If a test shuts down a node without committing or aborting a prepared transaction, collection validation will run into a prepare conflict. Previously, this would result in a hang. After SERVER-40936, this results in an invariant failure. While this is easy to avoid, it contradicts our general philosophy that we should not be able to hit invariants in tests. It might also be worth investigating if there are any other dangers that might come of this.

It is expected that the result of validate does not include uncommitted transactions. geert.bosch commented on Wed, 26 Jun 2019 03:02:01 +0000: One of the reasons validate acquires an X lock is that the storage engine (at least in the case of WiredTiger) may not be able to actually do a full validation if there still are open cursors on the collection. Another reason is that validate may actually write to update some stats, such as document count and storage size, that may not be tracked perfectly in presence of failures and rollbacks, but are recomputed anyway during validation. Rather than trying to improve this, I think it is better to focus on background validation and eventually making that the default and only way to validate collections. judah.schvimer commented on Mon, 24 Jun 2019 18:22:03 +0000: The investigation in SERVER-40723 didn't cover X locks. I don't really remember why not, but I think it was because I assumed we couldn't take them on secondaries. Doing something similar to SERVER-40938 feels appropriate for this ticket. geert.bosch, why does validate acquire an X lock instead of an S lock? Is it ok for it to ignore prepare conflicts? Are there any other X locks we should be worried about? Is it a problem for validate to not accept afterClusterTime? bruce.lucas@10gen.com commented on Mon, 24 Jun 2019 16:58:13 +0000: Sounds like this is something a customer could encounter as well, and hitting an invariant during shutdown would not be an optimal behavior from a customer perspective.
