Description Matt Wringe 2017-11-09 18:35:40 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1494673 +++

Our Cassandra readiness probe will parse the output of 'nodetool status' to determine if the Cassandra instance is in the 'up' and 'normal' state.

Our string parsing of the output can have an issue in certain situations. If the string value of the current host's ip address is contained within the ip of another node in the cluster, then we will try and parse two lines of the output instead of just one.

For instance, consider the case where we have two nodes in our Cassandra cluster where their ip addresses are '172.17.0.3' and '172.17.0.3' ('72.17.0.3' and '172.17.0.3' would also cause a problem as well).

How we are parsing this output, our script would incorrectly try and handle both entries from 'nodetool status' instead of just the one.

This will cause the readiness probe to get unexpected information and fail.

If the pod is brought down and restarted, it should be granted a new ip address which should not conflict with the second ip address anymore and then be able to continue.

Simple PR which fixes this issue by checking for whitespace before and after the ip address, thus preventing the script from considering the ip address the same: https://github.com/openshift/origin-metrics/pull/380

@Matt
Which image version contain the fix?
Do we still need to verify it failed with previous versions?

--- Additional comment from Junqi Zhao on 2017-09-30 06:07:23 EDT ---

Tested with currently latest image:metrics-cassandra-v3.7.0-0.135.0.0, it returned "Cassandra is in the up and normal state"

The latest 3.7 release should have this fixed.

Its the exact same change as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496228 which I believe was verified there.

Comment 5 Junqi Zhao 2018-01-10 05:34:11 UTC

Tested with metrics-cassandra-docker-v3.6.173.0.94-2, test steps followed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496228#c5,  it returned "Cassandra is in the up and normal state"

sh-4.2$ source /opt/apache-cassandra/bin/cassandra-docker-ready.sh
Cassandra is in the up and normal state. It is now ready.
