Erratic EADDRINUSE errors when querying database via arangojs

[ropel...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm running ArangoDB 2.6.4 on Windows 8.1.

I'm using a nodejs script with arangojs to import a large number of edges from XML files. I've been getting "Error: Connect EADDRINUSE" errors intermittently back from the database from a variety of different queries (it's not reproducible) but I'm not sure why--or where to start looking for a fix.

Any idea whether this is a problem on Arango's end?

Or, as a workaround, is there an easy way to simply delay and retry a query if gives an error?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Can you please confirm that:

  - it is node.js giving the error and not the database server?

If this is right, I fear this has nothing to do with ArangoDB or arangojs, see

  https://github.com/request/request/issues/210

This seems to be an unresolved issue of node.js on Windows. This links to

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nodejs/3KNosjnfTks

and

  https://zeromq.jira.com/browse/LIBZMQ-519

which suggest the same. There seems to be a workaround for OSX, but none for Windows.

What happens, if you delay the calls to arangojs a bit?

Best regards,

  Max.
