Google Cloud Functions with ECONNRESET errors unti

问题:

I'm using Google Cloud Functions to:

1. Watch for a new Firebase entry
2. Download a file that's referenced in the Firebase entry
3. Generate a thumbnail based on that file.
4. Upload the thumbnail to the cloud bucket.

Unfortunately I'm getting ECONNRESET errors repeatedly on step 4, and the only way to fix it seems to be to redeploy the function. Any ideas how to further debug this?

Edit:

It seems like many times when this happens, when I try to deploy the function again, it errors, and I have to run the deploy twice. Is something hanging or something?

Update May 9 2017

According to this thread, the google cloud nodejs API developers have made some changes to the defaults that are used when initializing that should solve these ECONNRESET socket issues.

From @stephen++ on github GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-node issue 2254:

We have disabled the forever agent by default in Cloud Function environments. If you un- and re-install @google-cloud/storage, you will pick up the new behavior automatically. Thanks for all of the helpful debugging, everyone!

The solution for me to similar ECONNRESET issues using storage on the cloud functions platform was to use npm:promise-retry, but set up your own retry strategy because the default of 10 retries is too many.

I reported an ECONNRESET issue with cloud functions to Google Support (which you might star if you are also getting ECONNRESET in this context but not in other contexts) and they replied with a "won't fix" that the behavior is expected. Google support said the socket that the API client library uses to connect times out after a few minutes, and then when your cloud function tries to use it again you get ECONNRESET. They recommended adding autoRetry:true when initializing the storage API, but that did not help.

The ECONNRESETs happen on the read side too. In both read and write cases promise-retry helps, and most of the time with only 1 retry needed to reset the bad socket.

So I wrote npm:pipe-to-storage to return a promise to do the retries, check md5, etc., but I haven't tested it with binary data, only text, so I don't know if you could use it with image files. The calls would look like this:

const fs = require('fs');
const storage = require('@google-cloud/storage')();
const pipeToStorage = require('pipe-to-storage')(storage);
const source = ()=>(fs.createReadStream("/path/to/your/file/to/upload"));
pipeToStorage(source, bucketName, fileNameInBucket).then(//do next step);

You can directly report a bug to the Firebase Support team, or open a support ticket with Firebase to troubleshoot a specific issue.

You may also report a Cloud Functions specific issue in the Google Issue Tracker, which is similar to Stack Overflow in that it is accessible by the public (but specifically used for filing issue reports).
