-------------------------------------------
Summary: Allow node to reject internode messages that create work
for the MUTATION stage
Key: CASSANDRA-17324
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17324
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Messaging/Internode
Reporter: Caleb Rackliffe
Assignee: Caleb Rackliffe
When a node is struggling under the weight of a compaction backlog and becomes
a cause of increased read latency for clients, we have two safety valves:
1.) Disabling the native protocol server, which stops the node from
coordinating reads and writes.
2.) Jacking up the severity on the node, which tells the dynamic snitch to
avoid the node for reads from other coordinators.
These are useful, but we don’t appear to have any mechanism that would allow us
to temporarily reject internode hint, batch, and mutation messages that could
further delay resolution of the compaction backlog. There is a parameter in
{{cassandra.yaml}} called {{hinted_handoff_throttle}} (formerly
{{hinted_handoff_throttle_in_kb}}) that allows us to control the rate at which
we read hints before they are delivered, but how fast that should happen and
whether it should happen at all are two different questions.
The proposal here is to add this rejection mechanism and publish it via JMX,
along with any metrics and logging that would be necessary to make its effects
visible. (Ex. Hint delivery already has metrics around success, failure, and
timeouts, which would be helpful around this.) The error-handling pathways for
hints, writes, and batches should already be capable of handling one more type
of error (i.e. “that replica is overloaded”), but some non-spammy logging
around that probably wouldn’t hurt.
In implementation space, one idea that would minimize the amount of surgery we
need to do is making the decision around whether to send back a failure message
directly in {{InboundSink}}. This would avoid having to duplicate the logic in
multiple downstream handlers.
