Fixes #379 by switching from TCP sockets to Unix domain sockets with server-side read timeout on macOS.
It turns out extremely difficult to find a reliable way to IPC on macOS, when the client is a simple bash script without accessing to mature frameworks. None of the above survived a stress test of 100k runs of 100KB messages:
However, when trying to implement a retry-on-timeout, it's found that, mysteriously, domain sockets with
junixsocket
server are working well with a server-side read timeout alone, even if we don't catch and retry (i.e. there is no timeout exception thrown or hang anymore). It's also the most performant solution on macOS:[1]
macOS: macOS 14.6.1, M2 Max
Linux: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS, Xeon(R) Platinum 8375C
How is this tested?
Passes the stress test in #382, after adding
client.setSoTimeout(60000)
