David Smiley resolved SOLR-16843.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Categorizing "Won't Fix" because 8.x is EOL and the project decided to do no
more releases.
> timestamp issue with autoscaling framework
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-16843
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-16843
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AutoScaling
> Affects Versions: 8.11
> Reporter: Pierre Salagnac
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: autoscaling
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The framework does not exist anymore with Solr 9+, so this bug only impacts
> Solr 8.x.
>
> Triggers in autoscaling framework use timestamps returned by the JVM call
> {{{}System.nanoTime(){}}}, but according to the Javadoc, this is NOT an
> absolute timestamp. This is just a number relative to a random origin, and
> this origin will change each time the JVM is restarted.
>
> I figured out this impacts at least the following triggers (with basically
> the same pattern),
> - {{IndexSizeTrigger}}
> - {{MetricTrigger}}
> - {{SearchRateTrigger}}
>
> These triggers want to fire an event when a certain condition (depending on
> each trigger) is met for a certain period of time. They maintain a map with
> [what, timestamp] entries to track a short term history, with the option to
> remove an entry if the condition is not met anymore, so we don't trigger any
> event.
> Timestamps come from {{{}System.nanoTime(){}}}. So far so good as long as we
> compare these timestamps to each others in the same JVM. Now, this map is
> persisted in Zookeeper in case of an overseer change (written and read by
> {{TriggerBase.saveState()}} and {{restoreState()}}). With an overseer change,
> the {{nanoTime()}} origin is randomly moved to something else. Consequently,
> all the persisted timestamps from the previous overseer cannot be compared
> with the current JVM "clock".
> This ends in triggers never being fired, or being fired without waiting for
> the time configured.
>
>
> Simple fix could be to always use {{TimeSource.getEpochTimeNs()}} instead of
> {{getTimeNs()}} in autoscaling code.
