When a new node join in the cluster by what process a node learn its relationship in the cluster?
Bootstraping is the process of adding a new node in the cluster.
1) Joining node contact a seed node
2) the seed node communicates cluster info including token tanges to the joining node
3) Existing cluster nodes prepare to stream necessary sstables to the joining node
4) Existing cluster nodes stream necessary sstables to the joining node (it can be time consuming)
5)Existing cluster nodes continue to satistfy writes but also forward write to the joining node
6) When streaming is complete, joining node changes to normal state and handles read and write requests
How to do that ? Four main parameters to bootstrap a node:
1) cluster name
2) native_transport_address
3) Listen_address
4) -seeds
A new node bootstraps into the cluster by the following high level steps.
- Joining node contacts a seed node to learn about gossip state.
- Joining node transitions to Up and Joining state (to indicate it is joining the cluster; represented by UJ in the nodetool status).
- Contacts the seed nodes to ensure schema agreement.
- Seed node shares cluster information with the joining node including token information.
- Joining node calculates token(s) it is responsible for and shares with seed node.
- Existing nodes prepare to stream data to joining node.
- existing nodes stream only the SSTables that hold keys for new node.No data is removed from existing nodes.
- Writes during this streaming period continue to be written to the existing nodes.these writes get forwarded to new node.
- Joining node switches from JOINING to NORMAL state.write and read request no go to the new node.
