Soumava Ghosh updated CASSANDRA-5830:
-------------------------------------
Labels: 2.0 cas paxos (was: )
> Paxos loops endlessly due to faulty condition check
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-5830
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5830
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0 beta 2
> Reporter: Soumava Ghosh
> Labels: 2.0, cas, paxos
>
> Following is the code segment (StorageProxy.java:361) which causes the issue:
> Start is the start time of the paxos, is always less than the current system
> time, and therefore the negative difference is always less than the timeout.
> {code:title=StorageProxy.java|borderStyle=solid}
> private static UUID beginAndRepairPaxos(long start, ByteBuffer key,
> CFMetaData metadata, List<InetAddress> liveEndpoints, int
> requiredParticipants, ConsistencyLevel consistencyForPaxos)
> throws WriteTimeoutException
> {
> long timeout =
> TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toNanos(DatabaseDescriptor.getCasContentionTimeout());
> PrepareCallback summary = null;
> while (start - System.nanoTime() < timeout)
> {
> long ballotMillis = summary == null
> ? System.currentTimeMillis()
> : Math.max(System.currentTimeMillis(), 1 +
> UUIDGen.unixTimestamp(summary.inProgressCommit.ballot));
> UUID ballot = UUIDGen.getTimeUUID(ballotMillis);
> {code}
> Here, the paxos gets stuck when PREPARE returns 'true' but with
> inProgressCommit. The code in StorageProxy.java:beginAndRepairPaxos() then
> tries to issue a PROPOSE and COMMIT for the inProgressCommit, and if it
> repeatedly receives 'false' as a PREPARE_RESPONSE it gets stuck in an endless
> loop until PREPARE_RESPONSE is true.
