Value not returned by call to "get" function

Java SDK
1

Using Couchbase Java client library version 1.1.2 against Couchbase server 1.8, periodically the library fails to return a value for the following key using the “get” function on the CouchbaseClient:

cfg:-r_/mgr/cpath/-r_/-s_

Are there any reasons why the “get” function would fail to return the value?

Hello,

No reason, if the key is present it should work.

Could you update your Java Client to the latest release? (1.1.7)

This release is compatible with Couchbase 1.8 too.

Let me know…

Also note that you may want to double check that any exception handlers are doing what you’d expect. You can also replace your synchronous .get() call with .asyncGet() to get more details returned from the server on the Future object returned.

@tgrall I upgraded to the latest client version (1.1.8) but it didn’t work.

@ingenthr I tried your suggestion to use the asyncGet instead of get and it appears to work. It now calls asyncGet, waits until either the operation is done or it is cancelled, then it returns the result. Thanks.

I noticed that the call to asyncGet was causing long delays in my application, so I decided to re-investigate why the call to get didn’t return a value. I created a small Java application that does the following:

  • connects to the Couchbase server
  • reads the value of a key
  • reads the value of another key that contains the value of the key above
  • reads the value of another key that contains the value of the key above
  • shuts down the connection

The above actions are performed 1000 and, out of the 3000 key reads approximately 8 - 10 reads fail each time. I tried increasing the timeouts but that didn’t work. There are also no timeout exceptions thrown by the client. I added some extra Couchbase client logging to the application:

Any ideas?
