This is not very convenient since a user may not know initially how many replicas will be used. Moreover the number of replicas may vary dynamically. For this sake we allow to specify the number of quorum in a symbolic way. For example box.cfg { replication_synchro_quorum = "N/2+1", } where `N` is a number of registered replicas in a cluster. Once new replica attached or old one detached the number is renewed and propagated. Internally on each replica_set_id() and replica_clear_id(), ie at moment when replica get registered or unregistered, we call box_update_replication_synchro_quorum() helper which finds out if evaluation of replication_synchro_quorum is needed and if so we calculate new replication_synchro_quorum value based on number of currently registered replicas. Then we notify dependent systems such as qsync and raft to update their guts. Note: we do *not* change the default settings for this option, it remains 1 by default for now. Change the default option should be done as a separate commit once we make sure that everything is fine. Closes #5446 Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov @TarantoolBot document Title: Synchronous replication The plain integer value might be convenient for simple scenarios. But in case if number of replicas is dynamic a better way should be to describe a quorum via formula. The formula should use symbol `N` to represent amount of registered replicas. For example the canonical definition for a quorum (ie majority of members in a set) of `N` replicas is `N/2+1`. For such configuration one can define ``` box.cfg {replication_synchro_quorum = "N/2+1"} ``` Note that for sake of simplicity quorum evaluation never returns negative values thus for the case of formula say `N-2` the result will be 1 until number of replicas become 4 and more. --- src/box/box.cc | 121 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- src/box/box.h | 1 + src/box/lua/load_cfg.lua | 2 +- src/box/replication.cc | 4 +- 4 files changed, 121 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/box/box.cc b/src/box/box.cc index a8bc3471d..2076a8dc3 100644 --- a/src/box/box.cc +++ b/src/box/box.cc @@ -554,10 +554,91 @@ box_check_replication_sync_lag(void) return lag;
