Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-4288. --------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed changed to info and committed. > prevent thrift server from starting before gossip has settled > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4288 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4288 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Peter Schuller > Assignee: Chris Burroughs > Fix For: 2.0.5 > > Attachments: CASSANDRA-4288-trunk.txt, j4288-1.2-v1-txt, > j4288-1.2-v2-txt, j4288-1.2-v3.txt > > > A serious problem is that there is no co-ordination whatsoever between gossip > and the consumers of gossip. In particular, on a large cluster with hundreds > of nodes, it takes several seconds for gossip to settle because the gossip > stage is CPU bound. This leads to a node starting up and accessing thrift > traffic long before it has any clue of what up and down. This leads to > client-visible timeouts (for nodes that are down but not identified as such) > and UnavailableException (for nodes that are up but not yet identified as > such). This is really bad in general, but in particular for clients doing > non-idempotent writes (counter increments). > I was going to fix this as part of more significant re-writing in other > tickets having to do with gossip/topology/etc, but that's not going to > happen. So, the attached patch is roughly what we're running with in > production now to make restarts bearable. The minimum wait time is both for > ensuring that gossip has time to start becoming CPU bound if it will be, and > the reason it's large is to allow for down nodes to be identified as such in > most typical cases with a default phi conviction threshold (untested, we > actually ran with a smaller number of 5 seconds minimum, but from past > experience I believe 15 seconds is enough). > The patch is tested on our 1.1 branch. It applies on trunk, and the diff is > against trunk, but I have not tested it against trunk. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
