KubeDB - MongoDB ReplicaSet with Hidden-node
This tutorial will show you how to use KubeDB to run a MongoDB ReplicaSet with hidden-node.
Before You Begin
Before proceeding:
Read mongodb hidden-node concept to get the concept about MongoDB Hidden node.
You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using kind.
Now, install KubeDB cli on your workstation and KubeDB operator in your cluster following the steps here.
To keep things isolated, this tutorial uses a separate namespace called
demothroughout this tutorial. Run the following command to prepare your cluster for this tutorial:$ kubectl create ns demo namespace/demo created
Note: The yaml files used in this tutorial are stored in docs/examples/mongodb folder in GitHub repository kubedb/docs.
Deploy MongoDB ReplicaSet with Hidden-node
To deploy a MongoDB ReplicaSet, user have to specify spec.replicaSet option in Mongodb CRD.
The following is an example of a Mongodb object which creates MongoDB ReplicaSet of three members.
apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1
kind: MongoDB
metadata:
name: mongo-rs-hid
namespace: demo
spec:
version: "percona-7.0.4"
replicaSet:
name: "replicaset"
podTemplate:
spec:
containers:
- name: mongo
resources:
requests:
cpu: "600m"
memory: "600Mi"
replicas: 3
storageEngine: inMemory
storageType: Ephemeral
ephemeralStorage:
sizeLimit: "900Mi"
hidden:
podTemplate:
spec:
resources:
requests:
cpu: "400m"
memory: "400Mi"
replicas: 2
storage:
storageClassName: "standard"
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 2Gi
deletionPolicy: WipeOut
Note: inMemory databases are only allowed for Percona variations of mongodb
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/examples/mongodb/hidden-node/replicaset.yaml
mongodb.kubedb.com/mongo-rs-hid created
Here,
spec.replicaSetrepresents the configuration for replicaset.namedenotes the name of mongodb replicaset.
spec.keyFileSecret(optional) is a secret name that contains keyfile (a random string)againstkey.txtkey. Each mongod instances in the replica set andshardTopologyuses the contents of the keyfile as the shared password for authenticating other members in the replicaset. Only mongod instances with the correct keyfile can join the replica set. User can provide thekeyFileSecretby creating a secret with keykey.txt. See here to create the string forkeyFileSecret. IfkeyFileSecretis not given, KubeDB operator will generate akeyFileSecretitself.spec.replicasdenotes the number of general members inrs0mongodb replicaset.spec.podTemplatedenotes specifications of all the 3 general replicaset members.spec.storageEngineis set to inMemory, &spec.storageTypeto ephemeral.spec.ephemeralStorageholds the emptyDir volume specifications. This storage spec will be passed to the PetSet created by KubeDB operator to run database pods. So, each members will have a pod of this ephemeral storage configuration.spec.hiddendenotes hidden-node spec of the deployed MongoDB CRD. There are four fields under it :spec.hidden.podTemplateholds the hidden-node podSpec.nullvalue of it, instructs kubedb operator to use the default hidden-node podTemplate.spec.hidden.configSecretis an optional field to provide custom configuration file for database (i.e mongod.cnf). If specified, this file will be used as configuration file otherwise default configuration file will be used.spec.hidden.replicasholds the number of hidden-node in the replica set.spec.hidden.storagespecifies the StorageClass of PVC dynamically allocated to store data for these hidden-nodes. This storage spec will be passed to the PetSet created by KubeDB operator to run database pods. So, each members will have a pod of this storage configuration. You can specify any StorageClass available in your cluster with appropriate resource requests.
KubeDB operator watches for MongoDB objects using Kubernetes api. When a MongoDB object is created, KubeDB operator will create two new PetSets (one for replicas & one for hidden-nodes) and a Service with the matching MongoDB object name. This service will always point to the primary of the replicaset. KubeDB operator will also create a governing service for the pods of those two PetSets with the name <mongodb-name>-pods.

Please note that KubeDB operator has created a new Secret called mongo-rs-hid-auth (format: {mongodb-object-name}-auth) for storing the password for mongodb superuser. This secret contains a username key which contains the username for MongoDB superuser and a password key which contains the password for MongoDB superuser.
If you want to use custom or existing secret please specify that when creating the MongoDB object using spec.authSecret.name. While creating this secret manually, make sure the secret contains these two keys containing data username and password. For more details, please see here.
Redundancy and Data Availability
Now, you can connect to this database through mongo-rs-hid. In this tutorial, we will insert document on the primary member, and we will see if the data becomes available on secondary members.
At first, insert data inside primary member rs0:PRIMARY.
$ kubectl get secrets -n demo mongo-rs-hid-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.\username}' | base64 -d

$ kubectl get secrets -n demo mongo-rs-hid-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.\password}' | base64 -d

Here, Hidden-node’s statestr is showing SECONDARY. If you want to see if they have been really added as hidden or not, you need to run rs.conf() command, look at the hidden: true specifications.

Now, check the redundancy and data availability in secondary members.
We will exec in mongo-rs-hid-hidden-0(which is a hidden node right now) to check the data availability.
$ kubectl exec -it mongo-rs-hid-hidden-0 -n demo bash
bash-4.4$ mongo admin -u root -p 'OX4yb!IFm;~yAHkD'

Automatic Failover
To test automatic failover, we will force the primary member to restart. As the primary member (pod) becomes unavailable, the rest of the members will elect a primary member by election.
$ kubectl get pods -n demo
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
mongo-rs-hid-0 2/2 Running 0 34m
mongo-rs-hid-1 2/2 Running 0 33m
mongo-rs-hid-2 2/2 Running 0 33m
mongo-rs-hid-hidden-0 1/1 Running 0 33m
mongo-rs-hid-hidden-1 1/1 Running 0 32m
$ kubectl delete pod -n demo mongo-rs-hid-0
pod "mongo-rs-hid-0" deleted
$ kubectl get pods -n demo
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
mongo-rs-hid-0 2/2 Terminating 0 34m
mongo-rs-hid-1 2/2 Running 0 33m
mongo-rs-hid-2 2/2 Running 0 33m
mongo-rs-hid-hidden-0 1/1 Running 0 33m
mongo-rs-hid-hidden-1 1/1 Running 0 32m
Now verify the automatic failover, Let’s exec in mongo-rs-hid-0 pod,
$ kubectl exec -it mongo-rs-hid-0 -n demo bash
bash-4.4:/$ mongo admin -u root -p 'OX4yb!IFm;~yAHkD'

# Also verify, data persistency

{
"_id" : ObjectId("635f5df01804db954f81276e"),
"pink floyd" : "shine on you crazy diamond"
}
We could terminate the hidden-nodes also in a similar fashion, & check the automatic failover.
Cleaning up
To cleanup the Kubernetes resources created by this tutorial, run:
kubectl delete -n demo mg/mongo-rs-hid
kubectl delete ns demo
