Re: JDBC client hangs on socketRead() - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

I have multithread Java service using JDBC connections from pool and
sometimes it hangs some threads at socketRead() while PostgreSQL shows
that all connections are in idle state.

My internal logging shows that the last statement I called in those
threads was:

        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();

From my client jstack output looks like:

"/client1_160524084431" #65702 daemon prio=5 os_prio=0
tid=0x00007fc2fc016800 nid=0x10c9 runnable [0x00007fc297ffd000]

At server side those connections show idle state:

polkitd    736  0.0  0.0 8512128 30464 ?       Ss   07:59   0:00
postgres: postgres client1 192.168.1.124(47685) idle
polkitd    857  0.0  0.0 8509548 20824 ?       Ss   08:02   0:00
postgres: postgres client2 192.168.1.124(47809) idle
...
(more similar connections)

My environment:

Client:
OS: Linux
JVM: 1.8.0_92 (Oracle Corporation)
JDBC: postgresql-9.4.1208.jar, Java JDBC 4.2 (JRE 8+) driver for
PostgreSQL database

Server:
Version: PostgreSQL 9.5.3 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc
(Debian 4.9.2-10) 4.9.2, 64-bit
OS: Linux

Both service and database server runs on separate docker environments.


My question is:
Why I observe such hanging threads?
