[Bug 1783203] Re: Upgrade to RabbitMQ 3.6.10 causes beam lockup in clustered deployment

[Dr. Jens Harbott]

Forgot to mention: The log in /var/log/rabbitmq/rabbit at hostname.log just
stops when the server hangs, no output until after it is being
restarted.

Title:
  Upgrade to RabbitMQ 3.6.10 causes beam lockup in clustered deployment

Status in OpenStack rabbitmq-server charm:
  New
Status in rabbitmq-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While performing an openstack release upgrade from Pike to Queens
  following the charmers guide, we have upgraded Ceph-* and Mysql.
  After setting source=cloud:xenial-queens on the RabbitMQ-Server charm
  and the cluster re-stabilizes, rabbitmq beam processes lock up on one
  cluster node causing complete denial of service on the openstack vhost
  across all 3 members of the cluster.  Killing the beam process on that
  node causes another node to lock up within a short timeframe.

  We have reproduced this twice in the same environment by re-deploying
  a fresh pike rabbitmq cluster and upgrading to queens.  The issue is
  not reproducable with generic workloads such as creating/deleting nova
  instances and creating/attaching/detaching cinder volumes, however,
  when running a full heat stack, we can reproduce this issue.

  This is happening on two of the three clouds on this site when RMQ is
  upgraded to Queens.  The third cloud was able to upgrade to Queens
  without issue but was upgraded on 18.02 charms.  Heat templates
  forthcoming.
