What this PR does

The opensearch suite sends its first OpenSearch API call, the index create in make-the-cluster-permanently-yellow, as soon as the nodes StatefulSet reports one ready replica. Two operator actions are released at that moment and neither has finished: the bootstrap pod handing over the cluster-manager role, and a rolling restart of the only data node. #4412 is the first of them hitting the create with a 503. This PR makes the step wait for both before its first call: an error: assert that opensearch-test-bootstrap-0 no longer exists, then an assert that the nodes StatefulSet has settled on its update revision, in the same form the suite already uses after the listener move.

Anchors below are opensearch-k8s-operator v2.8.0 with the in-tree patches applied, paths under opensearch-operator/.

Bootstrap handoff.

  • The operator starts retiring the bootstrap pod only once the cluster is Initialized (pkg/reconcilers/cluster.go:110-111), and that flag is set as soon as every cluster-manager pool has all its replicas ready (controllers/opensearchController.go:257, pkg/builders/cluster.go:1146-1164). A Ready data node therefore starts the handoff and does not finish it.
  • The voting exclusion is a cluster-manager action, so it goes through the bootstrap pod and fails while that pod's security is not initialized. The operator then keeps the pod and requeues after 10s (pkg/reconcilers/cluster.go:36, :186-190).
  • The pod is deleted only after the bootstrap node has left the last committed voting configuration (pkg/reconcilers/cluster.go:195-205, opensearch-gateway/services/os_client.go:760-771). Once the pod object is gone, including its Terminating phase, the bootstrap process has exited and holds no vote, and the only cluster-manager-eligible node left is opensearch-test-nodes-0.
  • The assert cannot pass vacuously. The cluster forms around the bootstrap pod (cluster.initial_master_nodes names only that pod, pkg/builders/cluster.go:807), and the pod is created unconditionally while the cluster is not initialized (pkg/reconcilers/cluster.go:112-113).

Rolling restart on first boot. The failing run's own operator log and StatefulSet dump show it:

  • 10:27:52.850 the reconcile in which Initialized became true.
  • 10:27:53.251 "Failed to exclude the bootstrap node from the voting configuration".
  • 10:27:53.981 "Starting rolling restart of the StatefulSet opensearch-test-nodes" (pkg/reconcilers/rollingRestart.go:155).
  • 10:27:54.079 "Couldn't proceed with rolling restart … because enabled shard allocation" (:182), the first step of the yellow path, after which the next 10s requeue moves on to PreparePodForDelete (:195) and deletes the pod.

The StatefulSet in the same dump is at generation 2 with currentRevision …744cc7b944 and updateRevision …677c65d7fb: the pod template was rewritten after opensearch-test-nodes-0 was created, and the restart onto it waits only on Initialized (rollingRestart.go:79, :123). With one replica that restart takes down the node the step's requests go to, so a create that got past the handoff could still land on a terminating or restarting node. Once the StatefulSet reports currentRevision == updateRevision with its one replica updated and ready, the node the step talks to is on its final template and the operator has nothing pending.

The suite runs one topology: one replica in a single pool with the cluster_manager, data and ingest roles, on a PVC. The bootstrap pod comes back only through the emptyDir recovery path (pkg/reconcilers/cluster.go:452-478), which a PVC-backed cluster never takes, and a restart that was not pending leaves the second assert true immediately.

I checked the rest of the suite for the same window. Apart from this step, only the catch script (diagnostics, || true) calls the OpenSearch HTTP API. verify-endpoint-serves-the-chart-chain makes a TLS handshake only, and it runs after the suite has already waited for the listener roll to complete, on a single node that is its own cluster-manager.

Budgets: 3m for the handoff, which took about two seconds in the failing run; that leaves room for several 10s retire retries, a 30s requeue and the default 30s termination grace period the bootstrap pod runs with. 6m for the restart, shorter than the 12m the suite gives the listener roll because nothing is pulled here: the health steps requeue every 10s and the pod then restarts on an image the node already holds, where the first boot, bootstrap included, took under two and a half minutes.

Residual risk, unproven: if the pod template were rewritten again after the rollout assert passed, that assert would have passed on a template that is not the final one. I found no mechanism for it. The StatefulSet builder reads no cluster status (the only status read in pkg/builders/cluster.go is the replica check in AllMastersReady), so the transition to Initialized cannot rewrite the template by itself; a rewrite would need a configuration or secret input to change after that point. Which input changed on first boot in the failing run I could not tell from the log, because the ControllerRevisions were not captured.

What I ran: chainsaw lint test with Chainsaw v0.2.15, the version the e2e sandbox pins, passes on the changed suite. As a positive control, lint rejects each new operation when I rename one of its keys. hack/select-e2e.sh on this diff selects opensearch only.

What I did not run: the E2E suite itself. The race is timing-dependent (one hit in six failed in-tree runs checked, per the issue), so a single green run would not prove the fix either. The argument rests on the operator code and the failing run's log cited above.

Closes #4412

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Cluster health checks now wait for bootstrap completion and verify that all nodes are ready and up to date before proceeding.

The first OpenSearch API call in the suite ran as soon as the data node
reported Ready. At that point the operator's bootstrap pod can still be
the elected cluster-manager, and until its own security configuration
loads it answers a cluster-manager action such as an index create with
503. The operator deletes the pod only after it has left the committed
voting configuration, so once the pod object is gone the cluster-manager
is the Ready data node.

The same Initialized flag that starts the handoff also releases a
rolling restart that can be pending since first boot, and with one
replica that restart takes the only node down. The step therefore also
waits for the StatefulSet to settle on its update revision.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The OpenSearch Chainsaw test now waits for the bootstrap pod to disappear and verifies that the node StatefulSet has completed its rollout before creating the permanently unassignable replica.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wait for bootstrap handoff and StatefulSet rollout
hack/e2e-chainsaw/opensearch/chainsaw-test.yaml
Before creating the unassignable replica, the test waits up to 3 minutes for the bootstrap pod to disappear. It then waits up to 6 minutes for the StatefulSet generation, readiness, update status, and revisions to match.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

The readiness waits may not prevent the OpenSearch E2E test from failing during manager handoff. The risk is limited to this test, but the API readiness check should be addressed before relying on the change to eliminate the flake.

Wait for the OpenSearch API before the first PUT.

The sequence removes opensearch-test-bootstrap-0, checks only StatefulSet status, and then sends the first PUT. During cluster-manager handoff, readyReplicas: 1 can remain stale until the readiness probe detects the failure. The PUT can therefore receive HTTP 503.

Poll the authenticated OpenSearch API with a bounded retry loop before creating the index.

Verdict

LGTM

Both added steps gate on a real state and go red when it is not reached; neither masks a failure, and both mirror the roll-completion idiom already proven elsewhere in this file.

Caveats

The chainsaw run itself was not executed against a live cluster (hermetic review). Correctness was assessed from chainsaw error/assert semantics and from the existing assertions in this same file: the error: op on opensearch-test-bootstrap-0 fails if the pod is still present at 3m (same shape as the error: ops at lines 155/162), and the StatefulSet assert: is a subset of the roll-completion assert at lines 410-426 (observedGeneration == generation at the resource root, (currentRevision == updateRevision) scoped under status), so it fails loudly if the roll does not finish within 6m rather than letting the following os_api call run against a 503-answering bootstrap pod or a mid-roll node.
