Apache Ignite zone(rack)-aware parititons

问题

I'm battling to configure Apache Ignite to distribute partitions in zone-aware manner. I have Ignite 2.8.0 with 4 nodes running as StatefulSet pods in GKE 1.14 split in two zones. I followed the guide, and the example:

Propagated zone names into pod under AVAILABILITY_ZONE env var.
Then using Web-Console I verified that this env var was loaded correctly for each node.
I setup cache template in node XML config as in the below and created a cache from it using GET /ignite?cmd=getorcreate&cacheName=zone-aware-cache&templateName=zone-aware-cache (I can't see affinityBackupFilter settings in UI, but other parameters from the template got applied, so I assume it worked)

To simplify verification of partition distribution, I the partition number is set to just 2. After creating the cache I observed the following partition distribution:

Then I mapped nodes ids to values in AVAILABILITY_ZONE env var, as reported by nodes, with the following results:

AA146954 us-central1-a
3943ECC8 us-central1-c
F7B7AB67 us-central1-a
A94EE82C us-central1-c

As one can easily see, partition 0 pri/bak resides on nodes 3943ECC8 and A94EE82C which both are in the same zone. What am I missing to make it work?

Another odd thing, is then specifying partition number to be low (e.g. 2 or 4), only 3 out of 4 nodes are used). When using 1024 partitions, all nodes are utilized, but the problem still exists - 346 out of 1024 partitions had their primary/backup colocated in the same zone.

Here is my node config XML:

Update: Eventually excludeNeighbors false/true makes or breaks zone awareness. I'm not sure why it didn't work with excludeNeighbors=false previously for me. I made some scripts to automate my testing. And now it's definite that it's the excludeNeighbors setting. It's all here: https://github.com/doitintl/ignite-gke. Regardless I also opened a bug with IGNITE Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-12896. Many thanks to @alamar for his suggestions.

回答1:

I recommend setting excludeNeighbors to false. It is true in your case, it is not needed, and I get correct partitions mapping when I set it to false (of course, I also run all four nodes locally).

Environment property was enough, did not need to add it manually to user attributes.
