Could not yet find a solution to not stash the context for same node.
Tried with these changes:
try (ThreadContext.StoredContext stashedContext = (isDirectRequest ? null: getThreadContext().stashContext())) {
final TransportResponseHandler<T> restoringHandler = isDirectRequest ? handler : new RestoringTransportResponseHandler<T>(handler, stashedContext);
But the test fails with ClusterManagernotDiscoveredException
everytime on test start.

It is perhaps good idea to continue stashing from security point of view too. That way, any existing transients assumed to be cleared are not carry forwarded.
For example let us assume current thread context had a,b,c entries and we explicitly passed around only a & b. Now carry forwarding c may be a security concern.

I would guess that this is related to the wrong check for isDirectRequest
. But, yes, I would also recommend to stash anyway and just restore the transients which you want to keep. That would be the most conservative and most minimal change.

Because for direct requests we don't pass headers (which would then be serialized and put as a transient), rather we directly put the transient object, User, in the thread context via sendMessageDecorate
in SecurityInterceptor and fetch it as an object from thread context here. By doing so we skip serialization and deserialization of direct requests.

Yep, that is the wrong end.
Trying to think of a correct check:
In SecurityInterceptor
we need to check whether connection.getNode()
is equal to the local node, similar to how TransportService
is doing it here:
The local node could be retrieved by clusterService.localNode()
. I am not sure, though, whether this is a 100% correct approach, as TransportService
as a slightly more involved way to get the local node. See:
Alternatively, one might try to get ahold of a reference to TransportService
. However, this only works with hacks in a non-Guice context:

i originally started out with localNode and connection node comparison, however interpreted the discussion on the GH issue as proposing to use headerhelper and so changed it to that. I have now changed it back to the original comparison.

Per entry if-else clauses can be prone to error as it needs matching checks on receiver end. Can we generalize to either use transients vs header for all config entries? That way, there is consistent symmetric code for passing configs.
Something along the lines of
if (isDirect) {
putTransient(remoteAddress..);
putTransient(securityUser..);
putTransient(injectedRoles..);
putTransient(injectedUser..);
} else {
putHeader(remoteAddress..);
putHeader(securityUser..);
putHeader(injectedRoles..);
putHeader(injectedUser..);
}

FYI direct !== same node - @DarshitChanpura and I figured this out today after debugging the failing tests:
In OpenSearch, the channelType is a parameter that indicates the type of communication channel used for inter-node communication. There are two types of channels: direct and transport.
direct: This type of channel is used for communication between nodes within the same JVM (Java Virtual Machine). It's used for local node-to-node communication, which means it's used when the nodes are on the same machine or in the same OpenSearch process.
transport: This type of channel is for communication between nodes that are not in the same JVM. It's used for remote node-to-node communication, which means it's used when the nodes are on different machines or in different OpenSearch processes.
In summary, the direct channelType is used for local communication within the same JVM, while the transport channelType is used for remote communication between different JVMs.

This doesn't seem right - which assertion is failing?

I'm not sure but in my research, I found that in some instances the ClusterState was not initialized (which is accessed via state()) and this caused a bunch of tests to fail. My understanding was that since cs is initiated upon node spin-up, the state info will always be available, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

In order to form the initial cluster state, it is already necessary to exchange transport messages which pass through here. TransportService uses a different approach to retrieve the reference to the local node. As this also needs to pass through the early transport messages, it is likely that here the local node information is already available:

Well, I think catching an Error, especially an AssertionError is a code smell. It is problematic for two reasons:
- You could be also catching other AssertionErrors which are more serious and not meant to be ignored.
- Assertions are usually only enabled in dev environments. However, that does not mean that the error will just go away in a prod environment. It is possible that it is just deferred to a different code place which then bails with an NPE or similar thing. Thus, code that works in dev could break in prod.
Thus, I would recommend to use an approach which does not require catching AssertionErrors.

Hm, I guess that will be also the very early initialization phase when localNode in TransportService is null, right?
I would still believe that TransportService will know earlier about localNode than ClusterService. Also, if we use the localNode from TransportService, we could use a simple null check instead of catching the AssertionError.

Will the null check not defeat the purpose? How will it be different from catching an AssertionError when cluster state is not accessible from this class?

I don't think it will defeat the purpose. With the null check, you have full control, you know exactly what you are checking, that is the localNode value.
When catching an AssertionError, you have less control:
- The source of the assertion error can be also another code place, thus by ignoring it you could obscure other severe issues.
- Also, as discussed above the assertion is not performed on prod systems, which gives you a QA liability if you are relying on it.

thank you for the explanation!. I'll update the condition here. If you have any resources handy that I can take a look for assertions and their usage in Prod vs staging, it would be helpful for me.

@nibix After updating GuiceHolder to contain an instance of TransportService and use that instance to fetch the localNode information, I'm getting different results:
cs.localNode() (the localNode value from ClusterState) matches the value of the node the connection originated from (resulting in passing tests), but localNode value (retrieved from TransportService instance) is not matching connection.getNode() resulting in test failures. |
Oh, hm, interesting. I think I have an idea where this is coming from. Am I right in the assumption that you get that error when testing in a junit based test with a cluster embedded in the JVM? If yes: This indeed collides with the GuiceHolder. Unfortunately, the GuiceHolder is at closer consideration a quite dirty hack to get ahold of dependencies which area only available by deprndecy injection. It uses for this a static attribute in the SecurityPlugin class. While in an JVM embedded cluster the nodes and also the instances of the SecurityPlugin can coexist very well together, this static class is a collision. The different nodes write in an undetermined fashion references to their own TransportService into it. That's why you see other results there, at least if my assumption is correct. Of course the more important part of the consideration would be "how can this be fixed". To be honest I also don't know at the moment. I will have to look at the code and think about it for a while. 😔 |
Yes, I saw this while running one of the failing unit tests.
If that is indeed the case, then do you think it might be worthwhile to look into using cluster state() as an alternative for getting localNode reference, cause that seems to be available at almost all time (except during cluster bootstrap using it Zen Discover mechanism, although I'm not a 100% sure whether the request will flow through security with some cluster state info during bootstrap).
Thank you for helping with this. |

This logic in the receiver was simplified using @krishna-ggk 's suggestion here: #2765 (comment)
The receiver does not need any logic to determine where the request came from, if the transient headers are present then there is no need to deserialize. If the serialized (non-transient) headers are present then it will deserialize them.
