-----------------------------------
@henry,
Sorry if this sounds like a repeat, thought I will summarize the error handling
during view change. Could you comment if this makes sense?
----------
1. Configuration change succeeds if the change is successfully committed in
both the old view and the new view. An observer is promoted to a follower only
after it receives a COMMIT for the new view.
2. Each peer could have two views of the cluster -- the last committed view and
the last proposed view (which is created after a VIEWCHANGE proposal is
received). The latter can be NULL if there is no view change attempt in
progress.
2.A. Each peer will always attempt an election with the last committed
view. Proposed views will be converted to committed views (or deleted) post
leader election.
2.B. The proposal record of a peer contains (in addition to last logged
ZXID and server ID) the last committed view of the peer
3. During election, if the last committed view of the peer with the smaller
ZXID (P(ZXLOW)) is different from the last committed view of the peer with the
higher ZXID (P(ZXHIGH), then P(ZXLOW) adapts P(ZXHIGH)'s last committed view
and broadcasts the adapted view to all other peers.
3.A. Two nodes with the same ZXID should have the same committed views
3.B. If the last committed views of P(ZXLOW) and P(ZXHIGH) are the
same, but P(ZXHIGH) has a proposed new view (not committed yet though), that
view will not be considered by both the peers during election. Similarly, if
the N(ZXLOW) has a proposed view, that will not be considered either.
3.C. If P(ZXLOW) adapts P(ZXHIGH)'s last committed view and that view
doesn't include P(ZXLOW), P(ZXLOW) drops out of election (should it self
destruct??)
4. Once a leader is elected, it will sync up the logs of the followers that are
lagging behind just like it's done today:
- If there is a follower who's last committed view is different from
the leader's, log synchronization will make sure follower's last committed view
gets updated to be in sync with the leader's. Follower doesn't do anything when
its last committed view changes (the new view MUST have the follower since 3.C
prevents a follower that is not in the leading candidate's committed view from
successfully completing an election)
- If there is an observer who upon log synchronization learns that the
committed view includes the observer, the observer will promote itself to a
follower
- If a follower with a proposed view joins an already established
leader who doesn't know about that proposed view, the follower's proposed view
will be erased when the leader synchronizes the followers log
- If the leader has a proposed new view in its log, the leader will
send a COMMIT for the new view after majority peers in the old view and the new
view have synced their log to the leader's log
4.A. The view change COMMIT doesn't mean much for the followers
that are not impacted by the view change
4.B. The observer that gets view change COMMIT will promote
itself to a follower if the new view includes the observer
4.C. The follower that gets the view change will drop out of
the cluster if the new view doesn't include the follower
4.D. The leader will drop out of the cluster once COMMIT is
delivered locally if the new view doesn't include the leader. This will result
in a new election.
4.E. The leader will adjust the quorum size as per the new view
otherwise.
