Go-ipfs: Starting with `ipfs daemon --init` makes bunch of `duplicate metrics collector registration attempted` to happen

[victorb]

Version information:

$ ipfs version --all                                                                                                           
go-ipfs version: 0.4.9-rc2-
Repo version: 5
System version: amd64/linux
Golang version: go1.8.1

Type:

Bug

Severity:

Very low

Description:

When starting a daemon with ipfs daemon --init, it seems that the prometheus collector is registering everything twice and printing out bunch of warnings.

[whyrusleeping]

Very strange. Did you build ipfs from source? or is this a pre-built binary?

[victorb]

@whyrusleeping prebuilt, downloaded from dist.ipfs.io

[victorb]

Tried master again, on OSX this time and same issue.

[hitchhiker]

This is still a problem, same on latest win / x64

[whyrusleeping]

@hitchhiker what version of ipfs were you using? I was not able to reproduce this issue on windows 10 x64 using ipfs 0.4.10 binaries

[magik6k]

I can reproduce this, on latest master, Linux.

[hitchhiker]

@whyrusleeping ipfs 0.4.10 (x64) / win 10 / downloaded from https://dist.ipfs.io

Steps to reproduce:

Delete /users/[USERNAME]/.ipfs
Open regular CMD

ipfs daemon --init

-------------------------------------- REPEATS

[whyrusleeping]

Ah, the issue is specifically with the ipfs daemon --init flag.

[alfiedotwtf]

Still an issue for me:

Built with Go go1.10.3 for IPFS v0.4.15

[whyrusleeping]

@alfiedotwtf Thanks for the bump.

@magik6k or @Kubuxu could you take a look?

[machawk1]

I am experiencing this issue as well in https://github.com/oduwsdl/ipwb on macOS but only when using the software (ipwb) in Docker and when the local ipfs data repo is initialized (via ipfs daemon --init &).

[Stebalien]

The issue here is that we're:

1. Opening the repo.
2. Closing the repo (fully).
3. And then opening the repo.

However, closing the measure datastore (the metrics one) doesn't unregister the metrics reporters.

There are probably better solutions, in general, but this fixes the immediate issue (and is, in fact, the recommended approach).

Not sure if #5413 is really a duplicate since there's not the problem on init. It only happens when you do a ipfs add --only-hash=true test.txt.

The underlying issue is still the same (we're trying to register metrics collectors multiple times instead of creating new ones). However, that does bring up a good point: we shouldn't be caching in this case anyways. See: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5414.
