[zeromq-dev] Zmq Unknown error (110) from router socket

[Antti Karanta]

Occasionally I get zmq unknown error when sending messages via a router 
socket. An example stack trace:

org.zeromq.ZMQException: Unknown error
     errorCode: 110

The error is reproducible at least by killing the process to which the 
messages are addressed to before it has received all of them. It seems 
to occur randomly at other times as well.

In what circumstances does this error occur? What should / can I do 
about it?

The socket is exclusively used from a single thread so that should not 
be an issue. Also, the amount of data sent compared to the memory 
available is modest so high water mark should not come into play here.


Environment:  zmq version 4.0.4, using cljzmq wrappers, windows 7 on x64.

Here's how the router socket is initialized:

router-socket (doto (zmq/socket (:zmq-context request-handler) :router)
                                 (zmq/set-receive-timeout 100)
                                 (zmq/set-router-mandatory true)
                                 (zmq/set-recv-hwm 0)
                                 (zmq/set-send-hwm 0)
                                 (zmq/bind (str "tcp://*:" (:port 
request-handler))))
