user is unable to add the node back to the cluster because the failed over node is stuck in warmup phase

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 10/May/12 7:34 PM Found that indeed shutting down bucket-2 took minutes even though we (according to logs) passed force flag: [user:info] [2012-05-10 8:45:32] [ ns_1@10.1.3.77 :'ns_memcached-bucket-0':ns_memcached:terminate:296] Shutting down bucket "bucket-0" on ' ns_1@10.1.3.77 ' for deletion ...

I've seen some memcached crash on this .77 node shortly before we've started bucket deletion. So my guess is that warmup prevents force shutdown to be quick.

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 10/May/12 7:36 PM Given all that and especially that most likely this is possibly not a regression (i.e. warmup likely caused bucket deletion to be delayed on 1.8.0 as well) assigning to Frank so that we consider if this is really blocker.

Dipti Borkar added a comment - 15/May/12 7:12 PM From Farshid: doesn't seem like a regression and is a common use case that we should fix in 1.8.1. we need a fix for this.

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 15/May/12 7:43 PM Something else. We failed over node. This means we requested deletion of bucket on this node. This deletion of bucket may take some time and we normally don't care. But we don't expect it to take ages. What happens next is node is attempted to be added back while this deletion is still in progress and we refuse because we're going to re-create this bucket. But we need to complete deletion of it first. This is something we long wanted from ep-engine. We want bucket deletion to be reasonably quick. Always. If you still think we need this logic "don't start rebalance unless you can be reasonably sure it will succeed" we can work on it. It doesn't look like very trivial task though.

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 15/May/12 7:45 PM Correction "dont allow user to start rebalance unless you can reasonably sure it will succeed". Let me note that current behavior of performing all checks at the start of rebalance (after user has requested rebalance) is not very different. The difference is some potential confusion on behalf of user if rebalance fails immediately.

Dipti Borkar added a comment - 15/May/12 8:03 PM Is it easy to make it more obvious then as to why rebalance failed?

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 15/May/12 8:06 PM Isn't the following good enough?: Rebalance exited with reason {buckets_shutdown_wait_failed,                               [{' ns_1@10.1.3.77 ',                                 {'EXIT',                                  {old_buckets_shutdown_wait_failed,                                   ["bucket-2","bucket-1","bucket-0",                                    "bucket-4","bucket-3"]}}}]}

Dipti Borkar added a comment - 15/May/12 8:41 PM Thanks Aliaksey. I understand this issue better now. Let's see what can be done in ep_engine.

Farshid Ghods added a comment - 15/May/12 8:56 PM ns-server should send bucket-deletion request to the memcached which is waming up and ep-engine should abort warmup process and continue with bucket deletion

Dipti Borkar added a comment - 17/May/12 7:56 PM Chiyoung, can you estimate the level of change needed to support this? How risky are these changes?

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 17/May/12 8:00 PM BTW, do we have reliable evidence that bucket deletion was delayed because of warmup in this particular case? I.e. I know warmup is _likely_ in progress but that's all I know about this bucket deletion.

Farshid Ghods added a comment - 17/May/12 8:04 PM yes we have confirmed that warmup process was going on and bucket deletion causes the whole thing to hang. if it helps we can get gdb backtrace when this is happening but given that this was seen many times by QE/customers i think we can safely assume thats the case.

Chiyoung Seo added a comment - 25/May/12 1:25 PM Can the ns_server move the database files or delete them directly before the failedover node is added back?

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 25/May/12 1:26 PM we do delete files. But after bucket shutdown is complete

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 25/May/12 1:29 PM we have patch for 1.8 that will make memcached exit immediately without shutting down buckets when failover happens. That could be easy treatment for this problem

Chiyoung Seo added a comment - 25/May/12 1:55 PM I'm a little confused now. Why the failed over node is warmed up again? Anyway, if the ns-server already has the patch for this issue, can I close this bug?

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 25/May/12 2:00 PM memcached crashed before node was failed over. Then ns_server restarted memcached and recreated buckets. And they started warming up. Then node was failed over. ns_server deletes all buckets (with force flag set to true) but that takes long time seemingly because of warm up. And that prevents rebalance back in. Because before starting rebalance we now wait for pending bucket deletions to complete. The patch I mentioned is against memcached. The idea is when we detect failover we ask memcached to just exit without any cleanup. I don't know why but Farshid and Dipti wanted ep-engine to be fixed. Given 2.0 and 1.8.1 warmup is very different I question whether we really need that btw.

Farshid Ghods added a comment - 25/May/12 2:05 PM >>The idea is when we detect failover we ask memcached to just exit without any cleanup. is this like kill -9 ?

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 25/May/12 2:10 PM yes. But works on windows too

Farshid Ghods added a comment - 25/May/12 2:41 PM ok so if this is a force kill then we dont have to fix this on ep-engine. for this specific issue all we care about it the end user experience and if user will be able to add the node back to the cluster without any issues and your patch takes care of it so we can close this bug

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 25/May/12 7:02 PM Patches backported and uploaded to gerrit. I can rubberstamp ns_server's patches. But not memcached.

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 29/May/12 5:21 PM Should be fixed now with memcached & ns_server side merged
