This test was performed on a 5 node cluster with 2.0.x (CVS) 1=====>2 \\ \\ 3=====>5 \\ 4 A subscription set was subscribed to all nodes. Then -The slon for node 4 was killed -Node 4 was dropped from replication, with node 1 being the event node -A 'store node(id=4,event node=3) was executed + add paths -The slon for node 4 was started -Node 4 is subscribed to the set coming from node 3. The slon for node 4 encounters Received event #1 from 5000000049 type:ENABLE_SUBSCRIPTION 2010-05-17 09:41:51 EDTINFO copy_set 1 - omit=f - bool=0 2010-05-17 09:41:51 EDTINFO omit is FALSE 2010-05-17 09:41:51 EDTERROR remoteWorkerThread_1: provider node -1 for set 1not found in runtime configuration The sl_event table on node 4 contains 4 5000000001 STORE_PATH 1 5000000048 SYNC 5 5000000004 SYNC 3 5000000011 STORE_NODE 3 5000000012 ENABLE_NODE 3 5000000013 STORE_PATH 3 5000000014 SUBSCRIBE_SET (3,4) 3 5000000015 SYNC 4 5000000002 SYNC 1 5000000049 ENABLE_SUBSCRIPTION (3,4) Slon seems to be processing the ENABLE_SUBSCRIPTION that is marked as having an ev_origin of node 1 (the set origin) before the SUBSCRIBE_SET (having an ev_origin of node 3, the provider)
