Version:	8.0.18, 8.0.21	OS:	Any
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	group_replication

Description:
For a 3-nodes group_replication cluster, with single-primary-mode=ON, and consistency-level=BEFORE_AND_AFTER

If n1 is the PRIMARY role, in one moment, there maybe:

1. n3 already write relay-log, while still not finish the transaction
1. n2 not write relay-log yet
1. n1 will hang cause no others nodes return message

Then, n3 shutdown first, after a while n1,n2 shutdown also.

Then we restart n1,n2, cause it restart major nodes, and contain the latest PRIMARY role, we can rebuild the group_replication with n1, n2.

After a while, n3 restart, and do START GROUP_REPLICATION, it will failed. Cause it has extra transaction not in n1/n2. Now, n3 cannot join to cluster again.

How to repeat:
I add some dbug code, and a test file.

n2 will hang in write_realy_log, and n3 will hang when execute statement, until they killed.

Suggested fix:
The reason is, when start group_replication, it will first execute transactions in relaylog. Which may lead one have more transaction then others. (This also happen in single-primary-mode=off).

Maybe it should reset the relay-log when a node rejoin to cluster.

the test file patch

Attachment: gr_node_error_after_shutdown_cause_relaylog.diff (text/x-patch), 8.04 KiB.

after compile, run the test with command:

./mtr group_replication.gr_create_db_shutdown --nocheck-testcase

The result will be:

include/group_replication.inc [rpl_server_count=3]

From the result, it can find, n3 cannot join to cluster, and it will have (1,1),(2,2) rows not in the cluster

Hello phoenix Zhang!

Thank you for the report.
