This was a common source of problems among users.
The solution adopted is not bullet-proof as if the user deletes the
nodes.conf file manually, and starts a new instance with the same
nodes.conf file path, two instances will use the same file. However
following this reasoning the user may drop a nuclear bomb into the
datacenter as well.
adjustOpenFilesLimit() and clusterUpdateSlotsWithConfig() that were
assuming uint64_t is the same as unsigned long long, which is true
probably for all the systems out there that we target, but still GCC
emitted a warning since technically they are two different types.
This is not really an error but something that always happens for
example when creating a new cluster, or if the sysadmin rejoins manually
a node that is already known.
Since useless logs don't help, moved to VERBOSE level.
New config epochs must always be obtained incrementing the currentEpoch,
that is itself guaranteed to be >= the max configEpoch currently known
to the node.
The slave election in Redis Cluster guarantees that slaves promoted to
masters always end with unique config epochs, however failures during
manual reshardings, software bugs and operational errors may in theory
cause two nodes to have the same configEpoch.
This commit introduces a mechanism to eventually always end with different
configEpochs if a collision ever happens.
As a (wanted) side effect, this also ensures that after a new cluster
is created, all nodes will end with a different configEpoch automatically.
By manually modifying nodes configurations in random ways, it is possible
to create the following scenario:
A is serving keys for slot 10
B is manually configured to serve keys for slot 10
A receives an update from B (or another node) where it is informed that
the slot 10 is now claimed by B with a greater configuration epoch,
however A still has keys from slot 10.
With this commit A will put the slot in error setting it in IMPORTING
state, so that redis-trib can detect the issue.
This API originated from the "diskstore" experiment, not for Redis
Cluster itself, so there were legacy/useless things trying to
differentiate between keys that are going to be overwritten and keys
that need to be fetched from disk (preloaded).
All useless with Cluster, so removed with the result of code
simplification.
The code was already correct but it was using that bindaddr[0] is set to
NULL as a side effect of current implementation if no bind address is
configured. This is not guarnteed to hold true in the future.
When node-timeout is too small, in the order of a few milliseconds,
there is no way the voting process can terminate during that time, so we
set a lower limit for the failover timeout of two seconds.
The retry time is set to two times the failover timeout time, so it is
at least 4 seconds.
The first address specified as a bind parameter
(server.bindaddr[0]) gets used as the source IP
for cluster communication.
If no bind address is specified by the user, the
behavior is unchanged.
This patch allows multiple Redis Cluster instances
to communicate when running on the same interface
of the same host.
The default cluster control port is 10,000 ports higher than
the base Redis port. If Redis is started on a too-high port,
Cluster can't start and everything will exit later anyway.
This is still code to rework in order to use agreement to obtain a new
configEpoch when a slot is migrated, however this commit handles the
special case that happens when the nodes are just started and everybody
has a configEpoch of 0. In this special condition to have the maximum
configEpoch is not enough as the special epoch 0 is not unique (all the
others are).
This does not fixes the intrinsic race condition of a failover happening
while we are resharding, that will be addressed later.
Avoid to trash a configEpoch for every slot migrated if this node has
already the max configEpoch across the cluster.
Still work to do in this area but this avoids both ending with a very
high configEpoch without any reason and to flood the system with fsyncs.
The actual goal of the function was to get the max configEpoch found in
the cluster, so make it general by removing the assignment of the max
epoch to currentEpoch that is useful only at startup.
Removed a stale conditional preventing the configEpoch from incrementing
after the import in certain conditions. Since the master got a new slot
it should always claim a new configuration.
The node receiving the hash slot needs to have a version that wins over
the other versions in order to force the ownership of the slot.
However the current code is far from perfect since a failover can happen
during the manual resharding. The fix is a work in progress but the
bottom line is that the new version must either be voted as usually,
set by redis-trib manually after it makes sure can't be used by other
nodes, or reserved configEpochs could be used for manual operations (for
example odd versions could be never used by slaves and are always used
by CLUSTER SETSLOT NODE).
During slots migration redis-trib can send a number of SETSLOT commands.
Fsyncing every time is a bit too much in production as verified
empirically.
To make sure configs are fsynced on all nodes after a resharding
redis-trib may send something like CLUSTER CONFSYNC.
In this case fsyncs were not providing too much value since anyway
processes can crash in the middle of the resharding of an hash slot, and
redis-trib should be able to recover from this condition anyway.
If the slot is manually assigned to another node, clear the migrating
status regardless of the fact it was previously assigned to us or not,
as long as we no longer have keys for this slot.
This avoid a race during slots migration that may leave the slot in
migrating status in the source node, since it received an update message
from the destination node that is already claiming the slot.
This way we are sure that redis-trib at the end of the slot migration is
always able to close the slot correctly.
Currently this is marginally useful, only to make sure two keys are in
the same hash slot when the cluster is stable (no rehashing in
progress).
In the future it is possible that support will be added to run
mutli-keys operations with keys in the same hash slot.
