From d40dd69091166ca060e02ec7f0fa21044cd1cbb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: laurentketterle-hub Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 09:13:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix: implement topology-aware cache keys with atomic epoch invalidation (Fixes #3) - Add TopologyVersion struct with epoch, shard ID, and routing hash - Make cache entries topology-aware: each entry stores its epoch context - Atomic topology updates via sync/atomic.Value for thread safety - Auto-invalidate stale cache entries on epoch increment - Within same epoch, duplicate events are filtered; across epochs, re-emission is allowed Signed-off-by: laurentketterle-hub --- main.go | 136 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 112 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/main.go b/main.go index ba2ff21..3a69751 100644 --- a/main.go +++ b/main.go @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ package main import ( "fmt" "sync" + "sync/atomic" ) // Event represents an MVCC event emitted by the rangefeed. @@ -12,41 +13,102 @@ type Event struct { Value string } +// TopologyVersion represents the current shard assignment configuration. +// It is monotonically incremented on each rebalance or lease handoff. +type TopologyVersion struct { + Epoch int64 // Monotonically increasing epoch number + ShardID string // Current shard/routing-table identifier + Hash string // Hash of the active routing table assignment +} + +// cacheEntry holds the emitted timestamp plus the topology version +// under which this entry was recorded. +type cacheEntry struct { + Timestamp int64 + Topology TopologyVersion +} + // Deduplicator filters out duplicate MVCC events during range lease handoffs. +// It now supports topology-aware cache keys to prevent partial/dirty reads +// after a rebalance or lease transfer. type Deduplicator struct { mu sync.Mutex - emitted map[string]int64 // Key -> Max Timestamp emitted - frontier int64 // Current resolved timestamp (checkpoint) + emitted map[string]cacheEntry // Key -> cache entry with topology + frontier int64 // Current resolved timestamp (checkpoint) + topology atomic.Value // Stores the current TopologyVersion (thread-safe) } // NewDeduplicator creates a new Deduplicator instance. func NewDeduplicator() *Deduplicator { - return &Deduplicator{ - emitted: make(map[string]int64), + d := &Deduplicator{ + emitted: make(map[string]cacheEntry), + } + d.topology.Store(TopologyVersion{Epoch: 1, ShardID: "default", Hash: ""}) + return d +} + +// CurrentTopology returns the current topology version (thread-safe). +func (d *Deduplicator) CurrentTopology() TopologyVersion { + return d.topology.Load().(TopologyVersion) +} + +// UpdateTopology atomically updates the routing table configuration. +// This is called when a shard rebalance or lease handoff occurs. +// Any cached entries recorded under an older epoch are invalidated. +func (d *Deduplicator) UpdateTopology(newTopo TopologyVersion) { + d.mu.Lock() + defer d.mu.Unlock() + + oldTopo := d.topology.Load().(TopologyVersion) + if newTopo.Epoch <= oldTopo.Epoch { + // Reject stale or duplicate topology updates + return + } + + // Invalidate all cache entries that were recorded under an older + // epoch — they are potentially stale and must not be used going forward. + for key, entry := range d.emitted { + if entry.Topology.Epoch < newTopo.Epoch { + delete(d.emitted, key) + } } + + d.topology.Store(newTopo) } // ShouldEmit returns true if the event should be emitted to the sink. -// It filters out duplicate events based on the key and MVCC timestamp. +// It filters out duplicate events based on the key and MVCC timestamp, +// and now also validates that the cache entry matches the current topology. func (d *Deduplicator) ShouldEmit(event Event) bool { d.mu.Lock() defer d.mu.Unlock() + currentTopo := d.topology.Load().(TopologyVersion) + // If the event's timestamp is less than or equal to the current resolved frontier, // it has already been checkpointed and should not be re-emitted. if event.Timestamp <= d.frontier { return false } - // Check if we have already emitted this key at a timestamp >= the event's timestamp. - if lastTimestamp, ok := d.emitted[event.Key]; ok { - if event.Timestamp <= lastTimestamp { - return false + // Check if we have already emitted this key at a timestamp >= the event's timestamp + // AND under the same topology epoch.
