Slick 3.0-RC3 fails with java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException

Question

I'm trying to get familiar with Slick 3.0 and Futures (using Scala 2.11.6). I use simple code based on Slick's Multi-DB Cake Pattern example. Why does the following code terminate with an exception and how to fix it?

import scala.concurrent.Await
import scala.concurrent.duration._
import slick.jdbc.JdbcBackend.Database
import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global

class Dispatcher(db: Database, dal: DAL) {
  import dal.driver.api._

  def init() = {
    db.run(dal.create)
    try db.run(dal.stuffTable += Stuff(23,"hi"))
    finally db.close

    val x = {
      try db.run(dal.stuffTable.filter(_.serial === 23).result)
      finally db.close
    }
    // This crashes:
    val result = Await.result(x, 2 seconds)
  }
}

Execution fails with:

java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException: Task slick.backend.DatabaseComponent$DatabaseDef$$anon$2@5c73f637 rejected from java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor@4129c44c[Terminated, pool size = 0, active threads = 0, queued tasks = 0, completed tasks = 2]

I think that something is not correct in what you are trying to do: Slick's run method doesn't return Unit and doesn't fail with an exception - as it used to in previous versions. run now returns a Future, so if you want to run actions in sequence you need to flatMap the steps, or use a for-comprehension:

def init() = {
  val = results for {
    _ <- db.run(dal.create)
    _ <- db.run(dal.stuffTable += Stuff(23, "hi"))
    r <- db.run(dal.stuffTable.filter(_.serial === 23).result)
  } yield r
}

I am not sure that you really need to use db.close that way: that is actually what may be causing the error (i.e. the db is closed in concurrence with the future that runs the actual queries so the execution can't happen).

If you want to handle errors use Future's capabilities, e.g.:

result.onFailure { case NonFatal(ex) => // do something with the exception }
