线程轮询sqs并将其添加到python队列以处理die

Question

我有一段多线程代码-3线程，用于轮询来自SQS的数据并将其添加到python队列中。5个线程从python队列获取消息，处理它们并将其发送到后端系统。在

代码如下：

python_queue = Queue.Queue()

class GetDataFromSQS(threading.Thread):
    """Threaded Url Grab"""
    def __init__(self, python_queue):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.python_queue = python_queue

    def run(self):
        while True:
            time.sleep(0.5) //sleep for a few secs before querying again
            try:
                msgs = sqs_queue.get_messages(10)
                if msgs == None:
                    print "sqs is empty now"!
                for msg in msgs:
                    #place each message block from sqs into python queue for processing
                    self.python_queue.put(msg)
                    print "Adding a new message to Queue. Queue size is now %d" % self.python_queue.qsize()
                    #delete from sqs
                    sqs_queue.delete_message(msg)
            except Exception as e:
                print "Exception in GetDataFromSQS :: " +  e


class ProcessSQSMsgs(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, python_queue):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.python_queue = python_queue
        self.pool_manager = PoolManager(num_pools=6)

    def run(self):
        while True:
            #grabs the message to be parsed from sqs queue
            python_queue_msg = self.python_queue.get()
            try:
                processMsgAndSendToBackend(python_queue_msg, self.pool_manager)
            except Exception as e:
                print "Error parsing:: " + e
            finally:
                self.python_queue.task_done()

def processMsgAndSendToBackend(msg, pool_manager):
    if msg != "":
        ###### All the code related to processing the msg
        for individualValue in processedMsg:
            try:
                response = pool_manager.urlopen('POST', backend_endpoint, body=individualValue)
                if response == None:
                    print "Error"
                else:
                    response.release_conn()
            except Exception as e:
                print "Exception! Post data to backend: " + e


def startMyPython():
    #spawn a pool of threads, and pass them queue instance
    for i in range(3):
        sqsThread = GetDataFromSQS(python_queue)
        sqsThread.start()

    for j in range(5):
        parseThread = ProcessSQSMsgs(python_queue)
        #parseThread.setDaemon(True)
        parseThread.start()

    #wait on the queue until everything has been processed
    python_queue.join()
    # python_queue.close() -- should i do this?

startMyPython()

问题： 每隔几天就有3个python工作人员随机死亡（使用top-p-H进行监视），如果我终止进程并重新启动脚本，一切都会好起来的。我怀疑消失的工人是3个GetDataFromSQS线程。。而且由于GetDataFromSQS死了，其他5个工作线程虽然在运行，但始终处于睡眠状态，因为python队列中没有数据。我不确定我在这里做错了什么，因为我对python相当陌生，并遵循了本教程创建这个队列逻辑和线程-http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-threadingpython/

提前谢谢你的帮助。希望我把我的问题解释清楚了。在

线程挂起的问题与获取sqs队列的句柄有关。我使用IAM管理凭证，使用boto sdk连接到sqs。在

这个问题的根本原因是boto包正在从AWS读取auth的元数据，并且偶尔会失败。在

修复方法是编辑boto配置，增加对AWS执行auth调用的尝试次数。在

[波图] metadata_service_num_尝试次数=5
