java.io.EOFException with paho

Question

i want to make stress test on mosquitto, so i create some code as below

for (int i = 0; i < 800; i++) {
        final int j = i;
        Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                System.out.println(j + " : ************");
                try {
                    MqttClient client = new MqttClient("tcp://192.168.88.203", SERVER_CLIENTID_PREFIX + j); 
                    client.connect();

                    MqttMessage message = new MqttMessage((j + ":me").getBytes());
                    message.setQos(2);

                    client.publish(TOPIC_PREFIX + j, message);
                } catch (MqttSecurityException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (MqttException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
        t.start();
    }

But, I got some errors like EOFException during run and some client is disconnect. I want to know how many clients can publish messages at same time with one mosquitto server, and how can I make the stress test. Thanks!

The detail exception is :

    Connection lost (32109) - java.io.EOFException
    at org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.internal.CommsReceiver.run(CommsReceiver.java:162)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)
Caused by: java.io.EOFException
    at java.io.DataInputStream.readByte(DataInputStream.java:250)
    at org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.internal.wire.MqttInputStream.readMqttWireMessage(MqttInputStream.java:51)
    at org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.internal.CommsReceiver.run(CommsReceiver.java:121)
    ... 1 more

And I found some log from mosquitto server:

1383736170: Socket read error on client Server-82, disconnecting.

Please help me, thanks!

Answer 1

I got this exact same error using code similar to above. I found that changing the QOS to 0 fixed the problem.

message.setQos(0);

[Edit] A bit more digging and I discovered that the MQTT plugin for RabbitMQ doesn't support a QOS of 2. http://www.rabbitmq.com/mqtt.html

Answer 2

My issue resulted from the clientId being the same for the publisher/subscriber. Was getting errors with Persistence datastore already being in use as well.
