This PR

  • Updates the fractional targeting evaluation logic in flagd-core to adhere to the hashing consistency ADR.
  • Adds com.upokecenter:cbor dependency (v4.5.6) to serialize bucketing keys (flag key, targeting key, primitives, maps, and lists) to canonical CBOR format before MurmurHash3 (32-bit x86) hashing.
  • Implements canonical CBOR sorting (KEY_COMPARATOR) for map keys based on byte length and lexicographical byte order.
  • Updates test-harness submodules in both providers/flagd and tools/flagd-api-testkit to commit 82ba89e.
  • Enhances E2E test step definitions (ContextSteps, ConfigSteps, EvaluationSteps, Utils) with DataTable context key support, improved type conversions (handling null strings, fallback from Integer to Long), and error reason handling.
  • Updates FlagdProviderSyncResources to properly reset isInitialized on fatal errors and shutdowns.
  • Updates test expectations, exclusion tags (fractional-v1 -> fractional-v2), and test fixture JSONs (selfContainedFractional0.json, string.json) to reflect the new hashing results.

Related Issues

Fixes #1662

Notes

  • Fixture test values were updated to match the deterministic hashes produced by canonical CBOR + MurmurHash3.

Follow-up Tasks

  • For all new Gherkin tests to run properly, Java needs to add Long support, as discussed on slack.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates flagd fractional evaluation to support structured hash inputs and canonical CBOR hashing. It expands typed Cucumber context input, clarifies null and error handling, changes provider lifecycle state behavior, and updates storage defaults and test references.

Changes

flagd evaluation and test compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Structured fractional hashing
tools/flagd-core/pom.xml, tools/flagd-core/src/main/java/.../Fractional.java
Fractional evaluation accepts non-string bucket values, parses distributions with updated error handling, and hashes canonical CBOR representations with deterministic object-key ordering.
Fractional evaluation expectations
tools/flagd-core/src/test/java/.../targeting/*, tools/flagd-core/src/test/java/.../e2e/*, tools/flagd-core/src/test/resources/fractional/*
Tests and fixtures update fractional results, missing-key behavior, and excluded compliance tags.
Typed context input
providers/flagd/src/test/java/.../e2e/steps/ContextSteps.java, providers/flagd/src/test/java/.../e2e/steps/Utils.java, tools/flagd-api-testkit/src/main/java/.../ContextSteps.java
Cucumber steps accept regex parameters and multiple typed context entries from DataTable input while preserving existing context values.
Null and evaluation error handling
tools/flagd-api-testkit/src/main/java/.../EvaluationSteps.java, tools/flagd-api-testkit/src/main/java/.../EvaluatorUtils.java, providers/flagd/src/test/java/.../e2e/steps/config/ConfigSteps.java
Converters distinguish Null, Java null, and the string "null". Error evaluations use reason "ERROR" and default values when no evaluation value exists.
Provider lifecycle state transitions
providers/flagd/src/main/java/.../FlagdProviderSyncResources.java, providers/flagd/src/test/java/.../FlagdProviderSyncResourcesCTest.java
The generated fatal-state setter is removed. shutdown() and fatalError(...) no longer reset initialization. Lifecycle tests call fatalError(null).
Storage defaults and test harness alignment
providers/flagd/src/main/java/.../resolver/process/storage/StorageStateChange.java, providers/flagd/src/main/java/.../Config.java, tools/flagd-api-testkit/test-harness
Storage state uses immutable defaults for null inputs. The stream retry grace period and test-harness reference are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 61de1

The PR changes fractional targeting hashes, but explicit null keys and very large integer values may still produce inconsistent bucketing across providers, potentially assigning users to different variants. A localized event-data mutation issue also needs follow-up, so the PR is not fully merge-ready until the hashing risks are addressed or explicitly accepted.

In
`@providers/flagd/src/main/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/FlagdProviderSyncResources.java`:
- Around line 117-120: Update the fatal-error cleanup flow across
FlagdProviderSyncResources.fatalError and FlagdProvider.shutdown so shutdown
still executes after fatalError marks the provider fatal, rather than returning
solely because isInitialized is false. Use an appropriate cleanup-state check or
adjust the shutdown contract while preserving normal shutdown behavior, and add
a regression test covering a fatal error after initialization that verifies
resolver and executor cleanup and the shut-down state.

In
`@providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/steps/Utils.java`:
- Around line 18-19: Update the type-conversion logic in Utils to check value ==
null before evaluating the "Null" type or the string "null" sentinel, returning
null immediately for actual null inputs. Preserve the existing sentinel behavior
for non-String types and leave the remaining type conversion unchanged.

In `@providers/flagd/test-harness`:
- Line 1: Replace the orphaned providers/flagd/test-harness gitlink commit with
a valid commit reachable from the configured OpenFeature test-harness/repos, or
migrate the flagd E2E step definitions according to the documented spec-based
Gherkin test approach. Do not leave the test-harness reference pointing to the
unreachable commit.

In
`@tools/flagd-api-testkit/src/main/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/tools/flagd/api/testkit/EvaluatorUtils.java`:
- Around line 25-28: Update the convert method’s Javadoc to document the Null
type and accurately describe null handling: the literal "null" remains the
string value for String, while an empty Object value produces an empty object
rather than null.

In
`@tools/flagd-core/src/main/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/tools/flagd/core/targeting/Fractional.java`:
- Around line 51-57: Update the argument classification in Fractional so a
pre-evaluated List bucket key is accepted alongside primitive, Map, and other
supported values, while preserving the distinction from a distribution list.
Ensure list keys are assigned to bucketBy and only the remaining arguments are
treated as distributions, consistent with convertNode’s CBOR array support.
- Around line 60-65: Update Fractional’s missing fallback targeting-key branch
to return or propagate a GeneralError instead of null, matching the expected
evaluation outcome in FractionalTest.missingBucketKeyReturnsNull. Replace the
current null-return behavior while preserving the existing debug logging and
targeting-key validation.
- Around line 185-193: Update the non-integral-number branch in Fractional’s
numeric encoding so whole-valued doubles, including 1.0 and -0.0, remain encoded
with CBORObject.FromObject(double) rather than being converted to long; retain
integral JSON-number handling, and add fractional bucketing coverage for 1, 1.0,
and -0.0.

Java OpenFeature flagd e2e Utils.java Null value type conversion providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/steps/Utils.java

💡 Result:

The file providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/steps/Utils.java in the java-sdk-contrib repository is part of the end-to-end (e2e) test infrastructure for the flagd Java provider [1][2]. These tests utilize Gherkin scenarios to verify correct provider behavior, including type handling and evaluation consistency [3][4]. Regarding null value type conversion and error handling in flagd: 1. Consistency Initiatives: There has been an ongoing effort to standardize how flagd SDKs, including the Java implementation, handle errors and null values during evaluation [5][6]. Specifically, it has been established that custom operators and targeting rules should return null (or the language equivalent) when encountering invalid inputs, parse failures, or error conditions, rather than returning false or throwing exceptions [5][6]. 2. Evaluation Impact: In the Java SDK, returning null from a targeting rule effectively triggers a fallback to the default variant [5][6]. This behavior ensures that evaluations remain robust when encountering malformed targeting logic or edge cases (e.g., in custom operators like fractional or sem_ver) [5]. 3. Null in Targeting Rules: When a targeting rule evaluates to null and no defaultValue is specified, the provider is expected to revert to the code-defined default [7]. Recent development efforts have addressed issues where such evaluations might fail to correctly set the reason or value, ensuring that null propagation correctly triggers the fallback mechanism as intended by the OpenFeature specification [7]. The Utils.java file and related e2e test steps are used to validate these behaviors by simulating various targeting scenarios and asserting that the outcomes—including null-induced fallbacks—match expected results defined in the test harness [2][4].

openfeature/java-sdk-contrib tools/flagd-api-testkit/src/main/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/tools/flagd/api/testkit/EvaluatorUtils.java value == null

💡 Result:

The class EvaluatorUtils in the open-feature/java-sdk-contrib repository is part of the flagd-api-testkit toolset [1][2][3]. While specific code details regarding a null check on value are not explicitly documented in high-level summaries, the project frequently addresses null pointer exceptions (NPEs) and null handling across its tools and providers to ensure robustness in flag evaluation [4][5][6]. Recent updates in the flagd-related modules have focused on: - Improving null safety: Defensive null checks have been added to prevent NPEs in various evaluation contexts, such as when handling flag metadata [4][5]. - Consistent evaluation: Changes have been made to evaluation logic, such as treating DISABLED flags as successful evaluations [3][7] and fixing custom operator conformance edge cases that previously returned null on errors [6]. If you are investigating a specific null value behavior in EvaluatorUtils.java, it is likely related to these broader efforts to standardize how missing metadata, disabled flags, or evaluation errors are handled within the OpenFeature flagd ecosystem. For the most accurate technical analysis of the code at its current state, please refer to the source file directly on the main branch of the repository [8].

💡 Result:

The file Utils.java located in providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/steps/ is a helper class used within the end-to-end (E2E) testing suite for the OpenFeature flagd Java provider [1][2]. These E2E tests are based on the Gherkin feature files provided by the OpenFeature specification and rely on the flagd-testbed as a submodule to orchestrate the flagd environment (e.g., managing containers, dynamic flag updates) [3]. The Utils.java class typically provides common functionality required by the Cucumber step definitions, such as: 1. Interaction with the test-harness: Handling communication with the flagd instances or the launchpad utility [3]. 2. State Management: Assisting in managing the state of the OpenFeature API, such as setting or resetting the provider between test scenarios [4]. 3. Environment/Context Helpers: Providing utilities for configuring or retrieving context-specific information needed for flag evaluations within the E2E tests [5]. Recent changes to the E2E infrastructure in the java-sdk-contrib repository, including performance optimizations like a pre-warmed container pool, have updated how these tests execute in parallel [4]. Consequently, utility classes like Utils.java are essential for ensuring that test resources, such as container connections or OpenFeature SDK states, are handled safely and consistently across concurrent test executions [4].

The file located at providers/flagd/src/test/java/dev/openfeature/contrib/providers/flagd/e2e/steps/Utils.java is part of the flagd provider test suite within the open-feature/java-sdk-contrib repository [1][2]. This utility class typically contains helper methods used for end-to-end (e2e) testing of the flagd provider [3][2]. Recent development in the java-sdk-contrib repository has involved significant architectural changes to these e2e tests to support parallel execution and performance improvements [4]. Specifically, the repository utilizes Cucumber for its e2e testing, and utility classes like this are instrumental in managing test state, container lifecycles, and environment synchronization across test scenarios [2][4]. Due to the active nature of this repository, the contents of specific test utility files are frequently updated to accommodate new features, refactoring of test runners, and dependency management [2][4][5].

"EvaluatorUtils.java" "value == null" "flagd-api-testkit"

💡 Result:

The EvaluatorUtils.java file is a component within the OpenFeature flagd Java ecosystem, typically associated with utilities for the flagd-api-testkit or related evaluation logic [1][2][3]. In the context of the flagd-api-testkit and flagd Java evaluators, a check for value == null (often appearing in code like if (value == null)) is used to handle edge cases in flag evaluation [2]. These checks typically ensure that when a resolved flag value is null or missing, the system adheres to OpenFeature specifications regarding default values and error handling [4]. For example: 1. Compliance with Specifications: The flagd-api-testkit is used to verify that flagd evaluators correctly handle various scenarios, including those where values might be null, ensuring consistency across implementations [1][2]. 2. Default Value Handling: Recent developments have focused on allowing null or missing default values, where the system must return a specific result (such as FlagNotFound) if targeting does not resolve a variant and no default value is provided [4]. 3. Type Coercion: Evaluator utilities often include logic to coerce or validate resolved values [2]. Checks for null values are essential before performing type coercion to prevent NullPointerException errors and to correctly identify when a type mismatch or default path should be taken [2]. If you are encountering a specific issue or warning related to value == null in EvaluatorUtils.java within your test suite, it is likely part of the ongoing effort to improve operator conformance, null-handling, and spec compliance within the flagd Java ecosystem [5][6][7].

github.com/open-feature/java-sdk-contrib "Convert to" "Tools" "Null" "valueOf"

💡 Result:

There is no standard or known operation in the open-feature/java-sdk-contrib repository to "Convert to Tools Null valueOf." Research into the repository indicates that recent efforts have focused on fixing NullPointerExceptions [1] and improving operator conformance [2] within its tools modules, specifically within flagd-core components [1]. The term "valueOf" is a standard Java method often used for type conversion (e.g., String.valueOf(Object)) [3], but it is not associated with a specific migration or conversion utility in this context. If you are encountering an issue related to null handling or value conversion, it is likely related to general Java programming practices or specific bugs within the providers/tools, rather than a documented library feature. If you are looking to resolve null-related issues in your implementation, common approaches in the OpenFeature Java ecosystem include: 1. Ensuring proper null checks when accessing metadata or evaluation results [1]. 2. Using the standard SDK evaluation methods that support default values, which are designed to handle nulls safely [4]. 3. Reviewing project-specific pull requests (such as PR #1709 or #1778) for examples of how to safely handle nulls in the context of the java-sdk-contrib repository [2][1].

This guard handles the "Null" type and the text "null", but not value == null. A null Boolean becomes false, while null numeric and object values fail. Add the actual-null check before the string sentinel check.

Proposed guard
 if ("Null".equals(type)) return null;
- if (Objects.equals(value, "null") && !"String".equals(type)) return null;
+ if (value == null || (Objects.equals(value, "null") && !"String".equals(type))) return null;

Update the convert Javadoc to match the null contract.

The documentation omits the Null type. It also states that "null" and an empty Object value return null. The implementation preserves "null" for String and creates an empty object for an empty Object value.

Proposed documentation update
-     * `@param` type  the flag type name: Boolean, String, Integer, Float, or Object
-     * `@return` the converted value, or {`@code` null} if {`@code` value} is "null" or empty for Object
+     * `@param` type  the flag type name: Null, Boolean, String, Integer, Float, or Object
+     * `@return` the converted value; String preserves the literal "null", and Object
+     *         converts an empty value to an empty object

Return GeneralError for a missing fallback targeting key.

Line 65 returns null. FractionalTest.missingBucketKeyReturnsNull now requires GeneralError for this input. The current implementation will fail that test and return the wrong evaluation outcome.

🌐 Web query:

com.upokecenter.cbor CBORObject.FromObject Object long double semantic

💡 Result:

In the PeterO.Cbor library (com.upokecenter.cbor), the static methods CBORObject.FromObject(double) and CBORObject.FromObject(long) are marked as obsolete [1][2][3]. Users are encouraged to use explicit, type-specific methods to generate CBOR objects [1][3]. Key recommendations: For floating-point numbers: Use CBORObject.FromDouble(double) instead of FromObject(double) [2][3]. For 64-bit integers: Use CBORObject.FromInt64(long) instead of FromObject(long) [2][3]. Regarding "semantic" conversion, the library's FromObject(object) method remains available for general-purpose conversion of arbitrary objects [1][2]. This method uses reflection (on platforms that support it) to determine how to serialize the object based on its type [4][5]. For more granular control over serialization or to define custom "semantic" mappings for specific types, the library provides the CBORTypeMapper class [6]. This allows you to register custom converters that implement ICBORToFromConverter or ICBORConverter to handle serialization and deserialization behavior explicitly [6][7].

🌐 Web query:

com.upokecenter.cbor.CBORObject FromObject long double implementation integer type

💡 Result:

In the Upokecenter CBOR library, the CBORObject.FromObject method is a general-purpose factory method used to convert arbitrary objects into CBORObject instances [1][2]. However, it is important to note that many specific overloads of FromObject are considered obsolete and have been replaced by more specific, type-focused factory methods [1][2]. Regarding the specific types mentioned: 1. Long and Double: The library provides FromInt64(long) and FromDouble(double) as the preferred replacements for the older FromObject(long) and FromObject(double) overloads [1][3][2]. Using these dedicated methods is recommended for better performance and clarity [3]. 2. Integer Type Implementation: The CBOR library handles integers according to the CBOR specification [4]. When converting to integer types (such as long or int) from a CBOR object, the library typically requires the CBOR object to have a type of Integer [3]. Methods like AsInt64Value are used to retrieve these values [3]. If a floating-point number is provided where an integer is expected, the implementation generally requires an explicit conversion (such as discarding the fractional part), which may throw an exception if the value is out of range or not representable as an integer (e.g., infinity or NaN) [5]. For developers seeking to avoid the overhead or limitations associated with generic reflection-based conversion, direct usage of type-specific factory methods (e.g., FromInt64, FromDouble) and conversion methods (e.g., AsInt64Value, AsDouble) is the standard best practice for this library [1][3][2].

Lines 188-191 convert non-integral values like 1.0 or -0.0 to long before hashing. This preserves value equality but changes the CBOR type, so a floating-point attribute can hash like an integer attribute. Keep these inputs on the floating-point branch and add fractional bucketing cases for 1, 1.0, and -0.0.

They have matching Cucumber step annotations because both suites run the evaluator feature scenarios from test-harness, but they serve two distinct purposes across different modules:

  1. providers/flagd/.../ContextSteps.java (under src/test) is for end-to-end testing of FlagdProvider and depends on the provider e2e State (managing clients, resolvers, and test containers).

  2. tools/flagd-api-testkit/.../ContextSteps.java (under src/main) is part of the published, reusable flagd-api-testkit library, which depends on EvaluatorState and allows any standalone Evaluator SPI implementation (like flagd-core) to verify compliance against the test suite.
    Because flagd-api-testkit is a standalone reusable testkit distributed in src/main, it maintains its own step definitions.

Reject null as an explicit bucket key.

When arguments.get(0) resolves to null, this branch removes it and hashes [flagKey, targetingKey], although the fractional bucketing contract rejects null as the first argument. Raise a JsonLogicEvaluationException instead, and add a regression test for [null, [variant, weight]] with a valid targetingKey.

Preserve unsigned 64-bit integers during normalization.

Integral values above Long.MAX_VALUE must remain CBOR integers. node.asLong() narrows BigIntegerNode values to a signed long, which can wrap values such as 2^63. Integral-valued floating-point nodes in [2^63, 2^64 - 1] also bypass integer normalization because lines 186–187 only accept signed long bounds. Use an exact, unsigned-capable CBOR integer conversion and add boundary tests for 2^63 and 2^64 - 1.

@NeaguGeorgiana23 the in-process failures on the timestamp scenario trace back to a gap in the SDK's Long support added in open-feature/java-sdk#1985; Structure.convertValue still only handles Integer/Double, so a Long context value throws ValueNotConvertableError and falls back to the default; not a fractional/CBOR issue, and we'll open a fix upstream. Tracked in open-feature/java-sdk#2019.

Hey @NeaguGeorgiana23; I pushed a change to correct the fractional test tags (v3 for in-process, observing your new hash assertions) and v2 for RPC (since the published flagd still doesn't have those new behaviors).

Overall this implementation looks good to me except perhaps this, and I think if we implement the rest of the providers similarly we can merge them all and release in a tight timeframe. The challenge will be making sure everything stays consistent across languages and modes - we need consistency here or users get bucketed differently in different apps for the same flag. I think we have 2 choices:

  1. Add a switch/option for the new fractional behavior everywhere, defaulting to v2 for now, and switching the default to v3 in a later release; or
  2. Keep this PR and all the others just pending, and merge/release all of its siblings and the flagd-core CBOR change at the same time.

I'm fine with either; it's really just a question of what's better for you in terms of maintenance. What do you think?

@NeaguGeorgiana23 one concern on the CBOR number handling: I don't think numeric bucketing is provably consistent cross-language yet. Floats always encode as f64 (the ADR wants shortest-form), and whole floats like 1.0 collapse to a CBOR int (type 0 vs type 7) which may not match Go (open-feature/flagd#2011). And none of the @fractional-v3 testbed scenarios feed a number/map as the bucket input, so green CI doesn't actually prove Java and Go agree here.

Not necessarily a blocker for this PR, but before we release these together I'd want the number-normalization rules pinned to the Go reference impl plus shared testbed vectors for float/int/map inputs. WDYT?
