perf(storage): deadline-ordered expiry index replaces the sampling sweep (#541) - #549
Conversation
…eep (#541) The active-expiry sweep sampled 20 random keys per round from keys_with_expiry() — an O(N) full-map clone — and repeated only while >=25% of the sample was expired. Two failure modes: 1. CPU: any database with even ONE TTL'd key paid three O(N) scans per 100ms tick (the sample-source clone + two flag-maintenance scans; the maybe_has_expiring_keys latch only saves the zero-TTL case). Measured at 100K volatile keys: 1.36ms/tick — the scans alone exceeded the sweep's own 1ms budget before expiring anything. 2. Blindness: when due keys are a small fraction of the volatile population, the sample finds ~none and the 25% gate stops the cycle after one round — 50 due keys among 10K volatile ones survive ~500 expected rounds instead of one. Design (per review decision): BTreeSet<(expires_at_ms, CompactKey)> on Database, one pair per HOT entry with ttl_ms != 0, maintained in lock-step by the storage-layer writers ("sweep state writers, not command names"): - set (all four TTL transitions via old/new ttl captured around insert_or_update), set_expiry (retarget), insert_for_load, remove_hot (every removal path funnels here now: remove, remove_counting_cold, demote_replayed_cold_shadows, the accessors' write-path expired drops — 4 inline copies unified onto drop_if_expired — and hash_ttl's cleanup_empty_hash, which previously raw-removed without even crediting memory), clear, and recalculate_memory (post-bulk-load rebuild, healing any load path that bypassed insert_for_load). - Sweep 1 now pops exactly the DUE pairs off the front (O(due·log n), same 1ms budget, backlog carries), re-verifies each against the entry, and defensively drops stale pairs so the loop always progresses. Flag maintenance reads index emptiness — O(1). - Cold-spilled keys are NOT indexed (eviction unindexes via remove_hot), exactly mirroring the old scan which only walked hot entries: cold TTLs stay lazy-only. Index memory (~48B/pair) is metadata outside used_memory, like every other side table. - keys_with_expiry() reads the index (deadline order); INFO's expires_count is now O(1). Hash-field TTLs: a conservative hash_field_ttl_latch (armed by hash_set_field_ttl, by HashWithTtl values arriving whole via set/insert_for_load, and by recalculate_memory; lowered only by the sweep's self-reset gate when its scan proves none remain) gates sweep 2 and its flag-maintenance scan, so databases that never touch HEXPIRE skip the O(N) HashWithTtl scan entirely. The scan itself when the latch is up remains O(N) — that is #543, deliberately not closed here. Two writers that bypassed the expiry machinery, found by the writer sweep and fixed by rerouting: - GETEX (all five TTL arms) wrote through a raw get_mut + set_expires_at_ms: it never armed maybe_has_expiring_keys, so a key whose ONLY TTL came from GETEX was invisible to active expiry forever (could only die on a later read). Now routes through db.set_expiry. - set_expiry hitting an already-expired key physically removed it with no expired notification and no dual-plane DEL — the same silent lazy-removal class #542 closed for reads. Now hides + queues via note_lazy_expired for the emitting drain (EXPIRE still answers 0). Evidence: - Red-first: 3 behaviorally-red tests (sampling-blindness promptness, GETEX latch bypass, set_expiry silent removal) failed on the old code for the right reasons; 3 more (index-writer battery against a full-scan consistency oracle, hash-latch arm/lower) compile-gated red. All green after. - Mutation-attacked the guards before trusting them: deleting remove_hot's unindex kills the oracle battery; deleting set()'s index maintenance kills both the battery and the promptness test. - Timing probe (ships as an #[ignore] test), same 100K-volatile-key database, 1000 cycles, release-fast, macOS: old sweep 1.36ms/tick -> new 47ns/tick (~29,000x), measured on this branch vs the pre-change parent in a clean worktree. - Full lib suite 4684/4684; clippy clean on default and tokio+jemalloc legs.

… compound is a bash syntax error `vm "CARGO_TARGET_DIR=... $VM_TEST_MONOIO"` expanded to `VAR=x if command -v cargo-nextest ...` inside the VM's bash -c — a syntax error, because variable-assignment prefixes are only legal before SIMPLE commands, not compound keywords. Both VM suite steps exited in <1s with rc=2 having run zero tests; the summary honestly printed FAIL, but the failure read as a test problem, not a harness one. Caught on the first real --full exercise (2026-08-19) by the "a 0-second suite did not run" smell + manual reproduction of the inner command (which worked — the prefix is legal on the bare cargo invocation, masking the bug). Fix: `export VAR=...;` before the compound. Verified: the fixed step now compiles-and-runs the suite (multi-minute, real test output). author: Tin Dang

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Two different "is this pair due" predicates classify the same pair inconsistently. peek_due_expiry accepts a pair when ts <= now_ms, while the sweep re-verifies with is_key_expired, which requires the clock to be strictly past the deadline. At ts == now_ms the peek returns the pair and the re-verification rejects it, so the sweep treats a valid pair as stale and deletes it. The key then loses active expiry permanently.

This assertion depends on wall-clock timing.
expire_cycle stops at a 1ms budget. The test asserts that a single cycle removes all 50 due keys. On a loaded CI runner the budget can expire before the 50th removal, and the test fails intermittently. Loop the cycle until the index is empty, or assert on the cumulative count across a bounded number of cycles.

reserve replaces the data table without clearing the new index.
clear now resets expiry_index and hash_field_ttl_latch. reserve (Lines 533-544) also replaces self.data with a fresh DashTable and resets maybe_has_expiring_keys, but it does not clear expiry_index. The debug_assert! only guards debug builds. In a release build, a reserve call on a populated database drops the entries and leaves every index pair behind. The sweep then peeks stale pairs, and expires_count over-reports.
Clear expiry_index and hash_field_ttl_latch in reserve as well.

…ir discipline, latch-at-promotion (#550) Review findings on the merged expiry-index PR (#549), each verified against the code before fixing: - GETEX EX/EXAT: the seconds->ms `* 1000` could overflow u64 (panic in debug, silent wrap to a bogus TTL in release). checked_mul now routes overflow to the existing range error; EX's absolute-time addition saturates. New test getex_rejects_overflowing_seconds (red pre-fix). - Sweep 1 drops an index pair ONLY when it is provably stale (entry gone or TTL != ts). Previously any failed expiry re-check dropped the pair, which would discard a VALID pair if the wall clock stepped backwards between the cycle-start peek and re-verification (the key would then never actively expire). A valid-but-not-due head pair now ends the sweep (ordered index: nothing later is due either), so loop progress is preserved on every path. peek_due_expiry's doc records the is_expired_at alignment and why re-check failure is not proof of staleness. New test sweep_drops_only_provably_stale_pairs pins that a stale pair is dropped without touching the live entry. - Budget clock read batched: start.elapsed() every 64 pops instead of per key; at least one key still processes before the first check. - hash_field_ttl_latch arms at PROMOTION, not at HEXPIRE success: the NX/XX/GT/LT gate can return -2 after the value already became HashWithTtl (e.g. GT on a non-volatile field), leaving a HashWithTtl with the latch down — breaking the latch's conservativeness invariant the oracle checks. New test hash_field_ttl_latch_arms_even_when_condition_fails (red pre-fix). - Sweep 2 lowers the latch from its own reap outcomes (FieldsRemoved/ NoOp = still eligible; Downgraded/KeyDeleted = not) instead of a second O(N) hashes_with_field_expiry() rescan per tick. - reserve() clears expiry_index + hash latch alongside the table swap, matching clear(); recalculate_memory() assigns the hash latch authoritatively from its scan (a restore WITHOUT HashWithTtl entries now clears a previously raised latch), matching its index rebuild. - debug_expiry_index_consistent is #[cfg(test)] pub(crate) — an oracle, not storage API. - expire_cycle_removes_all_due_keys_among_many_live_ones made deterministic under CI preemption: bounded cycles (<=20), cumulative count.

Summary
Replaces the active-expiry sweep's probabilistic sampling with a deadline-ordered index: a per-database
BTreeSet<(expires_at_ms, CompactKey)>holding one pair per hot TTL-carrying entry, maintained O(log n) by the storage-layer writers. The 100ms sweep now pops exactly the DUE keys off the front — no 20-key random sample, no O(N) full-map scans.Why
The old sweep had two independent failure modes (#541):
keys_with_expiry()clone as the sample source + two flag-maintenance scans); themaybe_has_expiring_keyslatch only saves the zero-TTL case. Measured at 100K volatile keys: 1.36ms/tick — the scans alone exceeded the sweep's own 1ms budget before expiring anything.Measured

get_mut+set_expires_at_ms— it never armed the sweep latch, so a key whose only TTL came from GETEX was invisible to active expiry forever. Now routes throughdb.set_expiry.expirednotification and no dual-plane DEL — the same silent lazy-removal class Lazy expiry emits no expired notification and no replicated/AOF DEL — replicas retain lazily-expired keys forever #542 closed for reads.
