RaftServerImpl
creates a newFollowerState
for each vote request received. The oldFollowerState
may trigger change to candidate role even after it was shutdown by the server. BothRaftServerImpl#requestVote
and the change to candidate byFollowerState
requires lock onserver
(RaftServerImpl
object). The order of events which triggers the problem:RaftServerImpl
executingrequestVote
with lock on itselfFollowerState
checks conditions, then waits for lock onserver
RaftServerImpl
shuts down oldFollowerState
, starts new oneRaftServerImpl
sets last RPC time on newFollowerState
RaftServerImpl
releases lockFollowerState
enters block with lock onserver
, triggers change to candidateLet
FollowerState
check if it is still running after entering thesynchronized
block.https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RATIS-1490
How was this patch tested?
Tweaked
FollowerState
,RaftServerImpl
andLeaderElectionTests
with code injection. It required too much test-specific code, even insynchronized
blocks, so I think it should not be part of this patch. Ideas for unit tests welcome.Regular CI:
