I have seen exactly the same issue again, second day in a row. This time at 7:30 in the morning and again, no logs or anything that would give me an idea of what could have caused this. "killall -9 mysqld" and "service mysql start" on the hanging node is the only solution I have so far... I am crossposting this to maria-developers, maybe somebody on that list has an idea where to start? Jan Am 31.05.2013 10:29, schrieb Jan Kirchhoff:

Hi,

we have been testing MariaDB 5.5.29 with Galera (wsrep_provider_version 23.2.4(r147)) for a few months now and have had a freeze of the cluster for the second time now. I didn't report the first hang about 6 weeks ago as I wanted to be sure it wasn't our fault, but I can't find any type of network issue or such in our monitoring system and nothing in the logs that could be related to this problem:

We have 2 database servers running Ubuntu 12.10 with Kernel 3.5.0 (names: db8, db9), with a bunch of 15k-disks, some SSDs, 128GB RAM and a test database of about 600-700GB. The amount of binlogs written every day is around 500GB, so you get an idea of the workload. db8 is a slave (traditional replication) of our main database. We have a garbd running on another server as a third galera instance.

Everything runs smooth for some weeks, but since this morning at 3:50am db9 seems to be frozen. The server itself looks good, mysqld is taking about 50% of one CPU core, everything else looks normal. Nothing in the logs. Connecting to mysql works, but any query (like "show status" or normal selects) hang forever. Only "show engine innodb status" returns. There are almost 3000 processes that piled up like this:

---TRANSACTION 2F89D7CB, not started MySQL thread id 113575, OS thread handle 0x7fab31821700, query id 45249946 cl4.logical-line.de 192.168.0.16 stats_pflege sleeping

but none of them ever gets any further. I can issue a "kill 113575" and the prompt returns, but nothing happens.

This is what db8's global status says: wsrep_local_state_uuid 41d7259d-7200-11e2-0800-943dd0e2f659 wsrep_protocol_version 4 wsrep_last_committed 179518511 wsrep_replicated 53590833 wsrep_replicated_bytes 14768686288759 wsrep_received 894995 wsrep_received_bytes 7161712 wsrep_local_commits 53583808 wsrep_local_cert_failures 60 wsrep_local_bf_aborts 0 wsrep_local_replays 0 wsrep_local_send_queue 8 wsrep_local_send_queue_avg 0.000000 wsrep_local_recv_queue 0 wsrep_local_recv_queue_avg 0.000000 wsrep_flow_control_paused 1.000000 wsrep_flow_control_sent 0 wsrep_flow_control_recv 0 wsrep_cert_deps_distance 73.229730 wsrep_apply_oooe 0.000000 wsrep_apply_oool 0.000000 wsrep_apply_window 0.000000 wsrep_commit_oooe 0.000000 wsrep_commit_oool 0.000000 wsrep_commit_window 0.000000 wsrep_local_state 4 wsrep_local_state_comment Synced wsrep_cert_index_size 25606 wsrep_causal_reads 0 wsrep_incoming_addresses 192.168.10.30:3306,192.168.10.31:3306, wsrep_cluster_conf_id 15 wsrep_cluster_size 3 wsrep_cluster_state_uuid 41d7259d-7200-11e2-0800-943dd0e2f659 wsrep_cluster_status Primary wsrep_connected ON wsrep_local_index 0 wsrep_provider_name Galera wsrep_provider_vendor Codership Oy <info@codership.com> wsrep_provider_version 23.2.4(r147) wsrep_ready ON

Here is the innodb status from db9 (the one that hangs). This is the only output I could get out of db9 at all:

As soon as I trigger the restart of mysql on db9 (service mysql restart), I see normal log entries like this: May 31 10:16:59 db9 mysqld: 130531 10:16:59 [Note] WSREP: Stop replication May 31 10:16:59 db9 mysqld: 130531 10:16:59 [Note] WSREP: Closing send monitor... May 31 10:16:59 db9 mysqld: 130531 10:16:59 [Note] WSREP: Closed send monitor. May 31 10:16:59 db9 mysqld: 130531 10:16:59 [Note] WSREP: gcomm: terminating thread

and db8 is accepting inserts again and catches up with replication.

meanwhile, db9 says: May 31 10:17:02 db9 mysqld: 130531 10:17:02 [Note] WSREP: killing local connection: 113529 May 31 10:17:02 db9 mysqld: 130531 10:17:02 [Note] WSREP: killing local connection: 113199 May 31 10:17:02 db9 mysqld: 130531 10:17:02 [Note] WSREP: killing local connection: 110221

and nothing happens any more. No CPU and no IO load coming from the mysqld processes. After 5 minutes I killed the mysqld with "killall -9 mysqld" and then started it again the normal way. db9 syncs via IST and everything is fine again. But I have no idea what caused all this. According to a colleague killing mysql on db9 was the thing that helped 6 weeks ago, too.

Thanks for any pointers where we should look further.
