Why
During peer discovery, when the feature flags state is synchronized on a starting node that joins a cluster thanks to peer discovery, the list of nodes returned by
rabbit_nodes:list_running()
is incorrect because Mnesia is not initiliazed yet.Because of that, the synchronization works on the wrong inventory of feature flags. In the end, the states of feature flags is incorrect across the cluster.
How
rabbit_mnesia
passes a list of nodes torabbit_feature_flags:sync_feature_flags_with_cluster/2
. We can use this list, as we did in feature flags V1. This makes sure that the synchronization works with a valid list of cluster members, in case the cluster state is not ready yet.
