Bug ID: 65809
Summary: Reduce memory footprint for long-lasting WebSocket
server connections
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.5.x-trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: WebSocket
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ----
I'm using a WebSocket service that manage a large amount of open connections,
sending back messages to clients.
The number of concurrent messages can be negligible if compared to the number
of active connections.
In such a situation I've found the running Tomcat process can use approx. 100KB
of memory per open WebSocket connection.
Looking at source code I've found some classes with buffers allocated inside
the constructor.
With the default value of 8192 for
org.apache.tomcat.websocket.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE:
In org.apache.tomcat.websocket.WsFrameBase
- inputBuffer 8KB
- messageBufferBinary 8KB
- messageBufferText 16KB
In org.apache.tomcat.websocket.WsRemoteEndpointImplBase
- outputBuffer 8KB
- encoderBuffer 8KB
With the above buffers this sum up to a 48KB of memory per WebSocket
connection.
Changing the allocation strategy to an on-demand buffer allocation, in the
above situation
could reduce the memory footprint by 480MB of memory for 10K active
connections.
The buffers could also be pooled by a pool manager, reducing the allocation
costs.
