Raft orderers not able to elect a leader #raft #consensus


Shantharam, Manu
 

Hi,

I have a hyperledger network (1.4.3) with 3 orderers in raft configuration and 3 peers. This works fine when all component are up and running. However when one orderer, the leader, is stopped, I see logs related to the election process in both the orderers, but the leader selection doesn't seem to happen even after 15-20 mins (I see the election process logs being output continuously). How much time does it take to elect a leader? Is there a configuration that would break any tie (in terms of vote) quickly?

Thanks,
Manu

Can you supply logs of all orderers?

Hi,

Please find the following logs attached:

2-orderer-logs-leader-stopped: logs of the two online orderers
working-orderer-logs: partial logs of all the orderers

Note: I have two hosts and one of them has two orderers.

Thanks,
Manu
