Henry Robinson commented on ZOOKEEPER-769: ------------------------------------------ Sergey - In the cfg files for nodes 3 and 5, did you include the following line? peerType=observer See http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/r3.3.0/zookeeperObservers.html for details. The observer log contains this line: 2010-05-06 22:46:00,876 - INFO [QuorumPeer:/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:2183:quorump...@642] - FOLLOWING which is a big red flag because observers should never adopt the FOLLOWING state. If I don't have that line I can reproduce your issue. If I add it, the observers work as expected. Can you check your cfg files? cheers, Henry > Leader can treat observers as quorum members > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-769 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-769 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.3.0 > Environment: Ubuntu Karmic x64 > Reporter: Sergey Doroshenko > Fix For: 3.3.0 > > Attachments: follower.log, leader.log, observer.log, zoo1.cfg > > > In short: it seems leader can treat observers as quorum members. > Steps to repro: > 1. Server configuration: 3 voters, 2 observers (attached). > 2. Bring up 2 voters and one observer. It's enough for quorum. > 3. Shut down the one from the quorum who is the follower. > As I understand, expected result is that leader will start a new election > round so that to regain quorum. > But the real situation is that it just says goodbye to that follower, and is > still operable. (When I'm shutting down 3rd one -- observer -- leader starts > trying to regain a quorum). > (Expectedly, if on step 3 we shut down the leader, not the follower, > remaining follower starta new leader election, as it should be). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
