> Key: CASSANDRA-13480
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13480
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Matt Byrd

> Fix For: 4.x

>
> When a Jmx lost notification occurs, sometimes the lost notification in question is the notification which let's RepairRunner know that the repair is finished (ProgressEventType.COMPLETE or even ERROR for that matter).
> This results in nodetool process running the repair hanging forever.
> I have a test which reproduces the issue here:
> https://github.com/Jollyplum/cassandra-dtest/tree/repair_hang_test
> To fix this, If on receiving a notification that notifications have been lost (JMXConnectionNotification.NOTIFS_LOST), we instead query a new endpoint via Jmx to receive all the relevant notifications we're interested in, we can replay those we missed and avoid this scenario.
> It's possible also that the JMXConnectionNotification.NOTIFS_LOST itself might be lost and so for good measure I have made RepairRunner poll periodically to see if there were any notifications that had been sent but we didn't receive (scoped just to the particular tag for the given repair).
> Users who don't use nodetool but go via jmx directly, can still use this new endpoint and implement similar behaviour in their clients as desired.
> I'm also expiring the notifications which have been kept on the server side.
> Please let me know if you've any questions or can think of a different approach, I also tried setting:
> JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Djmx.remote.x.notification.buffer.size=5000"
> but this didn't fix the test. I suppose it might help under certain scenarios but in this test we don't even send that many notifications so I'm not surprised it doesn't fix it.
> It seems like getting lost notifications is always a potential problem with jmx as far as I can tell.
