[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-16808) Pre-4.0 FWD_FRM message parameter serialization and message-id forwarding is incorrect

Jon Meredith created CASSANDRA-16808:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Pre-4.0 FWD_FRM message parameter serialization and message-id forwarding is incorrect
                 Key: CASSANDRA-16808
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16808
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Messaging/Internode
            Reporter: Jon Meredith
            Assignee: Jon Meredith


Fixing CASSANDRA-16797 has exposed an issue with the way {{FWD_FRM}} is serialized.

In the code cleanup during the internode messaging refactor, the serialization for {{FWD_FRM}} (the endpoint to respond to for forwarded messages) was implemented using the same serialization format as CompactEndpointSerializationHelper which prefixes the address bytes with their length, however the FWD_FRM parameter value does not include a length and just converts the parameter value to an InetAddress.

In a mixed version cluster this causes the pre-4.0 nodes to fail when deserializing the mutation

Unfortunately there isn't a clean fix I can see as {{org.apache.cassandra.io.IVersionedAsymmetricSerializer#deserialize}} used to deserialize the FWD_FRM address does not take a maximum length to deserialize and it's impossible to tell definitely know if it's an IPv4 or IPv6 address from the first four bytes.

The patch I'm submitting special-cases the deserializing pre-4.0 {{FWD_FRM}} parameters in the {{Message}} deserializer. That seems preferable to extending the deserialization interface or creating a new {{DataInputBuffer}} limited by the parameter value length.

Once that was fixed, the INSERT statements were still failing which I tracked down to the 4.0 optimization of serializing the forwarded message once if the message id is the same
 [https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-4.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/MutationVerbHandler.java#L76]

In the test case I wrote, only one message was being forwarded and that had a different id to the original forwarded message. The {{useSameMessageID}} method only checked message Ids within the forwarded messages.

 

Code Details:

When MutationVerbHandler.forwardToLocalNodes is constructing the forwarding message it just stores the the byte array representing the IPv4 or IPv6 address in the parameter array.

(link [https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/44604b7316fcbfd7d0d7425e75cd7ebe267e3247/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/MutationVerbHandler.java#L90] )
{code:java}
    private static void forwardToLocalNodes(Mutation mutation, MessagingService.Verb verb, byte[] forwardBytes, InetAddress from) throws IOException
    {
        try (DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(new FastByteArrayInputStream(forwardBytes)))
        {
            int size = in.readInt();

            // tell the recipients who to send their ack to
            MessageOut<Mutation> message = new MessageOut<>(verb, mutation, Mutation.serializer).withParameter(Mutation.FORWARD_FROM, from.getAddress());
{code}
When the message is serialized in 3.0 MessageOut.serialize, that raw entry of bytes is written with the length

(link [https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/44604b7316fcbfd7d0d7425e75cd7ebe267e3247/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/net/MessageOut.java#L119] )
{code:java}
    public void serialize(DataOutputPlus out, int version) throws IOException
    {
        CompactEndpointSerializationHelper.serialize(from, out);

        out.writeInt(MessagingService.Verb.convertForMessagingServiceVersion(verb, version).getId());
        out.writeInt(parameters.size());
        for (Map.Entry<String, byte[]> entry : parameters.entrySet())
        {
            out.writeUTF(entry.getKey());
            out.writeInt(entry.getValue().length);
            out.write(entry.getValue());
        }
        ....
    }
{code}
And we do the same on 4.0, however in 4.0 the parameter is serialized using the ParamType enum

(link [https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/fcd30b6e0db3622a8e78e9aa35221f630c77f6de/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/net/Message.java#L1154] )
{code:java}
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                ParamType type = version >= VERSION_40
                    ? ParamType.lookUpById(Ints.checkedCast(in.readUnsignedVInt()))
                    : ParamType.lookUpByAlias(in.readUTF());

                int length = version >= VERSION_40
                    ? Ints.checkedCast(in.readUnsignedVInt())
                    : in.readInt();

                if (null != type)
                    params.put(type, type.serializer.deserialize(in, version));
                else
                    in.skipBytesFully(length); // forward compatibiliy with minor version changes
            }
{code}
(link [https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/fcd30b6e0db3622a8e78e9aa35221f630c77f6de/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/net/ParamType.java#L45] )
{code:java}
public enum ParamType
{
    FORWARD_TO          (0, "FWD_TO",        ForwardingInfo.serializer),
    RESPOND_TO          (1, "FWD_FRM",       inetAddressAndPortSerializer),
    ...
}
{code}
The {{InetAddressAndPortSerializer}} has been based on the 3.0 {{CompactEndpointSerializationHelper}} encoding used in the message header,
 however that format includes a single byte with the length of the address when pre-4.0 nodes are just expecting the parameter value
 to contain the raw address bytes.

(link [https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/fcd30b6e0db3622a8e78e9aa35221f630c77f6de/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/locator/InetAddressAndPort.java#L308] )
{code:java}
            if (version >= MessagingService.VERSION_40)
            {
                out.writeByte(buf.length + 2);
                out.write(buf);
                out.writeShort(endpoint.port);
            }
            else
            {
                out.writeByte(buf.length); //// Surprise!  Bonus byte!
                out.write(buf);
            }
{code}
