Description

Running tests/integration/test_distributed_processing/test_multithreaded_vs_singlethreaded fails on my laptop because celery/RabbitMQ is running very slowly. There seems to be some hang up when the celery head node communicates with subprocesses that causes significant slowdown. In particular, I've found that the birth cycle gets hung up in communication between mauscelery.mausworker.sub_process_broadcast and mauscelery.mausprocess.process_birth but it looks like individual spill processing is also proceeding slowly.

I checked for this in control room branch in MLCR and things look okay - so it could be a feature of my laptop or the release branch.

I checked this in MLCR release branch (0.5.1) and also see the same problem. So it is a difference between release build and control room build. Either

  1. the code is different
  2. the third party libraries versions have changed causing a problem

Reading a diff of the code, it looks like there are no significant changes in the source code that could cause a massive slowdown.

Library versions:-

Control room branch

  • celery-2.5.5
  • pymongo 2.3
  • kombu 2.1.8

Release branch

  • celery 3.0.15
  • pymongo 2.4.2
  • kombu 2.5.6
  • amqp 1.0.8
  • billiard 2.7.3.21

Reverting the libraries to the old version appears to have fixed things. How irritating.
