Automatic Tarantool Recovery

If your system architecture doesn’t imply uninterrupted availability of Tarantool servers, it is recommended to enable automatic database recovery. In this case, each time an error occurs while reading a snapshot or xlog file, Tarantool will skip invalid records, read as much data as possible, and re-build the file.

To enable automatic database recovery, do the following:

  1. For each Tarantool shard, open the configuration file /etc/tarantool/instances.available/shard-*.lua and uncomment force_recovery = true.

    sudo vi /etc/tarantool/instances.available/shard-*.lua
    
    
    box.cfg{
    
        force_recovery = true,
    }
    
  2. Restart the shards.

    systemctl restart tarantool@shard-*
