Description
- asyncpg version: 0.20.1
- PostgreSQL version: 11
- Do you use a PostgreSQL SaaS? If so, which? Can you reproduce
the issue with a local PostgreSQL install?:no - Python version: 3.7
- Platform: Win
- Do you use pgbouncer?: no
- Did you install asyncpg with pip?: yes
- If you built asyncpg locally, which version of Cython did you use?:
- Can the issue be reproduced under both asyncio and
uvloop?: dont know, havent used uvloop
Hello! Thank you for your attention in advance.
Im trying to run parallel tasks in batches with asyncio, gino and asyncpg.
I have the magic starting from this entry point:
while batch:
tasks = {asyncio.create_task(JobService.run_job(job, connection_per_job=True, endpoint_connection=endpoint_request.db_connection)): job for job in batch}
result = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
# executed_jobs.append({'name': job_instance.name, 'uuid': job_instance.uuid, 'result': job_execution.response})
start += batch_jobs_count
batch = jobs[start:start + batch_jobs_count]
endpoint_connection=endpoint_request.db_connection is the endpoint connection started from the point of receiving the request in my application (I'm using an internal util library over asyncpg, quart and gino)
Below in JobService.run_job I have:
@classmethod
async def run_job(cls, job: Job, connection_per_job=False, endpoint_connection=None) -> (Job, JobExecution):
print(f'received {job.name}, time: {datetime.utcnow()}')
print(f'job: {job.name}, connection: {endpoint_connection.raw_connection._con._stmt_exclusive_section._acquired}')
if connection_per_job and bool(endpoint_connection.raw_connection._con._stmt_exclusive_section._acquired):
async with db_adapter.get_db().acquire() as conn:
print('in context')
job_instance, job_execution = await cls._run_job_internal(job, conn=conn)
else:
job_instance, job_execution = await cls._run_job_internal(job)
return job_instance, job_execution
I'm trying to optimize using db connections by first checking if the general endpoint connection is free and using it if so and if not acquiring a new one in a context manager. In order to be sure which connection is used, I'm passing a bind (connection) parameter to all of my methods related to db operations (gino usage) and they seem to fail on the second created connection in the context, i don't really understand also how a connection created explicitly can be used in another operation already (from what i understand from the error)

Research direction
Start with the asyncio.create_task/asyncio.gather entry point and JobService.run_job shown in the report, then reproduce the parallel batch with the same connection-per-job setup. Trace which connection each GINO operation uses and document a reproducible cause and safe connection-usage behavior; no repository file or test is named in the report.
