Description
Dev issue: tarantool/tarantool#10858
Since Tarantool 3.4.0 it is allowed to call
box.ctl.make_bootstrap_leader()
before the first box.cfg()
call to
mark the instance as a bootstrap leader.
It works if box.cfg({bootstrap_strategy = 'supervised'})
is set,
ignored otherwise.
So, the following code is now possible:
box.ctl.make_bootstrap_leader()
box.cfg({
bootstrap_strategy = 'supervised',
})
In earlier Tarantool version a user has to call box.cfg()
in a
separate fiber first and then call box.ctl.make_bootstrap_leader()
.
Also, earlier Tarantool versions do not allow to bootstrap a database
using the 'supervised'
bootstrap strategy if there are no upstreams
configured (empty box.cfg.replication
). It means that there were no
way to bootstrap the database without iproto listening port configured
(box.cfg.listen
) except using another bootstrap strategy.
Now, the 'supervised'
bootstrap strategy let a user a full control
over the replicaset bootstrapping process.
If several instances call box.ctl.make_bootstrap_leader()
to
bootstrap the database, each bootstraps its own database and it leads to
a JOIN failure. With great power comes great responsibility!
