LiteFS replica disconnection issues

bencdavis · November 10, 2022, 8:27pm

I’ve recently deployed an app using LiteFS in two regions: primary in Toronto and the replica in Sydney. Initial deployment works great with replication working as expected. However after some amount of time (could be hours or maybe a day), replication begins to fail with the following errors:

 2022-11-10T20:19:21.529 app[7831561d] syd [info] replica disconnected, retrying: connect to primary: invalid response: code=503 ('http://d968ff0c.vm.cool-stuff-api.internal:20202')

It doesn’t seem to recover from the issue and only is resolved when I scale down to 0 and then back up to 2.

Here’s my configuration

litefs.yaml:

# The path to where the SQLite database will be accessed.
mount-dir: "/data"

# The path to where the underlying volume mount is.
data-dir: "/mnt/data"

# These environment variables will be available in your Fly.io application.
# You must specify "experiement.enable_consul" for FLY_CONSUL_URL to be available.
consul:
  url: "${FLY_CONSUL_URL}"
  advertise-url: "http://${HOSTNAME}.vm.${FLY_APP_NAME}.internal:20202"

Dockerfile (abbreviated)

# Fetch the LiteFS binary using a multi-stage build.
FROM flyio/litefs:0.3.0-beta2 AS litefs

...

# Copy litefs
COPY --from=litefs /usr/local/bin/litefs /usr/local/bin/litefs

# Copy litefs config
COPY ./litefs.yml /etc/litefs.yml

RUN mkdir -p /data /mnt/data

...

# entrypoint.sh runs migrations and then runs the command via `exec "$@"`
ENTRYPOINT ["litefs", "--", "/code/entrypoint.sh"]
CMD ["uvicorn", "coolstuff.shell.api:app", "--port", "80", "--host", "0.0.0.0"]

My app loads the SQLite database via /data/app_db and currently is not using WAL mode.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for reporting the issue, @bencdavis. It looks like the only spot in LiteFS that returns a 503 is here:

github.com

superfly/litefs/blob/f40cf36930e1d0b259bbbdb72c3fd3a508ff1936/http/server.go#L171-L176


      
          	// Wrap context so that it cancels when the primary lease is lost.
          	r = r.WithContext(s.store.PrimaryCtx(r.Context()))
          	if err := r.Context().Err(); err != nil {
          		Error(w, r, err, http.StatusServiceUnavailable)
          		return
          	}

So it looks like either the server’s context is canceled or the context from the request is canceled. What log messages do you see before this occurs?

Also, can you try hitting the `GET /debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=2" endpoint on both instance’s port 20202 when this occurs? It’ll dump out a bunch of stack traces but that might help narrow down what the cause of the context cancelation is.

Thanks @benbjohnson for the quick response!

Unfortunately the logs are truncated and can’t go far enough back to see before the disconnection. One thing I did notice is I have a bug in my app that causes it to occasionally attempt to write to the local database on the replica which throws a (sqlite3.OperationalError) attempt to write a readonly database from the driver. Presumably that doesn’t effect replication though.

I was only able to get the output of /debug/pprof/goroutine on the replica:

benbjohnson · November 10, 2022, 10:40pm

Yeah, that’s the expected behavior. It’s just LiteFS denying writes against the replica.

Thanks for grabbing this on the replica. I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary with it so perhaps the issue is on the primary.

Hmm, that’s odd that you can’t hit the HTTP server on the primary. Another option is to send a SIGQUIT to the litefs process on there and that will kill the node but also dump out the stack trace.

Hmm, I thought this issue was fixed but someone else just reported the issue too. I’ll get a fix in to gracefully recover from it tomorrow.

One more question: is this a Python app that you’re running? I saw uvicorn and assumed so. Nothing wrong with Python but trying to narrow down if there’s issues with any specific clients.

Thanks!

Sounds good. Does that mean it’ll be able to recover data? One thing I’m a little confused on is how to recover the database file in the event that litefs fails to start. I assumed that I would be able to mount the volume and find the file, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I tried restarting the app without litefs, but when my app accessed the file, it was empty and so it ran the initial migrations as if it was a clean file.

Yep! FastAPI with SQLAlchemy and the pysqlite3 driver (not the async driver).

Ignore this! I realized I was looking in the data directory provided by litefs not the volume mount itself. I see the database file in there now.

benbjohnson · November 11, 2022, 9:49pm

@bencdavis Someone else had a similar issue and I was able to get some fixes in for it. Can you give the new 0.3.0-beta3 release a try?

Or, from Docker it’s: flyio/litefs:0.3.0-beta3

bencdavis · November 11, 2022, 10:55pm

@benbjohnson Just tried starting a single instance with beta3 and it still failing to start with the checksum verification error:

Is it expected that this would be fixed or is it now in an fundamentally inconsistent state due to the disconnection issues? I’m assuming I could manually edit the LTX file so that it matches the current state of the DB. My project is still pre-release so it’s not crucial to maintain 100% consistency.

benbjohnson · November 14, 2022, 2:53pm

@bencdavis If you have a persistent volume, you’ll need to drop and recreate it. The checksum was persisted to the data directory so it’ll reappear on startup until you clear out the data.

You could manually edit the checksum LTX file, however, the LTX file itself has a checksum for its content so you’d need to update that as well.

We could recover by restarting the LTX files based on a snapshot, however, these issues generally shouldn’t happen so it’s better to figure out the root cause rather than automatically recover and ignoring them. Thanks for digging into this and trying it again.

bencdavis · December 16, 2022, 10:07pm

Hey @benbjohnson! I had to focus on other things for the past couple weeks, so I wasn’t able to give this time, but I’m back on it now.

I just upgraded to beta7, recreated the volume, use litefs import to import the existing sqlite file (thanks for that command btw!), and brought up the app with a single instance in one region.

I was then making some changes to my app code and deployed a couple times. The first redeploy after initializing litefs worked fine, but the second hit the same LTX checksum failure.

Here’s the entire log, including the first run that created the database in litefs, the EOF (which I’m guessing was a result of me running litefs import), a bunch of requests I made to my app (including an error that was my fault), and then a bunch of failed app starts due to the checksum issue:

So my initial thought is is this somehow related to me not having multiple instances running? Is there a presumption of there always being a primary? And as the primary is being shutdown during the deployment and no replica to takeover, is that somehow causing the ltx to be out of date?

benbjohnson · December 16, 2022, 10:15pm

hey @bencdavis, thanks for giving it another try. I’ve reworked the whole checksumming system since beta7 since it was too easy to end up with inconsistencies. Overall it’s been working a lot better. It was a fairly substantial change so I’ve been doing testing since then and working out some kinks. I’m hoping to have a beta8 early next week. Hopefully that’s the last v0.3.0 beta!

LiteFS should run fine with a single node deployment. Checksum issues could prevent this though. I’ll do some additional testing around takeovers before I ship the beta8.

Sounds great! I’ll keep an eye on the GH releases and try it out when it’s ready. It’s pretty easy for me to switch back and forth, so I’m very happy to test out these beta releases.

bencdavis · December 29, 2022, 2:46pm

Hey @benbjohnson! Just updated to the newly released v0.3 and all the issues I was experiencing before seem to be completely resolved. It worked flawlessly with a single instance in a single region and equally well with two regions, with two instances running in the region I’ve constrained the primary to. The logic to replay mutating requests to the primary and the logic to support waiting for a replica to catch up to the last written transaction ID was surprisingly simple; works great so far. Based on my initial tests, the replication is so fast that no requests have had to wait at all.

Thanks for all the back and forth on this. Couldn’t be more pleased with the end result!

bencdavis · December 29, 2022, 2:50pm

I have a simple question that doesn’t seem worth creating another topic for: how do I enable WAL mode? I assumed I’d just run PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL; on the database file (which as I understand it is a permanent change, not one scoped to the connection), but it doesn’t seem to work. There’s neither a WAL file alongside the database file (as I write this I’m wondering if I’m doing it against the wrong file? I assumed I’d do it against the virtual file in the fuse mount?), and on startup I see this wal-sync: no wal file exists on "coolstuff", skipping sync with ltx.

benbjohnson · December 29, 2022, 5:38pm

That’s awesome, @bencdavis! I’m glad to hear it’s working well for you. Let me know if you run into any issues.

You should just need to run PRAGMA journal_mode = wal on the primary node. The wal-sync message you posted is kinda confusing. SQLite will automatically clean up the WAL file and merge it into the database file when it closes cleanly. The wal-sync message occurs on startup because LiteFS ensures the transaction files it writes and the WAL file are in sync but it skips the check if there’s no WAL file.

You can verify if your database is in WAL mode by running PRAGMA journal_mode from the sqlite3 CLI and it should return "wal".

lifeiscontent · May 22, 2023, 8:09am

Hey Ben, I just ran into this, I tried creating another volume to make it so that when I deploy the app doesn’t go down, but in doing so I seem to have gotten myself into a similar issue.

I don’t see PRAGMA journal_mode = wal anywhere in the codebase in GitHub - epicweb-dev/epic-stack: This is a Remix Stack with the foundational things setup and configured for you to hit the ground running on your next EPIC idea. is this something that must be run? if so, when? and how would you go about doing it?

happy to share more info if something comes to mind, but right now I’m unable to access my deployment due to this issue.

@lifeiscontent Can you share your litefs.yml file? And can you run fly status to see what "platform" you’re running? It’s either “nomad” or “machines”.

benbjohnson · May 23, 2023, 12:02am

You don’t need to run in WAL mode. LiteFS supports both the rollback journal & WAL.

lifeiscontent · May 23, 2023, 2:04am
