Viewing a draft hangs

Question

In my Crucible instance, it seems every few hours I have to restart Crucible to resolve an issue.

It seems that after a review is created using FishEye smart commit, every once and awhile... it hangs maybe a thread or process in the background?

I can click around in FeCru just fine. View previous reviews, code changes, etc... but the new review is a Draft and when I try to view it, the web page "waits for response" infinitely.

This is the only error I get in the log

Hi Charlie,

I'd like to help, would you consider raising this issue with Atlassian Support and provide thread dumps of JVM so we could inspect in detail? What database are you using, is it remote to FishEye server, is database server overloaded?

DefaultContentManager.updateDetails method should be very quick, there is relatively cheap DB interaction performed in there, so I can't see an obvious reason why it takes so long in your environment.

Kind regards,

Hey Kah,

Sorry for the INCREDIBLY late response. :)

I'm currently having a review hang with one file. With a 4 character difference in XML.

I'm running FE/Crucible 3.1 as well.

SQL Database.

We currently wait for the hung reviews to "work" as we use smart commits but it'd be nice to figure out why they're hanging and if we can avoid it.
