---------------------------------------
Summary: use a specific flag for the topic prefix cluster
identifier.
Key: IMPALA-13408
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-13408
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Backend
Affects Versions: Impala 4.5.0
Reporter: Andrew Sherman
Assignee: Andrew Sherman
The cluster_id flag was introduced in IMPALA-12426 to identify Impala clusters
in systems where a single query_log table could be shared.
In IMPALA-13208 the cluster_id flag was reused as a prefix to topic names for
backend membership, to allow sub-clusters of backends within a Statstore
service.
There have been some problems with the interaction of these two usages. An
important difference is that the query_log cluster_id must be set only on
coordinators, whereas the topic prefix cluster_id must be set simultaneously on
coordinators, executors, and admission daemons (if present). If a system is
started with cluster_id set only on coordinators then there are split-brain
problems where coordinators and executors are tracked in different topics.
In addition, the query_log cluster_id is more likely to be user-settable as it
is used for data in query_log which will be read by humans, who may want to
write queries selecting data from their ‘production’ or ‘dev’ clusters.
Avoid these problems by using a separate flag for the topic prefix cluster_id,
perhaps ‘cluster_membership_topic_id’
