Hey there,
I'm playing with a two node riak 1.1.1 cluster, but can't figure how to
make riak happy with only one node (and the other one failed).
My use case is the following:
- HTML pages gets stored in the riak cluster (it's used as a page cache)
- I'm using secondary indexes to tag those documents
- When I need to invalidate some HTML pages, I make a query on those
secondary indexes to retrieve the list of keys that needs to be deleted
(documents matching a specific tag value)
The bucket is configured with
{"props":{"n_val":2,"allow_mult":false,"r":1,"w":1,"dw":0,"rw":1}}.
Everything is working fine when both node are up and running.
However, if I turn one node off, secondary indexes queries returns
{error,{error,insufficient_vnodes_available}} errors.
I can't find a way to have the cluster converge to a stable state on only one
node.
(192.168.0.21 is the node that has been turned off, by just stopping riak with
/etc/init.d/riak stop)
root@192.168.0.51:~# riak-admin member_status
Attempting to restart script through sudo -u riak
================================= Membership==================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=> 192.168.0.21 is not seen as being down, not sure if it's an issue or not
root@192.168.0.51:~# riak-admin transfers
Attempting to restart script through sudo -u riak
Nodes ['riak@192.168.0.21'] are currently down.
'riak@192.168.0.51' waiting to handoff 5 partitions
=> by creating/reading many keys, I finally get "waiting to handoff 32
partitions", which seems OK to me (ring size is 64, so each node should
normally own 32).
=> however, secondary indexes queries always fails, until I turn the failed
node ON again.
I tried to force "riak-admin down riak@192.168.0.21" from the valid node, but
no luck either.
Not being able to use secondary indexes while a node is down is a real problem.
Is this expected behavior, or what am I missing?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Cedric
