The current getHealth mechanism checks a local accounts hash slot vs. those of other nodes as specified by --known-validator. This is a very coarse comparison given that the default for this value is 100 slots. More so, any nodes using a value larger than the default (ie --incremental-snapshot-interval 500) will likely see getHealth return status behind at some point. Change the underlying mechanism of how health is computed. Instead of using the accounts hash slots published in gossip, use the latest optimistically confirmed slot from the cluster. Even when a node is behind, it is able to observe cluster optimistically confirmed by slots by viewing votes published in gossip. Thus, the latest cluster optimistically confirmed slot can be compared against the latest optimistically confirmed bank from replay to determine health. This new comparison is much more granular, and not needing to depend on individual known validators is also a plus. |
