Allow raft TrailingLogs to be configured. (#6186)
This fixes pathological cases where the write throughput and snapshot size are both so large that more than 10k log entries are written in the time it takes to restore the snapshot from disk. In this case followers that restart can never catch up with leader replication again and enter a loop of constantly downloading a full snapshot and restoring it only to find that snapshot is already out of date and the leader has truncated its logs so a new snapshot is sent etc.

In general if you need to adjust this, you are probably abusing Consul for purposes outside its design envelope and should reconsider your usage to reduce data size and/or write volume.

Consul Build Status Join the chat at https://gitter.im/hashicorp-consul/Lobby

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.

Consul provides several key features:

  • Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.

  • Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.

  • Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.

  • Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.

  • Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization.

Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.

Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
