  • Test Data in a Distributed System

    - by Davin Tryon
    A question that has been vexing me lately has been about how to effectively test (end-to-end) features in a distributed system. Particuarly, how to effectively manage (through time) test data for feature testing. The system in question is a typical SOA setup. The composition is done in JavaScript when call to several REST APIs. Each service is built as an independent block. Each service has some kind of persistent storage (SQL Server in most cases). The main issue at the moment is how to approach test data when testing end-to-end features. Functional end-to-end testing occurs through the UI, and it is therefore necessary for test data to be set up before the test run (this could be manual or automated testing). As is typical in a distributed system, identifiers from one service are used as a link in another service. So, some level of synchronization needs to be present in the data to effectively test. What is the best way to manage and set up this data after a successful deployment to a test environment? For example, is it better to manage this test data inside each service? Or package it together with the testing suite? Does that testing suite exist as a separate project? I'm interested in design guidance about how to store and manage this test data as the application features evolve.

  • svn post-commit not performing

    - by davin
    ive been sitting on this for about 7 hours, and ive aged close to 7 years... ahhh, server admin does that to me. i have svn wired through apache2 with webdav in the usual manner (basically like http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-subversion-with-webdav-post-commit-hook-and-multiple-sites-on-jaunty-jackalope-ubuntu-9.04). ive had endless problems with this (i didnt on my previous ubuntu server install, although this is ubuntu 10.10): this happened, and was fixed like in the post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2547400/how-do-you-fix-an-svn-409-conflict-error this looks like my issue, although its not my solution: http://serverfault.com/questions/135494/apache-svn-on-ubuntu-post-commit-hook-fails-silently-pre-commit-hook-permis my commit to svn works (finally). although the post-commit hook which is supposed to svn update the working copy of the repo on the server, doesn't work. the post-commit hook itself executes, and has sudo permissions (as in the setup url above. testing with whoami somelogfile.log or sudo whoami somelogfile.log shows www-data and root, respectively), although it wont perform the svn update (sudo svn update /var/www/gameServer /var/svn/gameServer.log). similar to the serverfault url above, when i perform the exact command it does update the working copy to the latest revision, just not through the post-commit hook. an age old question that is 90% of the time a permissions issue. but in pure frustration i chmod 777 lots of stuff not to mention the fact that www-data is in /etc/sudoer so it shouldnt even need that. im collapsing in front of the screen partly out of frustration and partly out of sleepiness. any direction would be appreciated.

  • Reconnect Attempts for CIFS share

    - by Davin
    I have a CIFS share mounted in the FSTAB on Ubuntu server, which connects to our SAN and works without issue. Last night we had an issue with the SAN for about 12 hours. We corrected the problem and the Windows boxes restored their mappings. The Ubuntu box did not, but we were able to restore with [mount -a]. I saw options to specify retries in man for NFS but not CIFS. Any ideas on ensuring a reconnect if the SAN goes down again?

  • Determining threshold for lock escalation

    - by Davin
    I have a table with around 2.5 millions records and will be updating around 700k of them and want to update these while still allowing other users to see the data. My update statement looks something like this: UPDATE A WITH (UPDLOCK,ROWLOCK) SET A.field = B.field FROM Table_1 A INNER JOIN Table2 B ON A.id = B.id WHERE A.field IS NULL AND B.field IS NOT NULL I was wondering if there was any way to work out at what point sql server will escalate a lock placed on an update statement (as I don't want the whole table to be locked)? I don't have permissions to run a server trace to see how the locks are being applied, so is there any other way of knowing at what point the lock will be escalated to cover the whole table? Thanks!

  • NSMutableArray memory leak when reloading objects

    - by Davin
    I am using Three20/TTThumbsviewcontroller to load photos. I am struggling since quite a some time now to fix memory leak in setting photosource. I am beginner in Object C & iOS memory management. Please have a look at following code and suggest any obvious mistakes or any errors in declaring and releasing variables. -- PhotoViewController.h @interface PhotoViewController : TTThumbsViewController <UIPopoverControllerDelegate,CategoryPickerDelegate,FilterPickerDelegate,UISearchBarDelegate>{ ...... NSMutableArray *_photoList; ...... @property(nonatomic,retain) NSMutableArray *photoList; -- PhotoViewController.m @implementation PhotoViewController .... @synthesize photoList; ..... - (void)LoadPhotoSource:(NSString *)query:(NSString *)title:(NSString* )stoneName{ NSLog(@"log- in loadPhotosource method"); if (photoList == nil) photoList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init ]; [photoList removeAllObjects]; @try { sqlite3 *db; NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; NSString* documentsPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0]; NSString *dbPath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent: @"DB.s3db"]; BOOL success = [fileMgr fileExistsAtPath:dbPath]; if(!success) { NSLog(@"Cannot locate database file '%@'.", dbPath); } if(!(sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &db) == SQLITE_OK)) { NSLog(@"An error has occured."); } NSString *_sql = query;//[NSString stringWithFormat:@"SELECT * FROM Products where CategoryId = %i",[categoryId integerValue]]; const char *sql = [_sql UTF8String]; sqlite3_stmt *sqlStatement; if(sqlite3_prepare(db, sql, -1, &sqlStatement, NULL) != SQLITE_OK) { NSLog(@"Problem with prepare statement"); } if ([stoneName length] != 0) { NSString *wildcardSearch = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%%",[stoneName stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]]; sqlite3_bind_text(sqlStatement, 1, [wildcardSearch UTF8String], -1, SQLITE_STATIC); } while (sqlite3_step(sqlStatement)==SQLITE_ROW) { NSString* urlSmallImage = @"Mahallati_NoImage.png"; NSString* urlThumbImage = @"Mahallati_NoImage.png"; NSString *designNo = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *) sqlite3_column_text(sqlStatement,2)]; designNo = [designNo stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]; NSString *desc = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *) sqlite3_column_text(sqlStatement,7)]; desc = [desc stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]; NSString *caption = designNo;//[designNo stringByAppendingString:desc]; caption = [caption stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]; NSString *smallFilePath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Small%@.JPG",designNo] ]; smallFilePath = [smallFilePath stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]; if ([fileMgr fileExistsAtPath:smallFilePath]){ urlSmallImage = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Small%@.JPG",designNo]; } NSString *thumbFilePath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Thumb%@.JPG",designNo] ]; thumbFilePath = [thumbFilePath stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]; if ([fileMgr fileExistsAtPath:thumbFilePath]){ urlThumbImage = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Thumb%@.JPG",designNo]; } NSNumber *photoProductId = [NSNumber numberWithInt:(int)sqlite3_column_int(sqlStatement, 0)]; NSNumber *photoPrice = [NSNumber numberWithInt:(int)sqlite3_column_int(sqlStatement, 6)]; char *productNo1 = sqlite3_column_text(sqlStatement, 3); NSString* productNo; if (productNo1 == NULL) productNo = nil; else productNo = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:productNo1]; Photo *jphoto = [[[Photo alloc] initWithCaption:caption urlLarge:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"documents://%@",urlSmallImage] urlSmall:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"documents://%@",urlSmallImage] urlThumb:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"documents://%@",urlThumbImage] size:CGSizeMake(123, 123) productId:photoProductId price:photoPrice description:desc designNo:designNo productNo:productNo ] autorelease]; [photoList addObject:jphoto]; [jphoto release]; } } @catch (NSException *exception) { NSLog(@"An exception occured: %@", [exception reason]); } self.photoSource = [[[MockPhotoSource alloc] initWithType:MockPhotoSourceNormal title:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@",title] photos: photoList photos2:nil] autorelease]; } Memory leaks happen when calling above LoadPhotosource method again with different query... I feel its something wrong in declaring NSMutableArray (photoList), but can't figure out how to fix memory leak. Any suggestion is really appreciated.
