Now both master and replicas keep track of the last replication offset that contains meaningful data (ignoring the tailing pings), and both trim that tail from the replication backlog, and the offset with which they try to use for psync. the implication is that if someone missed some pings, or even have excessive pings that the promoted replica has, it'll still be able to psync (avoid full sync). the downside (which was already committed) is that replicas running old code may fail to psync, since the promoted replica trims pings form it's backlog. This commit adds a test that reproduces several cases of promotions and demotions with stale and non-stale pings Background: The mearningful offset on the master was added recently to solve a problem were the master is left all alone, injecting PINGs into it's backlog when no one is listening and then gets demoted and tries to replicate from a replica that didn't have any of the PINGs (or at least not the last ones). however, consider this case: master A has two replicas (B and C) replicating directly from it. there's no traffic at all, and also no network issues, just many pings in the tail of the backlog. now B gets promoted, A becomes a replica of B, and C remains a replica of A. when A gets demoted, it trims the pings from its backlog, and successfully replicate from B. however, C is still aware of these PINGs, when it'll disconnect and re-connect to A, it'll ask for something that's not in the backlog anymore (since A trimmed the tail of it's backlog), and be forced to do a full sync (something it didn't have to do before the meaningful offset fix). Besides that, the psync2 test was always failing randomly here and there, it turns out the reason were PINGs. Investigating it shows the following scenario: cycle 1: redis #1 is master, and all the rest are direct replicas of #1 cycle 2: redis #2 is promoted to master, #1 is a replica of #2 and #3 is replica of #1 now we see that when #1 is demoted it prints: 17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:38.523 * Using the meaningful offset 3929963 instead of 3929977 to exclude the final PINGs (14 bytes difference) 17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:39.391 * Trying a partial resynchronization (request e2b3f8817735fdfe5fa4626766daa938b61419e5:3929964). 17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:39.392 * Successful partial resynchronization with master. and when #3 connects to the demoted #2, #2 says: 17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:40.084 * Partial resynchronization not accepted: Requested offset for secondary ID was 3929978, but I can reply up to 3929964 so the issue here is that the meaningful offset feature saved the day for the demoted master (since it needs to sync from a replica that didn't get the last ping), but it didn't help one of the other replicas which did get the last ping. |
