Redis sync fails. Redis copy keys and values works - caching

I have two redis instances both running on the same machine on win64. The version is the one from https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis with no amendments and the binaries are running as per download from github (ie version 2.6.12).
I would like to create a slave and sync it to the master. I am doing this on the same machine to ensure it works before creating a slave on a WAN located machine which will take around an hour to transfer the data that exists in the primary.
However, I get the following error:
[4100] 15 May 18:54:04.620 * Connecting to MASTER...
[4100] 15 May 18:54:04.620 * MASTER <-> SLAVE sync started
[4100] 15 May 18:54:04.620 * Non blocking connect for SYNC fired the event.
[4100] 15 May 18:54:04.620 * Master replied to PING, replication can continue...
[4100] 15 May 18:54:28.364 * MASTER <-> SLAVE sync: receiving 2147483647 bytes from master
[4100] 15 May 18:55:05.772 * MASTER <-> SLAVE sync: Loading DB in memory
[4100] 15 May 18:55:14.508 # Short read or OOM loading DB. Unrecoverable error, aborting now.
The only way I can sync up is via a mini script something along the lines of :
import orm.model
if __name__ == "__main__":
src = orm.model.caching.Redis(**{"host":"source_host","port":6379})
dest = orm.model.caching.Redis(**{"host":"source_host","port":7777})
ks = src.handle.keys()
for i,k in enumerate(ks):
if i % 1000 == 0:
print i, "%2.1f %%" % ( (i * 100.0) / len(ks))
dest.handle.set(k,src.handle.get(k))
where orm.model.caching.* are my middleware cache implementation bits (which for redis is just creating a self.handle instance variable).
Firstly, I am very suspicious of the number in the receiving bytes as that is 2^32-1 .. a very strange coincidence. Secondly, OOM can mean out of memory, yet I can fire up a 2nd process and sync that via the script but doing this via redis --slaveof fails with what appears to be out of memory. Surely this can't be right?
redis-check-dump does not run as this is the windows implementation.
Unfortunately there is sensitive data in the keys I am syncing so I can't offer it to anybody to investigate. Sorry about that.
I am definitely running the 64 bit version as it states this upon startup in the header.
I don't mind syncing via my mini script and then just enabling slave mode, but I don't think that is possible as the moment slaveof is executed, it drops all known data and resyncs from scratch (and then fails).
Any ideas ??

I have also seen this error earlier, but the latest bits from 2.8.4 seem to have resolved it https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis/tree/2.8.4_msopen

Combining local and remote ZFS snapshoting [zfs_autobackup]

I was searching for a simple way of managing my local and remote ZFS snapshots and decided to give zfs_autobackup a try.
My goals are to keep a local set of snapshots taken at specific times and send them to a remote machine.
zfs set autobackup:local=true tank/data
After selecting the source dataset, I created a cron file as follows
0 8-20 * * 1-5 /usr/local/bin/zfs-autobackup local --keep-source 12
5 20 * * 1-5 /usr/local/bin/zfs-autobackup local --keep-source 1d1w
10 20 * * 5 /usr/local/bin/zfs-autobackup local --keep-source 1w1m
0 0 1 * * /usr/local/bin/zfs-autobackup local --keep-source 1m1y
Which doesn't behave the way I expected, deleting older snapshots.
I also wonder which will be the best way to send the snapshots to the remote server, does it make any sense to define another dataset?
zfs set autobackup:remote=true tank/data
Any ideas?
im the author if zfs-autobackup.
The answer of Ser is correct: use one zfs command instead of 4. And use conmas to seperate the rules.
Also zfs-backup already keeps local and remote snapshots. So you can just send over the snapshots created by the cronjob. (maby not name them "local", its confusing in that case)
So use the same command as in your cronjob but add the target dataset and --ssh-target.
(also checkout the documention, it explains everything)

Infinispan clustered REPL_ASYNC cache: command indefinitely bounced between two nodes

Im running a spring boot application using infinispan 10.1.8 in a 2 node cluster. The 2 nodes are communicating via jgroups TCP. I configured several REPL_ASYNC.
The problem:
One of these caches, at some point is causing the two nodes to exchange the same message over and over, causing high CPU and memory usage. The only way to stop this is to stop one of the two nodes.
More details, here is the configuration.
org.infinispan.configuration.cache.Configuration replAsyncNoExpirationConfiguration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.clustering()
.cacheMode(CacheMode.REPL_ASYNC)
.transaction()
.lockingMode(LockingMode.OPTIMISTIC)
.transactionMode(TransactionMode.NON_TRANSACTIONAL)
.statistics().enabled(cacheInfo.isStatsEnabled())
.locking()
.concurrencyLevel(32)
.lockAcquisitionTimeout(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.isolationLevel(IsolationLevel.READ_COMMITTED)
.expiration()
.lifespan(-1) //entries do not expire
.maxIdle(-1) // even when they are idle for some time
.wakeUpInterval(-1) // disable the periodic eviction process
.build();
One of these caches (named formConfig) is causing me abnormal communication between the two nodes, this is what happens:
with jmeter I generate traffic load targeting only node 1
for some time node 2 receives cache entries from node 1 via SingleRpcCommand, no anomalies, even formConfig cache behaves properly
after some time a new cache entry is sent to the formConfig cache
At this point the same message seems to keep bouncing between the two nodes:
node 1 sends entry mn-node1.company.acme-develop sending command to all: SingleRpcCommand{cacheName='formConfig', command=PutKeyValueCommand{key=SimpleKey [form_config,MECHANICAL,DESIGN,et,7850]
node 2 receives the entry mn-node2.company.acme-develop received command from mn-node1.company.acme-develop: SingleRpcCommand{cacheName='formConfig', command=PutKeyValueCommand{key=SimpleKey [form_config,MECHANICAL,DESIGN,et,7850]
node 2 sends the entry back to node 1 mn-node2.company.acme-develop sending command to all: SingleRpcCommand{cacheName='formConfig', command=PutKeyValueCommand{key=SimpleKey [form_config,MECHANICAL,DESIGN,et,7850]
node 1 receives the entry mn-node1.company.acme-develop received command from mn-node2.company.acme-develop: SingleRpcCommand{cacheName='formConfig', command=PutKeyValueCommand{key=SimpleKey [form_config,MECHANICAL,DESIGN,et,7850],
node 1 sends the entry to node 2 and so on and on...
Some other things:
the system is not under load, jmeter is running only few users in parallel
Even stopping jmeter this loop doesn't stop
formConfig is the only cache that behaves this way. All the other REPL_ASYNC caches work properly. I deactivated only formConfig cache and the system is working correctly.
I cannot reproduce the problem with two nodes running on my machine
Here's a more complete log file including logs from both nodes.
Other infos:
opendjdk 11 hot spot
spring boot 2.2.7
infinispan spring boot starter 2.2.4
using JbossUserMarshaller
I'm suspecting
something related to transactional configuration
or something related to serialization/deserialization of the cached object
The only scenario where this can happen is when the SimpleKey has different hashCode().
Are there any exceptions in the log? Are you able to check if the hashCode() is the same after serialization & deserialization of the key?

Nodes loading, but Elasticsearch has 0 shards

I was testing out a 20 node cluster with default replicates, default sharding, and recently wanted to rename the cluster from the default "elasticsearch." So, I updated the config cluster name, and additionally renamed the data from
mylocation/data/OldName
to
mylocation/data/NewName
Which of course contain:
nodes/0
nodes/1
etc...
About a month later, I'm loading up my cluster again, and I see that while all 20 nodes come back online, it says 0 active shards, 0 primary shards, etc. where this should be several thousand. Status is green, nothing is initializing, nothing looks amiss except I have no data. I look in nodes/0 and I see nodes/0/indices/ are well populated with my index names: the data is actually on the disk. But it seems there's nothing I can do to get it to actually load the shards. The config is using the correct Des.path.data=mylocation/data/.
What could be wrong and how can I debug it? I'm fairly confident I ran this for a week after loading it, but it was some time ago and perhaps other things have changed. It just oddly seems to not be recognize any of the data it's pointing at, and it isn't giving me any kind of "I don't see your data" or "cannot read or write that data" error message.
Update
After it gets started it says:
Recovered [0] indices into cluster_state.
I googled this and it sounded like version compatibility. Checked my binaries and this did not appear to be an issue. I'm using 1.3.2 on all.
Update 2
One of 20 nodes repeatly fails with
ElasticsearchillegalStateException[failed to obtain node lock, is the following location writable?]
It lists the correct data dir, which is writable. Should I delete the node lock? Some node.locks are 664 and some are 640 when the cluster is off. Is this normal or possibly the relic of an unclean shutdown?
Are some of these replicates? I have 40 nodes, 20 are 640 and 20 are 664.
Update 3
There are write locks in place at the lucene level. So
data/NewName/nodes/1/indices/indexname/4/index/write.lock
exists. Is this why moving shards fails? Can i safely delete each of these write locks or is there shared state in the _state file that would lead to inconsistency?

MongoDB-Java performance with rebuilt Sync driver vs Async

I have been testing MongoDB 2.6.7 for the last couple of months using YCSB 0.1.4. I have captured good data comparing SSD to HDD and am producing engineering reports.
After my testing was completed, I wanted to explore the allanbank async driver. When I got it up and running (I am not a developer, so it was a challenge for me), I first wanted to try the rebuilt sync driver. I found performance improvements of 30-100%, depending on the workload, and was very happy with it.
Next, I tried the async driver. I was not able to see much difference between it and my results with the native driver.
The command I'm running is:
./bin/ycsb run mongodb -s -P workloads/workloadb -p mongodb.url=mongodb://192.168.0.13:27017/ycsb -p mongodb.writeConcern=strict -threads 96
Over the course of my testing (mostly with the native driver), I have experimented with more and less threads than 96; turned on "noatime"; tried both xfs and ext4; disabled hyperthreading; disabled half my 12 cores; put the journal on a different drive; changed sync from 60 seconds to 1 second; and checked the network bandwidth between the client and server to ensure its not oversubscribed (10GbE).
Any feedback or suggestions welcome.
The Async move exceeded my expectations. My experience is with the Python Sync (pymongo) and Async driver (motor) and the Async driver achieved greater than 10x the throughput. further, motor is still using pymongo under the hoods but adds the async ability. that could easily be the case with your allanbank driver.
Often the dramatic changes come from threading policies and OS configurations.
Async needn't and shouldn't use any more threads than cores on the VM or machine. For example, if you're server code is spawning a new thread per incoming conn -- then all bets are off. start by looking at the way the driver is being utilized. A 4 core machine uses <= 4 incoming threads.
On the OS level, you may have to fine-tune parameters like net.core.somaxconn, net.core.netdev_max_backlog, sys.fs.file_max, /etc/security/limits.conf nofile and the best place to start is looking at nginx related performance guides including this one. nginx is the server that spearheaded or at least caught the attention of many linux sysadmin enthusiasts. Contrary to popular lore one should reduce your keepalive timeout opposed to lengthen it. The default keep-alive timeout is some absurd (4 hours) number of seconds. you might want to cut the cord in 1 minute. basically, think a short sweet relationship with your clients connections.
Bear in mind that Mongo is not Async so you can use a Mongo driver pool. nevertheless, don't let the driver get stalled on slow queries. cut it off in 5 to 10 seconds using the following equivalents in Java. I'm just cutting and pasting here with no recommendations.
# Specifies a time limit for a query operation. If the specified time is exceeded, the operation will be aborted and ExecutionTimeout is raised. If max_time_ms is None no limit is applied.
# Raises TypeError if max_time_ms is not an integer or None. Raises InvalidOperation if this Cursor has already been used.
CONN_MAX_TIME_MS = None
# socketTimeoutMS: (integer) How long (in milliseconds) a send or receive on a socket can take before timing out. Defaults to None (no timeout).
CLIENT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT_MS=None
# connectTimeoutMS: (integer) How long (in milliseconds) a connection can take to be opened before timing out. Defaults to 20000.
CLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MS=20000
# waitQueueTimeoutMS: (integer) How long (in milliseconds) a thread will wait for a socket from the pool if the pool has no free sockets. Defaults to None (no timeout).
CLIENT_WAIT_QUEUE_TIMEOUT_MS=None
# waitQueueMultiple: (integer) Multiplied by max_pool_size to give the number of threads allowed to wait for a socket at one time. Defaults to None (no waiters).
CLIENT_WAIT_QUEUE_MULTIPLY=None
Hopefully you will have the same success. I was ready to bail on Python prior to async

Hector is unable to read Cassandra data when nodes reboot or terminate

We are trying to run a cassandra cluster on AWS/EC2 within a standard VPC footprint (cassandra nodes on private subnets). Because this is AWS there is always a chance that an EC2 instance will terminate or reboot with no warning. I have been simulating this case on a test cluster and I am seeing things with the cluster that I thought a cluster was suppose to prevent. Specifically if a node reboots some data will go temporarily missing until the node completes its reboot. If a node terminates it appears that some data is lost forever.
For my test I just did a bunch of writes (using QUORUM consistency) to some keyspaces then interrogate the contents of those keyspaces as I bring down nodes (either through reboot or terminate). I'm just using cqlsh SELECT to do the keyspace/column family interrogation of the cluster using ONE consistency level.
Note, even though I am performing no writes to the cluster while I am doing the SELECTs rows temporarily disappear when rebooting and can permanently go missing during termination.
I thought Netflix Priam might be able to help, but sadly it doesn't work in a VPC the last time I checked.
Also, because we are using ephemeral storage instances there is no equivalent of 'shutdown' so I cannot run any scripts during reboot/terminate of an instance to perform a nodetool decommission or nodetool removenode before an instance goes away. Terminate is the equivalent of kicking the plug out of the wall.
Since I am using a replication factor of 3 and quorum/write that should mean that all data is written to at least 2 nodes. So, unless I am totally misunderstanding things (which is possible), losing one node should not mean that I lose any data for any period of time when I am using consistency level ONE for the read.
Questions
Why wouldn't a 6 node cluster with a replication factor of 3 work?
Do I need to run something like a 12 node cluster with a replication factor of 7? Don't bother telling me that will fix the problem, because it doesn't.
Do I need to use consistency level of ALL on the writes then use ONE or QUORUM on the reads?
Is there something not quite right with virtual nodes? unlikely
Are there nodetool commands besides removenode that I need to run when a node terminates to recover missing data? As mentioned earlier, when a reboot occurs, eventually the missing data reappears.
Is there some cassandra savant who can look at my cassandra.yaml file below and send me on the path to salvation?
More Info added 7/19
I don't think this is a QUORUM vs ONE vs ALL is the issue. The test I set up performs no writes to the keyspaces after the initial population of the column families. So the data has had plenty of time (hours) to make it to all the nodes as required by the replication factor. Plus the test dataset is REALLY small (2 column families with about 300-1000 values each). So in other words, the data is completely static.
The behavior I am seeing seems to be tied to the fact that the ec2 instance is no longer on the network. The reason I say this is because if I log on to a node and just do a cassandra stop I see no loss of data. But if I do the reboot or terminate I start getting the following in a stack trace.
CassandraHostRetryService - Downed Host Retry service started with queue size -1 and retry delay 10s
CassandraHostRetryService - Downed Host retry shutdown complete
CassandraHostRetryService - Downed Host retry shutdown hook called
Caused by: TimedOutException()
Caused by: TimedOutException()
So it seems to be more of a networking communication issue in that the cluster is expecting, for example 10.0.12.74, to be on the network after it has joined the cluster. If that ip is suddenly unreachable either due to reboot or termination the timeouts start happening.
When I do a nodetool status under all three scenarios (cassandra stop, reboot or terminate) the status of the node shows up as DN. Which is what you would expect. Eventually nodetool status will return to UN with cassandra start or reboot, but obviously termination always stays DN.
Details of my Configuration
Here are some details of my configuration (cassandra.yaml is at the bottom of this posting):
Nodes are running in private subnets of a VPC.
Cassandra 1.2.5 with num_tokens: 256 (virtual nodes). initial_token: (blank). I am really hoping this works because all of our nodes run in autoscaling groups so the thought that redistribution could be handle dynamically is appealing.
EC2 m1.large one seed and one non-seed node in each availability zone. (so 6 total nodes in the cluster).
Ephemeral storage, not EBS.
Ec2Snitch with NetworkTopologyStrategy and all keyspaces have replication factor of 3.
Non-seed nodes are auto_bootstraped, seed nodes are not.

Edit to go with the new information:
CassandraHostRetryService is part of Hector. I assumed you were testing with cqlsh like a sane person would. Lessons:
Use cqlsh for testing
Use the DataStax Java Driver for building your application, which is faster, easier to use, and has more insight into the cluster state than Hector thanks to the native protocol it's built on.
