This is useful since we want to pipeline the appendEntry requests. Without
enabling optimistic increasing, the second pipelining appendEntry request
will include the entries the first one has already sent out. We decrease
the next directly to match if the leader receives a rejection for a matched
follower. This happens if one pipelining request get lost and following ones
arrives at the follower.
As explained in #1366, the leader will fail to transmit the missed
logs if the leader receives a hearbeat response from a follower
that is not yet matched in the leader. In other words, there are
append responses that do not explicitly reject an append but
implied a gap.
This commit is based on @xiangli-cmu's idea. We should only acknowledge
upto the index of logs in the append message. This way responses to
heartbeats would never interfer with the log synchronization because
their log index is always 0.
Fixes#1366
This adds the remaining two stats endpoints: `/v2/stats/self`, for
various statistics on the EtcdServer, and `/v2/stats/leader`, for
statistics on a leader's followers.
By and large most of the stats code is copied across from 0.4.x, updated
where necessary to integrate with the new decoupling of raft from
transport.
This does not satisfactorily resolve the question of name vs ID. In the
old world, names were unique in the cluster and transmitted over the
wire, so they could be used safely in all statistics. In the new world,
a given EtcdServer only knows its own name, and it is instead IDs that
are communicated among the cluster members. Hence in most places here we
simply substitute a string-encoded ID in place of name, and only where
possible do we retain the actual given name of the EtcdServer.
Since these are arrays instead of maps, the "keys" here are actually
(useless) goto labels. What really matters is that the ordering is
the same between the constant declarations and the array.
Before this commit, compact always compact log at current appliedindex of raft.
This prevents us from doing non-blocking snapshot since we have to make snapshot
and compact atomically. To prepare for non-blocking snapshot, this commit make
compact supports index and nodes parameters. After completing snapshot, the applier
should call compact with the snapshot index and the nodes at snapshot index to do
a compaction at snapsohot index.
send should not attach current term to msgProp. Send should simply do proxy for msgProp without
changing its term. msgProp has a special term 0, which indicates that it is a local message.
The usage of removed:
1. tell removed node about its removal explicitly using msgDenied
2. prevent removed node disrupt cluster progress by launching leader election
It is set when apply node removal, or receive msgDenied.
This prevents the bug like this:
1. a node sends join to a cluster and succeeds
2. it starts with empty peers and waits for sync, but it have not
received anything
3. election timeout passes, and it promotes itself to leader
4. it commits some log entry
5. its log conflicts with the cluster's
