Matt Wise commented on ZOOKEEPER-1506: -------------------------------------- This is still an ongoing issue. An AWS failure last night caused us to have to restart our entire Zookeeper cluster one-node-at-a-time because of this bug. Can someone at least set a target date for it? > Re-try DNS hostname -> IP resolution if node connection fails > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-1506 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1506 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: server > Affects Versions: 3.4.5 > Environment: Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit > Reporter: Mike Heffner > Priority: Minor > > In our zoo.cfg we use hostnames to identify the ZK servers that are part of > an ensemble. These hostnames are configured with a low (<= 60s) TTL and the > IP address they map to can and does change. Our procedure for > replacing/upgrading a ZK node is to boot an entirely new instance and remap > the hostname to the new instance's IP address. Our expectation is that when > the original ZK node is terminated/shutdown, the remaining nodes in the > ensemble would reconnect to the new instance. > However, what we are noticing is that the remaining ZK nodes do not attempt > to re-resolve the hostname->IP mapping for the new server. Once the original > ZK node is terminated, the existing servers continue to attempt contacting it > at the old IP address. It would be great if the ZK servers could try to > re-resolve the hostname when attempting to connect to a lost ZK server, > instead of caching the lookup indefinitely. Currently we must do a rolling > restart of the ZK ensemble after swapping a node -- which at three nodes > means we periodically lose quorum. > The exact method we are following is to boot new instances in EC2 and attach > one, of a set of three, Elastic IP address. External to EC2 this IP address > remains the same and maps to whatever instance it is attached to. Internal to > EC2, the elastic IP hostname has a TTL of about 45-60 seconds and is remapped > to the internal (10.x.y.z) address of the instance it is attached to. > Therefore, in our case we would like ZK to pickup the new 10.x.y.z address > that the elastic IP hostname gets mapped to and reconnect appropriately. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
