When a replication operation (index/delete/update) fails to be executed properly, we fail the replica and allow master to allocate a new copy of it. At the moment, the node hosting the primary shard is responsible of notifying the master of a failed replica. However, if the replica shard is initializing (`POST_RECOVERY` state), we have a racing condition between the failed shard message and moving the shard into the `STARTED` state. If the latter happen first, master will fail to resolve the fail shard message. This PR builds on elastic#5800 and fails the engine of the replica shard if a replication operation fails. This protects us against the above as the shard will reject the `STARTED` command from master. It also makes us more resilient to other racing conditions in this area.

we end up double logging warnings, no? The first here, and the second when failing the engine. I think its enough to log a warning when failing the engine later.

I tend to agree but I think we should log that we executed this as debug?

I pushed another commit with the log message removed. I adapted the reason (which is logged by the shard failure) to include the information that was missing. I decided in the end not to add a debug logging as there is no logic and hardly any code between here and where we log it. If anyone feels strongly about it, I'll happily add it. |
