---------------------------------

             Summary: Qpid HA cluster does not support failback in an ordered 
domain.
                 Key: QPID-5007
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-5007
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++ Clustering
    Affects Versions: 0.22
            Reporter: Alan Conway
            Assignee: Alan Conway


rgmanager has the notion of an ordered domain, where it will try to start 
services on the highest priority node in the domain.
(see https://fedorahosted.org/cluster/wiki/FailoverDomains) 

The problem arises like this:

- start a 2 node cluster with an ordered domain. 
- Create a queue and put and put enough messages on so that catchup takes 
longer than the time to restart node1
- kill node1, rgmanager relocates qpidd-primary service to node2
- immediately restart node1
- rgmanager wants to relocate the service to node1 so it:
  - kills the primary on node2 as first step of relocation
  - attempts to restart the primary on node1 which fails
because it is still in catchup and there is no primary to catch up
from.
- at this point we get into an infinite loop of failed attempts to
restart the primary.

The workaround is to set the nofailback option on the domain.
