-up: When forcing the allocation of a large intermediate (SELECT MIN(something+1) FROM Š), additional storage space is indeed claimed. The attached plot shows dbfarm size over time while 10 threads are running 1000 queries each using a 5-connection pool. You can see how the amount of additional storage drops back to exactly where it was once the pool shuts down at around 350s, and that there is no accumulation of additional storage over the course of the pool being active.
