How reproducible is this, I've ran this a few times on both localhost and a remote Redis Server in a different continent and all times runs without issue:
LogManager.LogFactory = new ConsoleLogFactory();
var redisManagerPool = new RedisManagerPool("redis://web-templates.io?db=7");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
try
{
using var client = redisManagerPool.GetClient();
string value = client.GetValue("status");
Console.WriteLine($"Successfully retrieved value => '{value}'");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Exception handled \n{ex}");
}
Console.WriteLine("Sleeping for 25 seconds to allow client to be garbage collected");
Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(25));
}
Output:

Can you reproduce this when connecting to web-templates.io
as above? if not can you provide a reproducible example I can run that repros the issue against the remote web-templates.io
instance.
The RedisException: Exceeded timeout of 00:00:10
exception suggests it failed to try to establish a TCP connection to your Redis host within the specified RedisConfig.DefaultRetryTimeout
of 10,000ms but this StackTrace came from an async call, i.e. not from the sample code above.
It reproduces every single time for me against our (internal) redis host. The only thing I can think is different is the redis host version.
I don't see any documentation on host/client version compatibility, but, like I mentioned, we're running a relatively old version (4.0.10).
The original exception comes from code that is identical to the first sample I provided (which is also async and doesn't have the problem I'm describing).
We wont be able to investigate further without a reproducible issue we can run locally to repro the issue so that it's isolated from any local environment or network issues, which we'd need to be able to identify and resolve any issue.
IMO it's unlikely, but If you think it's related to redis version, try to see if you can repro the issue with a newer redis-server running in your same environment.
I think you're right that it's not specific to the redis version. As it turns out, I think this is actually related something with the way that our host and the client are handling connections.
For our host, idle connections disappear from CLIENT LIST
after about 20 seconds, but I haven't seen this naturally occur with your host. I tried killing a host manually using CLIENT KILL ID <id number>
, but that doesn't reproduce it on your host.
After the 20 second window on your host, I see that the connection associated with the get
command is still open
web-templates.io:6379> client list
id=13 addr=73.202.100.102:54599 fd=7 name= age=222 idle=222 flags=N db=7 sub=0 psub=0 multi=-1 qbuf=0 qbuf-free=0 obl=0 oll=0 omem=0 events=r cmd=get

But on ours, I don't.
I'm not a redis expert, so I'm not even sure what else to look at. Here's output of the INFO command in case that means anything to you.

While I appreciate your need for a repro, this is obviously happening in our environment or I wouldn't have filed an issue. Like I said, I'm not a redis expert so I don't even know where to look to give you differences in our environment. You are a redis expert, so, are there any other steps that I can take to give you information that you need?
OK, I think I may have found the problem. Our redis configuration specifies a timeout
property of 20
. Yours specifies a timeout
property of 0. I can only assume this is for security reasons (while I didn't configure this host of ours, a neverending client timeout just seems bad).

I set the config to 20 on your host and it produces new debug logging, but no exception.

I don't have another host in my environment that runs v5.x of the redis host, but I'm willing to wager this is a nuance with the way that client connections are managed by the host.
web-templates.io redis-server just uses the default configuration, which I've only modified to allow connections to remote hosts. If the defaults are going to be changed to be more restrictive then you're also going to experience consequences of having restricted them as 20 seconds for idle connections is very low for idle connections where it gets close to defeating the purpose of using a connection pool if all idle connections are going to be indiscriminately killed soon after by the server.
Whenever defaults are changed you need to also propagate the necessary changes to any of its client libraries e.g. RedisConfig.DefaultIdleTimeOutSecs
(default 240s) should always be set to a value lower than the redis server timeout.
Note: We only have control over and are able to support issues with our C# libraries and why we need repro's demonstrating the issue with the client library and not the environment it's used in, e.g. the .RedisException: Exceeded timeout of 00:00:10
happens when the Redis client is unable to establish a TCP connection with the Redis Server, it can't do anything else at that point except keep auto retrying which it does up to RedisConfig.DefaultRetryTimeout
(default 10s) or throw the Redis Timeout Exception seen in the stacktrace when it's exceeded.
Yeah, I understand the need for a repro, but I did give you one that repro'd for me CONSISTENTLY. There are ALWAYS going to be different environments that YOUR client are going to be used within, so I think you could both document the fact that host changes need to be propagated to clients AND be a little more supportive of people who are experiencing issues. Keep in mind that not everyone has default configurations and not everyone has the capability to modify redis configuration. We have many legacy systems that are risky to change for a variety of reasons.
There are also plenty of GOOD reasons to set a low timeout. According to the redis documentation, "there are two conditions when it makes sense to set a timeout:
We pay you money every year to use your "premium" library and to be frank, the interaction I had with you over the past few days left a really bad taste in my mouth. At one point, I even considered switching to a different library.
I realize you probably get thousands of issues per day, but you also need to realize that we are real developers dealing with real production issues using YOUR client EVERY day.
Sure set a timeout, but if it's more restrictive you'd need to check how it will affect client libraries using it, especially if you're using connection pooling which becomes less useful the lower the timeout where eventually you'll be better off not using any connection pooling by switching to use BasicRedisClientManager.
We've always required needing to have some way to be able to repro any issues, it's essentially our only requirement as trying to resolve issues you can't reproduce in isolation in environments you don't have access to is an exercise in futility that's infeasible when the turnaround time to blindly predict & creating custom library builds to test is measured in hours/days. I don't mind that your repro didn't repro the issue outside your environment, but I do need a repro I can repro in order to investigate further which is why I made our redis-server remotely available for you to have a default redis-server to test against.
Having some way to repro issues will always be a requirement, if that's unsatisfactory then I would also recommend switching to a different library or support contract with the level of support you want.
Hi there - in an attempt to debug a strange issue we're observing with the redis client, I switched over from using a programatic
SelectAsync
to select the database to specifying the database on the connection URI.ServiceStack.Redis version (from NuGet.org) - 5.13.2 Redis host version - 4.0.10
Here are the two abbreviated examples. The first, works as I'd expect it to, correctly connecting to the host and retrieving an empty value.
And here's the output
The second, works the first time, logs an exception on the 2nd time through the loop, works on the 3rd iteration, logs another exception on the 4th iteration, and works on the 5th iteration.
And here's the output
I'd expect both of these samples to work exactly the same, but I've come to learn that this isn't the case.
In case you're curious about the original exception I'm seeing, here's an abbreviated stack trace. It's not quite clear what that means and it only happens infrequently. Yes, I've validated that all of the places where we use an IRedisClientAsync are correctly disposed, and that this particular call only fails sometimes.
We were considering turning up the number of connections allowed in the pool but I can't tell if that's going to help the problem or not.
