mongodb-ruby-driver causes a variable/higher number of connections with performance impact

    • Type: Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Done
    • Priority: Icon: Critical - P2 Critical - P2
    • 1.5.0
    • Affects Version/s: 1.4.0, 1.4.1
    • Component/s: None
    • None
    • Environment:
      MongoHQ, semi-dedicated environment, 2 replicas and an arbiter (orchid)
      Ruby 1.9.2, mongo/bson/bson_ext 1.4.1, Mongoid 2.0.2
    • Major Change

      The short story is that upgrading to 1.4.0 and then 1.4.1 made our production environment (almost) toast.

      • new-relic.png: shows the query performance right after deployment w/ 1.4.0 and then 1.4.1 until the problem went away, downgrade to 1.3.1
      • mongohq-conncount.png: shows the number of connections from the rails app to mongo varying significantly up to 77, downgrading to 1.3.1 put it back in a stable number of 11
      • mongostat.png shows nothing unusual while queries timeout from ruby

      a random sampler

      30.times { puts Benchmark.realtime

      { Mongoid.master.connection.active? }

      ; sleep(1) }) which executes db.runCommand(

      { ping: 1 }

      ).

      • at the same time we're experiencing timeouts between replicas, but with 1.3.1 it doesn't affect performance, mongodb log
