Lag Spike Every 45 Seconds

I am getting a lag spike every 45 seconds on each of our 150 slot servers. I have poured over all of our code and third party plugins and nothing has a recurring task every 45 seconds, but the timing is very precise at the 45 second mark. I poked through the Bukkit source and saw that every 900 ticks it saves the world and the chunks, is there something about that process that changes that would cause a 400-700ms halt on the server? We are running on a ramdisk so disk I/O should not be a factor. If you need anymore information/have any profiling you would like me to run please let me know.

 

I'm getting the /exact/ same thing.

 

what process on your server is running every 45 seconds?

 

No process on the box itself, and as I stated in the first post there are no plugins with sync or async 45 second tasks.

 

You could try running a custom build that changes the 900 ticks to something different and then test if you still get the lag spikes at the 45 second mark.

Here's a bug report I found on it:
https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-2088

Also, MineZ!? :O

 

I will, I'm new to the maven stuff and had some issues getting it to build correctly and any artifacts I would produce in InteliJ would not be runnable.

 

I am shocked and baffled that after many days, no developer has a clue as to why this is happening. Why the server continuously gives overloaded messages with one person on who is doing nothing.

Can't the processes be sampled to see what is happening or something?

 

Is there a plugin that can force unload the chunks bukkit is keeping loaded? Can nolagg or anything similar do that?

 

i also have the exactly same problem since the first 1.3.1 dev builds (including the RB), even with no plugins activated

 

Same problem here. Wasn't there before 1.3, so I guess it's one of the few plugins that haven't been updated yet. I'll wait and see.

 

Bump, also getting it here, every 46 seconds the world lags for like a second, very annoying.

 

We aren't the super-techy geniuses that you think we are. We have lives too. We don't spend every day, every hour, every second of our time at our computers, thinking about new ways to use Java. We also have plugins to take care of. Not all us developers have time for these sorts of problems that the Bukkit team should be fixing right now.
Just report this problem on leaky.bukkit.org if it really is a big issue.

 

Same issue

 

same issue.. i am disappoint

 

good news everyone
i tried every new build, the problem was not solved by updating

until now!
i have no idea why, but when another player logged in and out again, the problem was solved

see my log

Code:

so now i'm afraid to restart the server

EDIT: server rebooted, no more lag spikes -> problem solved for me
