etcdserver: adjust election timeout on restart #9415

gyuho · 2018-03-09T00:10:42Z

Address #9333 with simpler logic.

Single-node restart with no snapshot does not need special handling, because itself will be elected as leader, by the time peer connection report wait times out.

Fresh start 1-node cluster

15:45:34.940350 I | etcdserver: 8e9e05c52164694d as single-node; fast-forwarding 9 ticks (election ticks 10)
15:45:34.940911 I | etcdserver/membership: added member 8e9e05c52164694d [http://localhost:2380] to cluster cdf818194e3a8c32
15:45:35.233465 I | raft: 8e9e05c52164694d is starting a new election at term 1
15:45:35.233525 I | raft: 8e9e05c52164694d became candidate at term 2
15:45:35.233559 I | raft: 8e9e05c52164694d received MsgVoteResp from 8e9e05c52164694d at term 2
15:45:35.233596 I | raft: 8e9e05c52164694d became leader at term 2

15:47:29.194451 I | etcdserver: 8e9e05c52164694d as single-node; fast-forwarding 9 ticks (election ticks 10)

Leader gets elected while waiting for peer connection report timeouts, so no side-effect.

Fresh start 3-node

node A:

~~15:53:47.895306 I | etcdserver: 7339c4e5e833c029 waited 5s but no active peer found (or restarted 1-node cluster); currently, 3 member(s)~~

15:53:49.991580 I | raft: 7339c4e5e833c029 became leader at term 6

node B:

15:54:02.194297 I | etcdserver: b548c2511513015 initialzed peer connection; fast-forwarding 8 ticks (election ticks 10) with 2 active peer(s)
15:54:02.197587 I | raft: b548c2511513015 [term: 1] received a MsgHeartbeat message with higher term from 7339c4e5e833c029 [term: 6]

No side-effect.

Rejoining to 3-node cluster with snapshot

16:01:12.800882 I | rafthttp: peer 729934363faa4a24 became active
16:01:12.800894 I | etcdserver: 7339c4e5e833c029 initialzed peer connection; fast-forwarding 8 ticks (election ticks 10) with 2 active peer(s)
16:01:12.857434 I | raft: raft.node: 7339c4e5e833c029 elected leader 729934363faa4a24 at term 7

Peer connection is notified and advance with adjusted ticks.
Previously, it advanced 9 ticks with only one tick left. Now, advances 8 ticks.

Rejoining to 3-node cluster with no snapshot

why this needs to be async? can we start the network first? then wait here? then decide to advance ticks or not. then start the raft routine?

also if it works like what i described, we do not need the lock to protect the tick.

It needs to be async, since we start peer handler in embed package, after we create etcd server here.

Addressed others. PTAL.

well... actually, an easy way to solve this problem is to have a for loop to loop over the peer status and check if active is true.

for p := range peers { if p.status.isActive() { // send to chan } }

Even better:

InitialPeerNotify() -> ActivePeers()

ActivePeers simply calculate how many peers are active. we move the for loop thing to the raft node side in etcdserver pkg to wait for the first active peer.

we can reuse activeSince. if it is smaller than current, it it is active, right?

So, we are ready to publish another set of patch releases.

Let's coordinate at #9411.

Any day this week works for me.

Out of curiosity, any reason for pointer here? My understanding is that pointers are not typically needed for sync.Mutex.

I'm planning to backport this to 3.1 without a pointer since that removes the need to initialize the mutex, which simplifies the backport: https://github.com/coreos/etcd/pull/9500/files#diff-8c6a0ae3bb0763acd9c96a35d89131feR99
