codelipenghui opened a new pull request #6347: PIP 57: Improve Zookeeper Session Timeout Handling URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/6347 Master Issue: #<xyz> ### Motivation In Pulsar, brokers use Zookeeper as the configuration store and broker metadata maintaining. We can also call them Global Zookeeper and Local Zookeeper. The Global Zookeeper maintains the namespace policies, cluster metadata, and partitioned topic metadata. To reduce read operations on Zookeeper, each broker has a cache for global Zookeeper. The Global Zookeeper cache updates on znode changed. Currently, when the present session timeout happens on global Zookeeper, a new session starts. Broker does not create any EPHEMERAL znodes on global Zookeeper. The Local Zookeeper maintains the local cluster metadata, such as broker load data, topic ownership data, managed ledger metadata, and Bookie rack information. All of broker load data and topic ownership data are create EPHEMERAL nodes on Local Zookeeper. Currently, when session timeout happens on Local Zookeeper, the broker shutdown itself. Shutdown broker results in ownership change of topics that the broker owned. However, we encountered lots of problems related to the current session timeout handling. Such as broker with long JVM GC pause, Local Zookeeper under high workload. Especially the latter may cause all broker shutdowns. So, the purpose of this proposal is to improve session timeout handling on Local Zookeeper to avoid unnecessary broker shutdown. ### Approach Same as the Global Zookeeper session timeout handling and Zookeeper session timeout handling in BookKeeper, a new session should start when the present session timeout. If a new session failed to start, the broker would retry several times. The retry times depend on the configuration of the broker. After the number of retries, if still can't start session success, the broker still needs to be shut down since this may be a problem with the Zookeeper cluster. The user needs to restart the broker after the zookeeper cluster returns to normal. If a new session starts success, the issue is slightly more complicated. So, I will introduce every scene separately. Topic ownership data handling The topic ownership data maintain all namespace bundles that owned by the broker. In Zookeeper, create an EPHEMERAL znode for each namespace bundle. When the session timeout happens on the local Zookeeper, all of the EPHEMERAL znode maintained by this broker will delete automatically. We need some mechanism to avoid the unnecessary ownership transfer of the bundles. Since the broker cached the owned bundles in memory, the broker can use the cache to re-own the bundles. Firstly, the broker should check if exists the znode for the bundle and the bundle owner is this broker. If the znode exists and the owner is this broker, it may be that znode has not been deleted. The broker should check if the ephemeral owner is the current session ID. If not, the broker should wait for the znode deletion. Then the broker tries to own the bundle. If the broker owns the bundle success means the bundle not owned by other brokers, the broker should check whether to preload the topics under the bundle. If the broker failed to own the bundle means the bundle owned by another broker. The broker should unload the bundle. Theoretically, the mechanism can guarantee that the ownership of most bundles will not change during the session timeout. Broker load data handling The load data used for namespace bundle load balancing, so there is no need to be overly complicated in handling. The only effect is that it will interfere with the choice of the broker when finding a candidate broker for a namespace bundle. Even without selecting the optimal broker, it will continue to relocate the namespace bundles. So for broker load data handling, we need to guarantee the load data of the broker can report success. Other scene handing There are also some usage scenarios of the local Zookeeper, BookKeeper client, managed ledger meta, bookie rack information, and schema metadata. All of these scenarios do not create any EPHEMERAL znodes on the Zookeeper. Pulsar introduces the Zookeeper cache for the local Zookeeper. The cache is invalidated when the session timeout occurs. ### Verifying this change The test is coming. ### Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: *If `yes` was chosen, please highlight the changes* - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (no) - The public API: (no) - The schema: (no) - The default values of configurations: (no) - The wire protocol: (no) - The rest endpoints: (no) - The admin cli options: (no) - Anything that affects deployment: (no) ### Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
