Thanks Engel,

That approach looks very accurate, I would only suggest to have a riak-admin cluster stop-aae and similar for start, for the dummies ;-)

Hey there. There are a couple of things to keep in mind when deleting invalid AAE trees from the 1.4.3-1.4.7 series after upgrading to 1.4.8:

* If AAE is disabled, you don't have to stop the node to delete the data in the anti_entropy directories * If AAE is enabled, deleting the AAE data in a rolling manner may trigger an avalanche of read repairs between nodes with the bad trees and nodes with good trees as the data seems to diverge.

If your nodes are already up, with AAE enabled and with old incorrect trees in the mix, there is a better way. You can dynamically disable AAE with some console commands. At that point, without stopping the nodes, you can delete all AAE data across the cluster. At a convenient time, re-enable AAE. I say convenient because all trees will start to rebuild, and that can be problematic in an overloaded cluster. Doing this over the weekend might be a good idea unless your cluster can take the extra load.

To dynamically disable AAE from the Riak console, you can run this command:

> riak_core_util:rpc_every_member_ann(riak_kv_entropy_manager, disable, [], 60000).

and enable with the similar:

> riak_core_util:rpc_every_member_ann(riak_kv_entropy_manager, enable, [], 60000).

That last number is just a timeout for the RPC operation. I hope this saves you some extra load on your clusters.

    Hi Guido,

    I specifically meant riak-admin transfers however using riak-admin
    wait-for-service riak_kv riak@node is a good first step before
    waiting for transfers.

    Thanks!

        What do you mean by "wait for handoff" to finish?

        Are you referring to wait for the service to be fully started?
        i.e. "riak-admin wait-for-service riak_kv riak@node"

        Or do you mean to check for "riak-admin transfers" on the
        started node and wait until those handoffs/transfers are gone?

        Guido.

        Hi Guido,

        That is the correct process. Be sure to use the rolling
        restart procedure when restarting nodes (i.e. wait for
        handoff to finish before moving on).

            If nodes are already upgraded to 1.4.8 (and they went all
            the way from 1.4.0 to 1.4.8 including AAE buggy versions)

            Will the following command (as root) on Ubuntu Servers 12.04:

                riak stop; rm -Rf /var/lib/riak/anti_entropy/*; riak
                start

            executed on each node be enough to rebuild AAE hashes?

            Regards,

            Guido.
