Scala/Akka WSResponse recursively call - scala

Question

Im trying to parse some data from an API
I have a recursion method that calling to this method
def getJsonValue( url: (String)): JsValue = {
val builder = new com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder()
val client = new play.api.libs.ws.ning.NingWSClient(builder.build())
val newUrl = url.replace("\"", "").replace("|", "%7C").trim
val response: Future[WSResponse] = client.url(newUrl).get()
Await.result(response, Duration.create(10, "seconds")).json
}
Everything is working well but after 128 method calls i'm getting this warning
WARNING: You are creating too many HashedWheelTimer instances. HashedWheelTimer is a shared resource that must be reused across the application, so that only a few instances are created.
After about 20 More calls im getting this exception
23:24:57.425 [main] ERROR com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClient - Unable to instantiate provider com.ning.http.client.providers.netty.NettyAsyncHttpProvider. Trying other providers.
23:24:57.438 [main] ERROR com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClient - org.jboss.netty.channel.ChannelException: Failed to create a selector.
Questions
1.Im assuming that the connections didnt closed ?? and therefore i can't create new connections.
2.What will be the correct and the safe way to create those HTTP calls

Answer 1

Had the same problem.
Found 2 interesting solutions:
make sure you are not creating tons of clients with closing them
the threadPool you are using may be causing this.
My piece of code (commenting that line of code solved, I'm now testing several configurations):
private[this] def withClient(block: NingWSClient => WSResponse): Try[WSResponse] = {
val config = new NingAsyncHttpClientConfigBuilder().build()
val clientConfig = new AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder(config)
// .setExecutorService(new ThreadPoolExecutor(5, 15, 30L, TimeUnit.SECONDS, new SynchronousQueue[Runnable]))
.build()
val client = new NingWSClient(clientConfig)
val result = Try(block(client))
client.close()
result
}

Answer 2

for avoiding this you can use different provider.
private AsyncHttpProvider httpProvider =new ApacheAsyncHttpProvider(config);
private AsyncHttpClient asyncHttpClient = new AsyncHttpClient(httpProvider,config);

Answer 3

I ran into this same problem. Before you call your recursive method, you should create builder and client and pass client to the recursive method, as well as getJsonValue. This is what getJsonValue should look like:
def getJsonValue(url: String, client: NingWSClient): JsValue = {
val builder = new com.ning.http.client.AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder()
val client = new play.api.libs.ws.ning.NingWSClient(builder.build())
val newUrl = url.replace("\"", "").replace("|", "%7C").trim
val response: Future[WSResponse] = client.url(newUrl).get()
Await.result(response, Duration.create(10, "seconds")).json
}
