Redis Cluster Issue - redis

I have setup a redis cluster with three master nodes with version 5.0.6
One of the node went down all of a sudden because of load test. The node came back up fine but I started observing a different type of issue in redis insight which I have attached an image of
Also in redis insight logs I observe this
redisinsight All nodes cached in the StrictRedisCluster object don't agree. Invalidating cached connection

Redis Cluster Single Node issue

Can Redis run in cluster mode enabled but with single instance. It seems we get cluster status as fail when we try to deploy with single node because no slots are added to it.

I understand we can manually add SLOTS after deployment. But I wonder if we can modify Redis source code to make this change.

Handle io.lettuce.core.RedisReadOnlyException when network is partitioned

I have a situation where I use sentinel to get current redis master from sentinel. My setup is one redis master and three slaves and three sentinel nodes. This works fine in most situations but I have found that if I get a network split where the current master and the sentinel node that is configured first in the list of sentinel nodes are isolated from the other nodes, the other two sentinel nodes are doing a reelection to a new master, as intended.
My problem is that when the isolated previous master is accessing the common network again and is reconfigured to slave, my application is never notified that a new master is elected and continues to write to a slave since it still thinks it is writing to a master, ending up in getting "Error in execution; nested exception is io.lettuce.core.RedisReadOnlyException: READONLY You can't write against a read only slave."
I do not know if this is a redis problem or framework problem. Should redis when it is reconfigured from master to save terminate the connection like it is done in normal circumstances when a new master is elected or should the framework handle exceptions and query for current master?
One more interesting aspect of this is if the sentinel node configured first in the sentinel node list continues to be isolated, the behavior continues even if the application accessing redis is restarted.
Is there any mechanism to handle this situation or is this a bug or enhancement to the framework?

Ignite error upgrading the setup in Kubernetes

While I upgraded the Ignite that is deployed in Kubernetes (EKS) for Log4j vulnerability, I get the error below
[ignite-1] Caused by: class org.apache.ignite.spi.IgniteSpiException: BaselineTopology of joining node (54b55de4-7742-4e82-9212-7158bf51b4a9) is not compatible with BaselineTopology in the cluster. Joining node BlT id (4) is greater than cluster BlT id (3). New BaselineTopology was set on joining node with set-baseline command. Consider cleaning persistent storage of the node and adding it to the cluster again.
The setup is a 3 node cluster, with native persistence enabled (PVC). This seems to be occurring many times in our journey with Apache Ignite, having followed the official guide.
I cannot clean the storage as the pod gets restarted every now and then, by the time I get the pod shell the pod crash & restarts.
This might happen to be due to the wrong startup order, starting nodes manually in reverse order may resolve this, but I'm not sure if that is possible in K8s. Another possible issue might be related to the baseline auto-adjustment that might change your baseline unexpectedly, I suggest you turn it off if it's enabled.
One of the workarounds to clean a DB of a failing POD might be (quite tricky) - to replace Ignite image with some simple image like a plain Debian or Alpine docker images (just to be able to access CLI) keeping the same PVC attached, and once you fix the persistence issue, set the Ignite image back. The other one is - to access underlying PV directly if possible and do surgery in place.

Redis cluster node failure not detected on MISCONF

We currently have a redis cache cluster with 3 masters and 3 slaves hosted on 3 windows servers (1 master/slave by server). We are using StackExhange.Redis as our client.
We have RBD disabled but AOF enabled and are experiencing some problems with the cluster in the following situation :
One of our servers became full and the redis node on this server was unable to write to the AOF file (the error returned to the client was MISCONF Errors writing to the AOF file: No space left on device).
The cluster did not detect that the node was failing and so did not exlclude it from the cluster.
All cache operations were blocked until we make some place on the server.
We know that we don't need the AOF, so we have disalbed it after the incident.
But we would like to confirm or infirm our view on redis clustering: for us, if a node was experiencing a failure, the cluster would redirect all requests to another one. We have tested that with a stopped node master, a slave is promoted into a master so we are confident that our cluster is working, but we are not sure why, in our case, the node was not marked as a failure.
Is the cluster capable of detecting a node failure when the failure is only happening when a request is made from a client to the cluster ?

How to clean Apache Ignite caches and sort of start over?

I have a 3 node ignite cluster and 1 client that creates cache. During the development and testing, I had to stop the cluster or interrupt the cache building several time and the entire system is broken now. Only one node starts and the other nodes crashes. The client is blocked and it does not do anythin.
Is there any way to clean everything and sort of start fresh?
I am using Ignite 2.1 and using Persistent Cache storage.
Thank you for your help.
Just delete Ignite work directory - by default, it's ${IGNITE_HOME}/work.
Also, if you configured WAL store path, you need to clean it too:

Note: All data in persistent store will be lost.
