@ -102,41 +107,6 @@ Problems in centralized thought design:
- In fact, truly decentralized distributed systems are rare. Instead, dynamic centralized distributed systems are constantly pouring out. Under this architecture, the managers in the cluster are dynamically selected, rather than preset, and when the cluster fails, the nodes of the cluster will automatically hold "meetings" to elect new "managers" To preside over the work. The most typical case is Etcd implemented by ZooKeeper and Go language.
- The decentralization of DolphinScheduler is that the Master and Worker register in ZooKeeper, for implement the centerless feature to Master cluster and Worker cluster. Use the ZooKeeper distributed lock to elect one of the Master or Worker as the "manager" to perform the task.
#### Distributed Lock Practice
DolphinScheduler uses ZooKeeper distributed lock to implement only one Master executes Scheduler at the same time, or only one Worker executes the submission of tasks.
1. The following shows the core process algorithm for acquiring distributed locks:
- If there is no sub-process in a DAG, when the number of data in the Command is greater than the threshold set by the thread pool, the process directly waits or fails.
- If a large DAG nests many sub-processes, there will produce a "dead" state as the following figure:
In the above figure, MainFlowThread waits for the end of SubFlowThread1, SubFlowThread1 waits for the end of SubFlowThread2, SubFlowThread2 waits for the end of SubFlowThread3, and SubFlowThread3 waits for a new thread in the thread pool, then the entire DAG process cannot finish, and the threads cannot be released. In this situation, the state of the child-parent process loop waiting is formed. At this moment, unless a new Master is started and add threads to break such a "stalemate", the scheduling cluster will no longer use.
It seems a bit unsatisfactory to start a new Master to break the deadlock, so we proposed the following three solutions to reduce this risk:
1. Calculate the sum of all Master threads, and then calculate the number of threads required for each DAG, that is, pre-calculate before the DAG process executes. Because it is a multi-master thread pool, it is unlikely to obtain the total number of threads in real time.
2. Judge whether the single-master thread pool is full, let the thread fail directly when fulfilled.
3. Add a Command type with insufficient resources. If the thread pool is insufficient, suspend the main process. In this way, there are new threads in the thread pool, which can make the process suspended by insufficient resources wake up to execute again.
Note: The Master Scheduler thread executes by FIFO when acquiring the Command.
So we choose the third way to solve the problem of insufficient threads.
#### Fault-Tolerant Design
Fault tolerance divides into service downtime fault tolerance and task retry, and service downtime fault tolerance divides into master fault tolerance and worker fault tolerance.

Next to the main point, we divide the task nodes in the workflow into two types.
- One is a business node, which corresponds to an actual script or process command, such as shell node, MR node, Spark node, and dependent node.
- One is a business task, which corresponds to an actual script or process command, such as Shell task, SQL task, and Spark task.
- Another is a logical node, which does not operate actual script or process command, but only logical processing to the entire process flow, such as sub-process sections.

Each **business node** can configure the number of failed retries. When the task node fails, it will automatically retry until it succeeds or exceeds the retry times. **Logical node** failure retry is not supported, but the tasks in the logical node support.
**Business node** can configure the number of failed retries. When the task node fails, it will automatically retry until it succeeds or exceeds the retry times. **Logical node** failure retry is not supported.
If there is a task failure in the workflow that reaches the maximum retry times, the workflow will fail and stop, and the failed workflow can be manually re-run or process recovery operations.
