Previously the SetConsistentIndex() is called during the apply workflow,
but it's outside the db transaction. If a commit happens between SetConsistentIndex
and the following apply workflow, and etcd crashes for whatever reason right
after the commit, then etcd commits an incomplete transaction to db.
Eventually etcd runs into the data inconsistency issue.
In this commit, we move the SetConsistentIndex into a txPostLockHook, so
it will be executed inside the transaction lock.
Thanks to this change:
- all the maps bucket -> buffer are indexed by int's instead of
string. No need to do: byte[] -> string -> hash conversion on each
access.
- buckets are strongly typed in backend/mvcc API.
This makes (bbolt) backend a full feature snapshot in term of WAL/raft,
i.e. carries:
- commit : (applied_index)
- confState
Benefits:
- Backend will be a sufficient point in time definition sufficient to
start replaying WAL. We have applied_index & confState in consistent
state.
- In case of emergency a backend state can be used for recovery
ClusterVersionSet, ClusterMemberAttrSet, DowngradeInfoSet functions are
writing both to V2store and backend. Prior this CL there were
in a branch not executed if shouldApplyV3 was false,
e.g. during restore when Backend is up-to-date (has high
consistency-index) while v2store requires replay from WAL log.
The most serious consequence of this bug was that v2store after restore
could have different index (revision) than the same exact store before restore,
so potentially different content between replicas.
Also this change is supressing double-applying of Membership
(ClusterConfig) changes on Backend (store v3) - that lackilly are not
part of MVCC/KeyValue store, so they didn't caused Revisions to be
bumped.
