In commit c82250e0cf (gossip: Allow deferring
advertise of local node to be up), the replacing node is changed to postpone
the responding of gossip echo message to avoid other nodes sending read
requests to the replacing node. It works as following:
1) replacing node does not respond echo message to avoid other nodes to
mark replacing node as alive
2) replacing node advertises hibernate state so other nodes knows
replacing node is replacing
3) replacing node responds echo message so other nodes can mark
replacing node as alive
This is problematic because after step 2, the existing nodes in the
cluster will start to send writes to the replacing node, but at this
time it is possible that existing nodes haven't marked the replacing
node as alive, thus failing the write request unnecessarily.
For instance, we saw the following errors in issue #8013 (Cassandra
stress fails to achieve consistency when only one of the nodes is down)
```
scylla:
[shard 1] consistency - Live nodes 2 do not satisfy ConsistencyLevel (2
required, 1 pending, live_endpoints={127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.1},
pending_endpoints={127.0.0.3}) [shard 0] gossip - Fail to send
EchoMessage to 127.0.0.3: std::runtime_error (Not ready to respond
gossip echo message)
c-s:
java.io.IOException: Operation x10 on key(s) [4c4f4d37324c35304c30]:
Error executing: (UnavailableException): Not enough replicas available
for query at consistency QUORUM (2 required but only 1 alive
```
To solve this problem for older releases without the patch "repair:
Switch to use NODE_OPS_CMD for replace operation", a minimum fix is
implemented in this patch. Once existing nodes learn the replacing node
is in HIBERNATE state, they add the replacing as replacing, but only add
the replacing to the pending list only after the replacing node is
marked as alive.
With this patch, when the existing nodes start to write to the replacing
node, the replacing node is already alive.
