ERROR worker.py:382 -- SystemExit was raised from the worker

RickLan · May 24, 2021, 2:35am

Hello,

I upgraded to Ray 1.3.0 from 1.2.0 and getting errors below (shorten). I’ve created two virtualenv using pyenv; one 1.2.0 that runs fine and 1.3.0 runs with errors. My gist has all relevant files to replicate the errors (script, requirements.txt, pip list, full error prints). The test script uses RLlib to train A3C against SimpleCorridor.

I am running on MacOS. Python 3.7.8.

Can you show me log messages from this file in /tmp/ray/session_latest/logs after crash occurs?

# For your example, find a log file that has pid == 45233
python-core-worker-[worker_id]_[pid].log

(btw, here’s more information about ray logging; Logging — Ray v2.0.0.dev0)

RickLan · May 24, 2021, 7:17am

Attached to the gist. There are 3 pid’s in the error prints. 45231, 45233 and 45235. The logs files are huge, making the gist only display the content of the one log file. Please use search to find others, e.g. “.log”.

Edit: thank you for sharing about logging. Good to know what’s under the hood.

sangcho · May 25, 2021, 12:01am

This is the error message;

[2021-05-24 11:19:57,768 C 45231 22642740] core_worker.cc:723:  Check failed: _s.ok() Bad status: IOError: Broken pipe

Here, broken pipe means the raylet is crashed. Were you able to see dead nodes when you look at the dashboard by clicking the button below?

sangcho · May 25, 2021, 12:01am

If so, can you also give me raylet.out log in that machine?

RickLan · May 25, 2021, 12:52pm

Runtime of the test script was very short. I didn’t open the dashboard.

Added to gist. Please search for raylet.out.

sangcho · May 25, 2021, 5:56pm

Do you run this in the cluster?

RickLan · May 25, 2021, 11:13pm

No, I think. I run the script:

python crash.py

sangcho · May 26, 2021, 6:02am

I cannot access the crash.py in your gist. Can you check again if code is actually there?

RickLan · May 26, 2021, 9:52am

There must be a size limit on gist. Among others, crash.py was removed, but the revision history records everything it seems. Here it is:

Trying a different tensorflow version and different OS did not workaround the problem. I now try a different python version: 3.8.10. Tensorflow 1.x is not supported on that version but Tensorflow 2 is. On both MacOS and Ubuntu 20.04. Ray 1.3.0. Both runs without errors.

RickLan · May 27, 2021, 1:05am

I ran one more experiment and summarize all experiments:

Mac OS 10.15.7	Ubuntu 20.04 LTS	Python 3.7.8	Python 3.8.10	Ray 1.2.0	Ray 1.3.0	Tensorflow 1.15.4	Tensorflow 2.5.0	Errors
x		x		x		x		N
	x	x		x		x		N
x		x			x	x		Y
	x	x			x	x		Y
x		x			x		x	Y
x		x		x			x	N
x			x		x		x	N
x			x		x		x	N

It seems that the errors appear with Python 3.7.8 and Ray 1.3.0 combo.
On GCP, I am using Python 3.7.8 with both a Debian 9 and Debian 10 images. I haven’t yet tried Ray 1.3.0. I want to move from Ray 1.2 to 1.3. I worry it will break my VM install. The Debian 10 image is quite new. May effect many people.

FYI @rliaw

sangcho · May 29, 2021, 6:43am

So, based on the table, python 3.7 has some issues?

Would you like to actually do some sort of pair debugging for this? I think it is a little difficult to debug through the chat. also cc @rliaw please follow up if you saw anything similar before.

RickLan · May 29, 2021, 12:49pm

Before we go to pair debugging, let me ask a stupid question. Are you able to duplicate my errors? If not, what is your environment setup? Perhaps I’ll duplicate that in my environment, as a workaround for now.

Vishnu · May 29, 2021, 8:30pm

Not much to add here, but just wanted to note that I’ve been getting this error ever since we migrated to 1.3.0. It’s pretty harmless in our case – showing up only after the Tune experiment ends – and doesn’t seem to affect anything. Will add more details if things change.

Env: Python3.7.5, Ray 1.3.0 – for an application that uses Tune with Pytorch and Tensorflow.

RickLan · May 30, 2021, 12:30am

@Vishnu That’s good to know! Thank you for sharing.

sangcho · May 31, 2021, 3:05am

cc @sven1977 Please comment if you know any similar issue from rllib!

I am running in my local Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 with “conda” environment, and code you posted seems to work.

RickLan · May 31, 2021, 9:48pm

@Vishnu Where is your python environment running in? Are you using conda or pyenv or something else?
