    Description

      This is a strange one:

      A pessimistic transaction started on the primary owner during state transfer can fail because a backup owner issues a ClusteredGetCommand to the primary while processing the write command. This can happen if the backup needs to perform a remote get (due to a DELTA_WRITE, conditional, or reliable return values). In this case, it's a DELTA_WRITE.

      In this chain of events, state transfer is ongoing, and the union CH is (east-dht5, west-dht5, east-dht6) In this case, the pessimistic transaction originated on east-dht5 must be invoked on west-dht5 and east-dht6:

      Let's examine east-dht6. It gets the write request. It needs to perform a remote get to pull the full key context, since it receives only the delta.

      east-dht5 receives the ClusteredGetCommand request. Because TxDistributionInterceptor::line 325 is true, the acquireRemoteLock flag is set to true.

              boolean acquireRemoteLock = false;
               if (ctx.isInTxScope()) {
                  TxInvocationContext txContext = (TxInvocationContext) ctx;
                  acquireRemoteLock = isWrite && isPessimisticCache && !txContext.getAffectedKeys().contains(key);
               }
      

      Thus, when east-dht5 runs the ClusteredGetCommand. it will create and invoke a LockControlCommand. Because the LCC is created inline, it will not have its origin set. But the LCC will create a RemoteTxInvocationContext. When the LCC runs through the interceptor chain, TxInterceptor::invokeNextInterceptorAndVerifyTransaction will check the originator (because of the remote context). When it doesn't find it, it will force a rollback.

      // ROLLBACK HAPPENS HERE
      

      When the transaction attempts to commit, it fails due to the spurious rollback. For instance:

      So it looks like there's a couple ways to handle this. One would be to only acquire a remote lock in TxDistributionInterceptor if the current node was the originator. Another – possibly less intrusive – would be to set the origin of the invoked LCC command to that of the ClusteredGetCommand. The former should be preferable, but this code tends to be a bit labyrinthine with the various pessimistic use cases out there.
