Summary

  • stream bounded-fan-in spill merges directly into versioned, checksummed CSR shards
  • load persisted shard sets without expanding the complete base and preserve legacy CSR rebuild migration
  • expose source/spill/shard resource metrics and document publication, recovery, and operational bounds

Acceptance evidence

  • CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/private/tmp/graphforge-739-target cargo test -p graphforge-storage adjacency::tests --lib — 47 passed, 1 ignored scale-only companion
  • CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/private/tmp/graphforge-739-target cargo test -p graphforge-exec adjacency --lib — 17 passed
  • CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/private/tmp/graphforge-739-target cargo test -p graphforge-api adjacency_rebuild --lib — 2 passed
  • CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/private/tmp/graphforge-739-target cargo clippy -p graphforge-storage -p graphforge-exec -p graphforge-api --lib -- -D warnings
  • CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/private/tmp/graphforge-739-target make pre-push-fast

The bounded-build regression forces one-row runs, merge fan-in 2, and edge/node shard limits 2, then asserts measured peak shard entries and rows remain at or below those limits. Dedicated tests cover a high-degree row split across four shards, a million-ID sparse gap, boundary traversal, checksum and missing-shard failures, cancellation cleanup/prior-artifact preservation, deterministic parity, and legacy migration.

Closes #739

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds versioned, checksummed sharded CSR storage. Adjacency builds stream bounded shards with spill metrics. Execution loads sharded indexes and delta overlays while retaining legacy CSR compatibility.

Changes

Sharded CSR adjacency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sharded CSR format and persistence
crates/graphforge-storage/src/adjacency.rs
Adds manifests, checksums, bounded shard access, lazy reads, atomic publication, migration cleanup, and artifact validation.
Bounded adjacency build and metrics
crates/graphforge-storage/src/adjacency.rs, crates/graphforge-api/src/search_index.rs
Adds shard limits and merge fan-in controls. Streaming builds emit bounded shards and report source-row, spill, shard-count, and peak-shard metrics.
Sharded adjacency loading and overlays
crates/graphforge-exec/src/adjacency.rs
Adds sharded views, row lookup, iteration, node extents, persistent loading, delta overlays, and status detection. Legacy CSR loading remains supported.
Sharded artifact validation and recovery
crates/graphforge-storage/src/adjacency.rs, crates/graphforge-exec/tests/persistent_adjacency.rs
Updates coverage for shard boundaries, checksums, caching, repair, migration, corruption, cleanup, metrics, and lazy recovery.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 7c094

This PR changes CSR persistence to use streamed, sharded indexes, but the current head can still exceed the intended memory bound, return adjacency data for incorrect nodes, or delete published artifacts during failure cleanup. These correctness, availability, and resource risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

380-382: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Shard limits ignore the instance memory policy.

chunk_rows above is derived from policy.memory_budget_bytes and capped. The three new fields use fixed storage defaults instead. AdjacencyBuildOptions::effective() clamps shard limits only to a minimum of 1, so it does not shrink them for a tight budget.

DEFAULT_CSR_SHARD_EDGES is 1,048,576 entries. One shard sink therefore retains roughly 24 MB of edge_ids, neighbor_ids, and offsets even on a small-budget instance.

Scale shard_max_edges from the budget and use the storage default as the upper cap, matching the chunk_rows treatment.

429-446: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

write_csr_shard re-reads each shard file only to hash it.

write_csr writes the file, then Line 438 reads the whole file back for sha256_hex. Every shard is therefore written once and read once more during a build.

Also note that write_csr now performs legacy manifest cleanup (Lines 804-807). That check runs for every shard file, where the sibling .csr.json can never exist. Consider extracting the Arrow encode-and-persist step into a helper that both write_csr and write_csr_shard call, so shard writing does not inherit the migration behavior and can hash the encoded bytes directly.

- Around line 800-808: Update the legacy write cleanup in persist_temp to read
the existing sharded manifest before deleting it, then best-effort remove the
manifest’s referenced shard_dir in addition to the manifest file. Preserve
successful writes when the manifest or shard directory is absent, while still
propagating failures from the primary manifest removal as currently handled.
- Around line 382-427: Update ShardedCsrWriter ownership tracking so Drop only
removes a directory created by the current writer: initialize owned_root in
create with the newly created root, retain it through finish without replacing
it when self.root changes to stable_root, and clear or disable ownership after
successful publication. Use owned_root in Drop instead of self.root, preserving
existing directories in the reuse branch when manifest persistence fails.
- Around line 1064-1070: Preserve compatibility for public AdjacencyBuildOptions
struct literals by avoiding required new fields in direct construction, or mark
the struct non-exhaustive and provide a builder/default-based construction path
that supplies shard_max_edges, shard_max_nodes, and merge_fan_in. Keep existing
downstream initialization usable while retaining the new configuration values.
- Around line 387-391: Update the stable_root handling in the shard publication
flow so an existing stable directory is validated before reuse; if it is
incomplete or corrupt, remove or replace it with the newly built self.root
directory rather than deleting the valid new shard. Ensure the published
manifest always points to a directory that ShardedCsrIndex::open accepts.
- Around line 192-240: Add a decoded, authenticated shard cache to
ShardedCsrIndex and make read_record_row reuse cached shards instead of
rereading, rehashing, and decoding per row. In
crates/graphforge-storage/src/adjacency.rs:149-175, update open to avoid
duplicate shard reads or retain authentication state for later access. In
crates/graphforge-storage/src/adjacency.rs:192-240, use the cache in
row/read_record_row. In crates/graphforge-storage/src/adjacency.rs:817-832,
change full expansion to iterate manifest.shards sequentially and append each
decoded shard rather than calling sharded.row for every node.

Apply the same fix in `@crates/graphforge-exec/src/adjacency.rs` around lines 394
- 408: Covers the executor's per-node row access that amplifies repeated shard
reads.

138-148: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Authenticate manifest routing metadata.

sha256 authenticates only shard bytes. It does not bind first_node, node_count, or record order. A modified manifest can remap a valid shard to another logical node while all shard checksums and aggregate counts remain valid.

The executor count guard in crates/graphforge-exec/src/adjacency.rs only detects changed global counts. Recompute the expected content-addressed shard directory identity from the manifest metadata and require it to match manifest.shard_dir before loading. Add a test that changes only a shard record first_node.

1836-1852: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Enforce a build-wide buffered-entry limit.

chunk_rows applies to each EntryGroup, not to the build. With many relation types, every relation can retain up to chunk_rows - 1 entries while the union group continues to spill.

The retained entries can therefore grow with the full input size. memory_budget_bytes only reduces the per-group threshold.

Track buffered entries or bytes across all groups, and flush groups when the build-wide limit is reached. Add a high-relation-cardinality test that verifies the global bound.

Authenticate the manifest placement metadata.

open authenticates each shard payload, but it does not bind first_node, node_count, or record order to an authenticated manifest identity. A changed csr.json can remap valid shard files without changing file or sha256.

For example, changing a later record to reuse an earlier first_node passes the current checks. row then combines entries from different logical source rows.

Recompute and verify the content-addressed shard_dir from the parsed manifest records before using it, or persist and verify a manifest checksum. Add a regression that changes only first_node and requires ShardedCsrIndex::open to fail.
