Failover principle of Swift

Hi,

During my test i came across following behaviour:

My environment consists of 1 proxy node and 6 storage nodes (account/container/object). I close three nodes and tried to make some gets to certain objects. I have discovered that swift proxy tried to reach the nodes which are closed thus receiving connection timeouts. I guess i did not configure my ring properly against failover. What am i missing in my configuration? You can see my configuration below:

ring configuration with partition power 18 replication 3

account-server.conf

[DEFAULT] bind_ip = 0.0.0.0 workers = 8

[pipeline:main] pipeline = account-server

[app:account-server] use = egg:swift#account

[account-replicator] run_pause=900

[account-auditor]

[account-reaper]

container-server.conf

[DEFAULT] bind_ip = 0.0.0.0 workers = 8

[pipeline:main] pipeline = container-server

[app:container-server] use = egg:swift#container

[container-replicator] run_pause=900

[container-updater]

[container-auditor]

object-server.conf

[DEFAULT] bind_ip = 0.0.0.0 workers = 8

[pipeline:main] pipeline = object-server

[app:object-server] use = egg:swift#object

[object-replicator] run_pause=900 ring_check_interval=900

[object-updater]

[object-auditor]

If you only stop two nodes do you still have problems?

It seems like on three replica system, with 50% of the cluster offline - there's going to be some objects that only exist on downed nodes?

Thank you for your answer. It seems like our application inserting and retrieving containers had some problem. You are right that for 50% of cluster being offline some object cannot be retrieved and after more test i verified that failover work properly, if one node is down swift will look for another node.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
