Issues
Controller endlessly creates BEST_POSSIBLE nodes due to handleDelayedRebalanceMinActiveReplica #2971
Description
Controller endlessly creates best possible nodes under certain circumstances due handle
handleDelayedRebalanceMinActiveReplica
modifying the same underlying ResourceAssignments that are used for the in memory bestPossibleAssignmentThis PR changes
AssignmentMetadataStore
's methodspersistBaseline
andpersistBestPossibleAssignment
to create a copy of the underlyingResourceAssignment
objects before persisting them to the store's in-memory map. This allows the object passed to these methods to be safely modified afterwards without affecting the cached bestPossible.There are specific circumstances to trigger this behavior:
PartialRebalance will async calculate a new best possible and increment the
_bestPossibleVersion
and schedule an onDemandPipeline run. In emergencyRebalance(...) of the next pipeline, the bestPossibleAssignment (object A) will be persisted as_bestPossibleVersion
!=_lastPersistedBestPossibleVersion
. The values of the new best possible are stored in our in-memory bestPossibleAssignment map (object B). While object A and B are different, their values map to the same objects. We then pass object A tohandleDelayedRebalanceMinActiveReplica
which modifies the values of object A, also modifying the values of object B. This causes partialRebalance to believe it has calculated a different assignment, so it triggers a new pipeline run which will repeat the above behavior ad infinitum.Tests
