jepsen: add the learner attach/promote-under-partition workload - #1231
jepsen: add the learner attach/promote-under-partition workload#1231bootjp wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Closes the Milestone 3 hardening item the learner design deferred:
"Jepsen workload that exercises learner attach during partition and
promote after heal."
The checker pins three properties, each revert-checked:
- promotion never outruns catch-up;
- no acknowledged write is lost across a promotion, since adding a
voter changes the quorum denominator;
- a learner never counts toward the voter quorum, expressed as: no
write may fail while a partition isolates only learners.
The first property needed a correction the tests caught. Comparing
min-applied-index against the learner's Match cannot express it: the
engine's own test is Match >= min-applied-index, so an operator who
reads the learner's current Match and passes it back satisfies the
check by construction. Both that broken call and the correct one — pick
the leader's commit index as a target, wait for Match to reach it —
end with min-applied-index == Match, so the equality distinguishes
nothing. Catch-up is therefore measured against the LEADER's commit
index, and a test pins two histories that are identical on
(min-applied-index, match) yet must be judged differently.
Verified with the full suite: 162 tests, 0 failures, up from 148.

lost-writes を register の時間順序で判定してください。
現在の処理は、すべての acknowledged write 値が少なくとも一度 read されることを要求します。通常の履歴 write 1, write 2, read 2 でも、上書きされた 1 を lost と誤判定します。
また、最後の read より後の write と、promotion がない履歴も検査対象になります。成功した promotion の前に確定した対象値と、その後の read を時間順序で比較してください。

すべての learner partition window を対応付けてください。
この処理は最初の :learners-only start と、その後の最初の stop だけを使用します。Jepsen が partition を複数回実行すると、2 回目以降の window 内の write failure を検出しません。
さらに、stop の :scope を確認しないため、別 scope の stop が learner partition を終了したものとして扱われます。イベントを順番に処理し、同じ scope の start と stop を各 window ごとに対応付けてください。

The constructed test has no :client or :nemesis, and its sole generator is gen/nemesis applied to nil. Consequently a real run cannot emit any of the documented :write, :read, :add-learner, :promote-learner, or partition operations; it can finish with an empty history, which this checker reports as valid. The workload therefore never exercises the behavior it claims to test.

In a non-local run this uses the standard ElastickvDB, whose setup loops over every node after the bootstrap node and invokes raftadmin add_voter (jepsen/src/elastickv/db.clj:179-186,206-222). Thus all nodes in this test are already voters before the workload starts, and no node is available to attach as the learner described by :add-learner; the test needs a setup path that starts or reserves at least one non-member learner candidate.

Set subtraction does not establish that an acknowledged register write was lost across a promotion. For example, the legal sequential history write 1 :ok, write 2 :ok, promote :ok, read 2 :ok is marked invalid because 1 was overwritten without ever being read; conversely, a read of 1 before the write can satisfy observed and conceal its later loss. The checker must use temporal ordering and validate the latest relevant pre-promotion write against a subsequent read (or use a register linearizability checker).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When the nemesis runs more than one learner-only partition, this examines only the first start and the first later stop. A failed write during the second or any subsequent learner-isolation window is therefore omitted from :learner-quorum-stalls, allowing the claimed quorum property to pass despite a later regression. Each start must be paired with its corresponding stop and all resulting intervals checked.

For a successful promotion whose completion lacks either :match or :leader-commit-index—for example because status collection failed—the numeric guards simply exclude the operation from premature-promotions, so the safety checker can return :valid? true without checking catch-up at all. A successful but unmeasurable promotion should make the result invalid or unknown rather than silently pass.

This checker looks for failed writes, but the cited quorumAckTracker is consumed by LastQuorumAck to enable the leader-local lease-read fast path (internal/raftengine/etcd/engine.go:1197-1223); it is not the Raft write-commit quorum. If a learner is incorrectly included in that tracker, writes can continue succeeding while reads lose the lease fast path and stall or fall back to LinearizableRead, so this property remains green under the exact regression it claims to detect. The partition phase must issue and measure lease reads instead.

The new namespace ends after this constructor and defines no -main, while elastickv.jepsen-test neither requires it nor adds it to test-fns. Therefore neither established invocation form can select the workload: running this namespace directly has no main function, and passing elastickv-learner-test to the shared dispatcher falls back to the Redis test. Add a workload -main or register the constructor with the shared CLI.

A normal Jepsen operation appears in history as an :invoke event followed by an :ok, :fail, or :info completion, but promotion-ops selects both records. Consequently :promotions reports two promotions for each completed call—and can also count an invocation with no completion—so experiment coverage is overstated. Filter to completion events or explicitly pair each invocation with its completion before counting.

Comparing Match with the leader's current commit index falsely rejects the documented safe workflow under ongoing writes. An operator can sample commit index T, wait until the learner reaches T, and successfully promote with min_applied_index=T; if the leader commits more entries meanwhile, the completion legitimately has match >= T but match < leader-commit-index and this checker marks the healthy run invalid. This also conflicts with the runbook's supported “within N entries” policy (docs/raft_learner_operations.md:137-146); validate the immutable target supplied to the promotion rather than a later moving leader position.

My initial checker flagged a promotion as premature when
min-applied-index <= match. That's wrong, and it failed immediately on the correct case.Comparing
min-applied-indexagainstMatchcannot express this property at all. The engine's own test isMatch >= min-applied-index, so an operator who reads the learner's currentMatchand passes it back satisfies it by construction.
