Production guideline is missing information about using memory over storage when running Dapr in HA mode with actors
Describe the issue
The documentation which provides Dapr users with production guidelines for installing Dapr fails to mention any information about the fact that there can be issues when running Dapr in HA mode with actors. Specifically, there needs to be information about setting the following configuration for the placement service when running in HA mode:
forceInMemory: true
URL of the docs
https://docs.dapr.io/operations/hosting/kubernetes/kubernetes-production#high-availability-mode
Expected content
As mentioned above, there should be a paragraph under the HA mode header that states that there are known issues when sharing a PVC for storage of the actor addresses as after a long time with a large number of pod/node restarts, the state can become an issue for the placement service. Thus we need two sections of documentation:
- For new installations, users should set
forceInMemory: true
before installing. - For those who have already installed Dapr with HA mode, they will need to first delete the stateful set and then run a Dapr upgrade with the
forceInMemory: true
set to true.
