RE: Monitor the neighbour JVM using neihbour's member-timeout

Hi Community,

Can you please give your suggestions on the below solution.

I have raised a pull request for the same : https://github.com/apache/geode/pull/1075 .


Thanks,
Aravind Musigumpula

Thanks Bruce for suggestions, I will change the new variables from InternalDistributedMember to NetView and do changes related to backward compatibility.

Now I know that there is another way that member can be removed from the view i.e if any member is sending a message and waits for ack-wait-threshold, if there is no response from the target the sender will do final check and remove it from the view if there is still no response. 
But I don't understand how deprecating the settings member-timeout, ack-wait-threshold, ack-severe-alert-threshold into one will solve the problem. The main problem is that we want a member to survive in the view for longer time than others.

If we deprecate the settings into one setting and pass the setting to monitoring member(say A), then it will use the target member(say B which we want to survive in view for longer time) timeout for health monitoring and ack-wait-threshold to wait for the response for any message before doing final check.
But what if some other member(say C) which is monitoring any other member(say D) have the member-timeout and ack-wait-threshold some smaller values. So if member C messages to B, C uses the smaller value of ack-wait-threshold(which is of member D) to get a response and does the final check again on basis of smaller member-timeout. So still member B can be kicked out of the view in small amount of time.

I think this can be solved simply if we use the member-timeout of suspected member in the final check where we establish TCP connection. We don't need to club those three settings as well. We can set the member-timeout of a particular member to a higher value and the member which monitors it uses its own member-timeout as it is now, but during the final check it uses the suspected member-timeout(which is a greater value). The final check is common place in both the no heartbeat scenario and no response for a message scenario.

Are there any concerns around this new proposal ?


Thanks,
Aravind Musigumpula

I think this might be an acceptable change though I doubt many people would find it useful.

It's already possible to set different member-timeouts on each node of the distributed system but the meaning of the setting is the inverse of what's proposed here, so having the current setting be different in each node is pretty useless.

I think the initiation of suspect processing ought to be addressed if we make this change.  The ack-wait-threshold and ack-severe-alert-threshold aren't based on the member-timeout but ought to be.  This would make it possible to initiate suspect processing with different timing for different nodes.  It would still leave the question of slow backup operations hanging:  If you're waiting for one node that's blocked waiting for a response from another node (say a node holding a backup
bucket) you are going to initiate suspect processing on the node you're waiting on & not those other (backup) nodes.

Rolling upgrade will also be a problem since old members aren't going to cough up their member-timeout settings.  What should be used as a membership timeout for the old members during an upgrade?

If we proceed with this idea I'd prefer that we deprecate member-timeout, ack-wait-threshold and ack-severe-alert-threshold and have new settings with the "ack" settings being multiples of the new membership timeout setting.

Concerning the PR, it isn't acceptable in its current form. 
InternalDistributedMember identifiers are often transmitted in messages and increasing their size affects performance.  Any new member attributes need to be added to NetView instead of InternalDistributedMember.

Hi Aravind,

Your arguments about the final-check seem sound to me.  I put some 
further comments on your PR.

Regards,

Bruce S.
