feat: fall back to contact points on control reconnect (DRIVER-201) - #1065
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe driver now enables original contact-point reconnection fallback by default and re-resolves unresolved hostnames during fallback. Control connection setup rechecks node state after resolution and retries nodes that became ignored, removed, or forced down. Tests cover resolution races and recovery after a cluster changes addresses. Configuration and documentation describe the new behavior. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- This describes fallback as unconditional, but
LoadBalancingPolicyWrapperskips it for a topology monitor that re-resolves addresses when the live-node plan is nonempty. Document the Cloud/client-routes exception here so users do not expect contact-point attempts that the driver intentionally omits.
[load balancing policy](../load_balancing/). When that plan is exhausted, the original contact points
are tried again (`advanced.control-connection.reconnection.fallback-to-original-contact-points`, on
by default), so a contact point given as a hostname is resolved again and a cluster that moved to
new addresses is found.

upgrade_guide/README.md:75
- Later connections also pass this new address-valued endpoint to
AuthProvider.newAuthenticatorandonMissingChallenge; endpoint-aware providers (including custom credential selection) can therefore stop matching a contact-point hostname even when TLS is disabled. This is a separate upgrade impact from hostname verification and should be called out here.
- Connections opened to it later -- pooled and control alike -- verify TLS against that address (or
its reverse-DNS name, under the default `allow-dns-reverse-lookup-san`), exactly as they do for
every peer. A single-node cluster reached by hostname with a certificate that names only that
hostname needs an IP or PTR subject alternative name, or `hostname-validation = false`.
upgrade_guide/README.md:60
- This “Only” exception is inaccurate for the public custom-contact-point API.
DefaultTopologyMonitor.connectedNodeEndPointreturns every non-DefaultEndPointunchanged (DefaultTopologyMonitor.java:653-656), so an unresolved endpoint supplied throughSessionBuilder.addContactEndPoint(s)remains the node identity too. Please document that exception so custom endpoint users do not expect the new address-based identity behavior.
Under the default `advanced.resolve-contact-points = false` the driver keeps **every** configured
contact point unresolved, IP literals included, so this is not limited to hostnames. Only a contact
point that is already resolved when the driver receives it (`resolve-contact-points = true`, or a
programmatic `InetSocketAddress` that was already resolved) is unaffected. Four visible

We have discussed two or three times exactly how this should be implemented: on fallback, the control connection should pull the initial contact endpoints through the same contact-point-plan path it uses when connecting for the first time. After exhausting the LBP plan, it should process and try those endpoints. All the additional topology-monitor capability flags and metadata endpoint rewriting are unnecessary for this PR.
This PR combines two separate problems:
- Enabling original contact points as the final control-reconnection fallback.
- Correcting how a node reached through a multi-address contact hostname is represented in metadata.
I agree that the second problem is real. A metadata node representing host A must not use a discovery hostname that can later resolve to host B. However, that behavior predates this PR, and replacing the endpoint with the reached IP also affects TLS hostname validation, endpoint-aware authentication, metrics, and Node.getEndPoint(). Please create a separate issue and PR for that problem.
reresolvesNodeAddresses() should also be removed. Re-resolving a cached metadata hostname does not guarantee that the original contact point provides no additional recovery path. For example, Client Routes can have a complete but stale route cache, return true, and suppress contact-point fallback even though the cache cannot be fully refreshed until after a successful reconnect.
The fallback implementation should satisfy these requirements:
- Use one shared contact-point-plan construction path for both initial connection and fallback.
- Try the complete LBP plan first.
- If it is exhausted and
fallback-to-original-contact-pointsis enabled, try the retained original contact endpoints. - Keep
fallback-to-original-contact-points = trueas the new default. - Keep
resolve-contact-points = falseas the default, allowing DNS names to be resolved again. - Do not duplicate contact points during initial connection, where the plan already consists of them.
- Retain original unresolved contact endpoints unchanged for future rounds.
- Resolve an endpoint only when the fallback reaches it, after all LBP candidates have failed.
- Expand an ordinary unresolved hostname to all current A/AAAA answers.
- Try every resolved address before declaring that contact endpoint unsuccessful.
- Shuffle the resolved fallback candidates, rather than only shuffling the unresolved hostnames.
- Deduplicate exact equivalent candidates. Do not deduplicate different logical hostnames solely by
IP:port, because TLS and endpoint-aware authentication may distinguish them. - Use temporary contact-point
DefaultNodeplaceholders, as initial connection already does. Do not insert them into metadata. - Preserve both the DNS name and resolved IP in each temporary endpoint, for example
cluster.example.com/10.0.0.1:9042. This preserves TLS/authentication behavior and provides useful diagnostics. - Perform DNS resolution asynchronously through the configured Netty resolver or another bounded resolver path. Do not block the control/admin executor or bypass custom Netty resolution.
- Leave already-resolved programmatic endpoints unchanged; their original DNS input cannot reliably be recovered.
- Preserve custom and SNI
EndPointbehavior. Generic DNS expansion should apply only to ordinary unresolved network endpoints understood by the driver. - Do not mutate the LBP query plan; sequence or compose the fallback plan after it.
- Preserve cancellation, shutdown, protocol handling, cluster-name validation, and per-address failure aggregation.
- Continue using
AllNodesFailedExceptionfor compatibility. Existing synthetic contact-point nodes can represent each resolved attempt, so a new public exception is unnecessary. - After a fallback succeeds, use the existing
system.localidentification and normal post-reconnect topology refresh. - Do not introduce new metadata endpoint semantics in this PR.
- Remove
reresolvesNodeAddresses()and its Cloud/Client Routes special cases. When fallback is enabled, original contact points should always remain available after the regular plan is exhausted.
Please keep this PR focused on contact-point fallback. Create a separate issue for the pre-existing metadata-node problem and address it independently with the required TLS, authentication, metrics, and compatibility analysis.
@dkropachev In the previous discussion we've settled on shuffling addresses and having a cap on retries. Which approach should I implement given #890 already have shuffling implemented with a configurable cap and my intention was to translate this behavior to one of the following PRs? Update: deferred to a separate (optional) follow up PR |
I don't see any contradiction here, shuffling - do shuffling of initial contact endpoints and of resolved IPs for retries - limit number of IPs to picks up from DNS |

- Around line 607-608: Update the contact-point resolution documentation in
TypedDriverOption so both descriptions accurately state that hostnames are
re-resolved on each connect only when RESOLVE_CONTACT_POINTS is disabled, the
default, while enabling it retains resolved addresses during fallback
connections.

The driver reconnects on addresses it resolved once and never re-reads DNS (scylladb#215). Default `fallback-to-original-contact-points` to true: once a reconnection round has exhausted the live nodes, the retained unresolved contact points are tried again, so their names are resolved afresh. Init and fallback build that plan through one path. isControlNode matches the pending node by reference and re-checks the identified node, because the endpoint equals() was a blocking lookup per event with unresolved placeholders in the plan. A new MockResolverIT case covers recovery to new addresses. Fixes scylladb#215 Refs: scylladb#890 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The driver reconnects on addresses it resolved once and never re-reads DNS (#215), so a cluster that comes back on new addresses is never found again.
