Hello 👋 What could be the reasons for an external view to be missing ? (Specifically for a REALTIME table) Thanks
m
Missing or empty? Also, was it there before and got deleted?
May be zk issues?
j
(For more context, it's a new table) It really is missing, I'm currently setting up multiple tables and all of them are missing an external view
For instance 
curl -s -X GET pinot-controller.infra-dev.svc.cluster.local:9000/tables/user_events
-> Returns the table definition But 
curl -s -X GET pinot-controller.infra-dev.svc.cluster.local:9000/tables/user_events/externalview
-> Return 
{"code": 404,"error": "Table not found"}
m
Hmm, how are you creating the table? Do you have access to controller logs to see what happens when you create a table? Also is ideal state created?
Can you try idealstate if it exists?
j
Yep, idealstate is there I've got access to logs - I'll take a closer look at the moment the table are created Tables are created via the API
m
Yeah controller log should say something
j
Probably unrelated because I've had these warning on a working table (other cluster) But I'm seeing multiple 
The configuration 'stream.kafka.topic.name' was supplied but isn't a known config.
(and other related fields) [On 0.7]
m
Any other errors or logs stating whether table was created or not?

I can't seem to find a log telling that the table is indeed created, but via the API I can get the table config (and schema) back However, while creating a new table (after deleting schema & definition), I'm getting quite some warnings (see snippet above)
I find 
[ZkBaseDataAccessor] [HelixController-pipeline-task-pinot-dev-(0dac30d3_TASK)] Fail to read record for paths: {/pinot-dev/INSTANCES/Server_pinot-server-0.pinot-server-headless.infra-dev.svc.cluster.local_8098/MESSAGES/e5d83f70-3ee9-4837-a9bd-58f06729ccb8=-101}
especially suspicious
While deleting the table beforehand, I got some 
[ZkClient] [grizzly-http-server-1] Failed to delete path /pinot-dev/PROPERTYSTORE/SEGMENTS/document_open_REALTIME! org.I0Itec.zkclient.exception.ZkException: org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$NotEmptyException: KeeperErrorCode = Directory not empty for /pinot-dev/PROPERTYSTORE/SEGMENTS/document_open_REALTIME

I think that might just mean you need to first delete all segments of a table before deleting table
It might be easier to collaborate on a zoom call if you are up for it

That actually one thing I've been wondering for a bit 🙂
m
I’d say do a clean start for a table and let’s look at logs
If you can create a new test cluster altogether, even better - to eliminate any weird state your current cluster might be in

j
Thanks I'll try that If that doesn't solve it, we could do that
It might be easier to collaborate on a zoom call if you are up for it
m
Sure, ping me when you think zoom might be better, we can continue here until then

By deleting the segments (while keeping the table around), the external view still doesn't exist (not very surprising) But The UI (Cluster Manager / Tables / Tables / <table_name>) now opens up instead of being stuck in an infinite loop And the status goes to Green, but still no external view (checked in ZK - it's missing), nor segments (expecting 1 consuming) I've also tried creating the table from the UI - same result : • Status: Bad (from UI) • external view: ❌ (missing) • ideal state ✅
The table I'm creating is very simple From the UI, I've basically only changed / input the table name, kafka broker & topic name
m
Can you paste the ideal state?

Any logs in the server 
Server_pinot-server-0.pinot-server-headless.infra-dev.svc.cluster.local_8098
? Although, I don't expect there might be (since no external view), but would help to check
j
I don't seem to find new logs vs the logs I've sent above

In the zk explorer, can you check the znodes under INSTANCES/<server> to see if there are any errors?
j
node 
server-.../ERRORS
is 
{}
same for 
MESSAGES
& 
STATUSUPDATE
m
and currentstates?

And you don't see any logs in the server that suggest it was told by controller to start consuming?
j
Sorry for the wall of text, maybe you can grep some interesting logs in there
Untitled

The errors I see in the log seem to suggest they are from the time you tried to delete the table. And the fact that I see a log line below seems to suggest the table was not properly created to being with. Wondering if we can start with a fresh table creation to check the logs (if fresh pinot cluster, even better):

j
Yes, the table are missing the external view right from the start (after creation via the API) I've sent your logs surrounding table creation from a fresh start (no tables, but no fresh cluster)
