Jason Brown updated CASSANDRA-13700:
------------------------------------
    Status: Ready to Commit  (was: Patch Available)

> Heartbeats can cause gossip information to go permanently missing on certain 
> nodes

>                 Key: CASSANDRA-13700
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13700
>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Distributed Metadata

> In {{Gossiper.getStateForVersionBiggerThan}}, we add the {{HeartBeatState}} 
> from the corresponding {{EndpointState}} to the {{EndpointState}} to send. 
> When we're getting state for ourselves, this means that we add a reference to 
> the local {{HeartBeatState}}. Then, once we've built a message (in either the 
> Syn or Ack handler), we send it through the {{MessagingService}}. In the case 
> that the {{MessagingService}} is sufficiently slow, the {{GossipTask}} may 
> run before serialization of the Syn or Ack. This means that when the 
> {{GossipTask}} acquires the gossip {{taskLock}}, it may increment the 
> {{HeartBeatState}} version of the local node as stored in the endpoint state 
> map. Then, when we finally serialize the Syn or Ack, we'll follow the 
> reference to the {{HeartBeatState}} and serialize it with a higher version 
> than we saw when constructing the Ack or Ack2.
> Consider the case where we see {{HeartBeatState}} with version 4 when 
> constructing an Ack and send it through the {{MessagingService}}. Then, we 
> add some piece of state with version 5 to our local {{EndpointState}}. If 
> {{GossipTask}} runs and increases the {{HeartBeatState}} version to 6 before 
> the {{MessageOut}} containing the Ack is serialized, the node receiving the 
> Ack will believe it is current to version 6, despite the fact that it has 
> never received a message containing the {{ApplicationState}} tagged with 
> version 5.
> I've reproduced in this in several versions; so far, I believe this is 
> possible in all versions.
