Joseph Lynch edited comment on CASSANDRA-14358 at 4/4/18 12:49 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- For what it's worth we've opened an AWS ticket to find out if this is expected behaviour in VPCs (that the network blackholes packets on unknown flows rather than resetting them). I have a feeling that answer will be "yea that's how stateful firewalls work we can't keep flows forever", in which case Cassandra (probably) should be resilient to it I think. [~djoshi3] I think you've got it now. I'm proposing that we tune Cassandra's socket options (opt-in of course like most socket options we set) to tune TCP's parameters per Cassandra's requirement of high availability. In the case of blocking socket the way that I'm familiar with are connect timeouts ([unix|http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/connect.2.html], [java|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#connect-java.net.SocketAddress-int-]), receive timeouts ([SO_RCVTIMEO|https://linux.die.net/man/7/socket], [java|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#setSoTimeout-int-]) and send timeouts which Java doesn't expose afaict ([SO_SNDTIMEO|https://linux.die.net/man/7/socket]). For {{O_NONBLOCK}} sockets I think typically the timeout is handled at the event loop level (e.g. I think that's what {{WriteTimeoutHandler}} and {{ReadTimeoutHandler}} do in Netty). I still need to test this thoroughly, but I believe asking users to set {{/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries2 = 5}} is a reasonable workaround. I was able to simulate pretty easily the exact error in the production logs by doing the following: {noformat} $ sudo lsof -p $(pgrep -f Cassandra) -n | grep OTHER_IP | grep STORAGE_PORT java 5277 cassandra 64u IPv4 113860 0t0 TCP LOCAL_IP:38665->OTHER_IP:STORAGE_PORT (ESTABLISHED) java 5277 cassandra 69u IPv4 114797 0t0 TCP LOCAL_IP:STORAGE_PORT->OTHER_IP:54875 (ESTABLISHED) $ sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d OTHER_IP --sport 38665 --dport STORAGE_PORT -j DROP $ cqlsh cqlsh> CONSISTENCY ALL Consistency level set to ALL. cqlsh> select * from test_ks.test_cf WHERE key = 'key_that_lives_on_OTHER_IP'; OperationTimedOut: errors={}, last_host=<something> ... timeouts happen for next ~15 minutes $ tail -20 system.log TRACE [MessagingService-Outgoing-/OTHER_IP] 2018-04-04 00:13:05,009 OutboundTcpConnection.java:365 - Socket to /OTHER_IP closed DEBUG [MessagingService-Outgoing-/OTHER_IP] 2018-04-04 00:13:05,010 OutboundTcpConnection.java:303 - error writing to /OTHER_IP java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out (Write failed) at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(Native Method) ~[na:1.8.0_152] at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite(SocketOutputStream.java:111) ~[na:1.8.0_152] at java.net.SocketOutputStream.write(SocketOutputStream.java:155) ~[na:1.8.0_152] at sun.security.ssl.OutputRecord.writeBuffer(OutputRecord.java:431) ~[na:1.8.0_152] at sun.security.ssl.OutputRecord.write(OutputRecord.java:417) ~[na:1.8.0_152] at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.writeRecordInternal(SSLSocketImpl.java:886) ~[na:1.8.0_152] at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.writeRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:857) ~[na:1.8.0_152] at sun.security.ssl.AppOutputStream.write(AppOutputStream.java:123) ~[na:1.8.0_152] at net.jpountz.lz4.LZ4BlockOutputStream.flushBufferedData(LZ4BlockOutputStream.java:205) ~[lz4-1.2.0.jar:na] at net.jpountz.lz4.LZ4BlockOutputStream.flush(LZ4BlockOutputStream.java:222) ~[lz4-1.2.0.jar:na] at org.apache.cassandra.io.util.DataOutputStreamPlus.flush(DataOutputStreamPlus.java:55) ~[cassandra-2.1.19.jar:2.1.19] at org.apache.cassandra.net.OutboundTcpConnection.writeConnected(OutboundTcpConnection.java:294) [cassandra-2.1.19.jar:2.1.19] at org.apache.cassandra.net.OutboundTcpConnection.run(OutboundTcpConnection.java:222) [cassandra-2.1.19.jar:2.1.19] DEBUG [MessagingService-Outgoing-/OTHER_IP] 2018-04-04 00:13:49,867 OutboundTcpConnection.java:380 - attempting to connect to /OTHER_IP INFO [HANDSHAKE-/OTHER_IP] 2018-04-04 00:13:49,916 OutboundTcpConnection.java:496 - Handshaking version with /OTHER_IP TRACE [MessagingService-Outgoing-/OTHER_IP] 2018-04-04 00:13:49,960 OutboundTcpConnection.java:453 - Upgrading OutputStream to be compressed $ cqlsh cqlsh> CONSISTENCY ALL Consistency level set to ALL. cqlsh> select * from test_ks.test_cf WHERE key = 'key_that_lives_on_OTHER_IP'; ... results come back and everything is happy $ sudo lsof -p $(pgrep -f Cassandra) -n | grep OTHER_IP | grep STORAGE_PORT java 5277 cassandra 134u IPv4 113860 0t0 TCP LOCAL_IP:33417->OTHER_IP:STORAGE_PORT (ESTABLISHED) java 5277 cassandra 69u IPv4 114797 0t0 TCP LOCAL_IP:STORAGE_PORT->OTHER_IP:54875 (ESTABLISHED) {noformat} This simulates "blackholing" of the {{OutboundTcpConnection}}.
