Paulo Motta commented on CASSANDRA-8523: ---------------------------------------- Thanks! This will be ready to commit after [PR|https://github.com/riptano/cassandra-dtest/pull/1155] is reviewed and merged. I rebased with the updated dtests and submitted a new CI run: ||2.2||3.0||trunk|| |[branch|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/compare/cassandra-2.2...pauloricardomg:2.2-8523]|[branch|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/compare/cassandra-3.0...pauloricardomg:3.0-8523]|[branch|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/compare/trunk...pauloricardomg:trunk-8523]| |[testall|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/paulomotta/job/pauloricardomg-2.2-8523-testall/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/]|[testall|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/paulomotta/job/pauloricardomg-3.0-8523-testall/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/]|[testall|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/paulomotta/job/pauloricardomg-trunk-8523-testall/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/]| |[dtest|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/paulomotta/job/pauloricardomg-2.2-8523-dtest/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/]|[dtest|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/paulomotta/job/pauloricardomg-3.0-8523-dtest/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/]|[dtest|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/Dev/view/paulomotta/job/pauloricardomg-trunk-8523-dtest/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/]| > Writes should be sent to a replacement node while it is streaming in data > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8523 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8523 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Richard Wagner > Assignee: Paulo Motta > Fix For: 2.1.x > > > In our operations, we make heavy use of replace_address (or > replace_address_first_boot) in order to replace broken nodes. We now realize > that writes are not sent to the replacement nodes while they are in hibernate > state and streaming in data. This runs counter to what our expectations were, > especially since we know that writes ARE sent to nodes when they are > bootstrapped into the ring. > It seems like cassandra should arrange to send writes to a node that is in > the process of replacing another node, just like it does for a nodes that are > bootstraping. I hesitate to phrase this as "we should send writes to a node > in hibernate" because the concept of hibernate may be useful in other > contexts, as per CASSANDRA-8336. Maybe a new state is needed here? > Among other things, the fact that we don't get writes during this period > makes subsequent repairs more expensive, proportional to the number of writes > that we miss (and depending on the amount of data that needs to be streamed > during replacement and the time it may take to rebuild secondary indexes, we > could miss many many hours worth of writes). It also leaves us more exposed > to consistency violations. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
