SQS input plugin won't restart

[karnauskas]

Logstash stops reading from SQS but is still running. Error message says plugin is restarting but nothing actually happen.

... :message=>"A plugin had an unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin.\n Plugin: <LogStash::Inputs::S3 type=>"elb", credentials=>.... region_endpoint=>"eu-west-1", tags=>["s3"]>\n Error: Socket closed", :level=>:error}

[jsvd]

this is likely due to input workers calling teardown before retry
since sqs checks for running?, at that point the plugin instance is not usable anymore https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-sqs/blob/master/lib/logstash/inputs/sqs.rb#L114

This will be fixed as a result of #2477

Is this still an issue?

[karnauskas]

Hah, dunno, I think we took different approach after we found this problem - not sure how it is now.

Closing then, as #2477 is the proposed fix.
