Apache HttpClient 资源释放、请求超时，导致线程池用光、内存不足

Apache HttpClient，据说很强大，可以支持峰值一秒7万以上的请求。不过需要注意一些资源释放和超时处理的问题。

问题1：线程资源无法释放，最终导致内存不足、或线程池被用光。

问题代码：

private static HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();private void sendHttpPost(String httpUrl, Object body) {   try {      HttpPost request = new HttpPost(httpUrl);      StringEntity params = new StringEntity(new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(body), "UTF-8");      request.addHeader("content-type", "application/json");      request.setEntity(params);      httpClient.execute(request); //问题代码   } catch (Exception ex) {      logger.error("Http post error. body={}", body, ex);   }}

原因：httpClient.execute()执行的返回值response没有被close，导致线程一直在等待。

解决：改用CloseableHttpClient，并保证httpClient.execute()执行的response最终被close掉。而httpClient无需close，可以重复使用。

改正后的代码：

//private static HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();private static CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();private void sendHttpPost(String httpUrl, Object body) {   try {      HttpPost request = new HttpPost(httpUrl);      StringEntity params = new StringEntity(new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(body), "UTF-8");      request.addHeader("content-type", "application/json");      request.setEntity(params);      //httpClient.execute(request);      try (CloseableHttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request)) { //response.close()会被自动调用         //result = this.extractResultInfo(response);      }catch (Exception ex) {         logger.error("Http post execute error. body={}", body, ex);      }   } catch (Exception ex) {      logger.error("Http post error. body={}", body, ex);   }}

问题2：如果使用HttpClient访问外部url，有时候会出现连接超时或应答超时的情况。如果没有超时处理，也会导致内存不足、或线程池被用光。

问题代码：如上。

解决：创建httpClient时，设置几个timeout时间：

//private static HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();private static CloseableHttpClient httpClient;// = HttpClientBuilder.create().build(); //no timeout handling...static {   RequestConfig.Builder requestConfigBuilder = RequestConfig.custom();   //客户端和服务器建立连接的timeout   requestConfigBuilder.setConnectTimeout(30000);   //从连接池获取连接的timeout   requestConfigBuilder.setConnectionRequestTimeout(30000);   //连接建立后，request没有回应的timeout   requestConfigBuilder.setSocketTimeout(30000);   HttpClientBuilder clientBuilder = HttpClientBuilder.create();   clientBuilder.setDefaultRequestConfig(requestConfigBuilder.build());   clientBuilder.setDefaultSocketConfig(SocketConfig.custom().setSoTimeout(30000).build()); //连接建立后，request没有回应的timeout   clientBuilder.setKeepAliveStrategy(new DefaultConnectionKeepAliveStrategy());   httpClient = clientBuilder.build();}
