      xpand Glassbutte 5.3.15
      Both using CentOS 7

    Description

      1) What works: Transaction replay works fine with XPAND direct as long as there is NO activity on outstanding transactions during the group change. A transaction that begins before group change is initiated, stays idle during it, will be able to continue happily after group change is completed. This includes the situation when the transaction in question sits on a session connected on a departing node - MaxScale moves the session to the surviving node successfully.

      It has been tested in 2 scenarios
      a) very fast group change. Monitor does not have a chance to detect the node departure, but splitter gets a rollback. Splitter reacts properly, and completes session transfer and replay after group change finishes.
      b) long running group change. Monitor detects group change, spins around waiting for it to complete, and abandons the node, yet keeps monitoring the situation. Rollback is not registering in the traces, it seems. As long as the transaction in question does not attempt any activity prior to group change completion, all is fine. Once the GC completes, the transaction can proceed, and there will be a successful session transfer (if needed) and a replay.

      2) what does not work: Should the transaction in progress attempt to execute anything while group change is in progress, monitor loses track of its nodes. It attempts to engage a node long gone from the cluster - a node that had been taken down and subsequently restored under a different number in previous tests.

      Below is a relevant fragment of the trace. Scenario:

      • There are three nodes – 3, 15, and 22 up.
      • We hang a session – and it goes to node 15. We create a transaction on it.
      • We kill node 22 (10.2.13.175).

      Group Change is detected all right. At 23:01:48 we attempt an insert, and transaction migration from node 15 begins. Except – it goes to a wrong node (node-20, a one killed in a previous experiment). What exactly happens is not obvious from the traces. Node 20 used to be on 10.2.13.175 where 22 was a second ago. But it is not really obvious from the trace what IP MaxScale is attempting to use, and with which credentials - but it fails hard enough for MaxScale to abandon all hope and communicate "session closed" to the client.

      Comment: Splitter attempts session transfer and replay the moment insert is detected, even though monitor is still aware that group change is in progress. Not only that - there appears to be a gallant but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to find a Xpand bootstrap node from one of the nodes used during the previous run of MaxScale.. Could it be better to just wait until Group Change is over?

      The fact of the matter is that no matter how hard one can try, there will not be a suitable node to do a replay on while this group change is going on. Of course we can keep trying, circling the cluster over and over - just that if there is a good number of outstanding transactions all in this same state, it may get very hairy very fast... Is there a way to coordinate with the splitter and have him pause all until group change is in fact over?

      Trace fragment.

      Original Description
      Start trx.
      Do a group change on Xpand.
      While the group is yet to be formed try to insert another row.
      After the group is formed try another insert.
      Expected: Now, the whole trx should be retried.
      Actual: trx replay fails.
