look at implementing eventual consistency mitigations

Open briantist opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

SUMMARY

https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/enterprise/consistency#mitigations

This can happen in Vault performance standby mode where you do a login for example, and then do a subsequent request with the resulting token, and that request hits a node which does not yet have the token replicated to it, and so the request fails.

The retry support we have in the collection actually already mitigates this if it's enabled. But we may want to look at more deeply addressing this particular case, by way of the headers available.

Will need to look into this some more and what support hvac already has. It may end up being a PR to hvac instead and then some minimal consumption of it on our end.
