ClassCastException - [B cannot be cast to java.lang.Long

I am using Jesque which uses Jedis as its Redis client, so I am not entirely sure if this is an issue in Jedis or Jesque.

I am receiving this error:

java.lang.ClassCastException

[B cannot be cast to java.lang.Long
    at redis.clients.jedis.Connection.getIntegerReply(Connection.java:178)

    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:679)

I read that Jedis isnt thread-safe and in fact I dont try to re-use any Jedis clients in my Threads, I create new instances (I am refactoring this to use JedisPool).

The exception is not consistently reproducible.

I really don’t know nothing about Gresque and how it uses Jedis underneath. But I am almost 100% sure that this error is because of reusing jedis instance from different threads. If you are using JedisPool, make sure to return Jedis either using returnResource or returnBrokenResource. Also if you are opening a pipeline, remember to close it before returning the resource to the pool. Try to find a script that reproduce this error and send it to me!

I got the exact same error a couple times an hour when I used the same connection in a runnable called 20ms later. This is what I originally had.

try (Jedis jedis = pool.getResource()) {
    jedis.hgetAll("test").forEach((key, val) -> {
        // Project-specific runnable that's executed 20ms later (some code is redacted)
        @Override public void run() {
            jedis.hgetAll("test2").forEach((key2, val2) -> { // This is the line that had the error
                // Stuff that uses these keys/values
            }
        }
    }
} catch (Exception e) {/*Log error*/}

I changed it to this and it’s been working flawlessly for a few days now.

try (Jedis jedis = pool.getResource()) {
    jedis.hgetAll("test").forEach((key, val) -> {
        // Project-specific runnable that's executed 20ms later (some code is redacted)
        @Override public void run() {
            try (Jedis jedis2 = pool.getResource()) {
                jedis2.hgetAll("test2").forEach((key2, val2) -> {
                    // Stuff that uses these keys/values
                }
            } catch (Exception e2) {/*Log error*/}
        }
    }
} catch (Exception e) {/*Log error*/}

@hozouhing @AmaranthLIS I’m not sure what your situation is, but if you’re using the same connection more than once then I would try getting a new one. It seems like (at least in my case), it’s a usage error rather than a bug in Jedis.
