Panicking in Client call

[xrl]

I am sending requests to AWS Kinesis. Because of the small size of requests I have to generate many concurrent requests. I am using the futures stream::BufferUnordered to put a cap on concurrent requests. Now I have an issue where after ~30 seconds the tokio core panics and goes away. I'm creating on the order of 1000 concurrent requests.

Here is the backtrace:

You can reproduce the error by cloning down https://github.com/tureus/kinesis-hyper . You will need AWS credentials and a single test stream already created. The code will take it from there and start issuing many concurrent requests.

This issue was first brought up the rusoto project: rusoto/rusoto#914

[seanmonstar]

As noticed, the panic is in client/mod.rs, the call to start_send().unwrap(). It's wrong to assume that the sender can always send. This should probably be changed to not unwrap, but to realize that the pooled connected has died, and to try a new one.

[xrl]

Thanks! This fixed the issue for me. Things are rock solid from my initial testing.

[xrl]

@seanmonstar when can this be put out in a release?

[seanmonstar]

Should be published soon (today?). I'd like to get in some documentation fixes as well (separate from this issue).

[matthewkmayer]

Thank you for the exceptionally quick turnaround time on these fixes, @seanmonstar . 😄

[xrl]

@seanmonstar my tool appears more resilient now. I can run it at full speed without the reactor dying from a panic. I do see regular outputs of the new IO error you added:

Should I create a new ticket for this error?

[seanmonstar]

@xrl yea, definitely. Bummer. The connection pooling code in hyper hasn't seen much love, and is complicated and apparently fragile 😢.
