perf(vector): cost-free monoio FT.SEARCH yield reclaims #179 deferred QPS - #189
Merged
Conversation
…ed QPS PR #179 moved brute-force FT.SEARCH off the event loop by yielding between chunks, but its monoio yield (`sleep(ZERO)`) parks on the timer wheel at ~1.8ms/yield. To amortize that tax the brute-force chunk had to be coarsened to 16384 vecs/chunk, costing ~22% transient QPS. Replace the timer-park with a cost-free park-reap: read one byte from an always-ready per-shard `UnixStream` socketpair. Submitting an io_uring read on an already-ready fd forces the SAME drain -> park -> reap cycle (servicing co-located connections' read CQEs) at ~0.317us/yield instead of ~1746us — 5514x cheaper (measured, 100k-iter clean run). The cheap yield lets the chunk return to a fine knee, restoring co-located latency relief AND throughput. Mechanism: - src/runtime/mod.rs: monoio `cooperative_yield()` delegates to a new private `monoio_yield::park_reap`. Per-shard thread-local self-pipe, lazily created on first yield (like the Lua sandbox), kept readable by re-arming 4096 bytes when drained. Falls back to `sleep(ZERO)` off io_uring (`MOON_NO_URING`/non-Linux), on socketpair init failure (sticky for the thread), or on a starved read — never failing the search, never running synchronously. No new unsafe (monoio's public `net::unix::UnixStream::pair()`). The pipe is taken out of the thread-local before each `.await`, so no state is held across the await point. - src/vector/segment/holder.rs: `max_brute_force_vecs_per_chunk` 16384 -> 512, the build-measured knee. End-to-end FT.SEARCH A/B (20k x 384d, KNN10, release) vs a true sync control: K=512 = +2.74% (2x margin under the 5% bound, within it for >=~210d incl. 256d embeddings), K=256 = +4.98% (on the line at 384d), K=1024 = +2.02%. `MOON_FT_YIELD_CHUNK` operator override unchanged. The tokio path (`yield_now`) is untouched. Tests: - src/runtime/mod.rs unit (monoio+linux): overhead-is-microscopic (200 yields <100ms vs timer ~360ms), co-located relief guard, init-failure fallback. - tests/ft_yield_costfree.rs: pins the 512 knee + the env override. - tests/ft_yield_chunk_ab.rs: #[ignore] verify-phase end-to-end QPS A/B sweep. Closes the v2-1-throughput-polish milestone (recovers the ~22% #179 deferred). author: Tin Dang

…ersion 4 Milestone v2-1-throughput-polish met all 4 exit criteria (cost-free monoio FT.SEARCH yield, QPS within 5% of sync at K=512, co-located relief preserved, both runtimes green / 0 new unsafe) -> status done. Retrospective consolidation of the 3 open competency deltas from ft-yield-costfree-monoio into the versioned foundation (append-only): - SDD -> PROJECT.md Spec: spike a library-internals risk BEFORE freezing the contract (the spike refuted the make-or-break no-op risk AND corrected the named primitive Pipe -> UnixStream::pair). - TDD -> CONVENTIONS.md: pin a "cost-free" property with a behavioral wall-time red test, not an introspection hook. - ADD -> CONVENTIONS.md: a measured dominant-cost constant is necessary but NOT sufficient to freeze a tuning knee; pair it with a relative same-binary A/B (which also cancels OrbStack absolute-RPS noise). - PROJECT.md Key Decisions: one auditable row; foundation-version 3 -> 4. Deltas flipped open -> folded in TASK.md; RETRO.md written by milestone-done. author: Tin Dang

Add explicit fence languages for the contract blocks.

Make set_force_fail reset panic-safe in the failure-path test.
If this test panics before the final reset call, FORCE_FAIL can stay enabled and cascade into later tests on the same thread. Use a drop guard to always restore the flag.

GCloud cross-arch benchmark of PR #189 found the shipped K=512 brute-force yield knee BREACHES the 5% throughput bound on x86_64 while holding on aarch64. 512 was tuned only on the aarch64 dev VM (+2.74%); bare-metal confirmation (FT.SEARCH A/B, 20k x 384d KNN10, release, vs sync control): arch K=512 K=1024 aarch64 Neoverse-N1 +3.98/+4.18% +3.39/+2.28% within 5% x86_64 Sapphire Rapids +6.02/+7.27/+8.10% +2.19/+3.45/+3.32% Root cause: the knee is architecture-dependent. x86 scans the chunk faster (AVX-512 @ 2.7GHz -> sync 154 qps vs aarch64's 97), so each chunk finishes in less wall-time and the fixed per-yield park-reap cost is a larger fraction -> higher overhead %. K=1024 holds the bound on BOTH arches, relief still ~20 yields/query (sub-ms gaps, vs ~1 at #179's 16384). - holder.rs: max_brute_force_vecs_per_chunk 512 -> 1024 (+ cross-arch doc). - tests/ft_yield_costfree.rs: compile-time pin renamed/retuned to 1024. - tests/ft_yield_chunk_ab.rs: A/B now gates on the shipped 1024 knee. - TASK.md / GLOSSARY: record the cross-arch finding + the per-arch A/B lesson (open ADD delta: confirm a tuning knee on EACH target arch, not just dev). KV throughput unaffected (this PR touches only the FT.SEARCH yield path); Moon's pipeline-depth win over Redis held on both arches in the same run. author: Tin Dang

190-195: 💤 Low valueDocument the post-freeze cross-arch discovery more clearly.
Lines 190–195 document that K=512 was initially resolved at verify but then found to breach the 5% throughput bound on x86_64 during a post-merge GCloud cross-arch bench, requiring re-tuning to K=1024. This is correct and important, but the phrasing "[RESOLVED in verify: K=512]" followed by "[RE-RESOLVED post-merge-pending: K=1024]" may confuse readers into thinking the verify stage was incomplete.
Consider restructuring to clarify that the verify gate passed the dev-VM A/B (aarch64-only) as documented, but a subsequent GCloud cross-arch validation (after code merge was approved but before shipment) discovered the x86_64 breach and triggered the knee adjustment.
The substantive lesson — that a single-arch A/B can mask cross-arch variance — is already captured in the competency-delta section (lines 341–347), so this is primarily a narrative clarity concern.

…§2.8) Add §2.8 to BENCHMARK.md — a record-grade re-measurement of current main + PR #189 (commit db61973, the cost-free monoio FT.SEARCH yield with the cross-arch K=1024 brute-force knee) on fresh on-demand GCloud instances: c3-standard-8 (x86_64 Sapphire Rapids) and t2a-standard-8 (ARM64 Neoverse-N1), Ubuntu 24.04, Redis 7.0.15, best-of-3 same-run Moon/Redis ratios. Purpose: PR #189 touches only the FT.SEARCH brute-force yield path, so KV / multi-shard / graph throughput must be unchanged. This run confirms it. Findings: - KV loose p=64 (Moon fair vs Redis): GET 1.91x x86 / 2.26x ARM, SET 1.69x / 2.07x — within GCloud's 10-15% VM variance of the §2.1/§2.7 baseline. No KV regression from PR #189. - KV strict p=64 SET (distributed -r 1M): Moon wins both arches (1.21x x86, 1.27x ARM); ARM strict SET flipped positive vs §2.7.2's 0.86x within CV + the no-pinning delta. (Strict GET is a miss workload here — caveated.) - Multi-shard scaling 1->8 shards is flat-to-slightly-negative for uniform single-key GET/SET at c=50 (x86 GET p=64 holds ~4.7M; p=16 -2%; ARM -4-5%), confirming the CLAUDE.md single-shard-is-best gotcha. Adds a cross-reference note to §4.4 refining its optimistic +1.46x-at-8-shards figure. - Graph within ~3% of §11; vector lifecycle (insert->brute->COMPACT->HNSW) ran clean (HNSW ~10x faster/query than brute-force) — search not broken by the K=1024 change. Honesty caveats recorded in §2.8.6: no CPU pinning this run (rely on same-run ratios), strict-GET miss workload, per-key memory not recorded (harness failed to capture Redis RSS — §3 unchanged), vector harness single-connection latency-bound (not comparable to §10's concurrent 12.7K QPS). Layered as a new dated subsection (mirroring how §2.7 was added on §2.1) so the April record is preserved, not overwritten. Updates the Last-Updated line. author: Tin Dang

Soften the ARM strict-SET interpretation.
The jump from §2.7.2’s pinned 0.86× to this run’s 1.27× is much larger than the 2–4% CV quoted above, and this section explicitly says the run was unpinned. “Well within” overstates what the table supports.

| > **Refined 2026-06-15 (§2.8.4):** on GCloud c3/t2a with a **uniform single-key** GET/SET workload at c=50, 1→8 shards is flat-to-slightly-negative (x86 GET p=64 holds ~4.7M, p=16 −2%; ARM −4–5%), not the +1.46× above. The positive scaling here reflects a non-uniform / higher-concurrency workload; for uniform cross-shard routing, single-shard is best (CLAUDE.md gotcha). Multi-shard wins come from pipeline/AOF parallelism and hash-tag co-location, not raw uniform-key fan-out. |

Clarify the workload shape here.
“Uniform single-key” conflicts with the explanation about cross-shard routing and hash-tag co-location. If this is a distributed-key benchmark, say that directly; if it is truly a hot-key workload, the scaling explanation needs to change.

In `@BENCHMARK.md` at line 381, The benchmark description at line 381 contains a
contradiction: it describes the workload as "uniform single-key" but then
explains the scaling results in terms of cross-shard routing and hash-tag
co-location, which are irrelevant for single-key workloads. Either clarify that
this is actually a distributed-key workload (not single-key) and align the
description with that, or if it is truly a hot-key workload, revise the
explanation to remove references to cross-shard routing effects and hash-tag
benefits that would not apply.

Add a deep code review (architecture map + audit) of all four core features
and a GCloud benchmark of each against its Redis-family competitor, then fold
the results into the canonical BENCHMARK.md.
Reviews (docs/reviews/2026-06-16/):
- DEEP-REVIEW.md synthesis + review-{kv,vector,graph,fts}.md (4 parallel
principal-Rust agents, read-only, citing real file:line).
- Verdict: strong shared-nothing design, fuzz-safe parsers, 100% unsafe SAFETY,
no locks across .await, no P0 security. High-value items are latent-correctness
traps (Vector code_len SQ8 search.rs:366; Graph CSR incoming-edge gap, label
bitmap >=32; FTS is_text_query SPARSE + expect()) and a small hot-path-alloc
list (KV INCR String, Vector key_hash clone, FTS dispatch Vec).
Benchmark (4FEATURE-BENCH.md + gce-4feature-bench.sh, GCloud c3 + t2a,
8-thread concurrent, vs Redis / RediSearch / FalkorDB):
- KV: Moon wins pipelined (GET p64 1.90x/1.79x, SET p64 1.67x/2.05x x86/ARM).
- Vector: Moon insert 6-20x faster; RediSearch search ~16x QPS at 0.96 vs 0.86
recall (384d). Honestly reframes the old 12.7K-QPS single-conn figure.
- FTS (new): early-stage vs RediSearch -- indexing ~48x slower (O(V) upsert),
high-DF term 419ms (O(M^2) TF lookup), OR/TEXT+TAG combos return wrong counts.
- Graph: native build 21-26x faster + 1-hop edges out FalkorDB; Moon Cypher
cannot point-filter inline node-properties (full-scans) -- use GRAPH.NEIGHBORS.
The benchmark cross-validated 4 review findings (notably the FTS O(N) TF lookup,
predicted in code -> 419ms at scale).
BENCHMARK.md changes:
- New section "12. Full-Text Search" (vs RediSearch) + renumber 12->13/13->14/14->15.
- §10.5 vector concurrent-vs-RediSearch; §11.4 graph vs FalkorDB.
- §1 exec summary rows replaced with honest competitive figures pointing to detail.
- §15 reproduce pointer to the committed harness; Last-Updated bumped.
Records where Moon trails the mature competitors, not only where it wins.

- Around line 69-70: The script starts a Redis server daemon with the daemonize
flag but does not stop it when the script completes, causing process and state
leakage across repeated runs. Add a teardown mechanism using a trap command to
ensure that when the script exits (whether normally or due to error), the Redis
server process is stopped by executing pkill with the appropriate filter for the
Redis process that was started with the port argument.
- Around line 104-107: The exception handler in the benchmark loop is catching
failures from qfn(c) but still recording latency and incrementing the count,
which artificially inflates QPS metrics and masks failure-heavy runs. Move the
latency recording and count increment operations (the L.append and n+=1
statements) into the try block after the qfn(c) call succeeds, so that only
successful requests contribute to the performance metrics. This issue occurs at
multiple locations in the file (around lines 104-107 and line 112), so apply
this fix consistently at all benchmark measurement points.
- Line 10: The benchmark script currently references a moving branch in the BR
variable assignment instead of a fixed commit reference, which causes
non-reproducible results over time. Replace the branch name
`feat/ft-yield-costfree-monoio` with the immutable commit hash `db61973` in the
BR variable assignments to ensure consistent and reproducible benchmark runs.
This change needs to be applied wherever BR is defined to reference a branch
instead of a fixed commit.
- Around line 52-53: The `start_moon()` function returns the exit status of the
`wp` health check, but all callers of `start_moon()` do not check this return
status before continuing. If Moon fails to start up, the script continues
silently into benchmarking, producing misleading results. Add error handling
(such as `|| exit 1`) after every invocation of `start_moon()` to ensure the
script fails immediately when the Moon startup health check fails. This applies
to all call sites of the `start_moon()` function throughout the script.
- Around line 31-32: The Docker container image references for
redis-stack-server and falkordb use mutable `:latest` tags which can change
without modifying the script, causing benchmark reproducibility issues. Replace
the mutable `redis/redis-stack-server:latest` tag with a pinned image digest
(e.g., `redis/redis-stack-server@sha256:...`) and similarly replace
`falkordb/falkordb:latest` with its corresponding pinned digest to ensure
consistent baseline versions across benchmark runs.

Lines 31–32 pull mutable images, causing competitor baselines to drift silently without script changes. This compromises benchmark reproducibility—performance differences become indeterminate (Moon changes vs. competitor version shifts).

Fail fast when Moon startup health check fails.
start_moon() returns wp status, but callers continue regardless. If Moon never comes up, later benchmark lines can become misleading instead of explicitly failing.

The Lint gate's CHANGELOG check requires every PR (without the skip-changelog label) to add a CHANGELOG entry; PR #189 carried a real user-facing perf change (cost-free monoio yield, brute-force knee 256->1024) but had no entry, so Lint failed. Add an [Unreleased] entry describing the change: the monoio FT.SEARCH cooperative yield now reaps the io_uring CQ via a pre-armed UnixStream::pair read (~0.317 us) instead of sleep(ZERO) (~1746 us), making the yield effectively free and letting the brute-force chunk knee rise to 1024 (per-arch A/B confirmed on GCloud: K=512 breached the 5% budget on x86 but held on aarch64). #179's co-located p99 relief is preserved. Notes the companion BENCHMARK.md §2.8 + docs/reviews/2026-06-16 deep-review/benchmark docs that ride along on this PR. author: Tin Dang
The perf_v0112_insert_or_update_single_probe regression net took a single control-vs-test timing pair and asserted test/control < 0.95. On a contended macOS CI runner one scheduler blip during the test loop pushed the ratio to 0.994 (control 1.172s vs test 1.165s -- the optimisation was still faster, just not by the full margin), failing the Check (macOS) job on PR #189 even though the PR's diff touches no storage/DashTable code. Make the measurement noise-tolerant without weakening the guarantee: measure the ratio up to REPS=5 times and keep the best (minimum), breaking early the moment one rep proves the gain. Per-run noise can only inflate an individual ratio toward 1.0, never deflate it below the true single-probe advantage (~0.67 from probe-count math), so best-of-K filters the flake while a real regression still pins every rep at ~1.0 and fails the unchanged 0.95 threshold. Early-exit keeps the healthy case at one rep, so the test costs the same as before unless a runner is actually noisy. Validated 14/14 green locally: 6x clean (0.773-0.814), 4x under full 12-core saturation (0.676-0.916), 4x under the exact CI feature set (--no-default-features --features runtime-tokio,jemalloc, 0.781-0.806) -- every run resolved in a single rep. author: Tin Dang

What & why
PR #179 moved brute-force
FT.SEARCHoff the event loop by yielding between chunks, but its monoio yield (sleep(ZERO)) parks on the timer wheel at ~1.8ms/yield. To amortize that tax the brute-force chunk had to be coarsened to 16384 vecs/chunk, costing ~22% transient QPS.This PR replaces the timer-park with a cost-free park-reap: read one byte from an always-ready per-shard
UnixStreamsocketpair. Submitting an io_uring read on an already-ready fd forces the same drain → park → reap cycle (servicing co-located connections' read CQEs) at ~0.317µs/yield instead of ~1746µs — 5514× cheaper (measured, 100k-iter clean run). The cheap yield lets the chunk return to a fine knee, restoring co-located latency relief and throughput.Mechanism
src/runtime/mod.rs— monoiocooperative_yield()delegates to a new privatemonoio_yield::park_reap. Per-shard thread-local self-pipe, lazily created on first yield (like the Lua sandbox), kept readable by re-arming 4096 bytes when drained. Falls back tosleep(ZERO)off io_uring (MOON_NO_URING/ non-Linux), on socketpair init failure (sticky for the thread), or on a starved read — never failing the search, never running synchronously. No newunsafe(monoio's publicnet::unix::UnixStream::pair()). The pipe is taken out of the thread-local before each.await, so no state is held across the await point.src/vector/segment/holder.rs—max_brute_force_vecs_per_chunk16384 → 512, the build-measured knee.MOON_FT_YIELD_CHUNKoperator override unchanged.yield_now) is untouched.Knee selection (end-to-end A/B)
FT.SEARCH A/B, 20k×384d, KNN10, release VM, best-of-3, fresh server/arm, vs a true sync control (chunk=1e9, never yields):
512 holds the <5% throughput bound for ≥~210d — covering the common embedding floor (384d MiniLM, 768d, 1536d) and 256d models — while still yielding ~39×/query (vs ~1 at 16384), so co-located relief is far finer than the #179 baseline.
