Perform successful Elasticsearch version check before migrations #51311

rudolf · 2019-11-21T17:27:07Z

Summary

Testing notes:

When starting Kibana against a cluster with an unsupported ES node, Kibana should log:

Waiting until all Elasticsearch nodes are compatible with Kibana before starting saved objects migrations...

but should not start saved object migrations until all the nodes are compatible

Starting saved objects migrations
If Kibana has successfully started with a compatible ES cluster, but then an incompatible ES node joins the cluster, Kibana's "elasticsearch" plugin should go into a red state and reloading Kibana in a browser should render the status page.

Release note:

This fix addresses a regression where Kibana would not check that all Elasticsearch nodes are compatible before starting Saved Object migrations.

@rudolf What's the status here?

+      'Waiting until all Elasticsearch nodes are compatible with Kibana before starting saved objects migrations...'
+    );
+    await this.setupDeps!.elasticsearch.esNodesCompatibility$.pipe(


This behaviour isn't 100% the same as what it was in legacy. In legacy we would start the status service so even though migrations wouldn't run, there would be a running server which showed that the Elasticsearch plugin was red with the reason which helps surface the underlying problem. Once we have a status service in NP we should aim to create similar behaviour.

#49785 states

Although the reasons for abandoning the health check still stand, we will have to keep polling to do the version check since new Elasticsearch nodes can join an existing cluster after Kibana has started up.

In current PR, we are only waiting for ES to be ready once to trigger some actions, but further state change are doing nothing. Do we know what we are planning to do in case of scenario like

red -> green (trigger start of SO + legacy's waitUntilReady) -> red (atm do nothing) -> green (atm do nothing)

+    esNodesCompatibility$.subscribe(({ isCompatible, message, kibanaVersion, warningNodes }) => {
+      if (!isCompatible) {
+        esPlugin.status.red(message);
+      } else {
+        if (message && message.length > 0) {
+          logWithMetadata(['warning'], message, {
+            kibanaVersion,
+            nodes: warningNodes,
+          });
+        }
+        esPlugin.status.green('Ready');
+        resolve();
+      }


Should we unsubscribe after the first resolve call to avoid wrongly recalling resolve in case of green->red->green ?

We want to keep updating the status so we need the subscription. Although resolve() should only be called once, calling it multiple times is a no-op so it won't cause any problems.

Except in the legacy code you adapted, we are not displaying any info message for the user about the fact that we are waiting (maybe indefinitely) for ES to be ready?

Maybe we should add a timeout and throw a fatal after some time? Or are we expecting Kibana to hang indefinitely waiting for this condition?

Should this check be done at a higher level (thinking in the Server)? It seems to me that waiting for ES to be ready is higher responsibility than the SOService should handle.

I've changed the log message to an info to indicate that we're waiting for ES and when we're starting migrations.

Maybe we should add a timeout and throw a fatal after some time? Or are we expecting Kibana to hang indefinitely waiting for this condition?

The existing behaviour is to wait indefinitely. It could take a day before a faulty cluster is fixed, in such a case I think it's nice if Kibana just starts working again automatically.

Should this check be done at a higher level (thinking in the Server)? It seems to me that waiting for ES to be ready is higher responsibility than the SOService should handle.

I don't have a strong opinion, but I think if the SO Service has some dependency on an external condition then the logic to wait for that condition belongs in the SO Service. This is a minor, but when it comes to the logging tags it might make it easier to see that these logs are related if they all have the same tags, rather than some being tagged server and others savedobjects-service.

I would say it might be good to repeat this message on an interval but I wouldn't consider that a blocker to this PR.

I think it's fine we put this in SO service until/if there are other Core services that require this as well.

After further testing I realised there were two incorrect behaviours:

pollEsNodesVersion would not start polling immediately, but the first poll would be scheduled to happen after esVersionCheckInterval. For a long interval like 30s this blocks kibana from starting up with an additional 30s.
Because pollEsNodesVersion used a switchMap there's a risk that we'll bombard ES with queries if the nodes.info response time > esVersionCheckInterval. Since this is an expensive api call there's a risk that we'll suddenly make a slow cluster much slower. I've changed the implementation to use an exhaustMap so we won't schedule new requests until the previous request has resolved.

NIT: It seems you adapted every call to createRoot to add this. Should we set migrations: { skip: true } as a default in kbnTestServer.createRoot ?

Some tests run with esArchiver and then they need to apply migrations. Ideally we shouldn't disable migrations, but we should disable the ES version check itself. There is elasticsearch.ignoreVersionMismatch but it's only available in development and our integration tests run against production. We could just make this option available in production, but I think it warrants a bigger discussion so I created #56505

@rudolf I have backported to 7.x, but 7.6 is a bit more challenging as the tests rely on saved_objects_service.test.mocks which was added here #55012, which relies on #55156 - both not present in 7.6. I think it would be best for you to handle the conflict resolution here to ensure there are no errors.
