In 2.21 the architecture is different, collector will establish one connection 
to one cassandra server per generator. If that fails, it will retry the next 
server. This is evident from the collector logs. It seems that you are getting 
TimedOutException which suggests your single remaining cassandra node might be 
getting overloaded.

If you check using netstat -anp for contrail-collector pid you should be seeing 
connections to the 10.10.10.5 cassandra node.

Hi Megh,

My scenario is very simple,

My setup : Devstack - Mitaka
                   Contrail : 2.21.x

I have configured the cassandra cluster with two nodes, and specified those in 
the contrail-collector.conf file

cloud@contrail:/etc/cassandra$ cat /etc/contrail/contrail-collector.conf

[DEFAULT]
log_local = 1
log_level = SYS_DEBUG
cassandra_server_list = 10.10.10.5:9160 10.10.10.4:9160
hostname = contrail
hostip = 10.10.10.6

[DISCOVERY]
port = 5998
server = 10.10.10.6
cloud@contrail:/etc/cassandra$

Collector establishes the communication with 10.10.10.4, and works well.

I purposefully down the 10.10.10.4 cassandra server.  I expect contrail-control 
continue to work with 10.10.10.5 cassandra server.
But contrail-control keeps trying to connect  with 10.10.10.4 and fails to 
connect.


Note:
1. Collector establishes the communication with only one server(10.10.10.4)  
out of two mentioned.


collector logs are attached for debugging.

Thanks
suresh

Subject: Re: [opencontrail-dev] cassandra server switchover

Hi Suresh,
cassandra supports active/active or cluster consisting of multiple active nodes 
and hence we can provide list of IP addresses to contrail-collector. 
contrail-collector simultaneously connects to all the cassandra servers and 
will handle cassandra server failures.

Thanks

Hi,

In the contrail-collector config file, we can specify multiple cassandra 
servers.
What is the purpose of it ?


contrail-collecter.conf snippet

# IP address and port to be used to connect to cassandra.
# Multiple IP:port strings separated by space can be provided
# cassandra_server_list=127.0.0.1:9042

Does contrail support  server switchover, I  mean when the current server is 
not reachable, will it switch to the new server(mentioned in the config) ?

Thanks
suresh
