Feature #61866
closedMDSMonitor: require --yes-i-really-mean-it when failing an MDS with MDS_HEALTH_TRIM or MDS_HEALTH_CACHE_OVERSIZED health warnings
0%
Description
If an MDS is already having issues with getting behind on trimming its journal or an oversized cache, restarting it may only create new problems with very slow recovery. In particular, if the MDS gets very behind on trimming its journal with 1M or more segments, replay can take hours or longer.
We already track these warnings in MDSMonitor so do a simple check to help the operator or support folks not shoot themselves in the foot.

Patrick, should we include other health warnings too? I didn't include it in PR because it was mentioned on this ticket. Since Venky too brought this up here, I think it's worth discussing and writing a fix for it.
Copying Venky's comment below -
What about other health warnings?
enum mds_metric_t {
MDS_HEALTH_NULL = 0,
MDS_HEALTH_TRIM,
MDS_HEALTH_CLIENT_RECALL,
MDS_HEALTH_CLIENT_LATE_RELEASE,
MDS_HEALTH_CLIENT_RECALL_MANY,
MDS_HEALTH_CLIENT_LATE_RELEASE_MANY,
MDS_HEALTH_CLIENT_OLDEST_TID,
MDS_HEALTH_CLIENT_OLDEST_TID_MANY,
MDS_HEALTH_DAMAGE,
MDS_HEALTH_READ_ONLY,
MDS_HEALTH_SLOW_REQUEST,
MDS_HEALTH_CACHE_OVERSIZED,
MDS_HEALTH_SLOW_METADATA_IO,
MDS_HEALTH_CLIENTS_LAGGY,
MDS_HEALTH_CLIENTS_LAGGY_MANY,
MDS_HEALTH_DUMMY, // not a real health warning, for testing
};
Esp, MDS_HEALTH_SLOW_REQUEST - where the MDS could probably running close to its limits.

So far as we know, the two main culprits for slow recovery are the ones included in your PR. That is our main concern with gating mds failover. I don't see a strong argument to include the others at this time.
