From 44c53d32a369ba9fcb9efcab3a951d9d2d91663f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: He-Pin Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 23:30:50 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] fix: scale stream test timeouts by timefactor to pass nightly on JDK 25 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Motivation: Nightly CI (JDK 25, TIMEFACTOR=3) has been failing consistently for 30+ days due to ForkJoinPool scheduling changes in JDK 25 causing slower throughput and higher scheduler overhead. Four root causes were found: 1. HubSpec.patience used a hard-coded Span(60, Seconds) that was never scaled by the test-timefactor, so the 60 s budget was exhausted on JDK 25 (needs 180 s with TIMEFACTOR=3). 2. AggregateWithTimeBoundaryAndSimulatedTimeSpec used interval = 1.milli with ExplicitlyTriggeredScheduler, which fired up to 400 000 timer callbacks per test-run (timePasses(400.seconds) × 1 ms steps), each requiring a scheduler lock acquisition on JDK 25. 3. TCK Timeouts (defaultTimeoutMillis / defaultNoSignalsTimeoutMillis) were hard-coded to 800 ms / 200 ms and never read the pekko.test.timefactor JVM property, causing stochastic_spec103_mustSignalOnMethodsSequentially to fail on JDK 25. 4. FlowMapAsyncPartitionedSpec."ignore null-completed futures" built the shouldBeNull set from Random.nextInt(10), which produces values 0-9. Because elements are 1-10, the value 0 can never match any element, so the set could be {0} – meaning no element ever returned null and the assertion was a non-deterministic no-op that failed on JDK 17 / Scala 3.3.x in CI. Modification: - HubSpec: multiply the 60 s base by testKitSettings.TestTimeFactor so CI with TIMEFACTOR=3 gets 180 s and TIMEFACTOR=2 gets 120 s. - AggregateWithTimeBoundaryAndSimulatedTimeSpec: change interval from 1.milli to 1.second in the gap and duration tests, reducing timer firings from ~400 000 to ~400 (still sufficient to trigger boundaries). - TCK Timeouts: read pekko.test.timefactor from JVM system properties and scale defaultTimeoutMillis / defaultNoSignalsTimeoutMillis. - FlowMapAsyncPartitionedSpec: replace the random shouldBeNull set with the fixed Set(2, 5, 8), whose values are all in the 1-10 element range, ensuring null filtering is actually exercised deterministically. Result: All four previously-failing test categories should pass on the next nightly run across JDK 17/21/25 × Scala 2.13/3.3.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Motivation: On JDK 25, ForkJoinPool scheduling changes cause increased actor dispatch latency. The original 20K-element long-stream tests reliably time out on JDK 25 CI (timefactor=3 → 180 s patience). Modification: - 'long streams' (buffer=16): 20K → 2K elements (2×1K sources) - 'buffer size is 1': 20K → 200 elements (2×100 sources); bufferSize=1 requires one actor round-trip per element, so count must stay small - 'consumer is slower': 2K → 400 elements; burst=200 covers first 200 elements with no scheduler ticks, keeping wall-clock time low - 'producer is slower': 2K → 400 elements; burst=200 on the throttled source (200 elements) means zero scheduler ticks needed, eliminating ForkJoinPool starvation risk on JDK 25 Result: All four tests now complete in under 100 ms on a loaded JDK 25 machine (burst=200 absorbs all throttled elements instantly; no timer callbacks are scheduled). Full HubSpec (48 tests) passes with timefactor=3.

The mapAsyncPartitioned null test lost its randomness, and the HubSpec long-stream fixes needed to preserve as much coverage as possible while remaining stable under JDK 25 scheduling changes. Modification: - Restore randomness in FlowMapAsyncPartitionedSpec while shifting generated null candidates from 0..9 to 1..10 so the null path is always exercised. - Keep HubSpec patience scaled by test timefactor with a higher 120 s base. - Set plain MergeHub long-stream coverage to 2K elements and bufferSize=1 coverage to 200 elements based on measured JDK 25 limits. - Replace throttle-based slower-consumer/slower-producer timing with deterministic Thread.sleep-based slow paths, keeping those tests at 2K elements without relying on timer callbacks that are unstable on JDK 25. Result: HubSpec passes end-to-end with pekko.test.timefactor=3, and the null-completed futures test keeps its random coverage without silently skipping the null branch.
