Prioritize alive message over other messages #159
Conversation
Good stuff. Nice use of LIFO. |
@armon Hmm you merged #158 but this PR diff still shows the changes introduced there. I rebased it locally and force pushed so you'll need to fetch/checkout again locally if you do more. I also couldn't get test suite to pass at all locally due to some things that were order-dependent or broken by changes to Go (vet warnings that now fail tests) so some random fixes that at least get it to pass... sometimes. Still lots of flaky timeouts but I have some confidence this is OK now at least. |
This includes fixes that improve gossip scalability on very large (> 10k node) clusters. The Serf changes: - take snapshot disk IO out of the critical path for handling messages hashicorp/serf#524 - make snapshot compaction much less aggressive - the old fixed threshold caused snapshots to be constantly compacted (synchronously with request handling) on clusters larger than about 2000 nodes! hashicorp/serf#525 Memberlist changes: - prioritize handling alive messages over suspect/dead to improve stability, and handle queue in LIFO order to avoid acting on info that 's already stale in the queue by the time we handle it. hashicorp/memberlist#159 - limit the number of concurrent pushPull requests being handled at once to 128. In one test scenario with 10s of thousands of servers we saw channel and lock blocking cause over 3000 pushPulls at once which ballooned the memory of the server because each push pull contained a de-serialised list of all known 10k+ nodes and their tags for a total of about 60 million objects and 7GB of memory stuck. While the rest of the fixes here should prevent the same root cause from blocking in the same way, this prevents any other bug or source of contention from allowing pushPull messages to stack up and eat resources. hashicorp/memberlist#158

This PR modifies the way UDP messages are handled to add message priorities. Previously, all messages would be decoded and added FIFO to the handoff queue. Under high pressure, delayed message processing can cause flapping in the cluster. By prioritizing alive messages we minimize the churn by ensuring timely processing and allowing us to ignore older suspect / dead messages.
We add two linked lists, a low and high priority queue. Each queue is LIFO, and we always check the high priority queue for work first. LIFO ordering is preferred to ensure more recent messages are processed first when there is slow processing to avoid churn.
Depends on #158
