**Migrating from 0.3 to 0.4 is unsupported. This document is only intended to
|
|
document the process internally for the Deuxfleurs cluster where we have to do
|
|
it. Do not try it yourself, you will lose your data and we will not help you.**
|
|
|
|
**Migrating from 0.2 to 0.4 will break everything for sure. Never try it.**
|
|
|
|
The internal data format of Garage hasn't changed much between 0.3 and 0.4.
|
|
The Sled database is still the same, and the data directory as well.
|
|
|
|
The following has changed, all in the meta directory:
|
|
|
|
- `node_id` in 0.3 contains the identifier of the current node. In 0.4, this
|
|
file does nothing and should be deleted. It is replaced by `node_key` (the
|
|
secret key) and `node_key.pub` (the associated public key). A node's
|
|
identifier on the ring is its public key.
|
|
|
|
- `peer_info` in 0.3 contains the list of peers saved automatically by Garage.
|
|
The format has changed and it is now stored in `peer_list` (`peer_info`
|
|
should be deleted).
|
|
|
|
When migrating, all node identifiers will change. This also means that the
|
|
affectation of data partitions on the ring will change, and lots of data will
|
|
have to be rebalanced.
|
|
|
|
- If your cluster has only 3 nodes, all nodes store everything, therefore nothing has to be rebalanced.
|
|
|
|
- If your cluster has only 4 nodes, for any partition there will always be at
|
|
least 2 nodes that stored data before that still store it after. Therefore
|
|
the migration should in theory be transparent and Garage should continue to
|
|
work during the rebalance.
|
|
|
|
- If your cluster has 5 or more nodes, data will disappear during the
|
|
migration. Do not migrate (fortunately we don't have this scenario at
|
|
Deuxfleurs), or if you do, make Garage unavailable until things stabilize
|
|
(disable web and api access).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The migration steps are as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. Prepare a new configuration file for 0.4. For each node, point to the same
|
|
meta and data directories as Garage 0.3. Basically, the things that change
|
|
are the following:
|
|
|
|
- No more `rpc_tls` section
|
|
- You have to generate a shared `rpc_secret` and put it in all config files
|
|
- `bootstrap_peers` has a different syntax as it has to contain node keys.
|
|
Leave it empty and use `garage node-id` and `garage node connect` instead (new features of 0.4)
|
|
- put the publicly accessible RPC address of your node in `rpc_public_addr` if possible (its optional but recommended)
|
|
- If you are using Consul, change the `consul_service_name` to NOT be the name advertised by Nomad.
|
|
Now Garage is responsible for advertising its own service itself.
|
|
|
|
2. Disable api and web access for some time (Garage does not support disabling
|
|
these endpoints but you can change the port number or stop your reverse
|
|
proxy for instance).
|
|
|
|
3. Do `garage repair -a --yes tables` and `garage repair -a --yes blocks`,
|
|
check the logs and check that all data seems to be synced correctly between
|
|
nodes.
|
|
|
|
4. Save somewhere the output of `garage status`. We will need this to remember
|
|
how to reconfigure nodes in 0.4.
|
|
|
|
5. Turn off Garage 0.3
|
|
|
|
6. Backup metadata folders if you can (i.e. if you have space to do it
|
|
somewhere). Backuping data folders could also be usefull but that's much
|
|
harder to do. If your filesystem supports snapshots, this could be a good
|
|
time to use them.
|
|
|
|
7. Turn on Garage 0.4
|
|
|
|
8. At this point, running `garage status` should indicate that all nodes of the
|
|
previous cluster are "unavailable". The nodes have new identifiers that
|
|
should appear in healthy nodes once they can talk to one another (use
|
|
`garage node connect` if necessary`). They should have NO ROLE ASSIGNED at
|
|
the moment.
|
|
|
|
9. Prepare a script with several `garage node configure` commands that replace
|
|
each of the v0.3 node ID with the corresponding v0.4 node ID, with the same
|
|
zone/tag/capacity. For example if your node `drosera` had identifier `c24e`
|
|
before and now has identifier `789a`, and it was configured with capacity
|
|
`2` in zone `dc1`, put the following command in your script:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
garage node configure 789a -z dc1 -c 2 -t drosera --replace c24e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
10. Run your reconfiguration script. Check that the new output of `garage
|
|
status` contains the correct node IDs with the correct values for capacity
|
|
and zone. Old nodes should no longer be mentioned.
|
|
|
|
11. If your cluster has 4 nodes or less, and you are feeling adventurous, you
|
|
can reenable Web and API access now. Things will probably work.
|
|
|
|
12. Garage might already be resyncing stuff. Issue a `garage repair -a --yes
|
|
tables` and `garage repair -a --yes blocks` to force it to do so.
|
|
|
|
13. Wait for resyncing activity to stop in the logs. Do steps 12 and 13 two or
|
|
three times, until you see that when you issue the repair commands, nothing
|
|
gets resynced any longer.
|
|
|
|
14. Your upgraded cluster should be in a working state. Re-enable API and Web
|
|
access and check that everything went well.
