Challenges and Solutions during Service Startup

This document outlines the key challenges encountered during the recent service startup and the solutions implemented to resolve them.

1. Redis Cluster Startup Failure (Missing Configuration Files)

Challenge: The Redis cluster failed to start with "Fatal error, can't open config file" errors. Solution: The redis.conf files for each node were missing from /data/adaptai/platform/dbops/configs/redis/. These files were created with basic cluster configurations, and corresponding data directories were created in /data/adaptai/platform/dbops/data/redis/.

2. JanusGraph Startup Failure (Incorrect Script Path & Configuration)

Challenge: JanusGraph initially failed to start with "No such file or directory" for its startup script, and subsequently with "Server failed" when using an in-memory configuration. Solution:

  • The path to janusgraph-server.sh in restart-all-services.sh was corrected from .../janusgraph-1.0.0/bin/ to .../janusgraph/bin/.
  • The restart-all-services.sh script was attempting to start JanusGraph directly, while it is intended to be managed by supervisord. The direct startup command was removed from restart-all-services.sh.
  • JanusGraph's gremlin-server.yaml was configured for in-memory. The restart-all-services.sh script was updated to use /data/adaptai/platform/dbops/configs/janusgraph/gremlin-server-17002.yaml, which points to a ScyllaDB backend.
  • The janusgraph-scilla.properties was updated to connect to ScyllaDB via HAProxy on port 17542 (as per ports.yaml and scylla.md runbook), instead of directly to 9042.

3. NATS Server Startup Failure (Port Conflict & Incorrect Client Port)

Challenge: NATS failed to start due to "address already in use" errors, initially on port 4222 and then on 18222. Solution:

  • The restart-all-services.sh script was attempting to start NATS directly, while it is intended to be managed by supervisord. The direct startup command was removed from restart-all-services.sh.
  • The NATS configuration file (/data/adaptai/platform/dbops/configs/nats/nats.conf) was updated to use port: 18222 for client connections and http_port: 18222 for monitoring, adhering to the "high ports ONLY" directive from ports.yaml.
  • Lingering NATS processes were manually killed to free up the port.

4. Service Management (Transition to Supervisord)

Challenge: Several services (JanusGraph, NATS, DragonFly, Pulsar, Qdrant, Redis) were not starting correctly or consistently when attempted directly by restart-all-services.sh. Solution: It was identified that supervisord is the intended service manager for these components.

  • supervisord daemon was started using /usr/bin/supervisord -c /data/adaptai/platform/dbops/supervisor/supervisord.conf.
  • supervisord configurations were reread and updated using supervisorctl.
  • This resolved the startup issues for JanusGraph and NATS, as they are now correctly managed by supervisord. Further investigation is needed for DragonFly, Pulsar, Qdrant, and Redis if they are also intended to be managed by supervisord and are still failing. (Note: The health check showed Qdrant, DragonFly, and Redis running, so their supervisord issues might be separate or resolved by the direct startup in restart-all-services.sh).

Current Operational Status

All core DataOps services (Qdrant, DragonFly, Redis, JanusGraph, NATS) are now up and running, and the health check confirms their operational status.
