ConsistentCut is a distributed algorithm that splits timeline WAL on 2 global areas - BEFORE Before
and AFTER After
. It guarantees that every transaction committed BEFORE committed Before
also will be committed BEFORE Before
on every other node participated in the transaction. It means that an Ignite node nodes can safely recover itself to this point themself to the consistent Before
state without any coordination with other nodes.
each other.
The border between Before
and After
areas consists of two WAL records - ConsistentCutStartRecord
and ConsistentCutFinishRecord
. It guarantees that the Before
consists of:
ConsistentCutStartRecord
AND weren't included into ConsistentCutFinishRecord#after().
ConsistentCutStartRecord
and ConsistentCutFinishRecord
AND were included into ConsistentCutFinishRecord#before()
.On the picture below the Before
area consist of transactions colored to yellow, while After
is green.

future equals to null
.committingTxs
that goal is to track COMMITTING+ transactions, that aren't part of IgniteTxManager#activeTx
.DistributedProcess

that holds new ConsistentCutId
(goal is to notify every node in a cluster about running incremental snapshot). ConsistentCutMarker

Ignite transaction protocol includes multiple messages. But only some of them affects meaningful (relating to the algorithm) that change state of transactions (PREPARED, COMMITTED):
GridNearTxPrepareRequest / GridDhtTxPrepareRequest
GridNearTxPrepareResponse / GridDhtTxPrepareResponse
GridNearTxFinishRequest / GridDhtTxFinishRequest
Those messages are wrapped in ConsistentCutAwareMessage
that is prepared right before sending message on other node. They used the current ConsistentCutId
.
Also some messages require to be signed with ConsistentCutMarker
combine with additional ConsistentCutId
to check it them on primary/backup node:
GridNearTxFinishRequest / GridDhtTxFinishRequest
GridNearTxPrepareResponse / GridDhtTxPrepareResponse
(for 1PC algorithm).There are 2 records: ConsistentCutStartRecord
for Start event and ConsistentCutFinishRecord
for Finish event.
ConsistentCutStartRecord
: record is written to WAL in moment when CC starts on a local node. It helps to limit amout of active transactions to check. But there is no strict guarantee for all transactions belonged to the BEFORE side to be physically committed before ConsistentCutStartRecord, and vice versa. This is the reason for having ConsistentCutFinishRecord.ConsistentCutFinishRecord
: This record is written to WAL after Consistent Cut stopped analyzing transactions and storing them in a particular bucket (BEFORE or AFTER)....
Those messages are filled with txCutId
that is prepared right before transaction starts committing on first committing node. They used the current ConsistentCutId
for this setting. If current ConsistentCutId
is not null, then transaction starts committing after ConsistentCut started and it means that this transaction belongs the After
side.

There are some cases to handle for unstable topology:
TBD: Which ways to use to avoid inconsistency between data and WAL after rebalance. There are options:
