The first address specified as a bind parameter
(server.bindaddr[0]) gets used as the source IP
for cluster communication.
If no bind address is specified by the user, the
behavior is unchanged.
This patch allows multiple Redis Cluster instances
to communicate when running on the same interface
of the same host.
This is still code to rework in order to use agreement to obtain a new
configEpoch when a slot is migrated, however this commit handles the
special case that happens when the nodes are just started and everybody
has a configEpoch of 0. In this special condition to have the maximum
configEpoch is not enough as the special epoch 0 is not unique (all the
others are).
This does not fixes the intrinsic race condition of a failover happening
while we are resharding, that will be addressed later.
The default cluster control port is 10,000 ports higher than
the base Redis port. If Redis is started on a too-high port,
Cluster can't start and everything will exit later anyway.
Avoid to trash a configEpoch for every slot migrated if this node has
already the max configEpoch across the cluster.
Still work to do in this area but this avoids both ending with a very
high configEpoch without any reason and to flood the system with fsyncs.
The actual goal of the function was to get the max configEpoch found in
the cluster, so make it general by removing the assignment of the max
epoch to currentEpoch that is useful only at startup.
Removed a stale conditional preventing the configEpoch from incrementing
after the import in certain conditions. Since the master got a new slot
it should always claim a new configuration.
The node receiving the hash slot needs to have a version that wins over
the other versions in order to force the ownership of the slot.
However the current code is far from perfect since a failover can happen
during the manual resharding. The fix is a work in progress but the
bottom line is that the new version must either be voted as usually,
set by redis-trib manually after it makes sure can't be used by other
nodes, or reserved configEpochs could be used for manual operations (for
example odd versions could be never used by slaves and are always used
by CLUSTER SETSLOT NODE).
During slots migration redis-trib can send a number of SETSLOT commands.
Fsyncing every time is a bit too much in production as verified
empirically.
To make sure configs are fsynced on all nodes after a resharding
redis-trib may send something like CLUSTER CONFSYNC.
In this case fsyncs were not providing too much value since anyway
processes can crash in the middle of the resharding of an hash slot, and
redis-trib should be able to recover from this condition anyway.
If the slot is manually assigned to another node, clear the migrating
status regardless of the fact it was previously assigned to us or not,
as long as we no longer have keys for this slot.
This avoid a race during slots migration that may leave the slot in
migrating status in the source node, since it received an update message
from the destination node that is already claiming the slot.
This way we are sure that redis-trib at the end of the slot migration is
always able to close the slot correctly.
Currently this is marginally useful, only to make sure two keys are in
the same hash slot when the cluster is stable (no rehashing in
progress).
In the future it is possible that support will be added to run
mutli-keys operations with keys in the same hash slot.
When a slave requests masters vote for a manual failover, the
REQUEST_AUTH message is flagged in a special way in order to force the
masters to give the authorization even if the master is not marked as
failing.
The check was placed in a way that conflicted with the continue
statements used by the node hearth beat code later that needs to skip
the current node sometimes. Moved at the start of the function so that's
always executed.
This feature allows slaves to migrate to orphaned masters (masters
without working slaves), as long as a set of conditions are met,
including the fact that the migrating slave needs to be in a
master-slaves ring with at least another slave working.
When we schedule a failover, broadcast a PONG to the slaves.
The other slaves that plan to get elected will do the same too, this way
it is likely that every slave will have a good picture of its own rank.
Note that this is N*N messages where N is the number of slaves for the
failing master, however usually even large clusters have many master
nodes but a limited number of replicas per node, so this is harmless.
Note that when we compute the initial delay, there are probably still
more up to date information to receive from slaves with new offsets, so
the delay is recomputed when new data is available.
Return the number of slaves for the same master having a better
replication offset of the current slave, that is, the slave "rank" used
to pick a delay before the request for election.
Accessing to the 'myself' node, the node representing the currently
running instance, is handy without the need to type
server.cluster->myself every time.
The two fields are used in order to remember the latest known
replication offset and the time we received it from other slave nodes.
This will be used by slaves in order to start the election procedure
with a delay that is proportional to the rank of the slave among the
other slaves for this master, when sorted for replication offset.
Usually this allows the slave with the most updated offset to win the
election and replace the failing master in the cluster.
One of the simple heuristics used by Redis Cluster in order to avoid
losing data in the typical failure modes created by the asynchronous
replication with the slaves (a master is unable, when accepting a
write, to immediately tell if it should be really accepted or refused
because of a configuration change), is to wait some time before to
rejoin the cluster after being partitioned away from the majority of
instances.
A similar condition happens when a master is restarted. It does not know
if it was already failed over, nor if all the clients have already an
updated configuration about the cluster map, so it is possible that
clients will try to write to stale masters that were restarted.
In a similar way this commit changes masters behavior so they wait
2000 milliseconds before accepting writes after a reboot. There is
nothing special about 2 seconds if not to be a value supposedly larger
a few orders of magnitude compared to the cluster bus communication
latencies.
The code was doing checks for slaves that should be done only when the
instance is currently a master. Switching a slave from a master to
another one should just work.
