jepsen: add the learner attach/promote-under-partition workload - #1231
jepsen: add the learner attach/promote-under-partition workload#1231bootjp wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
Closes the Milestone 3 hardening item the learner design deferred:
"Jepsen workload that exercises learner attach during partition and
promote after heal."
The checker pins three properties, each revert-checked:
- promotion never outruns catch-up;
- no acknowledged write is lost across a promotion, since adding a
voter changes the quorum denominator;
- a learner never counts toward the voter quorum, expressed as: no
write may fail while a partition isolates only learners.
The first property needed a correction the tests caught. Comparing
min-applied-index against the learner's Match cannot express it: the
engine's own test is Match >= min-applied-index, so an operator who
reads the learner's current Match and passes it back satisfies the
check by construction. Both that broken call and the correct one — pick
the leader's commit index as a target, wait for Match to reach it —
end with min-applied-index == Match, so the equality distinguishes
nothing. Catch-up is therefore measured against the LEADER's commit
index, and a test pins two histories that are identical on
(min-applied-index, match) yet must be judged differently.
Verified with the full suite: 162 tests, 0 failures, up from 148.

The constructed test has no :client or :nemesis, and its sole generator is gen/nemesis applied to nil. Consequently a real run cannot emit any of the documented :write, :read, :add-learner, :promote-learner, or partition operations; it can finish with an empty history, which this checker reports as valid. The workload therefore never exercises the behavior it claims to test.

In a non-local run this uses the standard ElastickvDB, whose setup loops over every node after the bootstrap node and invokes raftadmin add_voter (jepsen/src/elastickv/db.clj:179-186,206-222). Thus all nodes in this test are already voters before the workload starts, and no node is available to attach as the learner described by :add-learner; the test needs a setup path that starts or reserves at least one non-member learner candidate.

Set subtraction does not establish that an acknowledged register write was lost across a promotion. For example, the legal sequential history write 1 :ok, write 2 :ok, promote :ok, read 2 :ok is marked invalid because 1 was overwritten without ever being read; conversely, a read of 1 before the write can satisfy observed and conceal its later loss. The checker must use temporal ordering and validate the latest relevant pre-promotion write against a subsequent read (or use a register linearizability checker).

When the nemesis runs more than one learner-only partition, this examines only the first start and the first later stop. A failed write during the second or any subsequent learner-isolation window is therefore omitted from :learner-quorum-stalls, allowing the claimed quorum property to pass despite a later regression. Each start must be paired with its corresponding stop and all resulting intervals checked.

For a successful promotion whose completion lacks either :match or :leader-commit-index—for example because status collection failed—the numeric guards simply exclude the operation from premature-promotions, so the safety checker can return :valid? true without checking catch-up at all. A successful but unmeasurable promotion should make the result invalid or unknown rather than silently pass.

This checker looks for failed writes, but the cited quorumAckTracker is consumed by LastQuorumAck to enable the leader-local lease-read fast path (internal/raftengine/etcd/engine.go:1197-1223); it is not the Raft write-commit quorum. If a learner is incorrectly included in that tracker, writes can continue succeeding while reads lose the lease fast path and stall or fall back to LinearizableRead, so this property remains green under the exact regression it claims to detect. The partition phase must issue and measure lease reads instead.

The new namespace ends after this constructor and defines no -main, while elastickv.jepsen-test neither requires it nor adds it to test-fns. Therefore neither established invocation form can select the workload: running this namespace directly has no main function, and passing elastickv-learner-test to the shared dispatcher falls back to the Redis test. Add a workload -main or register the constructor with the shared CLI.

A normal Jepsen operation appears in history as an :invoke event followed by an :ok, :fail, or :info completion, but promotion-ops selects both records. Consequently :promotions reports two promotions for each completed call—and can also count an invocation with no completion—so experiment coverage is overstated. Filter to completion events or explicitly pair each invocation with its completion before counting.

Comparing Match with the leader's current commit index falsely rejects the documented safe workflow under ongoing writes. An operator can sample commit index T, wait until the learner reaches T, and successfully promote with min_applied_index=T; if the leader commits more entries meanwhile, the completion legitimately has match >= T but match < leader-commit-index and this checker marks the healthy run invalid. This also conflicts with the runbook's supported “within N entries” policy (docs/raft_learner_operations.md:137-146); validate the immutable target supplied to the promotion rather than a later moving leader position.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
Nine review findings. The headline one is that the workload could not exercise anything it claimed to test: the test map had no :client and no :nemesis, and its only generator was gen/nemesis applied to nil. A real run emitted none of the documented :write, :read, :add-learner or :promote-learner operations, produced an empty history, and the checker reported that as valid. Runnability: - A LearnerClient drives the register over the Redis protocol and membership through raftadmin add_learner / promote_learner. - A nemesis isolates only the reserved learner, leaving voters connected, which is the shape the quorum property needs. - A generator mixes register traffic with one attach/promote cycle, so writes exist to preserve across the promotion. - ElastickvDB gained :reserve-learner. Setup otherwise runs add_voter for every node after the bootstrap one, so every node was already a voter and :add-learner had no non-member to attach. - A -main plus registration in elastickv.jepsen-test: neither invocation form could select this workload before, so passing its name silently ran the Redis test. Checker corrections: - Catch-up is measured against the immutable SAMPLED target, not the leader's current commit index. Comparing Match with min_applied_index proves nothing (the engine's test IS Match >= min_applied_index, so passing the learner's own Match satisfies it by construction), but comparing it with the moving leader position rejects the documented safe workflow: sample T, wait for T, promote, while the leader commits on. The vacuous procedure is instead rejected directly, by recording where the target came from. - A promotion that reports :ok without evidence now fails closed. The numeric guards used to skip it, so the checker could pass having verified catch-up for nothing. - Lost writes are established by temporal ordering. Set subtraction reported an overwritten-but-unread value as lost and could mask a real loss behind an earlier read. - The lease property is measured on lease READS, not writes. quorumAckTracker feeds LastQuorumAck and the leader-local lease-read fast path, not the write-commit quorum, so a write-failure check stayed green through the exact regression it claimed to detect. - Every learner-partition window is checked, each start paired with its own stop; only the first was examined before. - Promotions are counted once per completed call rather than once per history record. - An empty history, or one with no promotion or no reads, is invalid. A run that proved nothing must not report success. The learner's own applied index is used as the catch-up measure rather than the leader's Match for that peer: it is independently observed, so it cannot be satisfied by the leader's bookkeeping, and per-peer Match is not available from `raftadmin status` on this branch anyway.

All nine findings are correct and fixed in 3dd7add. The coderabbit and codex comments overlap substantially, so this covers both sets. The headline finding — "Generate client and nemesis operations" — is the one that mattered most, and it is the third instance of this same failure mode I have hit in this PR series: a gate that cannot fail. The test map had no Runnability
Checker corrections"Validate the sampled catch-up floor instead of a moving commit index" — you are right, and this corrects an over-correction of mine. My original bug was comparing The immutable sampled target is now the reference. The vacuous procedure is rejected directly instead: the client records "Exercise lease reads for the quorum-ack regression" — confirmed, and this is the same class of error as the one you flagged on #1227: "Compare post-promotion state instead of value sets" — confirmed; your counterexample ( "Fail closed when promotion evidence is missing", "Pair every learner partition with its own stop", "Count completed promotion attempts only once" — all confirmed and fixed as described. An empty history, or one with no promotion or no reads, is now invalid. One deliberate substitutionCatch-up is measured by the learner's own applied index, not the leader's Verification
The same honest limitation as on #1232 applies: the SSH-driven client and nemesis cannot be unit-tested, so the tests cover every decision the workload makes (checker properties, generated operations, reserved voter set, status parsing, dispatcher reachability) but not the |

nemesis/partitioner handles the standard :start and :stop operations, not :start-partition and :stop-partition. In a non-local run these generated operations therefore never call the partitioner's network start/stop branches, so the learner is not isolated and the claimed partition workload runs without its fault. Use the partitioner's supported operation names or provide a nemesis implementation that explicitly handles these custom names.

Fresh evidence in this revision is that :lease? true is added only on the successful :read branch, while this catch returns the original read operation, whose value is nil. Consequently every real read exception lacks the marker required by learner-partition-read-failures, so even a read failure during learner isolation is filtered out and the lease regression cannot invalidate the run.

Fresh evidence in the fixed code is that the checker still observes only :fail completions. A Redis GET calls LeaseReadForKeyThrough, but when the lease is unavailable kv/raft_engine.go transparently falls back to LinearizableRead; with the voters connected, the GET succeeds and this predicate stays empty even if learner handling disables the fast path. This also misses the changed design document's stated requirement to assert that lease-read latency is unaffected (docs/design/2026_04_26_implemented_raft_learner.md:903-907), so the client/checker must record and bound the relevant read latency or otherwise prove the fast path was used.

promotions includes every completion, including :fail and :info, while all promotion-safety predicates filter to :ok. Thus a history containing successful reads and writes plus a failed promotion has a positive promotion count and empty violation lists, and is reported valid even though no learner was promoted.

The read coverage guard counts successful reads anywhere in the history, but lost-writes-across-promotions silently skips a promotion when no successful read follows it. This occurs when catch-up completes near or after the outer time limit, leaving only pre-promotion reads; the checker then reports the run valid without observing any post-promotion state.

This branch discards Carmine's SET reply and marks every non-throwing response :ok. Carmine can return nil or a Throwable value on missing, protocol, and some error-reply paths, so the checker may treat a write with no confirmed acknowledgement as durable and later report either false loss or false preservation.

Each client connects to its assigned Jepsen node, including the learner candidate. During the learner-only partition, a GET issued through the learner must proxy to the leader across the partition and can legitimately fail even when the leader's lease is completely healthy; once failed reads are recorded correctly, the checker will misdiagnose those client-placement failures as a quorum-ack regression. Lease probes used for this property must target the leader or another connected voter, while ordinary register traffic can remain distributed.

The infinite cycle keeps isolating the same candidate after the single promotion phase has converted it into a voter. With the default 30-second run, a second partition begins around 20 seconds and is still labeled :learners-only, so later failures or latency are attributed to learner behavior even though the isolated node now participates in quorum; smaller custom clusters can even lose a legitimate voter quorum. Generate only the intended pre-promotion learner window or coordinate later faults with current membership.

Reserving the candidate only removes it from the later add_voter loop; start-node! still launches it as a fresh non-bootstrap cmd/server process without any Raft peers. That binary passes Bootstrap=false and an empty Peers slice to the etcd engine, whose fresh-start guard rejects this state with errNoPeersConfigured, so the reserved node exits before :add-learner can attach it. Start the candidate with the existing-cluster peer seed/join mode (and learner intent where supported) rather than merely withholding the voter RPC.

LearnerClient.open! looks for :redis-host in the completed test map, but this constructor never associates that option. Consequently programmatic callers cannot override the Redis host, and local or port-mapped runs try to resolve each logical node name instead of connecting to the requested host; parsing --host alone would not fix this because the value still has to be normalized and copied into the test. Preserve the prepared host override here as the Redis workload does.

Twelve findings. Several are the same shape as the ones fixed last round, one level down: the workload could now emit operations, but the fault never happened and three of the properties could not fail. The fault: - The generator emitted :start-partition / :stop-partition while jepsen.nemesis/partitioner dispatches on :start / :stop, so no branch matched and the learner was never isolated -- and the op's :value would have been taken as the grudge, which it is not. The nemesis is now implemented directly and handles those names. - The partition ran on an infinite cycle, so a window opened after the promotion still carried the :learners-only label while isolating a node that had become a voter. One window now opens and closes before the promotion phase. - The reserved candidate was only withheld from the add_voter loop; it still launched as a fresh non-bootstrap process with no peers, which the etcd engine refuses with errNoPeersConfigured, so it exited before :add-learner could attach it. It now starts with --raftJoinMembers and --raftJoinAsLearner, which exist for exactly this. The properties: - Failed reads kept no :lease? marker, so learner-partition-read-failures filtered out every real read exception and the lease property could not fire at all. - Failures alone cannot detect the quorum-ack regression anyway: a GET calls LeaseReadForKeyThrough and the engine falls back to LinearizableRead transparently, so with the voters connected the read SUCCEEDS. The client records latency and the checker bounds it. - The coverage gate counted every promotion completion, so a history whose only promotion FAILED had a positive count while every safety predicate -- all of which filter to :ok -- saw nothing. - lost-writes-across-promotions silently skips a promotion it cannot pair with a later read; counting reads anywhere in the history hid that, so a run could pass having observed no post-promotion state. Each successful promotion now requires one. - That read is selected by INVOCATION time. A read invoked before the promotion can linearize against the old value and return after it; selecting on completion accepted it as evidence and also reported the acknowledged write as lost. The client: - SET replies are checked for "OK". Carmine returns nil or a Throwable on missing, protocol and some error-reply paths, and treating those as acknowledged lets the checker call an unconfirmed write durable. Anything else is :info, which is what an unacknowledged write is. - Lease probes go to a connected voter. A GET through the isolated learner proxies to the leader across the partition and can fail with a perfectly healthy lease, which the checker would read as the regression. The entry point: - prepare-learner-opts replaces identity. common-cli-opts leaves :nodes as a comma-separated string, so the constructor treated a string as a node collection: learner-candidate returned its last character and the port map was keyed by characters. - :redis-host is carried into the test map so the client honours it. server-args is extracted as a pure function, as on the encrypted-cluster workload and for the same reason: a test that can only observe the process passes while a flag is silently dropped.

Third round: all twelve fixed in 60efbbb. Several are the previous round's shape one level down — the workload could emit operations, but the fault never happened and three properties could not fail. The fault never happened"Send operations the partitioner handles" (P1) — confirmed from the source in "Start fresh peers with an explicit join configuration" (P1) — confirmed. "Stop learner partitions after promotion" (P2) — confirmed. One window now opens and closes before the promotion phase, rather than cycling: after promotion the same Properties that could not fire"Retain the lease marker on failed reads" (P1) — confirmed, and this one made my own round-2 property inert: the marker was added only on the success branch, so "Measure lease-path stalls instead of only failures" (P1) — confirmed and more fundamental: a GET calls "Require a successful promotion" (P1) and "Require post-promotion read evidence" (P1) — both confirmed. The gate counted every completion (so a "Require the post-promotion read to start afterward" (P2) — confirmed, and it fixes a false-positive as well as a false-negative: a read invoked before the promotion that linearizes against the old value and returns after it was both accepted as evidence and reported as a lost write. Selection is now by invocation. The client"Validate the Redis write reply" (P1) — confirmed. Replies are checked for "Direct lease probes to a connected voter" (P1) — confirmed, and it matters precisely because the previous finding is fixed: once failed reads are recorded correctly, a GET through the isolated learner proxying across the partition would be misdiagnosed as the quorum-ack regression. Lease probes are pinned to a connected voter; ordinary register traffic stays distributed. "Parse common options" (P2) and "Propagate the Redis host override" (P2) — both confirmed and fixed; Verification

drop-all!
Fresh evidence in the replacement nemesis is that Jepsen 0.3.11 defines net/drop-all! with arguments [net test grudge], but this branch supplies only [test grudge]. Every non-local :start-partition therefore raises an arity error instead of installing the partition, so the fault still never occurs; pass (:net test) as the first argument, matching the adjacent heal! calls.

--raftJoinMembers
Fresh evidence in this revision is that resolveJoinServers explicitly returns ErrJoinMembersMissingLocalNode when the list omits the local --raftId (main.go:1438-1448), while this helper deliberately removes the reserved candidate. Consequently the candidate now receives the join flags but still exits during startup validation; the list must contain the candidate at its own listener address in addition to the existing voters.

Fresh evidence in the latency-based fix is that a 250 ms threshold does not distinguish the two paths: Engine.LinearizableRead issues a ReadIndex immediately, and with all voters connected its quorum round trip can complete in a few milliseconds, with no 250 ms minimum. Thus the learner-denominator regression can turn every GET into a successful slow-path read while every latency remains below this budget and the checker reports valid; compare against a calibrated fast-path baseline or use the existing lease hit/miss instrumentation to prove which path ran.

The read coverage gate counts successful reads anywhere in the run, not attempts made while the candidate is both attached and isolated. The partition starts at roughly 2 seconds, but :add-learner is not issued until after the initial 5-second phase and the partition heals around 6 seconds, leaving a short randomized interval that may contain no read—or may close before attachment finishes; pre-attachment and post-heal reads can then satisfy this gate while the quorum-ack property is never exercised. Require at least one marked read attempt between successful attachment and partition stop.

Fresh evidence in the invocation-time fix is that it records only process IDs, not invocation/completion pairs. If process P invokes a read before promotion, completes it afterward, and then invokes another read after promotion, P belongs to invoked-after, so the earlier pre-promotion completion is selected as the first post-promotion read. This can still admit invalid evidence or report a false lost write; pair each completion with its immediately preceding invocation before applying the time predicate.

Fresh evidence in the temporal checker is that completion order alone does not identify the register's final value when writes overlap. For example, write 1 can run from t=10–40 while write 2 runs from t=20–30; both linearization orders are legal, so a later read of 2 is valid, but this code selects write 1 as the last completion and finds no write invocation after t=40, incorrectly reporting data loss. The ambiguity check must also account for writes overlapping the selected write, or the history should be evaluated with a register linearizability checker.

The live workload cannot make premature-promotions fire because it waits until the candidate's applied index is at least target before calling promote_learner, then records that already-qualified applied value as :match. Even if the server entirely removes its min_applied_index enforcement, every generated promotion is therefore issued only after catch-up and every successful completion necessarily satisfies the checker. Exercise an intentionally early promotion and require its rejection, or independently observe progress at the instant the server accepts promotion.

The default five-node topology reserves one candidate and therefore starts with four voters. Promoting it changes the voter count from four to five, but both configurations require a three-node Raft majority (and followerQuorumForClusterSize is 2 for both), so the advertised quorum-denominator transition never occurs. Bugs that appear only when promotion raises the required quorum cannot surface in the default run; use three initial voters plus one learner, or another topology where adding one voter actually increases the majority threshold.

What
Closes the Milestone 3 hardening item the raft-learner design deferred:
learner_workload.cljplus a checker pinning three properties, each revert-checked:quorumAckTrackerdenominator regression).The property I got wrong first, and the tests caught
My initial checker flagged a promotion as premature when
min-applied-index <= match. That's wrong, and it failed immediately on the correct case.Comparing
min-applied-indexagainstMatchcannot express this property at all. The engine's own test isMatch >= min-applied-index, so an operator who reads the learner's currentMatchand passes it back satisfies it by construction. And both calls end identically:The equality distinguishes nothing. Only the leader's position does. Catch-up is now measured against the leader's commit index, and
match-equal-to-min-applied-index-does-not-decide-the-propertypins two histories identical on(min-applied-index, match)that must be judged differently.This is the same defect I shipped and then fixed in #1227 — worth noting that the invariant is genuinely easy to state wrongly, which is an argument for the checker existing.

New test-only namespace. No production code touched. The workload is not wired into CI's default run — it needs the multi-node harness, same as the existing partition workloads.
