Zookeeper, mail # user - force snapshot

RE: force snapshot

Dayal,
I believe you pointed the threshold. Thank you. Is there a way to take an adhoc snapshot for troubleshooting / analysis of any issues?
Upon looking for snapCount, I came across "zookeeper.snapCount" a system property with default value of 100,000. Is my understanding correct?

Thanks,SC

Your understanding is correct. snapCount is a system property with default value is 100,000. You can also set it in the zookeeper configuration file (conf/zoo.cfg) by using the parameter "snapCount".

I don't understand exactly what you mean by adhoc snapshot. From my understanding, if you want to take a snapshot early/more frequently reduce the value of snapCount. Also, you can use SnapshotFormatter to get the data in snapshot in plain text and analyze it.

If you have multiple machines in the ensemble you can restart one of the
machine. When the follower restarts and join the quorum it will create a
new snapshot that you can use to troubleshoot the problem.
