First, some background: we have 15 different methods to get a logger in
Elasticsearch but they can be broken down into three broad categories
based on what information is provided when building the logger.
Just a class like:
```
private static final Logger logger = ESLoggerFactory.getLogger(ActionModule.class);
```
or:
```
protected final Logger logger = Loggers.getLogger(getClass());
```
The class and settings:
```
this.logger = Loggers.getLogger(getClass(), settings);
```
Or more information like:
```
Loggers.getLogger("index.store.deletes", settings, shardId)
```
The goal of the "class and settings" variant is to attach the node name
to the logger. Because we don't always have the settings available, we
often use the "just a class" variant and get loggers without node names
attached. There isn't any real consistency here. Some loggers get the
node name because it is convenient and some do not.
This change makes the node name available to all loggers all the time.
Almost. There are some caveats are testing that I'll get to. But in
*production* code the node name is node available to all loggers. This
means we can stop using the "class and settings" variants to fetch
loggers which was the real goal here, but a pleasant side effect is that
the ndoe name is now consitent on every log line and optional by editing
the logging pattern. This is all powered by setting the node name
statically on a logging formatter very early in initialization.
Now to tests: tests can't set the node name statically because
subclasses of `ESIntegTestCase` run many nodes in the same jvm, even in
the same class loader. Also, lots of tests don't run with a real node so
they don't *have* a node name at all. To support multiple nodes in the
same JVM tests suss out the node name from the thread name which works
surprisingly well and easy to test in a nice way. For those threads
that are not part of an `ESIntegTestCase` node we stick whatever useful
information we can get form the thread name in the place of the node
name. This allows us to keep the logger format consistent.
With this commit we introduce a new circuit-breaking strategy to the parent
circuit breaker. Contrary to the current implementation which only accounts for
memory reserved via child circuit breakers, the new strategy measures real heap
memory usage at the time of reservation. This allows us to be much more
aggressive with the circuit breaker limit so we bump it to 95% by default. The
new strategy is turned on by default and can be controlled with the new cluster
setting `indices.breaker.total.userealmemory`.
Note that we turn it off for all integration tests with an internal test cluster
because it leads to spurious test failures which are of no value (we cannot
fully control heap memory usage in tests). All REST tests, however, will make
use of the real memory circuit breaker.
Relates #31767
Changes the scope of the AllocationService dependency injection hack so that it is at least contained to the AllocationService and does not leak into the Discovery world.
With this commit we separate benchmark parameters with pipe symbols
instead of commas as JMH has a special formatting logic for comma-separated
string which messes up the JSON output of microbenchmarks.
This change proposes the removal of all non-tcp transport implementations. The
mock transport can be used by default to run tests instead of local transport that has
roughly the same performance compared to TCP or at least not noticeably slower.
This is a master only change, deprecation notice in 5.x will be committed as a
separate change.
Changes the API of GatewayAllocator#applyStartedShards and
GatewayAllocator#applyFailedShards to take both a RoutingAllocation
and a list of shards to apply. This allows better mock allocators
to be created as being done in #20637.
Closes#20642
Removes the FailedRerouteAllocation class and StartedRerouteAllocation
class, as they were just wrappers for RerouteAllocation that stored
started and failed shards, but these started and failed shards can
be passed in directly to the methods that needed them, removing the
need for this wrapper class and extra level of indirection.
Closes#20626
Currently all the reroute-like methods of `AllocationService` return a result object of type `RoutingAllocation.Result`. The result object contains the new `RoutingTable` and `MetaData` plus an indication whether those were changed. The caller is then responsible of updating a cluster state with these. These means that things can easily go wrong and one can take one of these but not the other causing inconsistencies. We already have a utility method on the `ClusterState` builder that does but no one forces you to do so. Also 99% of the callers do the same thing: i.e., check if the result was changed and if so update the very same cluster state that was passed to `AllocationService`. This PR folds this pattern into `AllocationService` and changes almost all it's methods to return a new cluster state (potentially the original one). This saves some 500 lines of code.
The one exception here is the reroute API which executes allocation commands and potentially returns an explanation as well (next to the routing table and metadata). That API now returns a `CommandsResult` object which encapsulate a cluster state and the explanation.
This change converts AllocationDecider registration from push based on
ClusterModule to implementing with a new ClusterPlugin interface.
AllocationDecider instances are allowed to use only Settings and
ClusterSettings.
Adds a class that records changes made to RoutingAllocation, so that at the end of the allocation round other values can be more easily derived based on these changes. Most notably, it:
- replaces the explicit boolean flag that is passed around everywhere to denote changes to the routing table. The boolean flag is automatically updated now when changes actually occur, preventing issues where it got out of sync with actual changes to the routing table.
- records actual changes made to RoutingNodes so that primary term and in-sync allocation ids, which are part of index metadata, can be efficiently updated just by looking at the shards that were actually changed.
When we introduces [persistent node ids](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/19140) we were concerned that people may copy data folders from one to another resulting in two nodes competing for the same id in the cluster. To solve this we elected to not allow an incoming join if a different with same id already exists in the cluster, or if some other node already has the same transport address as the incoming join. The rationeel there was that it is better to prefer existing nodes and that we can rely on node fault detection to remove any node from the cluster that isn't correct any more, making room for the node that wants to join (and will keep trying).
Sadly there were two problems with this:
1) One minor and easy to fix - we didn't allow for the case where the existing node can have the same network address as the incoming one, but have a different ephemeral id (after node restart). This confused the logic in `AllocationService`, in this rare cases. The cluster is good enough to detect this and recover later on, but it's not clean.
2) The assumption that Node Fault Detection will clean up is *wrong* when the node just won an election (it wasn't master before) and needs to process the incoming joins in order to commit the cluster state and assume it's mastership. In those cases, the Node Fault Detection isn't active.
This PR fixes these two and prefers incoming nodes to existing node when finishing an election.
On top of the, on request by @ywelsch , `AllocationService` synchronization between the nodes of the cluster and it's routing table is now explicit rather than something we do all the time. The same goes for promotion of replicas to primaries.
Node IDs are currently randomly generated during node startup. That means they change every time the node is restarted. While this doesn't matter for ES proper, it makes it hard for external services to track nodes. Another, more minor, side effect is that indexing the output of, say, the node stats API results in creating new fields due to node ID being used as keys.
The first approach I considered was to use the node's published address as the base for the id. We already [treat nodes with the same address as the same](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/discovery/zen/NodeJoinController.java#L387) so this is a simple change (see [here](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/compare/master...bleskes:node_persistent_id_based_on_address)). While this is simple and it works for probably most cases, it is not perfect. For example, if after a node restart, the node is not able to bind to the same port (because it's not yet freed by the OS), it will cause the node to still change identity. Also in environments where the host IP can change due to a host restart, identity will not be the same.
Due to those limitation, I opted to go with a different approach where the node id will be persisted in the node's data folder. This has the upside of connecting the id to the nodes data. It also means that the host can be adapted in any way (replace network cards, attach storage to a new VM). I
It does however also have downsides - we now run the risk of two nodes having the same id, if someone copies clones a data folder from one node to another. To mitigate this I changed the semantics of the protection against multiple nodes with the same address to be stricter - it will now reject the incoming join if a node exists with the same id but a different address. Note that if the existing node doesn't respond to pings (i.e., it's not alive) it will be removed and the new node will be accepted when it tries another join.
Last, and most importantly, this change requires that *all* nodes persist data to disk. This is a change from current behavior where only data & master nodes store local files. This is the main reason for marking this PR as breaking.
Other less important notes:
- DummyTransportAddress is removed as we need a unique network address per node. Use `LocalTransportAddress.buildUnique()` instead.
- I renamed `node.add_lid_to_custom_path` to `node.add_lock_id_to_custom_path` to avoid confusion with the node ID which is now part of the `NodeEnvironment` logic.
- I removed the `version` paramater from `MetaDataStateFormat#write` , it wasn't really used and was just in the way :)
- TribeNodes are special in the sense that they do start multiple sub-nodes (previously known as client nodes). Those sub-nodes do not store local files but derive their ID from the parent node id, so they are generated consistently.
This change removes some unnecessary dependencies from ClusterService
and cleans up ClusterName creation. ClusterService is now not created
by guice anymore.
With this commit we add a benchmarks project that contains the necessary build
infrastructure and an example benchmark. It is added as a separate project to avoid
interfering with the regular build too much (especially sanity checks) and to keep
the microbenchmarks isolated.
Microbenchmarks are generated with `gradle :benchmarks:jmhJar` and can be run with
` gradle :benchmarks:jmh`.
We intentionally do not use the
[jmh-gradle-plugin](https://github.com/melix/jmh-gradle-plugin) as it causes all
sorts of problems (dependencies are not properly excluded, not all JMH parameters
can be set) and it adds another abstraction layer that is not needed.
