locking problem in jdbc driver?

I am seeing the following problem, where a thread holding a java  lock
seems to be blocking another query. I suspect the the thread holding the java lock
may be waiting for a DB lock to be freed by the second one. I am pasting the
relevant parts of the java stack trace. All threads shown here are operating on
the same table, and they are all parts of transactions involving multiple tables.
deadlock detection is set for 1 sec and no dedlocks are reported by postgres.

From my experience, PostgreSQL doesn't report deadlocks.  This is true
when purposely creating a dead-lock situation using two instances of
psql.  However, unless you've set your transaction isolation level to
SERIALIZABLE ( the default isolation level is READ COMMITED), you will
not be getting deadlocks from PostgreSQL.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/transaction-iso.html#XACT-SERIALIZABLE
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/transaction-iso.html#XACT-READ-COMMITTED

Also, IIRC the PostgreSQL JDBC driver only allows a single thread to
access a connection object at a time.

http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/84/thread.html

Could this be causing your problem?

It should, at least with default settings. Failure to do so would, I
expect, be considered a bug. How, exactly, are you creating a deadlock
situation for your testing?

Sure you will. In READ COMMITTED:

CREATE TABLE a ( );
CREATE TABLE b ( );

T1:   LOCK TABLE a;
T2:   LOCK TABLE b;
T2:   LOCK TABLE a;
T1:   LOCK TABLE b;

then one of the transactions will be aborted with:

ERROR:  deadlock detected
DETAIL:  Process 13674 waits for AccessExclusiveLock on relation 57791
of database 57071; blocked by process 13672.
Process 13672 waits for AccessExclusiveLock on relation 57788 of
database 57071; blocked by process 13674.
HINT:  See server log for query details.


What *doesn't* happen in read committed isolation is serialization failures.

Yep. It's thread safe, but a given connection can only be doing one
thing at a time, so other Java threads will wait for access to the
connection.

It looks like your threads may all be trying to use the same connection.

The PgJDBC documentation states: "If a thread attempts to use the
connection while another one is using it, it will wait until the other
thread has finished its current operation. If the operation is a regular
SQL  statement, then the operation consists of sending the statement and
retrieving any ResultSet (in full)."

The lock your thread is waiting on is a lock that controls access to the
PostgreSQL connection object so that only one thread may do work with it
at a time. If your threads are deadlocking, it's probably because one
thread is waiting for another to do work that it cannot do until the
first thread releases the connection. Perhaps you forgot to close a
statement somewhere?

PostgreSQL will detect deadlocks where two connections in PostgreSQL are
each waiting for locks the other connection holds. You're only using one
connection, and your issue is with Java locking, so PostgreSQL knows
nothing about it.

Thanks Craig. This has set us off in the right direction. There is some code which passes transactions (and related connection)
around threads, and that must be the culprit. Should be able to report back within a day whether that was indeed the culprit.

deadlock detection is set for 1 sec and no dedlocks are reported by
postgres.

PostgreSQL will detect deadlocks where two connections in PostgreSQL are each waiting for locks the other connection holds. You're only using one connection, and your issue is with Java locking, so PostgreSQL knows nothing about it.


We are using multiple connections, but apparently, sometimes 2 threads are trying to use the same connection
and one of these threads is also holding another incomplete transaction.

Thanks a lot.
