What Does This PR Do?

Gates Raft commit quorum and follower AppendEntries acknowledgments on fsync-durable persistence (RPO=0) — closes the window where a client-acknowledged write could be lost on correlated power loss before fsync.

Type:

  • Bug Fix (with test)

Why Is This Needed?

For bugs: calculate_majority_matched_index counted the leader's own log contribution using last_entry_id() (in-memory, not yet fsynced) instead of durable_index(), and followers ACKed AppendEntries before their own fsync completed. A write could reach a majority-looking commit index — and get acknowledged to the client — before enough replicas had actually synced it to disk. If those nodes lost power before their next fsync, the acknowledged write was gone.

Fix: leader quorum calculation, follower/learner ACK timing, and single-voter clusters (previously exempted, see fix #329) all now gate on durable_index. Net effect: write ack latency now includes fsync time on a quorum of replicas — this is the correctness/latency tradeoff every reference Raft implementation (etcd, hashicorp/raft, openraft, TiKV) pays for RPO=0; there's no way around it, only around making the wait itself cheap (see below).


Checklist

Required:

  • make test passes — not run in full this session; verified storage_buffered_raft_log module, single_voter_commit_test, follower_state_test/learner_state_test, forwarder tests, and cargo check --workspace --features __test_support individually. Run full make test before merge.
  • Added tests for new code
  • Commits squashed to 1-2 logical units — depends on how you commit the current diff

If changing APIs:

  • Updated relevant docs (CHANGELOG, throughput-optimization-guide, customize-storage-engine, example/bench TOML configs)
  • Explained why complexity is justified (see Reviewer Notes)

Testing

How tested:

  • Unit tests: quorum-durability (leader contributes durable_index not last_entry_id), single-voter commit path, PendingAck withhold/release (same-threshold dedup, multi-threshold boundary, role-transition drop-safety), election-eligibility invariant (still reads in-memory log, not durable_index).
  • Integration tests: gRPC forwarder doesn't block a ready response behind a pending one (real stream_append_entries call, not reimplemented); real FileStorageEngine crash + reopen composed with real quorum math — an index the quorum calc says is safe to ack survives a real crash.
  • Manual testing: none.

For bug fixes:

  • Added test that fails without this fix — test_single_voter_commit_uses_durable_not_last_entry_id and test_quorum_uses_durable_index_not_last_entry_id both fail against the old (last_entry_id) behavior.

Does This Follow d-engine's Principles?

  • Solves a real problem for most users — RPO=0 is a correctness guarantee, not an edge case
  • Keeps implementation simple — no new protocol fields; PendingAck reuses the existing pending_client_writes/BTreeMap pattern already on the leader side
  • Doesn't bloat the API surface — one config rename (max_pending_append_responses), net removal of a dead config option (PersistenceStrategy)

Reviewer Notes

Focus areas:

  • role_state.rsPendingAck withhold/release logic in handle_append_entries_request_workflow / handle_log_flushed.
  • leader_state.rs:1346-1353 — single-voter branch now commits to durable, reversing the perf-driven revert from fix fix: leader commits using in-memory index instead of durable index, risking data loss #329 (deliberate, see ADR referenced in ticket).
  • grpc_raft_service.rsstream_append_entries forwarder is a structural rewrite (two-task strict-FIFO → single-task FuturesUnordered), not just a small patch; needed because withheld ACKs would otherwise head-of-line block a ready response behind a pending one.

Known, deliberately deferred (not blocking): proving "a non-durable entry is genuinely lost on a real crash" needs a deterministic gate hook on FileStorageEngine that doesn't exist yet — attempted and reverted this cycle after confirming it's a dead end with the current append_entries() design (blocks the caller until persist_entries() returns, which already writes to the real file). Left as an open follow-up, not a gap in this PR's own correctness.

Estimated review complexity:

  • Deep (> 300 lines) — 66 files, ~1160/560 lines changed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Acknowledged writes now wait for durable storage, improving protection against power loss.
    • AppendEntries responses can complete as soon as ready, reducing delays caused by earlier pending responses.
    • Startup logs now estimate Raft log memory usage and warn about high consumption.
    • Excessive log lag is reported through metrics and elevated diagnostics.
  • Changed

    • Persistence configuration is simplified to use flush policy settings.
    • The response-capacity setting is now named max_pending_append_responses.
  • Documentation

    • Guides, examples, and changelog entries were updated for the new durability and configuration behavior.

…rsisted index, fix purge order

- FsyncCoordinator generation-fences against truncation races
- remove_range clamps durable_index/persisted_index post-truncation
- fix purge ordering relative to durable_index advance
- fix flaky snapshot_transfer_does_not_block_apply_embedded test:
  `since` baseline was captured after the 80-entry write loop, racing
  against the async snapshot+purge task that can complete mid-loop
… (RPO=0)

- Leader's quorum contribution now uses durable_index, not last_entry_id
  (including single-voter clusters, which previously fell back to
  last_entry_id per fix #329 — RPO=0 is now mandatory there too).
- Follower/learner AppendEntries ACKs are withheld until the node's own
  durable_index catches up (new PendingAck, released on LogFlushed).
- Rewrote the gRPC AppendEntries forwarder (FuturesUnordered, no strict
  FIFO) to remove the head-of-line blocking that withheld ACKs would
  otherwise cause; added stuck-send detection (error log + metric).
- Renamed  → ;
  removed the dead single-variant / config
  and its example/bench TOML references.
- Test coverage: quorum-durability unit tests, pending-ack dedup/boundary/
  role-transition-drop-safety, forwarder ordering end-to-end, and a real-
  disk crash + quorum composition test.
- Updated CHANGELOG and the throughput-optimization-guide for the new
  ack-latency-not-data-loss framing.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change makes acknowledged Raft writes depend on validated fsync durability. It delays data-bearing AppendEntries acknowledgments, uses durable_index for quorum progress, fences stale fsync results after truncation, and updates streaming, configuration, tests, documentation, examples, and release artifacts.

Changes

Durable replication and storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Durable AppendEntries acknowledgments
d-engine-core/src/raft_role/*
Followers and learners retain successful AppendEntries responses until their durable index reaches the claimed index. Pending responses close when role state is dropped.
Validated fsync and quorum progress
d-engine-core/src/event.rs, d-engine-core/src/raft.rs, d-engine-core/src/storage/*, d-engine-core/src/raft_role/leader_state.rs
Fsync completion events carry an index and term. The log validates both before advancing durable_index. Quorum and single-voter commit paths use durable state. Truncation clamps the watermark and fences stale fsync results.
Validation and integration coverage
d-engine-core/src/*test*, d-engine-server/tests/storage_buffered_raft_log/*
Tests cover delayed acknowledgments, quorum durability, crash recovery, truncation races, content validation, replacement-range fsync, and updated fsync completion handling.

Streaming and configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded completion-order streaming
d-engine-server/src/network/grpc/*, d-engine-core/src/config/raft.rs
stream_append_entries uses bounded concurrency and forwards ready responses without strict FIFO head-of-line blocking. The capacity setting is renamed to max_pending_append_responses.
Persistence configuration migration
d-engine-core/src/config/raft.rs, */config/*.toml, */tests/*
PersistenceStrategy and max_buffered_entries are removed. Persistence configuration retains flush_policy and shutdown_timeout_ms.

Supporting artifacts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation, examples, and release metadata
CHANGELOG.md, d-engine/src/docs/*, examples/*, benches/*, .dockerignore
Configuration examples and documentation describe fsync-backed acknowledgments and the renamed capacity setting. Docker inputs, example builds, benchmark artifacts, and dependency metadata are updated.
Diagnostics and startup configuration
d-engine-core/src/state_machine_handler/snapshot_policy/log_size.rs, d-engine-server/src/node/builder.rs, d-engine-core/src/watch/mod.rs
Snapshot lag diagnostics now emit metrics and thresholded warnings or errors. Startup logs estimate Raft log memory usage. The WatchConfig example includes heartbeat_interval_ms.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 55970

The change makes acknowledged Raft writes wait for durable quorum persistence, improving crash safety, but unresolved streaming availability, configuration, ACK-correlation, and durability-test-coverage concerns should be addressed before merge.

Finish the RaftLog durability-documentation migration.

MemFirst and DiskFirst still name the removed PersistenceStrategy variants. The same contract tells leaders to respond to AppendEntries, but followers and learners send those success responses and this PR now delays them until durable_index() reaches the claimed index. Update both sections to document the actual API and acknowledgment roles.

646-659: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Rename this helper, or make the durability mode explicit.

Every other not_durable_* constructor in this file sets is_write_durable() == false. This one calls configure_durable, which sets is_write_durable() == true. With that setting, FsyncCoordinator::run_until_caught_up skips flush() and advances durable_index without a physical fsync. A future durability test that reaches for a not_durable_* helper would therefore get the opposite behavior from the name.

The current callers (process_crash_safety_test.rs, persisted_index_clamp_test.rs) do not assert on fsync behavior, so no test is wrong today. Consider durable_gated_persist as the name, and reuse the existing write body instead of duplicating configure_persist_entries_success.

Both gated-mock fence tests sequence the interleaving with fixed sleeps and never assert that it happened. Each test needs a specific operation to be blocked on the gate when the next step runs. A fixed 50 ms sleep is the only thing establishing that. If the machine is loaded and the gate is not reached in time, the stale operation no longer races the truncation, and the final assertion passes without exercising the fence. The Sender::send(()) calls do not detect the miss, because std::sync::mpsc send succeeds whenever the receiver is alive.

  • d-engine-core/src/storage/buffered_raft_log_test/persisted_index_clamp_test.rs#L149-L150: after the sleep, assert raft_log.last_entry_id() == 10 and raft_log.persisted_index.load(Ordering::Acquire) == 0, so a missed interleaving fails instead of passing silently.
  • d-engine-core/src/storage/buffered_raft_log_test/truncation_fsync_fence_test.rs#L72-L73: poll a flush-entered signal (for example the counter from a gated-and-counted mock) before truncating, instead of assuming the 50 ms sleep reached the gated flush().

🌐 Web query:

Does tokio mpsc::channel panic when buffer capacity is 0?

💡 Result:

Yes, the tokio::sync::mpsc::channel function will panic if the provided buffer capacity is 0 [1][2]. According to the official documentation, the buffer capacity must be at least 1 [1][3]. The function is explicitly documented to panic if the capacity is 0 or if the requested capacity is too large (exceeding the maximum allowed by the internal semaphore) [1][2].

Reject max_pending_append_responses == 0 in RaftConfig::validate().

When set to 0, RaftConfig::validate() accepts the value. stream_append_entries then passes it to Tokio's mpsc::channel, which panics because its capacity must be at least 1. The pending.len() < max_pending guard is also always false, so the stream cannot read requests. Add validation matching ReadActorConfig::validate().

Refresh the stored response on every insert, not only on first insertion.

pending.entry(idx).or_insert_with(...) keeps the OLD response when idx is already present. A stale PendingAck can occupy idx after a truncation (new, higher-term leader replaces this follower's un-fsynced tail) if the replacement tail later regrows the log to the same index. The next AppendEntries call that also claims idx then attaches its senders to the stale entry, and every sender — including the one for the current call — receives the OLD (lower-term) response when the entry is released.

Leader-side handle_append_result filters response.term < leader_term, so this typically surfaces as a silently dropped, legitimate ACK rather than a safety violation, but it still breaks the acknowledgment contract for the newer request.

Always overwrite response with the latest claim, regardless of whether the map entry pre-existed.

Three new test files keep their TDD red-phase docs while asserting the fixed behavior. Each file documents the defect as present ("Today it does not", "RED (today)") and then asserts the post-fix invariant. In a durability-critical area, the docs should state the invariant the test now enforces.

End the task after the inbound stream closes and all pending responses drain.

The loop no longer exits when the inbound side finishes. After inbound_open becomes false and pending empties, the read branch and the response branch are both disabled, so the task waits on shutdown.changed() alone. The task holds out_tx, so the returned ReceiverStream never completes and the response stream stays open.

Each closed or failed inbound stream then leaks one task plus one channel with max_pending capacity until node shutdown. Leader changes, peer restarts, and transient stream errors repeat this per connection.

Add an explicit termination check after the select! block.

Scope the purge signal to the selected leader.

Line 226 accepts purge_upto_index= from every node after since. The capture buffer is process-global. Another voter or a concurrent test can set purged before this leader crosses its purge boundary. The learner can then catch up through AppendEntries, so this test can pass without exercising InstallSnapshot.

Use a leader-specific state check or include a unique node or test identifier in the matched event.

1015-1015: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Stop scheduling fsync after the persisted watermark is durable.

Line 1015 folds persisted_index on every idle timer tick. persisted_index never decreases after fsync. A log with any persisted entry therefore submits another physical flush() at every interval, even after durable_index has caught up.

Only fold a persisted watermark that is greater than durable_index, or clear the pending watermark after confirmed durability.

     this: &Arc<Self>,

Wait for fsync completion instead of sleeping for a fixed duration.

Releasing flush_gate does not guarantee that FsyncCompleted is queued within 50 ms. On a delayed worker, the nonblocking drain receives no event and the durable-index assertion fails intermittently. Wait with a bounded timeout until the expected completion is received.

Register the regression test module.

content_validated_watermark_test.rs is not included in the test module tree. Rust will not compile or run these durability regression tests. Add the documented module declaration in d-engine-core/src/storage/buffered_raft_log.rs.

…egression)

I/O critical path. RPO=0 is already enforced downstream (quorum counts
durable_index; followers withhold ACKs until durable), so the wait is
redundant. Flame graph confirms the raft loop no longer blocks on persist.

storage:
- append_entries: insert_to_memory + write_notify.notify_one(), return
- drop IOTask::Persist + persisted_index (nothing reads log entries back from
  storage, so openraft's `submitted`-style watermark has no consumer here)
- IO thread: restore persist_pending_range SkipMap scan on write_notify
- unchanged: durable-quorum, follower withhold,
  FsyncCompleted -> try_advance_durable_index, fence_truncation
- module doc rewritten to match

observability:
- core.raft.snapshot.log_lag gauge; error! at 50x threshold (unbounded
  in-memory log growth = OOM)
- core.raft.log.{memory_max_index,durable_index,rpo_window} gauges
- startup line: in-memory Raft-log memory budget

tests:
- rm process_crash_safety_test (asserts the reverted "append_entries waits for
  storage" behavior; RPO=0 covered by quorum_durability_test + follower withhold)
- persisted_index_clamp_test -> durable_index_truncation_clamp_test; assertions
  re-pointed to durable_index, stale-persist-after-truncation scenario preserved
- rm drain_fsync_test::test_poisoned_rejects_queued_persist_task (guard already
  covered by test_poisoned_skips_replace_range)
- test_persist_entries_failure_poisons: restore main's async-poison shape

1085-1085: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Replace fixed delays with deterministic synchronization.

These sleeps do not prove that the IO thread reached the required state. A delayed IO thread can make the poisoning test assert too early. It can also let the truncation run before persist_entries() captured the old range, so the stale-persist test passes without exercising its intended interleaving.

Report this as a snapshot-trigger estimate, not a peak RAM budget.

max_log_entries_before_snapshot triggers snapshot work. It does not cap retained entries. If snapshot creation falls behind, LogSizePolicy allows lag to exceed this threshold, so the log can grow beyond this estimate. The message also incorrectly implies that purging occurs after every snapshot trigger.

Rename this value to a trigger-threshold estimate and state that it excludes snapshot backlog.
