Hi Justin,


Adjusting the timeout doesn't seem to have any effect. Though setting it low enough does cause the master to time out waiting for the slave to acknowledge the write and falls back to async only to immediately re-establish semi-sync replication. It does this every time the master begins writing to a new binlog.


Joseph.

Hi,

Does the problem appear if you set the timeout value to 9223372036854775807?

Hi Pavel.


To describe the setup a little better the master replicates to a semi-sync slave, which then replicates to an async slave. This is to ensure at any point in time both the master and the semi-sync slave have a complete copy of the data. If the master fails the semi-sync is automatically promoted to master and the async switches to replicating with semi-sync replication. If the semi-sync fails then the async remasters itself to the master and switches to semi-sync.


However I don't think the 3rd node has any bearing on the hang, I built a test cluster without it and the hang is still easy to reproduce. I just restore a decent sized dump, in this case a portion of the Wikipedia database and the cluster reliably hangs when the master begins writing to the new binlog.

The dump is here if someone wants to use it to reproduce: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-category.sql.gz


I have created a gist with the output of `SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Rpl_semi_sync%s'` on both master and slave of the simplified 2 node setup. I have also included the binlogs of both the master and the slave and the relay log on the slave.

This looks pretty weird. If you don't mind more information would be useful to look at: contents of mariadb-bin.000005 on the master, in particular what GTID and binlog position the transaction waiting for semi-sync ack has (confirm that it's 0-1684280839-156 and ends at offset 329); result of "show status like 'rpl_semi_sync_%'" on both master and slave; contents of relay-bin.000005 and binlog on the slave, in particular did it really execute the transaction that is currently hanging on the master? Out of curiosity: it looks like the slave also acts as a master to someone else. Can you also verify that the transaction hanging now on the master made it to that second-level slave?

But to be honest, I don't quite understand how what you show us could happen, so I'm just asking to look at the info that I would look at if I were investigating such problem.

Hi Pavel.

Yes, by “binlog filename changes” I mean the master begins writing to a new binlog file.

Output of all the requested commands are in this gist: https://gist.github.com/josephglanville/7b96c34bb6e79ace33e56627672b98a5

By "binlog filename changes" you mean when master starts writing binlogs into a new file? Can you clarify how the replication stalls? What "show processlist" shows at that time on master and on slave? What does "show slave status" show on the slave?
