2009-03-18unicorn v0.2.1, fix the Manifest v0.2.1
2009-03-18unicorn 0.2.0 v0.2.0
2009-03-18Add signal queueing for test reliability
Although I didn't like the idea initially, signal queueing allows test_exec to run more reliably and the limited signal queue size will prevent scary queued signal behavior. Also, always wakeup the master immediately when CHLD is trapped to reduce the performance impact of SIGHUP-based config reloading. Combined with an extra check in test_exec, this should make test_exec run much more reliably than before.
2009-03-18gracefully die if working dir is invalid at fork
In nearly every app, if the current working directory disappears, the app becomes broken, sometimes subtly. It can be especially broken when preload_app is false (the default). So just shut ourselves down to spare ourselves the wasted CPU cycles on a dead app. As a (hopefully) pleasant side effect, this allows configurations with preload_app==false (the default) to do application code reloads via SIGHUP (in addition to unicorn config reloads).
2009-03-17Allow binding to UNIX sockets relative to "~"
This is to be consistent with the existing "pid" and std{err,out}_path options which also take paths relative to "~"
2009-03-10HttpRequest: update comment regarding short writes v0.1.0
Or lack thereof on POSIX.
2009-03-10HttpRequest: set binmode on tempfiles
Just in case this stupid Ruby 1.9-ism creeps up on someone; I haven't been able to reproduce I/O corruption from the test cases, but better safe than sorry here.
2009-03-09Configurator: document reasons for lowering backlog
2009-03-09Unicorn::Configurator: documentation
2009-03-04Add before_exec hook
This is useful for freeing certain resources you do NOT want passed to child processes.
2009-03-04Remove "directory" config option
Unicorn will always continue to run in the directory it started in, it does not chdir to "/". Since the default start_ctx[:cwd] is symlink-aware, this should not be a problem for Capistrano-deployed applications.
2009-03-04Ensure reopened std{out,err}_paths can be rotated
The $stderr/$stdout objects need to point to +File+ objects and mot just +IO+ objects they default to for reopen_logs to work.
2009-03-03configurator: update the per-worker listen example
The config file format changed from add_listener => listen.
2009-03-03Raise ArgumentError if listeners are empty
Instead of blindly trying to bind to the default listener (which is already the default as specified by Configurator).
2009-03-03Add configurator test
2009-03-03fix typo (DEFAULT_LISTENER => DEFAULT_LISTEN)
2009-03-03Allow stderr_path and stdout_path to be set in the config
As opposed to doing this in the shell, this allows the files to be reopened reliably after rotation. While we're at it, use $stderr/$stdout instead of STDERR/STDOUT since they seem to be more favored.
2009-03-03Load the app _after_ forking workers by default
This means processes will share less memory but things should be compatible with all existing setups.
2009-03-03Handle Errno::EINTR during IO.select in workers
If we get woken up during an IO.select, just make a bet that we spent some time doing something else and aggressively try to accept new connections without trying to wait for I/O-readiness notification.
2009-03-03Make USR1 rotate log files by default
I consider it a sensible default for long-running servers. Additionally, there is no easy way to make USR1 rotate the master process log without this.
2009-03-03Add Unicorn::Util for a reopen_logs method
Since I use it myself and also in the tests, we might as well implement it correctly as a class method so people can run it in their trap('USR2') hooks.
2009-03-03symlink-aware start_ctx[:cwd]
Using `/bin/sh -c pwd` here instead of Dir.pwd since the pwd shell builtin is symlink-aware if ENV['PWD'] is correct (and it is when launched via Cap). Also, correctly use @directory if it is set.
2009-03-03Unlink the pid file explicitly when master exits
Relying on at_exit can still means a child might get it if there's any race condition....
2009-03-03Begin to allow deferred app creation/loading
Some applications do not handle loading before forking out-of-the-box very gracefully, this starts adding support to build the Rack(-ish) application later in the process.
2009-02-25rename http11 => unicorn/http11
Avoid conflicting with existing (and future) Mongrel installs in case either changes. Of course, this also allows us more freedom to experiment and break the API if needed... However, I'm only planning on making minor changes to remove the amount of C code we have to maintain and possibly some minor performance improvements.
2009-02-23Allow overriding :directory or via -C/--directory
This allows Unicorn to be constantly started in symlink paths such as the ones Capistrano creates (e.g. "/u/apps/$app/current")
2009-02-21Fix+test reexec error handling on bad inputs
People can screw config files up, it's not my fault if they do, but they do... Don't let the original process get wedged if we can help it..
2009-02-21revamp configuration with Configurator DSL
The Configurator includes error checking and opens the way for better reloading/error-checking abilities. This also renames many of the config settings with something nginx-like to minimize the learning/setup curve since nginx is the only recommended reverse-proxy for this. s/pid_file/pid/ => blech!, more confusing :< s/listen_backlog/backlog/ => maybe more confusing to some, or less... s/nr_workers/worker_processes/ => less confusing to non-AWKers for sure s/hot_config_file/config_file/ => the config file is now general purpose, not just hot reloads
2009-02-21Register default constants in Const module
This will make setting some of this easier to deal with in the executable.
2009-02-21Ignore ENV['PWD'] in default start context
This variable is not guaranteed to be updated outside of an interactive POSIX-ish shell.
2009-02-21socket: make bind_listen idempotent, really
2009-02-14HttpResponse: remove crack-addled HTTP_STATUS_HEADERS hash
This also fixes a subtle bug in header generation when the +$,+ ($OFS) variable is defined to something other than nil or "" I'm really wondering what kind of drugs I was on (or _not_ on) when I modified some of this from the Mongrel source.
2009-02-13HttpResponse: use each instead of each_pair to iterate
Rack spec specifies #each must be defined, not #each_pair. Hash#each_pair was marginally faster in Ruby 1.8, but in Ruby 1.9.1, Hash#each and Hash#each_pair are the same function.
2009-02-13continue ignoring SIGCHLD for now...
Since dying children can be a sign that something is wrong with the app itself, continue to use the 1 wakeup/sec throttle and don't wake the master immediately.
2009-02-13trap SIGCHLD and wakeup master on it
And avoid repeatedly sending kill -0 to each worker, that nugget of stupid probably slipped in while I was testing something...
2009-02-13Remove tempfile reuse from HttpRequest, upload tests
Tempfile reuse was over-engineered and the problem was not nearly as big a problem as initially thought. Additionally, it could lead to a subtle bug in an applications that link(2)s or rename(2)s the temporary file to a permanent location _without_ closing it after the request is done. Applications that suffer from the problem of directory bloat are still free to modify ENV['TMPDIR'] to influence the creation of Tempfiles.
2009-02-10add_listener logging includes fd= information
This is to make things consistent with the other logging when adding listeners
2009-02-10Set default process title
This can be overridden in {after,before}_fork hooks of course; but makes things look a little nicer.
2009-02-10add hot_config_file config parameter
This allows changing certain variables without restarting the master process or code reload. Currently, only the following variables are supported: @timeout, @nr_workers, @hot_config_file. Any other config changes will/should require re-executing the running binary. This config file is run through eval(); so it really users plenty of rope to hang themselves with. Of course, it requires valid Ruby syntax: ------------------------- 8< ------------------------ @nr_workers = 8 @timeout = 15 @hot_config_file = "/var/tmp/new_hot_config_file" ------------------------- 8< ------------------------ Lowering the timeout will trigger all existing workers to be gracefully stopped and restarted. This file is loaded at startup, and overrides any config settings that may already be loaded.
2009-02-10Allow listen_backlog to be specified in config.
This controls the backlog argument to the listen(2) system call. See your operating system documentation for listen(2) on the specifics of this option. The default is 1024, which is the same as Mongrel. 5 is the default for Ruby TCPServer and UNIXServer; and in some case it can be better where failover to a different machine/cluster is properly configured.
2009-02-10Minor and insignificant cleanups and style changes
* IO.pipe.map { } looks moronic, especially without doing more inside it (like setting set_cloexec). * No need to sleep when we have an unhandled master loop exception (save for paranoia). * client.class == TCPSocket is slightly more expensive than TCPSocket === client * nilify client to avoid GC from trying to close it * Process.kill => kill
2009-02-09Use a short-as-possible path for worker Tempfiles
These files are unlinked immediately anyways, so it's wasteful to give them a long name...
2009-02-09Prevent leakage of private pipes and tempfiles.
Don't rely on FD_CLOEXEC if we don't have to since it may not be completely portable. Just explicitly close things (pipes, tempfiles) we don't want to pass on to our children when forking.
2009-02-09add add_listener method for use in configs
This makes it possible to bind per-process listener ports for easier debugging. One of my biggest gripes about other prefork webservers is that strace-ing the correct process for debugging is difficult. This makes it possible for each worker to bind to a unique port or UNIX socket independent of the other workers.
2009-02-09Delete UNICORN_* environment variables in workers
Workers have no business knowing these things...
2009-02-09Avoid starting the pipe until we need it
If we're running in the foreground and don't care for process manglement, then there's no need to start a pipe we won't need.
2009-02-09Add optional PID file support
Like nginx, we'll replace the existing "pid_file" with "pid_file.oldbin" when executing a new binary. We'll also refuse to reexecute a new binary if the ".oldbin" pid file already exists and points to a valid PID.
2009-02-09SocketHelper: unlink UNIX sockets if they exist
We may have stale UNIX sockets leftover since we don't clean those up at_exit. So unlink them if we didn't inherit one.
2009-02-09update version and changelog
2009-02-09Reinstate timeouts for killing workers
The timeout mechanism is implemented via shared tempfile handles between the worker and master and checking the ctime of the tempfile from the master. Instead of using sockets or pipes to communicate between the workers and master, this allows the master to avoid being overloaded with wakeups when the workers are running at full crank (or this avoids having extra logic in workers to throttle wakeup notifications to master). The master still wakes up at a leisurely interval of once per second to check, reap, or murder workers that are timed out. [1] http://cr.yp.to/docs/selfpipe.html
