Summary

Implements cross-controller job adoption when a controller instance is lost. Previously, dispatched jobs (with work_unit_id) were immediately reaped. Now they are adopted by the surviving controller, enabling job recovery without data loss.

Key Changes:

  • _reap_and_mark_lost_instance() queues adopt_job_async for dispatched jobs from lost controllers
  • reattach_to_work_unit() supports cross-controller adoption via job.execution_node
  • _finalize_adopted_job() stores adoption metadata in job_explanation field
  • Updated docstrings to reflect that cross-controller adoption is now implemented

Test Plan

  • All 69 unit tests passing (13 fixed + 3 new)
  • All 8 functional tests passing (6 existing + 2 new)
  • Manual verification of adoption code paths
  • Code formatted with `make format`

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Job recovery now queues dispatched jobs for adoption by another controller. The adoption task claims jobs from their source controller, checks receptor work-unit status, and reattaches to local or remote work. Replay callbacks skip persisted events and record adoption details during finalization.

Changes

Job adoption and event replay

Layer / File(s) Summary
Queue, claim, and check work-unit status
awx/main/tasks/system.py, awx/main/tests/functional/tasks/test_tasks_system.py
Recovery queues dispatched jobs with a source controller. The adoption task claims a job only if it still belongs to that controller. It checks work-unit status before reattachment or timeout handling.
Reattach and finalize adopted jobs
awx/main/tasks/receptor.py, awx/main/tests/unit/tasks/test_receptor_adoption.py
Reattachment uses fetched status when available and queries remote work for jobs on another execution node. Finalization records the controller, work-unit ID, and execution node.
Configure callbacks and skip persisted events

Adoption callbacks receive the job environment and deduplication state. Counter scans identify a contiguous prefix and collision zone. Replay skips persisted counters, and inventory generation reuses script data to populate the host map.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 41f46

Cross-controller job recovery is not reliable yet. A long-running job adopted from a lost controller can be cancelled and marked failed while it is still healthy. The same job can also be replayed and finalized twice, and timed-out adoptions leave receptor connections open. These issues should be fixed before merging.

The collision-zone cap drops known counters, so replayed events are saved twice.

collision_zone_list already holds every counter above safe_threshold in memory. The slice collision_zone_list[:cap] then discards counters that are known to be in the database. The list has no order_by, so the slice keeps an arbitrary subset.

A single missing event makes every later event part of the collision zone. For example, the callback receiver drops an event after INDIVIDUAL_EVENT_RETRIES. With default settings the cap is JOB_EVENT_WORKERS * 1000. A job with more events than that after an early gap re-inserts the excess events during replay. The result is duplicate job events and stdout lines.

The truncation saves no memory, because the full list is already loaded. Keep all counters.

A related gap: the contiguous prefix does not check that it starts at counter 1. If counter 1 never reached the database, safe_threshold still covers it, and replay skips it.

🐛 Proposed fix
-    cap = settings.JOB_EVENT_WORKERS * settings.JOB_EVENT_CALLBACK_BUFFER_SIZE
-    collision_zone_list = list(job.get_event_queryset().filter(counter__gt=safe_threshold).values_list('counter', flat=True))

Status: ✅ FIXED

File: callback.py:202-205, 278-289

Early returns at 202-205 skip dispatch only. Bookkeeping (event_ct increment, wrapup_event_dispatched update, artifact processing) continues at 278-289 after the dispatch check completes. Deduplicated events increment counters and save artifacts without re-dispatching.

@hsong-rh, I checked the current code and need to correct my earlier reply. The returns at Lines 202–205 of awx/main/tasks/callback.py exit event_handler. They skip the bookkeeping at Lines 278–289, not only dispatch.

The original deduplication finding also remains: _compute_adoption_dedup still truncates collision_zone_list at Line 995 of awx/main/tasks/receptor.py. Its gap branch returns an empty collision zone at Line 980. I’ll leave this thread open.

🟠 Major · Keep bookkeeping for deduplicated events. · callback.py:199-205

awx/main/tasks/callback.py:199-205
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep bookkeeping for deduplicated events.

During adoption, event_handler returns for events already in the database before it increments event_ct, sets wrapup_event_dispatched, or processes artifact_data. Finalization can therefore save an emitted_events count lower than the database event count. event_processing_finished can remain false, and finished_callback sends the same low value as final_counter. A skipped event carrying artifacts can also leave artifacts unchanged.

Count skipped events and retain local bookkeeping. Skip only dispatch.

🐛 Suggested fix

             counter = event_data.get('counter')

+                    self.event_ct += 1

asserting the queued source_controller value.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Each retry calls work adopt again, so a deferred cross-controller job cannot reattach.

reattach_to_work_unit defers while the unit is Pending or Running. A later heartbeat therefore runs this function again. For a job with a remote execution_node, every run calls adopt_remote_work.

After the first run, this controller has already adopted the unit. Receptor #1564 rejects a second adoption of the same unit with "already in use". The retry then fails as follows:

  1. The except block runs.
  2. unit_status becomes None.
  3. unit_active stays False.
  4. reattach_to_work_unit calls adopt_remote_work again and returns False.

The job never reattaches. After HADR_JOB_ADOPTION_TIMEOUT, the timeout branch cancels the unit and reaps a healthy job.

The same check also routes a same-controller restart with a remote EE to adopt_remote_work. That unit already exists in this controller's local receptor.

Query local work status {unit_id} first. Call adopt_remote_work only when the local receptor does not know the unit.

🐛 Proposed direction
     try:
-        if job.execution_node and job.execution_node != settings.CLUSTER_HOST_ID:
-            # Cross-controller: use remote status (will be reused in reattach_to_work_unit)
-            remote_status = adopt_remote_work(receptor_ctl, job.execution_node, job.work_unit_id)
-            unit_status = remote_status
-            state = unit_status.get('StateName', '')
-        else:
-            # Same-controller: use local status (will be reused in reattach_to_work_unit)
-            unit_status = receptor_ctl.simple_command(f'work status {job.work_unit_id}')
-            state = unit_status.get('StateName', '')
+        try:
+            # Unit is known locally: same-controller job, or already adopted on an earlier attempt.
+            unit_status = receptor_ctl.simple_command(f'work status {job.work_unit_id}')
+        except Exception:
+            if not (job.execution_node and job.execution_node != settings.CLUSTER_HOST_ID):
+                raise
+            unit_status = adopt_remote_work(receptor_ctl, job.execution_node, job.work_unit_id)
+        state = unit_status.get('StateName', '')
         unit_active = state in ('Pending', 'Running')

Apply the same order in the fallback lookup in reattach_to_work_unit in awx/main/tasks/receptor.py.

Fixed in 3d3abf8 by the same get_adoption_unit_status() change — local work status first, adopt_remote_work only when the local receptor does not know the unit, at both call sites.

The premise about the retry is off, though. work adopt is idempotent: controlsvc.go calls findUnit first and returns {"unitid": ..., "result": "Already Adopted"} with a nil error, and findUnit rescans disk on an activeUnits miss, so it survives a receptor restart too. The "already in use" error lives in generateUnitID and is only reachable from AllocateRemoteUnit when creating a colliding unit — not from adopt. The real damage was different: the adopt response carries no StateName, so state came back '' and the Pending/Running defer gate was silently disabled. Same fix, different failure mode.

@hsong-rh, the results confirm your correction: my “already in use” premise was wrong. The local-first lookup also fixes the retry path when the local receptor knows the unit.

The first cross-controller attempt still appears affected. If local work status fails, get_adoption_unit_status() returns the work adopt response. That response has no StateName, so reattach_to_work_unit() reads '' and bypasses the Pending/Running defer check. Please query local work status after a successful adopt, and cover that first-attempt path in a test.

When a controller instance is lost, previously only undispatched jobs were
handled — dispatched jobs (work_unit_id set) were reaped immediately. This
implements cross-controller adoption for dispatched jobs: the surviving
controller queues adopt_job_async to stream results from the EE, enabling
job recovery without data loss.

Changes:
- system.py: _reap_and_mark_lost_instance() now calls adopt_job_async for
  dispatched jobs from lost controllers, with fallback to reaping on error.
- receptor.py: reattach_to_work_unit() now supports cross-controller adoption
  via job.execution_node: calls adopt_remote_work() for remote EEs,
  receptor_ctl.simple_command() for same-controller.
- receptor.py: _finalize_adopted_job() stores adoption metadata in
  job_explanation field (surviving controller, unit ID, execution node).
- Updated docstrings: removed "deferred to AAP-89602" and "same-controller
  only" limitation notes that are now obsolete.

Testing:
- Fixed 13 existing unit tests to explicitly set execution_node=None for
  same-controller paths (Mock objects are truthy by default).
- Added 3 new unit tests for cross-controller adoption paths and metadata.
- Added 2 new functional tests for _reap_and_mark_lost_instance behavior.
- All 69 unit tests + 8 functional tests passing.
