[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-8182) Asynchronous commands should be retried if topology is outdated

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-8182?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Galder Zamarreño commented on ISPN-8182: ---------------------------------------- A couple of IRC discussions we've had so far: {code} [15:52:15] > pruivo: dberindei: it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts about ISPN-8182 [15:53:47] <dberindei> galderz: I don't think it's feasible, the originator forgets the command immediately after sending it to the owners [15:54:29] <dberindei> galderz: OTOH I don't think the remote nodes should throw an OutdatedTopologyException if the command is async [15:54:50] <pruivo> dberindei, galderz well, IMO I don't think we should do it. If you want to apply and update async, use the putAsync() [15:55:29] > rvansa: FYI ^ [15:55:55] <dberindei> pruivo: but you agree that in DIST_ASYNC, remote nodes throwing OTE is a bug, right? [15:56:05] > dberindei: we already supply custom interceptors for HB 2L, so we could try to do that: not bothering about outdated topologies [15:57:14] > pruivo: i guess you mean that putAsync() would retry in case of outdated topology? [15:57:16] <pruivo> dberindei, more or less. I think it should check if it is an owner or not. throwing the exception definitely isn't needed [15:57:42] <rvansa> dberindei: I think that the topology check in DI does not care if the cache is async [15:57:42] <pruivo> galderz, yes, if I'm not mistaken, it is a sync put in a separate threads (with the benefits of sync mode) [15:57:51] <rvansa> dberindei: if it does not match, it simply throws [15:58:00] <dberindei> rvansa: ok, that's a bug [15:58:39] <rvansa> dberindei: it shouldn't ignore it either, IMO... everything below STI should be executed in the same topology, IMO [15:59:37] > dberindei: what's the bug? [16:00:32] <rvansa> dberindei: I think that the DI should rather send the command to proper primary owner in the recent topology [16:00:55] <rvansa> dberindei: if this node is meant as primary {code} And: {code} <rvansa> galderz: I think that you shouldn't need to catch - the OTE does not have to be thrown at all and query, we can just simply ignore any topology checks... <rvansa> galderz: not only for our own interceptor, it's a general infinispan issue <rvansa> galderz: yesterday before the meeting I've suggested that async commands should just execute if these are still on the owner <rvansa> galderz: yes <rvansa> galderz: in async mode, after you call cache.put(k, v2), all owners should eventually contain v2 <rvansa> galderz: unless 'error' happens <rvansa> galderz: topology change (node joining) is not an error <rvansa> galderz: actually, throwing and retrying locally might be needed - I would prefer to fix topology for a given command below STI and retry if it changes in any place we need to consider it <rvansa> galderz: that's a cozy invariant; not sure if it's really needed here <rvansa> galderz: anyway, regrettably we don't have any plan so far how to make the 'eventually' happen <rvansa> galderz: because if a new owner pops up and fetches data from node that did not get the update yet, its version would be stale <jbossbot> jira [ISPN-8182] Asynchronous commands should be retried if topology is outdated [New (Unresolved) Enhancement, Major, Core, Unassigned] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-8182 <rvansa> galderz: quick fix would be just not throwing <rvansa> galderz: + a set of stress tests that will try out this with all combos of primary/backup/non-owner transitions to see if anything goes wrong <rvansa> 'wrong' meaning NPEs and such, stale data should be expected in thos <rvansa> those *** First activity: dberindei joined 33 minutes 16 seconds ago. <dberindei> galderz rvansa: indeed, if a new node joins OR a node leaves, some keys will have new owners, and those owners may or may not receive the updated value as now really <dberindei> galderz: the fact that we currently check the topology id and throw an exception means the update will can be missed on owners that aren't new <dberindei> galderz: say in topology 1 k is owned by AB, and in topology 2 it's owned by CB <dberindei> galderz: C would be a new owner, B would be "non-new" :) async puts? or should still be thrown and then retried? <dberindei> galderz: throwing and catching would be nice because the only change would be in StateTransferInterceptor (I think) seeing that it all works fine for repl async puts? {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
