Summary0000233: an error message: ERROR: unable to read data from frontend DETAIL: EOF encountered with frontend.
DescriptionMy environment and settings:
OpenJDK: 1.7.0_111
JDBC URL: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:9999/DBNAME?protocolVersion=2
pgpool-II: 3.5.3
postgresql: 9.5.3

When I execute an java program accessing my database, pgpool-II always complains "ERROR: unable to read data from frontend DETAIL: EOF encountered with frontend.".Though there is that error message in the log file, select and update of data in the database seems successful.

If I don't use protocolVersion=2, the error message will not appear.
But,I must use the setting for my old codes.

log(pgpool.log):

In my case JDBC driver throws errors and which is the cause of the error.

18:10:31.394 (1) Switching to UTF8 client_encoding
18:10:31.394 (1) FE=> Query("begin; set autocommit = on; set client_encoding = 'UTF8'; SET extra_float_digits=3; commit")

Note that "autocommit" was gone in PostgreSQL 9.5.0.

BTW, JDBC driver developers seem to decide to drop v2 protocol support.

Yes, It seems they will drop v2 protocol support.
davecramer(maintainer of driver) said "To be honest there shouldn't be any need to send it. New connections default to autocommit." on the url you provided.
They should know it is an issue.
But,I dont know whether they will fix it.

I want to use v3, but unfortunately, my old codes will fail.

I modified and built JDBC driver according to the code JCallico provided on the url.
The error about the parameter "autocommit" will not appear again by using the new driver.

If you would plan to debug the issue I reported, you could use the attached driver file.
postgresql-9.4.1210.jre7-SNAPSHOT.jar (685,442 bytes)

Supplement:

If I use the below url,the same error will appear too.
 * jdbc:postgresql://localhost:9999/DBNAME?stringtype=unspecified
It is v3.

My test class:

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;

public class TestClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String url = "jdbc:postgresql://xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx:9999/DBNAME?protocolVersion=3&stringtype=unspecified";
        System.out.println("-------- PostgreSQL JDBC Connection Testing ------------");
        try{
            Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
            Properties props = new Properties();
            props.setProperty("user","username");
            props.setProperty("password","password");
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);

            String sql = "select * from test_table where state=? and record_time < ?";
            PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
            pstmt.setString(1, "O");
            pstmt.setString(2, "20160819");

            ResultSet result = pstmt.executeQuery();
            System.out.println("Query Result: " + result.toString());
        }catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }finally{
            if(conn != null){
                try {
         // conn.close();
                }catch(Exception ex){
                    ex.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

if I comment out [conn.close();],

The case of commenting out [conn.close();], the logs are the same as my batch application.

I am checking which (seasar2 or postgresql driver) is sending a EOF to pgpool-ii.

By the way, could you tell me why pgpool-ii will output error logs(EOF) if recieving a EOF?
It seams the postgresql will not output error logs if it recieves a EOF.

Not reproduced here. By the way, is that really pgpool-II 3.5.3?

I don't see this on child.c:2110.

It is pgpool-II 3.5.3.

************************************************************************
[root@hostname# rpm -qa | grep -i pgpool
pgpool-II-95-3.5.3-1.rhel7.x86_64
************************************************************************

I don't know whether child.c:2110 is correct.

In the pgpool.conf, I have done the settings like the below.
Then, [LOCATION: child.c:2110] is wrote into the log file.

I uninstalled pgpool-II-95-3.5.3-1.rhel7.x86_64
and installed pgpool-II-pg95-3.5.3-1pgdg.rhel7.x86_64.

It seams error logs are same.
I think which threw errors is [pool_stream.c:261].

If you execute the Java program on the same machine pgpool-II is running on and specify the URL "localhost", do you see still the error?

>>If you execute the Java program on the same machine pgpool-II is running on and specify the URL "localhost", do you see still the error?

I specified the "localhost" in the url and executed the java test program.
The same error logs appeared.
************************************************************************
String url = "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:9999/DBNAME?protocolVersion=3&stringtype=unspecified";
************************************************************************

Through trying many times,
I understood why EOF error logs appeared after executing my application.
I have not closed the connection to the postgresql database.
If I call the method(seasar2's destory) to close the connection,
the EOF error will not appear in the pgpool log file.

It seams the EOF error will appear in the pgpool log file if not closing the connection to the postgresql database.

I will modify my appliaction and add the codes for closing the connections.

Thank you for your help!

Can you please elaborate more? So conn.close() does not actually close the connection to the PostgreSQL?

If we focus on my test java,it will maybe be simple.

In my test java(0000233:0000992) , I commented out [conn.close()].
So actually did not close the connection to the PostgreSQL.

I tried the cases like below through the test java.
case1: comment out [conn.close()]
 =>result: EOF errors appear

case2: not comment out [conn.close()]
 =>result: EOF errors not appear
