The main goal is to have a cache operation's latency less than 500 ms on node fail/left.
Currently, latency can be increased to seconds or even dozens of seconds.
The Switch is a process that allows performing cluster-wide operations that lead to a new cluster state (eg. cache creation/destroy, node join/left/fail, snapshot creation/restore, etc).
Historically, Switch performs PME (Partition Map Exchange) even in case partition distribution was_not/will_not_be changed.
It's possible to avoid PME on node left if partition distribution is fixed (eg. baseline node left on a fully rebalanced cluster).
This optimization will allow us to continue operations (not affected by primary node failure) during or after the switch.
In case nodes combined into virtual cells where, for each partition, backups located at the same cell with primaries, it's possible to finish the Switch outside the affected cell before tx recovery finish.
This optimization will allow us to start and even finish new operations without waiting for a cluster-wide Switch finish.
Code should be analyzed for useless sleeps, recovery start priority, possible code optimizations, etc.
Some constants used at failure detection are hardcoded and large.
The code responsible for this feature performs a lot of re-checks and re-waits and you may have detection time close to failureDetectionTimeout x2 or even x3.
GC may increase failure detection dramatically.
While node in STW it can't let cluster know it exceeds possible STW duration.
Also, the node may start operating after the STW exceeding, this may cause additional performance degradation.
A good case is to detect GC time locally (from another JVM or native code) and kill the node in case of exceeding.
Ring-based topology does not allow to perform the fast switch.
Zookeeper or similar coordinator should be used.
