Spring websocket heartbeat Broken pipe IOException

Question

I'm using spring-boot-starter-websocket with Spring Boot 1.5.3.RELEASE. I get tons of logs when sockjs is trying to perform a heartbeat task. Somehow the connection is lost in the way. This article says its closed (according to JIRA), but I'm still having the same kind of issue.

Here is my config

@Configuration 
@EnableWebSocketMessageBroker 
public class WebSocketConfig extends AbstractWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer {
        
    @Bean
    WebSocketHandler getWsHandler() {
        return new WebSocketHandler();
    }

    @Override
    public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry config) {
        config.enableSimpleBroker("/topic");
    }

    @Override
    public void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry registry) {
        registry.addEndpoint("/ws").setAllowedOrigins("*").withSockJS();
    } 
}

Here are the logs

2017-07-11 15:10:23.753 INFO 7574 --- [MessageBroker-4] o.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor : An error occurred in processing while on a non-container thread. The connection will be closed immediately
