Raw Blame History

ARCHIVED — superseded. This planned a custom fan-out TCP replicator (repl_wait_ack() unblocking on any single standby's OP_replAck, plain WAL-copy OP_replEntry streaming, no Raft term concept). What actually shipped is majority-quorum Raft: repl_wait_majority_ack() delegating to a commit engine, and repl_broadcast()/repl_send_append_entries() carrying Raft terms through raft_on_append_entries_request. See closed specs ha-commit-engine, raft-log-replication, raft-commit-safety, ha-term-safety, ha-commit-barrier-rollout, ha-single-leader-role.

P2: Replication (Fan-Out TCP) — TDD Implementation Plan

Branch: persistent_ha
Date: 2026-05-07
Prerequisite: P1 complete — 115 controller tests green.
Goal: Primary replicates state changes to standbys in real time via the existing iomgr/SSL endpoint pipeline.

Scoping Notes

Replication channels reuse the existing iomgr/SSL endpoint pipeline — no new TLS infrastructure.
OP_replAck is handled directly in the io_worker read callback (handle_msg() before vtask dispatch) to prevent deadlock: if all vcpu threads block in repl_wait_ack(), the ACK must still be deliverable.
OP_replCatchUpDone is also handled in the io_worker read callback for the same latency reason.
P2.5 (libxce smart discovery) is a separate effort — not included in this plan. P2.5-7 (API server discovery) ships together with P2.
WAL_CHECKPOINT entries are never replicated — repl_broadcast() must assert type != WAL_CHECKPOINT.
repl_broadcast() must check ha.role == CTRL_PRIMARY before sending (split-brain guard).
Worker joins are always async-replicated — never sync — due to workermgr WRITE lock held during add_worker().

Task P2-1: `repl.h` + `repl.c` — Structures, init/fini, fan-out send, ACK tracking

Task P2-2: Standby receiver — `apply_wal_entry()` + `OP_replEntry` dispatch

Files

Action	File
Modify	`src/controller/repl.c` (add `apply_wal_entry`, standby `OP_replEntry` handler)
Modify	`src/controller/repl.h` (export `apply_wal_entry`)
Modify	`src/controller/cluster.c` (add `OPCode_replEntry` dispatch in `handle_msg()`)

Key Design Rules

apply_wal_entry() is identical to persist_recover()'s WAL replay path — no hooks fire (hooks are not registered on standbys; the hook system is empty until ha_promote_to_primary() step 5).
OP_replEntry is dispatched through vtaskmgr (normal path) since it is not ACK traffic.
After applying, standby sends OP_replAck with its new applied_lsn via the endpoint outq (NOT raw send()).
ha_state_t.last_received_crc tracks the CRC chain for the standby.
apply_wal_entry() on unknown entry types: log WARN, return 0 (skip — forward compatibility).

Task P2-3: Sync replication — `repl_wait_ack()` with per-standby condition variable

Files

Action	File
Modify	`src/controller/repl.c` (implement `repl_wait_ack()` fully)
Modify	`src/controller/myconf.c` (add `vcpus < 16` WARN when `sync_timeout_ms > 0`)
Modify	`src/controller/persist.c` (add startup WARN in `persist_start()`)

ACK Deadlock Prevention (Critical)

repl_on_ack() is called directly from the io_worker read callback (handle_msg()) for OPCode_replAck — before vtask dispatch. It only does:

atomic_store on acked_lsn
pthread_cond_signal on ack_cond

This means ACKs are delivered even when all vcpu threads are blocked in repl_wait_ack().

In handle_msg() in cluster.c, add a pre-vtask ACK shortcircuit:

/* Handle replAck BEFORE vtask dispatch — prevents deadlock when all vcpus
 * are blocked in repl_wait_ack(). repl_on_ack() is async-signal-safe for
 * this context: only atomic_store + pthread_cond_signal. */
if (request.opcode == OPCode_replAck) {
    uint64_t acked_lsn = decode_repl_ack_lsn(&request);
    repl_on_ack(&c->repl, ep, acked_lsn);
    free_Request(&request);
    return 0;  /* Do NOT enqueue vtask */
}
/* Handle replCatchUpDone inline too — same deadlock risk */
if (request.opcode == OPCode_replCatchUpDone) {
    handle_catch_up_done_inline(c, ep);
    free_Request(&request);
    return 0;

Task P2-5: Standby catch-up — stream missing WAL, snapshot transfer, `OP_replCatchUpDone`

Files

Action	File
Modify	`src/controller/repl.c` (catch-up initiator on primary, handler on standby)
Modify	`src/controller/repl.h` (export catch-up API)
Modify	`src/controller/cluster.c` (add `OPCode_replJoin`, `OPCode_replCatchUpDone` dispatch)

Catch-Up Protocol

Standby connects → sends OP_replJoin with applied_lsn = ha->applied_lsn.
Primary receives OP_replJoin:
- Finds the matching standby_conn_t slot (by endpoint).
- Sets slot->in_catch_up = 1, records slot->join_applied_lsn.
- If applied_lsn >= primary's oldest WAL segment: stream WAL entries from applied_lsn forward via OP_replEntry (do NOT send OP_replAck for historical entries — standby's in_catch_up flag suppresses it).
- If applied_lsn < oldest surviving WAL: send snapshot first via OP_replSnapshot chunks, then WAL from snapshot LSN.
- After all catch-up entries sent, send OP_replCatchUpDone.
Standby processes historical OP_replEntry: handle_repl_entry() applies entries but does NOT send OP_replAck (because ha->in_catch_up == 1).
Standby receives OP_replSnapshot: write chunks to snap/snap-<lsn>.tmp, verify CRC32 on final chunk, rename(2) to snap/snap-<lsn>.capnp. Validate total_size <= MAX_SNAPSHOT_BYTES BEFORE malloc.
Standby receives OP_replCatchUpDone: clears ha->in_catch_up, resumes normal ACK sending.
Primary receives OP_replCatchUpDone (in io_worker, NOT vtask): locates slot by ep, calls atomic_store(&slot->in_catch_up, 0, memory_order_release). Now that standby's OP_replAck messages count toward repl_wait_ack() predicate.

Critical: `OP_replCatchUpDone` in io_worker (NOT vtaskmgr)

Same reasoning as OP_replAck: the primary must clear in_catch_up immediately when OP_replCatchUpDone arrives, without waiting for a free vcpu. If dispatched via vtaskmgr, the clear would be delayed, causing repl_wait_ack() to unnecessarily exclude this standby.

Task P2-6: Tests — round-trip, sync ACK timeout, catch-up integration

Files

Action	File
Create	`src/controller/testsuite/test_repl_integration.c`
Modify	`src/controller/testsuite/test.c` (register new test suites)
Modify	`src/controller/meson.build` (add new test files)

Test Coverage Targets

Scenario	Test
Broadcast reaches all standbys	`test_broadcast_fan_out_all_standbys`
Sync round-trip: WAL write → broadcast → ACK → unblock	`test_sync_repl_round_trip`
Sync timeout: no ACK → -ETIMEDOUT, client still gets response	`test_sync_repl_timeout_degraded_mode`
WAL_CHECKPOINT never broadcast	`test_checkpoint_not_replicated`
Role check: standby does not broadcast	`test_standby_does_not_broadcast`
Catch-up: standby joins with stale LSN → streams WAL	`test_catchup_wal_stream`
Catch-up: snapshot sent when WAL trimmed	`test_catchup_snapshot_then_wal`
Catch-up done: in_catch_up cleared on primary	`test_catchup_done_unlocks_wait_ack`
Trim LSN: in-catch-up standby uses join_applied_lsn	`test_trim_lsn_catchup_standby`
Disconnect trim delay: slot expiry at snap_interval_s	`test_trim_lsn_disconnect_expiry`
Decommission: replicator_remove_candidate zeroes slot	`test_decommission_clears_slot`
Worker join is async only: no sync block	`test_worker_join_uses_async`

P2.5 Note (Separate Track)

P2.5 (libxce smart discovery) is a parallel workstream. The client library code (P2.5-1 through P2.5-6) depends only on P1 and can be developed concurrently with P2. However, P2.5-7 (RegisterToBackend() in src/frontend/apiserver/backend/clib.go) should only ship alongside P2 — without P2 replication, a promoted standby has incomplete state and reconnecting the API server to it is misleading rather than helpful.

Do not include P2.5 work in P2 commits.

Summary: Sequence and Green-Gate Checks

P2-1  repl.h + repl.c structures, trim_lsn        → test_repl_unit.c
P2-2  apply_wal_entry, OP_replEntry dispatch       → test_repl_apply.c
P2-3  repl_wait_ack + ACK deadlock prevention      → test_repl_sync.c
P2-4  Wire broadcast into persist WAL paths        → test_repl_wire.c
P2-5  Standby catch-up + snapshot atomic write     → test_repl_catchup.c
P2-6  Integration: round-trip, timeout, catch-up   → test_repl_integration.c

Each step's tests must be green (make test) before proceeding.

Invariants Checklist (Cross-Cutting)

assert(type != WAL_CHECKPOINT) at top of persist_wal_async() and persist_wal_sync_append() in debug builds
OP_replAck handled in io_worker read callback — NOT dispatched via vtaskmgr
OP_replCatchUpDone handled in io_worker read callback — NOT dispatched via vtaskmgr
repl_broadcast() checks am_i_primary(c) before sending
repl_wait_ack() excludes standbys with in_catch_up == 1
Snapshot: total_size <= MAX_SNAPSHOT_BYTES checked BEFORE malloc
Snapshot: temp file snap-<lsn>.tmp → rename(2) → snap-<lsn>.capnp
snap/ directory mode 0700 verified by persist_init() (both primary and standby)
HOOK_DETAIL_WORKER_JOIN → persist_wal_async() only (never sync)
Disconnect slot expiry: reset last_disconnected_lsn=0 when now >= last_disconnect_time + snap_interval_s
Decommissioned standby: last_disconnected_lsn[i] zeroed immediately in replicator_remove_candidate()
persist_start() logs WARN if sync_timeout_ms > 0 and vcpus < 16
ha_state_t.last_received_crc reset to WAL_CRC_NONE in ha_do_promote() (COH-5)
io_worker pool sized to at least MAX_STANDBYS + 2 — log at INFO in persist_start()
