Bug #13256

LDAP IO error on generation with a lot of nodes
Description
A bug quite similar to #10646 was reported on the same heavy loaded installation, but with a different part of the system failing and that error message:
[2018-08-21 18:35:57] DEBUG com.normation.rudder.services.policies.PromiseGenerationServiceImpl - Policy generation completed in 1124 ms
[2018-08-21 18:35:57] ERROR com.normation.rudder.batch.AsyncDeploymentAgent$DeployerAgent - Error when updating policy, reason Cannot get the Configuration Cache <- Can't execute LDAP request

The problem is linked to a default parameter in unboundid: https://docs.ldap.com/ldap-sdk/docs/javadoc/com/unboundid/ldap/sdk/LDAPConnectionOptions.html#PROPERTY_DEFAULT_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE_BYTES which has a default value of 20971520 B (20MB).

We will need to set a bigger default value to match the one configured in OpenLDAP in #10646.

- Related to Bug #10646: "SocketException(message='Socket closed'" error at the end of generation with 500 nodes added
Updated by François ARMAND over 6 years ago
The workaround was successfully tested but can only work for values below Int.MaxSize (ie 2147483647) and is in bit, so that accounts for 255 MB.
We have feedbacks of a size of ~20MB for 1600 nodes and not that many policies, so the 255MB limit can be a showstopper. We need to investigate how to make it less so (either by lifting the limit, of findind a more compact hash strategy, which ca be good in all cases, because it's not smart to move around hundreds of megabyte of data for that).

- Description updated (diff)
Removing the workaround as it does not work in Rudder 4.1/4.3. The correct correction is in the pull request reference by that ticket.

Also, you can do is in pure shell + ldapmodify:
# create a 1MB string str=a for i in $(seq 1 20); do str="$str$str"; done # update "description" attribute on "Node Configuration" entry. That attribute is retrieved even if it # is not actually use, so modifying it won't mess with the actual behavior of Rudder. for i in $(seq 1 30); do ldapmodify -xc -H ldap://localhost:389 -D "cn=manager, cn=rudder-configuration" -w "xxxxxxxxxx" << EOF dn: cn=Nodes Configuration,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration changetype: modify add: description description: $i-$str - EOF ; done We now have a big entry. Go to Rudder ui, try Status > "update policies". If it does not blow up almost immediately, the fix is ok. The description can be safely removed (no need to move 30MB along wires all day long): ldapmodify -xc -H ldap://localhost:389 -D "cn=manager, cn=rudder-configuration" -w "xxxxxxxxxx" << EOF dn: cn=Nodes Configuration,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration changetype: modify delete: description - EOF

This was not released, We were mistaken by the scala-ldap|3ca6e15833f9c5f4433a9a662cf97c383b2fb05c commit which changed the status of this release but was not made on a release branch (it was used to make a support/client release with the fix)
Reopening this issue and making a technical review
