Description

This PR adds the code changes for reworking the errant GTID detection in ERS. As proposed in #16724 (comment), we now also use the reparent journal length as an extra data point for GTID detection. All the different cases listed in #16274 have been added as unit tests in this PR, and the expectations of the algorithm have been verified.

Since, ReadReparentJournalInfo is a new RPC, there can be customers that upgrade Vitess multiple versions at a time (we are adding the new RPC in v21, but it is not available in releases prior to that). In this case, the vttablets won't have the RPC implemented. Since we don't want ERS to stop working in this situation, we have to keep the legacy errant GTID code around for this scenario. So, if reading the reparent journal information fails on any tablet, then we revert to using that legacy errant GTID detection code.

Review Checklist

Hello reviewers! 👋 Please follow this checklist when reviewing this Pull Request.

General

  • Ensure that the Pull Request has a descriptive title.
  • Ensure there is a link to an issue (except for internal cleanup and flaky test fixes), new features should have an RFC that documents use cases and test cases.

Tests

  • Bug fixes should have at least one unit or end-to-end test, enhancement and new features should have a sufficient number of tests.

Documentation

  • Apply the release notes (needs details) label if users need to know about this change.
  • New features should be documented.
  • There should be some code comments as to why things are implemented the way they are.
  • There should be a comment at the top of each new or modified test to explain what the test does.

New flags

  • Is this flag really necessary?
  • Flag names must be clear and intuitive, use dashes (-), and have a clear help text.

If a workflow is added or modified:

  • Each item in Jobs should be named in order to mark it as required.
  • If the workflow needs to be marked as required, the maintainer team must be notified.

Backward compatibility

  • Protobuf changes should be wire-compatible.
  • Changes to _vt tables and RPCs need to be backward compatible.
  • RPC changes should be compatible with vitess-operator
  • If a flag is removed, then it should also be removed from vitess-operator and arewefastyet, if used there.
  • vtctl command output order should be stable and awk-able.

Why do we continue to name this relayLogSet?

I don't like the use of the word "probably". It is certain to be the primary? What are other potential scenarios?

Also, if it is the primary, will it hurt to nonetheless run errant GTID detection? I'm hoping to reduce clutter get rid of this conditional.

This is a bit unclear. Can you rephrase that please?

In the tests, it is often the case that zone1-0000000102 is the "winner" of candidate replicas election. However, it is also the first in the list of replica candidates. I would like to see more shuffling or tablets and some changes of roles, such that 103 or 104 would be the "winners". If only to ensure that the algorithm doesn't pick the first tablet by chance or mistake.
