[rabbitmq-discuss] 2.8.7 - Unexpected termination of HA node

Hi Nathanael,

We are aware of a bug regarding a stale master pid, which results from a master node restarting before the slave notices, and we *are* trying to fix this situation! The changes between 2.8.6 and 2.8.7 did not explicitly aim to fix this bug, and we previously saw symptoms that the master would not get restarted and that node would not be mirrored correctly - this sounds exactly like 'the queue [would] vanish from the cluster" which you describe. Clearly one of the 2.8.7 changes has caused a worse symptom to appear when the stale master is detected, so first of all, thanks very much for reporting this!

If you could provide me with logs for the two nodes, from both the master (during startup) and the slave that died, that would enormously helpful. From what I'm reading in your email, the second node actually crashes altogether when it detects that the master dies right? Can you please make sure the logs you post are in files with the node name and/or some indication in the file name whether that log is for the master or the slave? That would be really helpful in replicating and trying to fix this behaviour.

Cheers,
Tim
