From 91d4273e255f184797a7e6a558e7ba4587c6855c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 07:36:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] chore(tooling): make .rustfmt.toml stable-honest; record CI/fmt findings MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The .rustfmt.toml enabled nightly-only options (wrap_comments, imports_granularity, group_imports, comment_width) while the build toolchain is pinned stable 1.95 and the fmt job that would apply them (pinned rust-toolchain.nightly via ci.yml) is not running — GitHub Actions is not enabled on this fork (PR #29 head has zero check runs). So those options were enforced by nothing yet made stable `cargo fmt` warn and reformat divergently. Comment them out so stable `cargo fmt` (the 1.95 pin, matching org policy of 99% stable / nightly only for Miri) is the single authoritative formatter. Re-enable as a block if a nightly-fmt CI job is ever turned on and the tree is normalized under it in one dedicated pass.

The convergent ingest→migrate→compact pattern + +Every production write-optimised store, no matter how its marketing +positions it, is built around the same three-phase pipeline: + +```text + INGEST MIGRATE COMPACT + (row-sequential, (deferred, batched, (background GC, + durable, fast) columnar/immutable) reclaim + reshape) + + RocksDB: WAL → memtable→SST flush → leveled compaction + ClickHouse: (async)→ part write → MergeTree merges + SurrealKV: WAL → LSM segment build → segment compaction + Lance(here):WAL → memtable→merge_insert → Dataset::optimize +``` + +The names differ; the **machine is identical**. Five invariants fall out +of this convergence, and `kv-lance` obeys all five. + +### The 5 invariants + +1. **Durability is row-sequential and group-committed; the columnar + write is deferred and batched.** You make a write durable by + appending it to a sequential log and fsyncing (cheap, O(1) seeks), + *not* by writing the columnar/immutable structure inline (expensive, + rewrites a manifest/SST). The columnar structure is built later, in + bulk, amortising the per-row cost. — *In `kv-lance`:* the WAL append + + fsync is the durability point; the Lance `merge_insert` is the + deferred columnar write (`flusher.rs::do_flush`). + +2. **Tiny commits are the enemy.** A store that turns each logical commit + into its own physical immutable unit dies of metadata. ClickHouse + calls this the **"too many parts"** error; in Lance the exact analogue + is **"too many versions"** (one manifest per commit, one fragment per + tiny append, scan-time fragment fan-out). The cure is always the same: + coalesce many logical commits into one physical unit. + +3. **Deletes are logical markers, reclaimed at compaction.** No store + physically erases a row on the delete path — that would force a + rewrite. RocksDB writes a delete-marker key; ClickHouse sets a + `_row_exists = 0` mask (lightweight `DELETE`); Lance carries deletion + vectors. The dead bytes are reclaimed *later*, during compaction. — + *In `kv-lance`:* a delete becomes a **tombstone row** (`tombstone = + true`), filtered out at read time (`schema.rs::build_get_predicate`, + `build_range_predicate`). + +4. **A monotonic counter is the MVCC spine, decoupled from physical + files.** Visibility ("which writes can this reader see?") is governed + by a logical sequence number, *not* by which SST/part/fragment a row + landed in. RocksDB's sequence number, an HLC timestamp, a Lance + manifest version — all the same idea: a monotone integer that orders + commits independently of physical layout. + +5. **Compaction is the one unifying GC.** All the deferred work — + merging tiny units, materialising delete masks, dropping shadowed + versions, reshaping fragments — is collected into a single background + process. There is exactly one GC, and it is compaction. — *In + `kv-lance`:* `background_optimizer.rs` (`compact_files` + + `cleanup_old_versions`). + +These five are the lens for everything below. The whole point of +"gridlake" is that **Lance already gives you a versioned columnar lake; +we just need to bolt the row-sequential durable front-end (WAL+memtable) +onto it and let one compactor sweep behind.** + +--- + +## 2. Mapping the pattern onto `kv-lance` + +The hot path is already wired (the default `WritePath::LsmWithWal`).

Commit = + WAL fsync + memtable insert + notify flusher, then return `Ok` + (`mod.rs::commit_lsm` ~L936). Lance is updated asynchronously by the + flusher. **Isolation: read-committed** (reads see `memtable[now] ∪ + lance[latest]`). **Throughput: WAL-fsync-bounded per writer, scales + with concurrency.** + +- **`WritePath::LegacyCommitGate`.** Each commit submits to the + per-Datastore `CommitGate`, which batches concurrent submitters in a + ~500 µs window and issues ONE `merge_insert` per batch + (`commit_gate.rs::coordinator_loop`/`execute_batch`). `commit()` + returns only after the Lance commit lands (`mod.rs::commit_legacy_gate` + ~L978). **Isolation: strict snapshot** (reads pin to + `checkout_version(read_version)`). **Throughput: + Lance-commit-latency-bounded.** + +Both paths converge on the *same* `single_lance_commit` shape +(`merge_insert` keyed on `key`, writes + tombstones in one reader). The +LSM path defers it; the gate path runs it inline. The gate path is the +one a per-commit-granular timeline consumer (the "Rubicon kanban") must +use — see EPIPHANIES 2026-05-30 "timeline granularity = +write-path-dependent". + +--- + +## 3. WAL / ACID story + +This section pins **exactly where each ACID property is enforced**. The +non-obvious result: SurrealDB-on-Lance gets full ACID on the hot path +*even though Lance itself is updated asynchronously*, because durability +lives in the WAL and atomicity lives in the single `merge_insert`. + +### 3.1 Atomicity — WAL group-commit + one `merge_insert` = one version + +A SurrealDB transaction buffers its writes/deletes in `PendingBuffer` +(`mod.rs::Transaction::pending`). On `commit()` the buffer is partitioned +once (`pending.partition()`, ~L570) into `(writes, deletes)`. Atomicity +is then enforced at **two layers**: + +1. **The WAL record is the atomic unit of durability.** `commit_lsm` + allocates one `generation`, builds **one** `WalRecord { generation, + ops }` carrying *all* writes and deletes of the transaction, and + `append`s it under a single fsync (`wal.rs::append` ~L131). Crash + recovery is all-or-nothing per record: a torn tail record (incomplete + length prefix or body) is dropped wholesale on replay + (`wal.rs::replay` recovery contract, ~L159–L254). So a transaction is + either fully durable or fully absent — never half. + +2. **The flush is one Lance commit = one version.** `do_flush` + (`flusher.rs` ~L205) snapshots the memtable, partitions into writes + + deletes, and calls `single_lance_commit` — which streams **both** a + write batch (`build_write_batch_lance`) **and** a tombstone batch + (`build_tombstone_batch_lance`) through a **single** + `MergeInsertBuilder::execute_reader` keyed on `["key"]` (~L296). One + `execute_reader` = one Lance manifest version. + +> **The codex P1 fix (EPIPHANIES 2026-05-30).** Before this fix, +> `single_lance_commit` applied writes via `merge_insert` and deletes via +> a *separate* `Dataset::delete` — **two** native Lance commits. Any batch +> carrying both produced two versions: an intermediate (writes applied, +> deletes pending) and the final. The datastore write lock hid the +> intermediate from *live* readers, but `Timeline::versions()` enumerates +> raw `Dataset::versions()` and surfaced it, letting a replayer +> `view_at()` a **torn state that never atomically existed**. Folding +> deletes in as tombstone rows in the *same* `merge_insert` makes +> **1 commit = 1 version structurally, not by convention**. This is the +> single most important atomicity guarantee in the backend. (Regression: +> `test_timeline_write_delete_commit_is_single_atomic_version`; codex P1 +> on PR #29, `discussion_r3328296248`.) + +### 3.2 Consistency — keyed merge + tombstone read-predicate + +Consistency = "a key has exactly one current value, and a deleted key +reads as absent." Two mechanisms: + +- **`merge_insert` keyed on `key`** with `WhenMatched::UpdateAll` + + `WhenNotMatched::InsertAll` (`single_lance_commit` ~L296). A memtable + snapshot holds **exactly one op per key** (the `DashMap` overwrites by + `generation`, `memtable.rs::insert` ~L90), so the merge source has + **unique keys** and the upsert is well-defined — no duplicate live rows + for a key can result from a flush. + +- **Tombstone read-predicate `tombstone = false`.** Every read path + filters tombstones out: `build_get_predicate` → `key = X'..' AND + tombstone = false` (`schema.rs` ~L144); `build_range_predicate` → + `... AND tombstone = false` (~L150). A deleted key therefore reads as + absent (`get` returns `None`) even though its tombstone row physically + persists until compaction. The in-memory layers mirror this: `get` + treats `MemOp::Delete` as `None` (`mod.rs` ~L659); `scan_impl` overlays + `MemOp::Delete`/`PendingEntry::Delete` as `merged.insert(k, None)` + (~L1214–L1240). + +The **read layering** that keeps consistency across the async flush is +(oldest→newest, later wins): `Lance < memtable < pending` +(`scan_impl` ~L1194). Read-your-writes is the pending buffer; committed- +but-unflushed is the memtable; durable is Lance. + +### 3.3 Isolation — immutable Lance snapshot (where Lance beats RocksDB) + +This is the property where the columnar/versioned substrate is *strictly +better* than a classic LSM KV store. + +- **`LegacyCommitGate`** gives **strict snapshot isolation**: each + transaction captures `read_version` at `begin` (`Datastore::transaction` + ~L385 → `current_version`), and every read pins to + `checkout_version(read_version)` (`get` ~L694, `scan_impl` ~L1119). + `checkout_version` returns an **immutable, owned `Dataset`** snapshot — + the reader cannot observe any commit that landed after `begin`. + +- **Time-travel reads** (`get(key, Some(v))`) check out an *arbitrary* + historical version on either path (`mod.rs` ~L688). The read-only + `TimelineView` (`timeline.rs` ~L147) owns a checked-out snapshot and + exposes `get`/`scan` only — **no** `set`/`del`/`commit`. So "SurrealDB + is a *view* over the lake, never a store" is a **type-system + guarantee**, not a convention (EPIPHANIES 2026-05-29). + +- **`LsmWithWal`** deliberately relaxes to **read-committed**: unversioned + reads hit Lance *@ latest* (`ds.inner.clone()`, `get` ~L692), not a + frozen snapshot. **Why:** the flusher publishes rows into Lance + asynchronously, so a transaction's `read_version` may be stale by the + time the reader runs; pinning to a stale manifest would *hide* rows the + flusher just published. Reading @ latest keeps `memtable[now] ∪ + lance[latest]` internally consistent (the long comment in `get`, + ~L666–L699). This is the explicit throughput-for-isolation trade of the + LSM path; the gate path is the strict-iso alternative. + +> Why Lance beats RocksDB here: RocksDB snapshots are *ephemeral* +> (sequence-number pins that vanish when the snapshot handle drops, and +> cannot be re-derived after compaction GC). Lance versions are +> *first-class, durable, enumerable* (`Dataset::versions()`), so a reader +> can pin, drop, and *re-pin the same historical state hours later* — the +> basis for the `Timeline` surface RocksDB structurally cannot offer. + +### 3.4 Durability — WAL fsync; manifest as the checkpoint + +- **The fsync is the durability point.** `Wal::append` does + `write_all(len) → write_all(body) → sync_all()` (`wal.rs` ~L147–L155). + When `commit_lsm` returns, the record is on disk; a process crash before + the flusher runs **does not lose the commit** — it replays on next open + (`Datastore::new` replays the WAL into the memtable, `mod.rs` + ~L301–L337). + +- **The Lance manifest is the checkpoint the WAL truncates against.** + After a flush's `merge_insert` succeeds, `do_flush` calls + `wal.truncate_to(up_to_gen + 1)` (`flusher.rs` ~L241): every WAL record + whose `generation ≤ up_to_gen` is now durable *in the Lance manifest* + and can be dropped from the log. `truncate_to` rewrites a fresh sibling + file and `rename`s it over the original — atomic on POSIX, so a crash + mid-truncate leaves either the old or new WAL, never a torn mix + (`wal.rs` ~L267–L344). **This is the classic WAL+checkpoint contract: + the log is bounded by the last durable checkpoint, and the checkpoint is + the columnar manifest.** + +- **Ordering guarantee on the hot path.** `commit_lsm` appends to the WAL + **before** inserting into the memtable (`mod.rs` ~L959–L968), so a + reader can never observe a key whose WAL append has not yet succeeded. + +**Durability test surface (as-built).** `tests.rs::lsm_recovery_*` +(~L1391, ~L1459) simulate a crash via `Box::leak` (no graceful +`shutdown`, so the in-flight flusher never drains) with +`disable_background_flusher: true` so **the WAL is the sole durability +source**. They assert that every acked write — and every delete tombstone +— survives re-open. `disable_background_flusher` is the test-only knob in +`LanceConfig` (~L358) that makes this race-free. Phase 1 (§8) extends this +into an explicit adaptive-batching durability proof. + +--- + +## 4. ClickHouse parity + +ClickHouse and `kv-lance` are the same MergeTree machine wearing different +clothes. The analogies are concrete; so are the places they break down. + +### 4.1 The analogy table + +| ClickHouse concept | `kv-lance` analogue | Symbol | +| ------------------ | ------------------- | ------ | +| **part** (immutable data dir) | Lance **fragment / version** | produced by `single_lance_commit` | +| `INSERT` writes a new part | a flush writes a new version | `do_flush` → `merge_insert` | +| **MergeTree background merges** | `Dataset::optimize` family | `compact_files` (`background_optimizer.rs` ~L145) | +| `async_insert` server-side buffering | the **flusher** (memtable + tick/size triggers) | `flusher_loop` + `FlusherConfig` (~L48) | +| lightweight `DELETE` → `_row_exists=0` mask | **tombstone row** + `tombstone = false` filter | `build_tombstone_batch_lance`, read predicates | +| merge materialises the mask (drops `_row_exists=0` rows) | compaction reclaims tombstone rows | §7 (ROADMAP) | +| **"too many parts"** error | **"too many Lance versions"** | invariant 2 | +| `min_insert_block_size_rows/_bytes` | flusher `max_pending_rows` (+ byte trigger, Phase 1) | `FlusherConfig` | +| sequence/mutation version | `version` column + `generation` | §5 | + +### 4.2 The "≤1 insert/sec, don't out-run merges" discipline + +ClickHouse's single most repeated operational rule is: **do not insert +faster than the background merges can keep up**, or parts accumulate +unboundedly and the server throws "too many parts". The standard remedy is +to batch inserts to ~1/sec (or use `async_insert` to let the server batch +for you). + +The Lance-side translation is exact: **each flush is a version, each +version needs the optimizer to eventually compact it; if the flusher fires +faster than `background_optimizer` can `compact_files`, versions +accumulate** — the "too many versions" failure mode (invariant 2). The +async_insert analogue is already built (the flusher *is* server-side +buffering). What is **missing** is the *floor*: today `FlusherConfig` is +`{ tick_interval: 100ms, max_pending_rows: 1000 }` (`flusher.rs` ~L48–L66) +— there is a 100 ms latency *ceiling* and a row-count *ceiling*, but **no +minimum batch size / flush-rate floor**, so a steady trickle of one-row +commits emits a version every 100 ms regardless of how little data +accrued. Phase 1 (§8, being coded now) adds the byte-size trigger + a +flush-rate floor so the flusher coalesces aggressively under light load +and only races to flush under genuine pressure — the ClickHouse +`async_insert` *buffer* discipline, made adaptive. + +### 4.3 Where the analogy breaks down (be honest) + +- **`merge_insert` is an upsert, not a blind append.** ClickHouse parts + are append-only blocks; duplicate-key resolution is deferred to + `ReplacingMergeTree` merges or `FINAL`. `kv-lance` resolves duplicates + **at flush time** via the keyed `merge_insert` — a memtable snapshot has + unique keys, so there is never a "two live rows for one key, reconciled + later" window. This is *stronger* than vanilla MergeTree (closer to + `ReplacingMergeTree` applied eagerly), at the cost of a + read-modify-write on the `key` column during flush. + +- **One dataset, not a part-per-block free-for-all.** A ClickHouse table + is physically many parts; a `kv-lance` Datastore is **one** Lance + dataset whose history is a linear version chain. There is no merge-key + fan-out across independent parts; the "merge" is fragment compaction + within one dataset. + +- **No columnar query acceleration yet.** ClickHouse's whole point is + vectorised columnar *scans*. `kv-lance` stores **opaque binary** + `key`/`val` (`schema.rs` ~L42) — it is a *KV store on a columnar + substrate*, not a columnar analytics engine. Column pruning on typed + sub-columns is a documented future extension (`schema.rs` ~L25), not a + current capability. The parity is on the **write/merge** side, not the + read/scan side. + +- **Lance MVCC is OCC, not MVCC-on-parts.** Concurrent Lance commits use + optimistic concurrency with retry; the `CommitGate` exists precisely to + *collapse* concurrent commits into one so the OCC retry cascade does not + fire (`commit_gate.rs` header, ~L26–L51). ClickHouse has no per-row OCC; + its concurrency story is part-level and merge-level. + +--- + +## 5. The commit-sequence (seqno) keystone + +This is the deepest design point in the document. **Today the `version` +column cannot tell two coalesced transactions apart**, and the fix is a +per-row monotonic `seq`. + +### 5.1 `version` is batch/flush-granular, not commit-granular + +Trace where `version` is stamped: + +- **Gate path:** the `CommitGate` stamps `max_version` across the whole + batch onto *every* row in the merged `RecordBatch` + (`execute_batch` ~L305 → `single_lance_commit(..., max_version)`), where + each submitter's `version = read_version + 1` (`commit_legacy_gate` + ~L990). So N transactions coalesced into one batch all receive the + **same** stamp. + +- **LSM path:** the flusher stamps the flush's `up_to_gen` onto every row + of the flush (`do_flush` → `single_lance_commit(..., up_to_gen)`, + `flusher.rs` ~L232). So every commit folded into one flush shares the + **same** stamp. + +In both paths, `version` is minted **per physical unit** (per batch / per +flush), which is exactly why it "mirrors physical Lance-version +granularity." That is *correct* for indexing a Lance manifest version, but +it has a hard limitation: + +> **`version` cannot distinguish individual transactions that were +> coalesced into one batch/flush.** If transactions T1, T2, T3 land in one +> flush, they are indistinguishable in storage — all stamped with the same +> `version`. The `Memtable::generation` counter (`AtomicU64`, ~L67) *is* +> minted once per `commit_lsm` (~L941) and *is* per-transaction-monotonic +> — but it lives only in the WAL record and the in-memory entry; **it is +> never written to a Lance column.** It is consumed as a flush *boundary*, +> then discarded. + +### 5.2 Why this costs replay/timeline fidelity + +The `Timeline` surface (§3.3) walks `Dataset::versions()` and lets a +consumer `view_at(v)` each version. With flush-granular `version`, the +finest timeline resolution a replayer can reconstruct is **one entry per +flush**, not one per commit. For the Rubicon kanban — which wants *each* +commit/plan/prune as a distinct timeline entry — this forces the +`LegacyCommitGate` path (1 commit = 1 Lance version) and **forbids the +throughput win of LSM coalescing** (EPIPHANIES 2026-05-30, "timeline +granularity = write-path-dependent"). You cannot have both +high-throughput coalescing *and* per-commit replay fidelity. That coupling +is the problem. + +### 5.3 The fix: a per-row monotonic `seq` (RocksDB sequence number) + +Add a `seq: UInt64` column — the direct analogue of **RocksDB's per-write +sequence number** — minted **once per transaction** (the `generation` +already minted in `commit_lsm`), threaded through the WAL record into the +flush batch builders, and written to its own column. Then: + +- **`version`** keeps mirroring physical Lance-version granularity (the + manifest checkpoint index). Unchanged. +- **`seq`** carries logical commit granularity, **decoupled** from + physical batching. + +Now throughput tuning (bigger flushes, more coalescing) **never** degrades +timeline/replay fidelity: a replayer reconstructs per-commit history by +ordering on `seq`, *regardless* of how many commits shared a flush. The +`mvcc_source.rs::MvccSource` trait (`LocalGeneratedMvcc`, an `AtomicU64` +starting at 1, ~L89) is the natural home for the `seq` allocator — it +already exists as the pluggable monotonic-counter abstraction (and is +forward-designed for distributed HLC sources, ~L13–L18). This is the same +"monotonic counter is the MVCC spine, decoupled from physical files" of +invariant 4, made literal. + +### 5.4 The threading challenge (honest) + +This is **not** a trivial column add. The `seq` must survive **two +coalescing stages** without losing per-transaction identity: + +1. **The gate's BUNDLE coalescing.** `execute_batch` (`commit_gate.rs` + ~L291) currently merges N submissions into a `HashMap` that + **collapses by key** and keeps only `max_version`. A per-row `seq` that + survives coalescing means: when two submissions in one batch touch the + **same key**, the winner's `seq` must be carried (last-writer-wins, + matching `MergeMode::Bundle`); when they touch **different keys**, each + row keeps **its own** `seq`. The merged map's value type must grow from + `Op` to `(Op, seq)`, and the partition step (~L318) must thread `seq` + into the batch builder per row — not one scalar for the whole batch. + +2. **The batch builders.** `build_write_batch_lance` / + `build_tombstone_batch_lance` (`mod.rs` ~L999/~L1047) currently take a + single scalar `version` and broadcast it across all rows + (`UInt64Array::from(vec![version; n])`). To carry `seq`, they need a + **per-row** `seq` array (one `seq` per `(key,val)`), i.e. the signature + grows from `(&[(Key,Val)], version)` to a form carrying a parallel + `&[u64]` seq slice. The flusher's `snapshot_up_to` already returns + per-entry `generation` (`memtable.rs` ~L137) — the value is + *available*; it just is not currently propagated into the Arrow batch. + +Both stages are **additive** (new column, widened *internal* builder +signatures — the public `Transactable` trait is untouched) and stay within +the stable Lance contract (it is just another `UInt64` column in the +`merge_insert` source). The hard part is purely the internal plumbing of +per-row identity through the two coalescing points — not any Lance API +limitation. Marked **ROADMAP** (Phase 2, §8). + +--- + +## 6. The SoA / gridlake alignment + +### 6.1 The transpose tax (established) + +Today the ingest side is **row-oriented** and the storage side is +**columnar**, and the seam between them pays a tax on every flush: + +- **Memtable is row-oriented.** `DashMap` — one heap + entry per key, each holding an owned `Val` (`memtable.rs` ~L61). +- **WAL is row-oriented.** `WalRecord { ops: Vec }` — a vector of + per-key `Set`/`Delete` enums, CBOR-encoded (`wal.rs` ~L69–L79). +- **Storage is columnar.** Lance/Arrow `RecordBatch` — four contiguous + typed arrays (`key`, `val`, `version`, `tombstone`). + +So `do_flush` performs a **row→column transpose** on every flush: it walks +the snapshot row-by-row, pushing into `Vec<(Key,Val)>` and `Vec` +(`flusher.rs` ~L218–L227), which `build_write_batch_lance` then transposes +into columnar Arrow arrays by `.collect()`-ing iterators +(`mod.rs` ~L1017–L1022). Every byte committed is copied **twice** (into the +memtable, then into the Arrow batch) and **transposed once**. + +### 6.2 The fix: make the memtable + WAL themselves SoA (CONJECTURE) + +The "gridlake" alignment: make the in-memory buffer **already columnar**, +so the flush is a transcode-free concat + one upsert. The mental model: + +```text + "SoA as container" = Arrow RecordBatch (the columnar unit) + "stacked batches" = the memtable (a Vec, append-only) + "lake" = the Lance dataset (the durable columnar store) + "time axis" = the version history (Timeline) +``` + +Concretely: + +- The memtable becomes **a stack of small Arrow `RecordBatch`es** (one per + commit, or per small group), each in the *exact* on-disk KV schema + (`key`, `val`, `version`/`seq`, `tombstone`). +- The WAL stores those same `RecordBatch`es (Arrow IPC framing instead of + CBOR `WalOp`), so replay rebuilds the batch stack directly. +- **Flush = `concat_batches(stack)` + one `merge_insert`** — *no + row→column transpose*, exactly ClickHouse's "build the part in memory, + then hand the assembled block to storage" model. The batches are already + in storage layout; concatenation is a buffer splice, not a transpose. +- Read-your-writes keeps a small **`Key → (batch_idx, row_idx)` overlay** + so `get`/`scan_range` still answer in O(1)/range without scanning the + batch stack linearly. This overlay is the *only* row-oriented structure + that survives — and it holds indices, not values. + +**Benefits:** one fewer copy and zero transpose per flush; the memtable's +memory footprint is Arrow-contiguous (better cache behaviour, and a +trivially-measurable `bytes` for the Phase 1 byte trigger); the WAL record +is the *same bytes* the flush will write. + +**Costs / open questions (honest):** +- Small per-commit `RecordBatch`es carry Arrow per-array overhead; very + small commits may want a row-staging area that is *promoted* to a batch + at a threshold (a two-tier memtable). (CONJECTURE — needs benchmarking.) +- Last-write-wins across batches moves from "DashMap overwrite" to "overlay + points at the newest `(batch,row)`" — the overlay must be updated on + every write and consulted on every read; correctness parity with + `Memtable::insert`'s generation check (~L90) must be preserved. +- Range scans (`scan_range`, ~L112) over a batch stack need either the + overlay to be ordered (BTree) or a merge across batches. + +This is the largest structural change and is gated behind a new +`WritePath` variant so the row-oriented path stays the default until the +columnar path is benchmarked at parity. Marked **ROADMAP** (Phase 3, §8). + +--- + +## 7. Compaction GC + +### 7.1 The accumulation (established) + +The codex P1 fix (§3.1) traded immediate space reclamation for atomicity: +the old path's separate `Dataset::delete` physically removed rows at delete +time; the tombstone-row path leaves **one dead row per created-then-deleted +key** in the dataset until something reclaims it (EPIPHANIES 2026-05-30, +"trade-off accepted"). Under a create/delete-heavy workload, tombstone rows +accumulate monotonically. They are *correct* (filtered by `tombstone = +false` on every read) but they bloat scans and storage. + +### 7.2 The proposal: optimizer materialises the mask (ROADMAP) + +The fix is exactly invariant 5 + invariant 3: **let the one GC (compaction) +reclaim the logical markers.** Today `background_optimizer.rs` runs +`compact_files` (fragment reshape) + `cleanup_old_versions` (version +pruning) (~L145/~L196) — it does **not** yet act on tombstone rows. + +**Proposed extension:** the optimizer, on its cycle, converts tombstone +rows **older than the retention horizon** into a Lance **deletion-vector +compaction** — physically dropping both the tombstone row and the live row +it shadows, via `Dataset::delete` on a predicate like `tombstone = true AND +version < ` (then compacting the resulting deletion vectors). This +is the **direct analogue of a ClickHouse merge materialising the +`_row_exists` mask** — the mask (tombstone) is logical until a merge +(compaction) makes it physical (invariant 3 + the §4.1 row). + +Why gate on a *retention horizon* (not eager): time-travel reads +(`get(key, Some(v))`, `TimelineView`) must still see the tombstone for +versions within the retention window — a delete recorded at version `v` +must read as absent when viewing `v`, which requires the tombstone row to +exist at `v`. So the GC may only reclaim tombstones older than +`LANCE_VERSION_RETENTION_SECS` (`cnf.rs` ~L40), matching the version-prune +horizon. This keeps the two GC sweeps (version prune + tombstone reclaim) +on the **same** frontier — one consistent reclamation horizon. (CONJECTURE +on the exact predicate; the *principle* — reclaim at compaction, bounded by +retention — is established by invariants 3 and 5.) + +--- + +## 8. Phased roadmap + +Each phase carries an explicit status tag. **Audited against the tree at +the time of writing** (sibling CODE agent started Phase 1/2/3 at +2026-05-30T07:33Z; see `GRIDLAKE_BUILD.md`). + +### Phase 1 — ClickHouse-parity adaptive batching + WAL/ACID durability test +**Status: ROADMAP → IN PROGRESS (CODE agent, this session).** + +As-built today: `FlusherConfig { tick_interval: 100ms, max_pending_rows: +1000 }` (`flusher.rs` ~L48) gives a latency *ceiling* and a row-count +*ceiling* — but **no byte-size trigger and no flush-rate floor**, so a +trickle of tiny commits emits a version every 100 ms (the "too many +versions" exposure, §4.2). The WAL/ACID side already has `lsm_recovery_*` +tests (`tests.rs` ~L1391/~L1459) proving the WAL alone recovers acked +writes + delete tombstones across a simulated crash. + +Phase 1 work (in flight): +- **Adaptive batching:** add a **byte-size** trigger and a **flush-rate + floor / minimum batch** to `FlusherConfig` so the flusher coalesces under + light load (≈ClickHouse `async_insert` buffering / + `min_insert_block_size_*`) and only races under genuine pressure. Add the + byte accounting (`key.len()+val.len()`, the same metric `scan_impl` + already uses for `ScanLimit::Bytes`, ~L1272). +- **WAL/ACID durability proof:** extend the recovery tests into an explicit + adaptive-batching durability test (acked-commit survival under the new + triggers). + +> **Audit note (re-tag on landing).** As of writing, `FlusherConfig` still +> has only the two fields above — Phase 1 is **not yet committed**.

Decouples logical commit/replay granularity from physical +batching (§5). Additive; stays within the stable Lance contract. The +threading through `execute_batch`'s key-collapse and the +`build_*_batch_lance` per-row arrays is the real work (§5.4). + +### Phase 3 — Columnar / SoA memtable behind a `WritePath` variant +**Status: ROADMAP.** + +Make the memtable + WAL natively Arrow `RecordBatch`es; flush = +`concat_batches` + one `merge_insert`, transpose-free (§6). New `WritePath` +variant (e.g. `LsmColumnar`) so the row-oriented path stays default until +benchmarked at parity. Keep a `Key → (batch,row)` overlay for +read-your-writes. + +### Phase 4 — Compaction GC + version backpressure +**Status: ROADMAP.** + +- **Tombstone GC:** optimizer reclaims tombstone rows older than the + retention horizon via deletion-vector compaction (§7). +- **Version backpressure:** close the ClickHouse "don't out-run merges" + loop — if the optimizer falls behind (version count over a high-water + mark), apply backpressure to the flusher (lengthen `tick_interval` / + raise the min-batch floor) so ingest cannot create versions faster than + compaction reclaims them.

Reads layer `Lance < memtable < +pending`; deletes are tombstone rows filtered by `tombstone = false`; +isolation comes free from immutable `checkout_version` snapshots (strict on +the gate path, read-committed on the LSM path), and the WAL truncates +against the Lance manifest as its checkpoint. The system is the same +ingest→migrate→compact machine as ClickHouse (parts↔versions, +async_insert↔flusher, lightweight-DELETE-mask↔tombstones, MergeTree +merges↔`Dataset::optimize`), and the roadmap closes the four remaining +gaps: adaptive batching with a flush-rate floor (Phase 1, in progress), a +per-row `seq` that decouples replay granularity from physical batching +(Phase 2), a transpose-free columnar/SoA memtable (Phase 3), and +compaction-driven tombstone GC with version backpressure (Phase 4) — all +additive, all on stable Rust and the narrow stable Lance contract.

Fixes applied: - BLOCKER: add `Datastore::max_persisted_seq` (tolerant `seq`-column scan; 0 for empty/legacy datasets) and seed `commit_seq` from it at open; replayed WAL records mint above that floor. - Upgrade the `debug_assert_eq!` seqs/rows length guards in both batch builders to real `ArrowError` checks (enforced in release too). - Add a `flusher_tick_interval` LanceConfig knob and use it to make the seq-coalescing test deterministic (was timing-fragile on slow disks). - NITs: align the re-loop nudge to `>=`; correct the flusher floor-gating module doc; refresh the stale `KvSchema::build_write_batch` doc. - Tests: +`seq_survives_restart_above_persisted_max` (fails on the old code, proves the fix), +`seq_column_gate_path_equals_version`, +`scan_versions_for_tests` helper. Documented (accepted, pre-release) limitations the savants surfaced are recorded in .claude/board/EPIPHANIES.md (pre-`seq` schema migration; WAL reseq on replay; gate-path seq=version; seq/generation two-atomic ordering).

So a mismatch is still *caught* (as an opaque error, not corruption), but the clear contract message only exists in test/debug. Production callers (do_flush, execute_batch) build the slices in lockstep so it cannot actually fire. — Optional: keep the debug_assert AND add an explicit `if writes.len()!=seqs.len() { return Err(ArrowError::InvalidArgumentError(..)) }` for a self-describing release error, or leave as-is (low value). Not a blocker. + +[S3] MINOR tests.rs (P1/P3 suite) — No test exercises the empty-batch or seqs-length-mismatch builder paths, and no test asserts the LegacyCommitGate stamps `seq == max_version`. — The seq-column behavior on the gate path (commit_gate.rs:330) and the builders' parallel-vec contract are unverified by tests; only the LSM path's seq threading is covered. — Add a small test that builds via the gate (WritePath::LegacyCommitGate) and asserts scanned seq == version, plus a builder test with empty inputs. Low priority; production correctness is unaffected. + +[S3] NIT flusher.rs:226-239 (`should_flush`) — Doc says row threshold is "crossed (>= max_pending_rows)" and the impl uses `>=`, but the loop's prior behavior (old `memtable.len() > config.max_pending_rows`, flusher.rs:202 pre-diff) used strict `>`. The re-loop nudge at flusher.rs:251 still uses `>`. — Harmless off-by-one in threshold semantics (`>=` vs `>`): with default 1000 the flush now triggers at exactly 1000 pending rows rather than 1001. The doc and code agree, so this is intentional, but the nudge-vs-trigger asymmetry (`>` at :251 vs `>=` at :237) is a slight inconsistency. — Optionally align the re-loop nudge to `>=` for symmetry. Cosmetic. + +[S3] NIT schema.rs:74 — Doc comment on `KvSchema::build_write_batch` still reads "Used by `Transaction::commit` to materialise pending writes into a single Lance append-batch", but the live commit path uses `Transaction::build_write_batch_lance` via `single_lance_commit`; the KvSchema helper is now only referenced from schema.rs's own #[cfg(test)] module. — Pre-existing stale doc, not introduced by this diff, but the diff touched this fn (added seq default) without correcting it. — Update the doc to note it is a schema-helper/test utility, or wire it in.

Additive & stable-only: no breaking signature leaks (all pub(super) callers updated), no new deps, no nightly, web_time honored, errors propagated. Production seq-threading (LSM) is correct and well-tested; the coalescing test is non-flaky because a 1-row notify_pending cannot pass `should_flush` (periodic=false needs a threshold cross) and back-to-back commits finish well under the 100ms tick, so shutdown's final drain yields exactly one version. Tombstone/merge_insert collapses to a single row (UpdateAll on key) so the seq assertions hold. Findings are non-blocking polish. +## [S1] Review concurrency / ACID / sequence+recovery correctness (2026-05-30) + +[S1] BLOCKER mod.rs:321 commit_seq is re-initialised to AtomicU64::new(0) on EVERY Datastore::new and seeded only by counting replayed (un-flushed) WAL records (mod.rs:328-348); it is NEVER advanced past the max seq already PERSISTED in Lance, although the sibling generation counter IS advanced past max_replayed_gen (mod.rs:358-360). After any restart where the WAL was truncated (rows already flushed), commit_seq restarts from 0 and re-mints seq=1,2,3 which COLLIDE with and REGRESS BELOW the seqs (1..M) already written to Lance in the prior lifetime. The seq column's sole promised property a globally monotonic, per-commit-distinct sequence enabling order-on-seq replay (GRIDLAKE.md 5.3) is therefore BROKEN across restarts: seqs are neither unique nor monotonic over the dataset lifetime. The doc comment ("exact pre-crash seq values are not recovered") understates this: it is lost monotonicity + cross-lifetime duplicates, defeating the column's reason to exist. Fix: on open, scan Lance for MAX(seq) and initialise commit_seq to max(max_persisted_seq, replayed_count) (re-mint replayed records ABOVE that floor); or persist the per-commit seq in WalRecord and recover it on replay. + +[S1] MAJOR mod.rs:331 (+218-224 schema) WAL replay assigns a FRESH seq (commit_seq.fetch_add..+1, restarting from 0) to each replayed record, bearing NO relation to that record's original seq, AND the replayed seqs collide with seqs already flushed to Lance (see BLOCKER). Even restricting to the un-flushed tail: if commits 1..5 were flushed (Lance seq 1..5) and commits 6..8 remain in the WAL, replay stamps them seq 1,2,3 interleaving with the persisted 1..5. Post-crash recovery thus renumbers seqs inconsistently with the data already in Lance, so the per-commit replay guarantee does not survive a crash. Fix: same as BLOCKER seed from persisted max and/or persist seq in the WAL. + +[S1] MAJOR mod.rs:218-224 / schema.rs:62 The non-nullable seq column was added to the create-schema and both batch builders, but there is NO schema-migration path for an EXISTING on-disk Lance dataset created before this change (4 columns, no seq). LanceDataset::open (mod.rs:204) loads the old 4-col dataset; the first flush then runs a 5-col merge_insert (source carries non-null seq) against a 4-col target which Lance rejects (schema mismatch), wedging all writes on a pre-existing dataset. No test catches this because every test uses a fresh unique_tmp_path (always 5-col). Acceptable ONLY because the backend is explicitly pre-stable (Sprint II+ deferrals, no on-disk-format guarantee yet); still a real upgrade hazard. Fix: detect a missing seq column on open and add_columns (backfill seq := version) before first flush, or document the format break + bump an on-disk schema version. + +[S1] MINOR mod.rs:1019-1023 generation and seq are minted from two SEPARATE atomics in commit_lsm (next_generation() then commit_seq.fetch_add), not atomically together. Under concurrent commits, tx A can take gen=5 then be preempted while tx B takes gen=6 AND its seq, leaving A with a HIGHER seq than B despite a LOWER generation i.e. seq order can disagree with commit/generation order across concurrent transactions. Per-row uniqueness still holds, and reads never consult seq (get/scan_impl project only key/val), so visibility is unaffected today; but a future replayer ordering on seq (the column's whole purpose, 5.3) would reconstruct concurrent commits in the wrong order. Fix: derive seq from generation (e.g. seq = generation) so the two cannot diverge, or mint both under one critical section. The memtable race-winner path itself is CORRECT: insert_with_seq updates seq together with generation only when generation > existing.generation, so the winning row always carries the true last-writer's seq (verified memtable.rs:113-124). + +[S1] MINOR commit_gate.rs:327-333 On the LegacyCommitGate path every row is stamped seq = max_version (identical to version), so seq carries ZERO information beyond version on that path it does not survive the gate's BUNDLE key-collapse with per-commit identity (the threading work GRIDLAKE.md 5.4 calls out is not done; the gate just broadcasts the batch scalar). The column's advertised benefit (decoupling commit granularity from physical batching) is realised ONLY on the LSM path; on the gate path it is pure storage overhead and contradicts the doc's framing that seq universally provides per-commit replay fidelity. Fix: thread real per-submission seqs through execute_batch's merged map (value type Op to (Op, seq)), or document that per-commit seq fidelity is an LSM-path-only property. + +[S1] MINOR tests.rs:1604 (seq_column_is_per_commit_monotonic_and_survives_coalescing) The coalescing guarantee actually rests on the row/byte THRESHOLD (a sub-max_pending_rows memtable is only flushed by a periodic 100ms tick or shutdown), NOT on "no .await that yields to the flusher" as the comment (tests.rs:1620-1624) claims there ARE several await points (transaction/set/commit) at which the current-thread runtime can schedule the flusher. The test is sound only while the two commits + shutdown complete within one 100ms tick_interval; on a slow CI disk two fsyncs could exceed 100ms, letting a periodic tick flush commit A alone -> 2 versions -> the v_after - v_before == 1 assertion fails. Low-probability flake + a rationale that mis-states why coalescing holds. Fix: set tick_interval very large (or min_flush_interval >= tick) in this test's LanceConfig so only the shutdown drain flushes, making coalescing deterministic; correct the comment to cite the threshold, not yield-timing. + +[S1] MINOR tests.rs:1523 (lsm_recovery_atomic_multi_op_batch) The test proves the all-PRESENT half of atomicity (2 inserts + 1 delete from one multi-op WalRecord all visible post-recovery) but NOT the nothing half (a torn/partial record being rejected wholesale). It never constructs a partially-written record, so all-or-nothing is only half-demonstrated here; the torn-tail rejection lives in wal.rs replay tests, uncited. The name "atomic all-or-nothing" overclaims relative to what is asserted. Fix: rename to reflect "multi-op record replays together", or add a sibling asserting a truncated record tail is dropped (cross-referencing the wal.rs corruption tests). + +[S1] NIT flusher.rs:277-282 vs module doc 28-36 should_flush checks the rate floor FIRST and returns false before the periodic-OR branch, so a periodic tick_interval flush IS gated by min_flush_interval too. The module doc ("The periodic tick_interval already paces timer flushes; the rate floor additionally caps row/byte-triggered flushes") implies periodic is NOT floor-gated doc/code mismatch. No starvation results because the flusher_config_defaults_are_sensible invariant min_flush_interval <= tick_interval (flusher.rs:421-424) guarantees a later tick always clears the floor (bounded delay = min_flush_interval, never indefinite), and the shutdown drain bypasses the floor (verified flusher.rs:198-202). Fix: reword the doc to state the floor gates ALL trigger-driven flushes including periodic ticks, and that the min_flush_interval <= tick_interval invariant is what bounds the delay. + +[S1] DONE 1 BLOCKER, 3 MAJOR, 4 MINOR, 1 NIT seq column's core promise (cross-restart monotonic per-commit ordering) is broken: commit_seq resets to 0 each open and is never seeded from persisted Lance max, so post-restart seqs collide with/regress below flushed seqs; plus a non-nullable-column schema-migration gap. The rate-floor/adaptive-batching logic and the per-row memtable race-winner seq handling are correct; the new tests are directionally right but under-assert (atomicity tests only the commit half; coalescing test is timing-fragile). diff --git a/surrealdb/core/src/kvs/config.rs b/surrealdb/core/src/kvs/config.rs index 6f1b6b073bac..a79e56a4ef87 100644 --- a/surrealdb/core/src/kvs/config.rs +++ b/surrealdb/core/src/kvs/config.rs @@ -356,6 +356,13 @@ pub struct LanceConfig { /// Ignored when `write_path == LegacyCommitGate` (the gate path /// has no flusher). pub disable_background_flusher: bool, + + /// Override the background flusher's periodic tick interval. `None` + /// uses the default (100 ms).
