Write race condition while migrating/importing a slot

[phyok]

Bug Report

Current Behavior

While a slot with a lot of data is being migrated from one master M1 to another master M2, the slot will be in MIGRATING state in M1 and IMPORTING state in M2 for sometime due to the large amount of data being copied.

During this state, when a command C1 was sent to M1 and M1 reply with ASK M2, lettuce might not send ASKING immediately followed by C1 to M2. In this scenario, the client will be bounced back and forth between M1 and M2 until ASKING + C1 are sent consecutively to M2 or the maxRedirect count is reached. In the example below, we can see that the client is sending other commands between ASKING and C1.

The probability of the above scenario happening increases with the amount of data in the slot and the QPS the client is handling. The symptom can be alleviated by increasing the maxRedirect count as this gives lettuce more retries to get ASKING + C1 commands sent consecutively.

Expected behavior/code

The command C1 above should immediately follow the "ASKING" request. Please see redis doc for more details.

Environment

• Lettuce version(s): 5.2.0.RELEASE
• Redis version: [e.g. 4.0.9]

Possible Solution

Additional context

[mp911de]

Thanks for report. There's indeed a loophole that allows sending unrelated commands between ASKING and the redirected command. We should fix that issue.

[mp911de]

That's fixed now.

[phyok]

Thank you for the fix.
