問題

  • We have a constantly growing amount of idle TimerThreads in our JVM:

    "Timer-252" daemon prio=10 tid=0x00002ace41acc000 nid=0x138a in Object.wait() [0x00002ace6b873000]
   java.lang.Thread.State: TIMED_WAITING (on object monitor)
        at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)
        - waiting on <0x00000000fd09e810> (a java.util.TaskQueue)
        at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:509)
        - locked <0x00000000fd09e810> (a java.util.TaskQueue)
        at java.util.TimerThread.run(Timer.java:462)

  • How can we troubleshoot and resolve this?

解決策

  • Be sure to reuse a Timer object if you can.
  • If you are done with a Timer object, be sure you call Timer.cancel() and that references are removed so the Timer can be GC'd.

原因

  • New java.util.Timer objects are being created repeatedly and are not being cancelled or freed from the heap. A TimerThread persists until the java.util.Timer that the thread belongs to is cancelled with a Timer.cancel() call or until the Timer object is GC'd and finalized.

診断手順

  • For debugging, consider giving a unique name to any Timers you create:

    Timer t = new Timer("UniqueTimerName");

    The TimerThreads will get this same unique name in thread dumps then for better tracking of which Timers are growing rather than a generic Timer-123 name, which is the default.

  • Since the TimerThreads are still in their mainloop, we know the Timer's have not been finalized or GC'd. Thus, we could likely see who has references to the leaked Timers through a heap dump. You should capture a heap dump from a time of high timer build up. You can capture a heap dump with your JDK's jmap command as explained in How do I create a Java heap dump?.
