Add tombstone/deleting safety net for stream deletion (#1763) - #1768
Add tombstone/deleting safety net for stream deletion (#1763)#1768prabhaks wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
Lays groundwork for background stream deletion: a durable tombstone marker outside the deleted prefix, an in-memory `deleting` flag on resident streams, and guards in the reload/query/info-endpoint code paths that reject a stream once either is set. Purely additive, no behavior change to the current delete handlers, since nothing yet sets a tombstone or the flag. Prepares for the actual async-delete rewrite in a follow-up PR.

Make the tombstone check cover resident streams and the load race.
check_or_load_stream returns true for a resident stream without calling is_tombstoned. A tombstone alone can therefore leave the resident stream accessible when deleting is false. The check in create_stream_and_schema_from_storage also occurs before listing, loading, and registration, so a concurrent tombstone can be missed. Coordinate tombstone admission with stream registration, or re-check it under deletion coordination. Add a test that keeps a stream resident, writes its tombstone, and expects rejection without setting deleting.

Enforce deletion at the write boundary.
validate_stream_for_ingestion checks is_deleting before request processing, but Stream::push does not check it. If mark_deleting runs after validation, the resident Arc<Stream> still writes to memory and disk. Coordinate mark_deleting and push with one lock and return a deletion error from push; a second unsynchronized boolean check can still race.

Preserve deleting when metadata is replaced.
mark_deleting is documented as monotonic, but Stream::set_metadata replaces the whole LogStreamMetadata value. A later reload with deleting: false clears the flag, so is_deleting() becomes false while deletion continues. Preserve the existing flag in set_metadata, or store deletion state outside reloadable metadata.
Proposed fix
pub async fn set_metadata(&self, updated_metadata: LogStreamMetadata) {
- *self.metadata.write().expect(LOCK_EXPECT) = updated_metadata;
+ let mut metadata = self.metadata.write().expect(LOCK_EXPECT);
+ let deleting = metadata.deleting || updated_metadata.deleting;
+ *metadata = updated_metadata;
+ metadata.deleting = deleting;

…erable list_dirs_relative only surfaces child directories on every backend (S3/GCS/Azure via list-with-delimiter's common_prefixes, LocalFS via read_dir + is_dir), never leaf objects. A tombstone stored as a bare key named after the stream was therefore invisible to any future scan that needs to discover tombstoned streams rather than check one known name at a time. Move the marker one level deeper, under a directory named after the stream, and add list_tombstoned_streams for that scan.

…discovery set_metadata replaced the whole LogStreamMetadata wholesale, so a reload racing a delete (e.g. a schema update landing after mark_deleting()) could silently clear the deleting flag back to false despite it being documented as monotonic. Now ORs it in instead of overwriting. list_tombstoned_streams trusted list_dirs_relative's raw directory listing as proof of a marker's existence, but a directory can exist under the tombstone root without the marker itself (e.g. an interrupted write). Each candidate is now re-verified with is_tombstoned before being reported. list_old_streams (unused elsewhere in this codebase, but kept consistent with list_streams) didn't exclude TOMBSTONE_ROOT_DIRECTORY, so dir_with_old_stream would treat it as a corrupt stream directory the same way list_streams did before the earlier fix.
check_or_load_stream's resident-stream fast path doesn't itself check is_tombstoned (flagged in CodeRabbit's review of parseablehq#1768), so a concurrent request on the same node could slip through in the window between the tombstone becoming durable and mark_deleting() actually running. Moving mark_deleting() before the tombstone write, with no await point in between, closes that window entirely for the initiating node. Cross-node propagation is still bounded by the existing fan-out push and self-heal, not synchronous -- that's an accepted, already-documented limitation of this design, not something this reorder attempts to fix.

@parmesant cam you review this scaffolding, the actual change is in #1770 which I am still testing, and probably need your help too! |

Summary
First of two PRs toward fixing #1763 (deletion of large datasets takes a while). This PR only lays the safety-net groundwork so a later PR can make stream deletion asynchronous without races. It does not change the behavior of the current delete handlers, since nothing here actually starts writing a tombstone or setting the
deletingflag yet.TOMBSTONE_ROOT_DIRECTORY(.tombstones) plustombstone_path/is_tombstonedhelpers in the storage layer. The tombstone lives outside the{tenant}/{stream}prefix that a bulk stream delete walks, so a mid-deletion crash can't lose the marker.LogStreamMetadata.deleting(transient, in-memory only) andStream::mark_deleting/is_deleting.create_stream_and_schema_from_storage, so a concurrent lazy reload can't resurrect a stream that's mid-deletion.is_deleting()check increate_streams_for_distributedand in thelogstreaminfo/schema/stats endpoints, so an already-resident stream flaggeddeletingis rejected instead of served.PostError::StreamBeingDeleted-> 409 Conflict, checked invalidate_stream_for_ingestion..tombstonesadded to bothlist_streams()implementations' directory-exclusion filters.The actual behavior change (tombstone-then-background-delete rewrite of the delete handlers, restart recovery, ingestor self-heal) is scoped as a follow-up PR once this lands, since it needs live-cluster validation that this additive piece doesn't.
