Not sure if I've experienced an intermittent but severe defect, or if I did something wrong when attempting this yesterday.
I followed the exact same steps today, and the new instance *did* successfully join. Either I'm wrong, and I actually did something differently yesterday, or this is an intermittent defect and a big bummer. I'll keep trying to reproduce. Here is the log output from one of the instances that was already in the cluster when the new one joined: ************************** 09.01.2017 16:20:36.062 *INFO* [DocumentDiscoveryLiteService-BackgroundWorker-[1]] org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.document.DocumentDiscoveryLiteService doCheckView: view has changed from: a ClusterView[valid=true, viewSeqNum=2, clusterViewId=ae406105-3c77-4498-b8fc-1557b012d46d, activeIds=1,2, recoveringIds=null, inactiveIds=null] to: a ClusterView[valid=true, viewSeqNum=3, clusterViewId=ae406105-3c77-4498-b8fc-1557b012d46d, activeIds=1, recoveringIds=null, inactiveIds=2] - sending event... 09.01.2017 16:20:36.063 *INFO* [DocumentDiscoveryLiteService-BackgroundWorker-[1]] org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.document.DocumentDiscoveryLiteService checkView: view changed from: a ClusterView[{"seq":2,"final":true,"id":"ae406105-3c77-4498-b8fc-1557b012d46d","me":1,"active":[1,2],"deactivating":[],"inactive":[]}], to: a ClusterView[{"seq":3,"final":false,"id":"ae406105-3c77-4498-b8fc-1557b012d46d","me":1,"active":[1],"deactivating":[2],"inactive":[]}], hasInstancesWithBacklog: true 09.01.2017 16:20:37.168 *INFO* [Thread-31] org.apache.sling.discovery.impl.DiscoveryServiceImpl enqueueForAll: sending PROPERTIES_CHANGED to all listeners (oldView=TopologyViewImpl [current=false, super.hashCode=1259039663, instances=[an InstanceDescription[slindId=3d4f31d9-b3ba-4e32-aa10-36ef150a37f0, isLeader=true, isOwn=true, clusterViewId=20a0797b-e957-4b8e-845b-9b9e0b6a246d, properties={org.apache.sling.instance.endpoints=, org.apache.sling.event.jobs.consumer.topics=/,com/composum/sling/core/pckgmgr/PackageJobExecutor,com/composum/sling/core/script/GroovyJobExecutor,org/apache/sling/event/impl/jobs/tasks/HistoryCleanUpTask,sling/webconsole/test, org.apache.sling.instance.name=Instance 3d4f31d9-b3ba-4e32-aa10-36ef150a37f0, org.apache.sling.instance.description=Instance with id 3d4f31d9-b3ba-4e32-aa10-36ef150a37f0 and run modes [oak_mongo, oak]}], an InstanceDescription[slindId=cc9e3513-8f6c-460d-b27e-dd3844aa629d, isLeader=false, isOwn=false, clusterViewId=20a0797b-e957-4b8e-845b-9b9e0b6a246d, properties={org.apache.sling.instance.endpoints=, org.apache.sling.event.jobs.consumer.topics=/,com/composum/sling/core/pckgmgr/PackageJobExecutor,com/composum/sling/core/script/GroovyJobExecutor,org/apache/sling/event/impl/jobs/tasks/HistoryCleanUpTask,sling/webconsole/test, org.apache.sling.instance.name=Instance cc9e3513-8f6c-460d-b27e-dd3844aa629d, org.apache.sling.instance.description=Instance with id cc9e3513-8f6c-460d-b27e-dd3844aa629d and run modes [oak_mongo, oak]}]]], newView=TopologyViewImpl [current=true, super.hashCode=238080023, instances=[an InstanceDescription[slindId=3d4f31d9-b3ba-4e32-aa10-36ef150a37f0, isLeader=true, isOwn=true, clusterViewId=20a0797b-e957-4b8e-845b-9b9e0b6a246d, properties={org.apache.sling.instance.endpoints=, org.apache.sling.event.jobs.consumer.topics=/,com/composum/sling/core/pckgmgr/PackageJobExecutor,com/composum/sling/core/script/GroovyJobExecutor,org/apache/sling/event/impl/jobs/tasks/HistoryCleanUpTask,sling/webconsole/test, org.apache.sling.instance.name=Instance 3d4f31d9-b3ba-4e32-aa10-36ef150a37f0, org.apache.sling.instance.description=Instance with id 3d4f31d9-b3ba-4e32-aa10-36ef150a37f0 and run modes [oak_mongo, oak]}], an InstanceDescription[slindId=cc9e3513-8f6c-460d-b27e-dd3844aa629d, isLeader=false, isOwn=false, clusterViewId=20a0797b-e957-4b8e-845b-9b9e0b6a246d, properties={org.apache.sling.instance.endpoints=, org.apache.sling.event.jobs.consumer.topics=/,org/apache/sling/event/impl/jobs/tasks/HistoryCleanUpTask,sling/webconsole/test, org.apache.sling.instance.name=Instance cc9e3513-8f6c-460d-b27e-dd3844aa629d, org.apache.sling.instance.description=Instance with id cc9e3513-8f6c-460d-b27e-dd3844aa629d and run modes [oak_mongo, oak]}]]]). 09.01.2017 16:20:37.171 *INFO* [DocumentDiscoveryLiteService-BackgroundWorker-[1]] org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.document.DocumentDiscoveryLiteService checkView: view changed from: a ClusterView[{"seq":3,"final":false,"id":"ae406105-3c77-4498-b8fc-1557b012d46d","me":1,"active":[1],"deactivating":[2],"inactive":[]}], to: a ClusterView[{"seq":3,"final":true,"id":"ae406105-3c77-4498-b8fc-1557b012d46d","me":1,"active":[1],"deactivating":[],"inactive":[2]}], hasInstancesWithBacklog: false *************************** From there onward, the log file is just the normal shut-down logs as OSGI unregisters bundles and the servlet container shuts down. -- View this message in context: http://apache-sling.73963.n3.nabble.com/Join-new-member-to-Sling-Oak-cluster-tp4069454p4069492.html Sent from the Sling - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
