Exception thrown from ExecutorStepExecution.PlaceHolderTask.getAffinityKey breaks Queue maintenance

XMLWordPrintable

    • workflow-api 2.35, Jenkins 2.181

      I have seen the following exception break Queue maintenance and make it impossible for new jobs to be scheduled:

      As best as I can tell, the root cause was that a channel reading a flow node's parent node XML file was interrupted, which threw an exception and left the flow graph corrupted. (I am not sure how or why the read was interrupted, but since the same thing would happen if the file was corrupted on disk it seems like a reasonable failure mode to handle.) Here is the stack trace for that issue:

      We should make changes over on the Pipeline side so that a deserialization failure after the program is already loaded is handled more gracefully, but I think we should also harden core against getAffinityKey that throw RuntimeException so that they do not break Queue maintenance entirely.

      On the Pipeline side, I'm not sure how best to handle this issue, since none of the call sites in the stack trace look like a great place to actually handle the error. Here are some ideas:

      1. Harden StandardGraphLookupView.bruteForceScanForEnclosingBlock to make it return null if there is an error deserializing a node or we come upon a node with no parents. Would work fine, but it doesn't really seem right for the error to be handled here, since other code would have to deal with the same corrupt FlowNode elsewhere.
      2. Add a try/catch inside of CpsFlowExecution.getNode and if an exception is caught, treat that as a fatal error for the execution and handle it like we would an error loading flow heads in CpsFlowExecution.onLoad. In this case the program is already loaded and potentially executing, so I'm not sure if there would be a clean way to shut it down from that method, and the method might be used in contexts where that is not the desired behavior.
      3. Eagerly load all flow nodes in CpsFlowExecution.onLoad. That would probably have bad performance implications (although maybe not as bad as I am imagining since that will happen with many graph traversals anyway), and since loaded nodes are cached with soft references, they could need to be loaded again from disk anyway in which case the same problem could occur.
