Solution

Gw sender failover

...

Gw sender pings not reaching gw receivers

We think the reason behind the issue of the pings is the way they are created. When a new server connection is established, a new PingTask is created and will be in charge of running the PingOp:

We have implemented a solution for this issue in the following commit: https://github.com/apache/geode/pull/4713/commits/f896f04df291246d420cab88b660fc9736fca49b

There is just one test failing (testExecuteOp from ConnectionPoolImplJUnitTest) that causes integration test and stress test tasks to fail. The tests works locally, only fails in concourse.


Solution consists on refactoring some maps on LocatorLoadSnapshot class. They use ServerLocation objects as key, this has to change due to it will not be unique for each server. We changed the maps to use InternalDistributedMember objects as key for the map entries. The ServerLocation information is not lost, as it is contained in the entry value for all the maps.

The same refactoring is done in EndPointManager, as it holds a map of endpoints that also uses ServerLocation objects as key.
