      Reimplement election (of the primary master) · 23b6a66a
      Julien Muchembled authored
      The election is not a separate process anymore.
      It happens during the RECOVERING phase, and there's no use of timeouts anymore.
      
      Each master node keeps a timestamp of when it started to play the primary role,
      and the node with the smallest timestamp is elected. The election stops when
      the cluster is started: as long as it is operational, the primary master can't
      be deposed.
      
      An election must happen whenever the cluster is not operational anymore, to
      handle the case of a network cut between a primary master and all other nodes:
      then another master node (secondary) takes over and when the initial primary
      master is back, it loses against the new primary master if the cluster is
      already started.

      Implement deadlock avoidance · 092992db
      Julien Muchembled authored
      This is a first version with several optimizations possible:
      - improve EventQueue (or implement a specific queue) to minimize deadlocks
      - turn the RebaseObject packet into a notification
      
      Sorting oids could also be useful to reduce the probability of deadlocks,
      but that would never be enough to avoid them completely, even if there's a
      single storage. For example:
      
      1. C1 does a first store (x or y)
      2. C2 stores x and y; one is delayed
      3. C1 stores the other -> deadlock
         When solving the deadlock, the data of the first store may only
         exist on the storage.
      
      2 functional tests are removed because they're redundant,
      either with ZODB tests or with the new threaded tests.

      storage: defer commit when unlocking a transaction (-> better performance) · eaa07e25
      Julien Muchembled authored
      Before this change, a storage node did 3 commits per transaction:
      - once all data are stored
      - when locking the transaction
      - when unlocking the transaction
      
      The last one is not important for ACID. In case of a crash, the transaction
      is unlocked again (verification phase). By deferring it by 1 second, we
      only have 2 commits per transaction during high activity because all pending
      changes are merged with the commits caused by other transactions.
      
      This change compensates the extra commit(s) per transaction that were
      introduced in commit 7eb7cf1b
      ("Minimize the amount of work during tpc_finish").

      Safer DB truncation, new 'truncate' ctl command · d3c8b76d
      Julien Muchembled authored
      With the previous commit, the request to truncate the DB was not stored
      persistently, which means that this operation was still vulnerable to the case
      where the master is restarted after some nodes, but not all, have already
      truncated. The master didn't have the information to fix this and the result
      was a DB partially truncated.
      
      -> On a Truncate packet, a storage node only stores the tid somewhere, to send
         it back to the master, which stays in RECOVERING state as long as any node
         has a different value than that of the node with the latest partition table.
      
      We also want to make sure that there is no unfinished data, because a user may
      truncate at a tid higher than a locked one.
      
      -> Truncation is now effective at the end on the VERIFYING phase, just before
         returning the last ids to the master.
      
      At last all nodes should be truncated, to avoid that an offline node comes back
      with a different history. Currently, this would not be an issue since
      replication is always restart from the beginning, but later we'd like they
      remember where they stopped to replicate.
      
      -> If a truncation is requested, the master waits for all nodes to be pending,
         even if it was previously started (the user can still force the cluster to
         start with neoctl). And any lost node during verification also causes the
         master to go back to recovery.
      
      Obviously, the protocol has been changed to split the LastIDs packet and
      introduce a new Recovery, since it does not make sense anymore to ask last ids
      during recovery.

      Minimize the amount of work during tpc_finish · 7eb7cf1b
      Julien Muchembled authored
      NEO did not ensure that all data and metadata are written on disk before
      tpc_finish, and it was for example vulnerable to ENOSPC errors.
      In other words, some work had to be moved to tpc_vote:
      
      - In tpc_vote, all involved storage nodes are now asked to write all metadata
        to ttrans/tobj and _commit_. Because the final tid is not known yet, the tid
        column of ttrans and tobj now contains NULL and the ttid respectively.
      
      - In tpc_finish, AskLockInformation is still required for read locking,
        ttrans.tid is updated with the final value and this change is _committed_.
      
      - The verification phase is greatly simplified, more reliable and faster. For
        all voted transactions, we can know if a tpc_finish was started by getting
        the final tid from the ttid, either from ttrans or from trans. And we know
        that such transactions can't be partial so we don't need to check oids.
      
      So in addition to minimizing the risk of failures during tpc_finish, we also
      fix a bug causing the verification phase to discard transactions with objects
      for which readCurrent was called.
      
      On performance side:
      
      - Although tpc_vote now asks all involved storages, instead of only those
        storing the transaction metadata, the client has been improved to do this
        in parallel. The additional commits are also all done in parallel.
      
      - A possible improvement to compensate the additional commits is to delay the
        commit done by the unlock.
      
      - By minimizing the time to lock transactions, objects are read-locked for a
        much shorter period. This is even more important that locked transactions
        must be unlocked in the same order.
      
      Transactions with too many modified objects will now timeout inside tpc_vote
      instead of tpc_finish. Of course, such transactions may still cause other
      transaction to timeout in tpc_finish.

      Fix occasional deadlocks in threaded tests · 0b93b1fb
      Julien Muchembled authored
      deadlocks mainly happened while stopping a cluster, hence the complete review
      of NEOCluster.stop()
      
      A major change is to make the client node handle its lock like other nodes
      (i.e. in the polling thread itself) to better know when to call
      Serialized.background() (there was a race condition with the test of
      'self.poll_thread.isAlive()' in ClientApplication.close).

      Do not reconnect too quickly to a node after an error · d898a83d
      Julien Muchembled authored
      For example, a backup storage node that was rejected because the upstream
      cluster was not ready could reconnect in loop without delay, using 100% CPU
      and flooding logs.
      
      A new 'setReconnectionNoDelay' method on Connection can be used for cases where
      it's legitimate to quickly reconnect.
      
      With this new delayed reconnection, it's possible to remove the remaining
      time.sleep().

      client: clean up import/export code · d562bf8f
      Julien Muchembled authored
      Export:
      - Remove leftover warning about a bug that was fixed in
        commit e76af297
      - In neomigrate script, open NEO storage read-only.
      - IStorageIteration is already implemented.
      
      Import:
      - Review comments.
      - In neomigrate script, warn that IStorageRestoreable is not implemented.
      - Do not call 'close' method on source iterator. BaseStorage does not do it and
        this is not part of ZODB API. In the case of FileStorage, resource are freed
        automatically during garbage collection.

      Add test showing that clients may be stuck on an old snapshot in case of failure during tpc_finish · fd4cfaa9

      onTransactionCommitted, recovery phase should be run again, so that the master
