Andrew Wong commented on KUDU-2050:
-----------------------------------
As a workaround for now, folks can use {{kudu tserver state enter_maintenance}}
to avoid re-replication at startup.
> Avoid peer eviction during block manager startup
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KUDU-2050
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2050
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs, tserver
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Adar Dembo
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: stability, supportability
>
> In larger deployments we've observed that opening the block manager can take
> a really long time, like tens of minutes or sometimes even hours. This is
> especially true as of 1.4 where the log block manager tries to optimize
> on-disk data structures during startup.
> The default time to Raft peer eviction is 5 minutes. If one node is restarted
> and LBM startup takes over 5 minutes, or if all nodes are restarted and
> there's over 5 minutes of LBM startup time variance across them, the "slow"
> node could have all of its replicas evicted. Besides generating a lot of
> unnecessary work in rereplication, this effectively "defeats" the LBM
> optimizations in that it would have been equally slow (but more efficient) to
> reformat the node instead.
> So, let's reorder startup such that LBM startup counts towards replica
> bootstrapping. One idea: adjust FsManager startup so that tablet-meta/cmeta
> files can be accessed early to construct bootstrapping replicas, but to defer
> opening of the block manager until after that time.
