# Protocol Anti-Patterns in Distributed Storage Systems
Date: 2026-04-09
Status: reference document
## Purpose
This document catalogs recurring protocol anti-patterns found in distributed
storage systems. Each anti-pattern is defined, then illustrated with concrete
cases from real codebases: SeaweedFS (upstream object store), SeaweedFS sw-block
(block storage extension), Ceph RADOS, and DRBD.
The goal is to provide a reusable reference for protocol review and design
decisions. When a new protocol change is proposed, check it against this list.
---
## A1: Heartbeat Timing Defines Recovery Semantics
**Definition**: A timer or heartbeat interval directly determines a semantic
outcome (node death, volume reassignment, recovery type) without collecting
independent facts.
**Why it is wrong**: Heartbeat is transport-layer liveness observation. It
measures "when did I last hear from you," not "what is your data state." Using
it as the sole input for semantic decisions conflates observation latency with
data truth.
**Correct principle**: Timers trigger observation. Facts determine semantics.
### Case: SeaweedFS upstream — dead node detection
`topology/volume_location_list.go:69-86`
When `LastSeen < freshThreshHold` (hardcoded 60 seconds), the node is removed
from volume location lists. When the heartbeat gRPC stream drops
(`master_grpc_server.go:67-101`), the defer block immediately unregisters the
node and marks all volumes unavailable.
A 60-second network hiccup causes immediate volume unavailability. No probe,
no corroboration, no fact collection. One missed heartbeat cycle = topology
change.
### Case: SeaweedFS sw-block — fast replica rejoin missed
When a replica restarts faster than the master's heartbeat detection (~5
seconds), the master never detects the disconnect. No `failoverBlockVolumes`
fires, no `recoverBlockVolumes` fires, no primary refresh is sent. The
primary's shipper holds a dead TCP connection and the volume stays degraded
indefinitely.
The system's recovery depends on the *timing* of the restart relative to the
heartbeat cycle, not on the *fact* of the restart.
### Case: Ceph — OSD flapping storms
Early Ceph used OSD heartbeat timeout (20s default) as the trigger for PG
peering. Network congestion caused heartbeat delays without actual OSD failure,
leading to "flapping" — OSDs bouncing between up and down, triggering
unnecessary recovery storms that made congestion worse.
Fix: Ceph separated heartbeat (liveness signal) from PG peering (data-plane
fact collection). The monitor marks a node down, but PG peering independently
collects `pg_info` from all OSDs before deciding recovery. The
`osd_heartbeat_grace` and `mon_osd_min_down_reporters` tuning knobs are
artifacts of this evolution.
### Case: DRBD — ping timeout triggers resync
DRBD's `ping-timeout` and `connect-int` timers originally drove state
transitions directly. A slow network caused DRBD to declare the peer dead and
start resync — but the peer was alive, just slow.
Fix: DRBD 8.4+ added fencing — you need an external fencing agent to confirm
death before split-brain resolution proceeds. The timer triggers the check;
the fencing agent provides the fact.
### Fix pattern
```
Timer fires → trigger probe/observation
Probe collects bounded facts (R, S, H, epoch, endpoint)
Facts determine semantic action (no-op, catchup, rebuild, promote)
```
---
## A2: Transport Failure Directly Defines Recovery Type
**Definition**: A single transport-layer error (TCP reset, write timeout, dial
failure) directly triggers a semantic state change (rebuild required, volume
degraded, write failed) without distinguishing transient from permanent failure.
**Why it is wrong**: Transport failure and data-plane recovery are different
truth domains. A TCP reset means "I cannot reach you right now," not "your data
is divergent and you need a full rebuild."
**Correct principle**: Transport failure changes reachability truth. Recovery
type requires bounded data-plane facts.
### Case: SeaweedFS upstream — one replica failure fails entire write
`topology/store_replicate.go:73-137`
`DistributedOperation` fans out writes to all replicas in parallel. If ANY
replica returns an error, the entire write fails and returns error to the
client. No distinction between:
- Transient network hiccup (retry would succeed)
- Replica disk full (permanent, needs different handling)
- Replica truly unreachable (degrade and continue)
A single TCP error from one replica out of three fails the write for the
client.
### Case: SeaweedFS sw-block — Ship() 3s deadline causes NeedsRebuild
The WAL shipper's `Ship()` sets a 3-second write deadline on the TCP
connection. Under sustained qd=16 writes, the replica couldn't drain the TCP
buffer fast enough. The deadline fired, `markDegraded()` was called, and
subsequent WAL recycling made the gap unrecoverable — escalating to
NeedsRebuild.
A 3-second TCP write timeout caused a full 1GB rebuild. The transport timeout
was over-interpreted as a semantic failure.
### Case: DRBD — TCP drop triggers full resync
In DRBD 8.x, a single TCP connection failure could trigger a full resync. The
activity log bitmap was supposed to track only changed blocks, but connection
drops during heavy I/O could corrupt the bitmap tracking, causing a full resync
of the entire device.
Fix: DRBD 9 introduced quorum — transport failure alone doesn't trigger resync.
You need quorum loss (confirmed by multiple paths) before the system decides
the peer needs rebuilding.
### Case: Ceph — transport loss vs acting set change
Ceph's PG peering distinguishes transport loss from acting set changes.
A transport failure moves the OSD out of the acting set, but the PG doesn't
start recovery until peering collects actual data-plane facts (pg_info
exchange). Transport loss changes reachability; recovery requires facts.
### Fix pattern
```
Transport error → mark reachability lost
Keep probing last known endpoint (harmless retries)
When reachable again → collect facts (R, S, H)
Facts determine: no recovery, catchup, or rebuild
```
---
## A3: Ack Arrival Defines Terminal Success
**Definition**: An acknowledgment message (ack, barrier response, completion
signal) is treated as terminal success before the full protocol round-trip
closes. The system announces success, then discovers the operation is not
actually complete.
**Why it is wrong**: Observed completion is not the same as closed recovery
authority. An ack means "the remote side received and processed your request."
It does not mean "all side effects are complete, all cleanup is done, and the
system is in a consistent terminal state."
**Correct principle**: Terminal success is emitted only after executor/session
closure completes, not on ack arrival.
### Case: SeaweedFS sw-block — double event on rebuild completion
The remote rebuild ack callback emitted `SessionCompleted` immediately on
receiving `SessionAckCompleted` from the replica. The V2 core transitioned to
`publish_healthy`. Then the executor's cleanup path encountered a "sender
stopped" error and emitted `SessionFailed`, knocking the mode back to
`degraded`. Two contradictory terminal events from the same operation.
Root cause: ack arrival was treated as terminal truth, but the executor was
still unwinding.
Fix: Ack updates observed facts only. Terminal success is emitted after
executor/session closure succeeds.
### Case: SeaweedFS upstream — local write before replica ack
`topology/store_replicate.go:49-64`
The primary writes locally first, then replicates to remote locations. If local
write succeeds but remote replication fails, the primary has data the replicas
don't. There is no reconciliation mechanism. The write is partially committed.
If the client connection drops after local write but before replication error
is returned, the client may see success (from a previous response) while the
replicas don't have the data.
### Case: Ceph — committed before fsync
Ceph had a bug where the primary OSD declared a write "committed" after
receiving replica acks, but the replica crashed before fsyncing. The fix was
`min_size` enforcement — the write isn't committed until the required number
of replicas confirm durable persistence via journal/WAL fsync.
### Fix pattern
```
Ack arrives → update observed facts (progress, achieved LSN)
Do NOT emit terminal success yet
Executor completes cleanup (sender close, session close)
Then emit terminal success
```
---
## A4: Event Ordering Determines Semantics
**Definition**: The same set of facts produces different semantic outcomes
depending on which event arrives first. Two orderings of the same events lead
to different recovery paths or different final states.
**Why it is wrong**: If the system has the same facts, it should make the same
decision. Event order should affect convergence latency, not semantic result.
**Correct principle**: Same facts, same decision, regardless of arrival order.
### Case: SeaweedFS sw-block — NeedsRebuildObserved removes sender before rebuild starts
`handleReplicaProbeResult` calls `applyCoreEvent(NeedsRebuildObserved)` which
emits `InvalidateSessionCommand`. The command removes the sender's session
from the orchestrator registry. Then `installSession` tries to re-create it,
and `RebuildStarted` fires. But by the time the first ack arrives, a
registry reconciliation (triggered by `syncProtocolExecutionState` inside
`applyCoreEvent`) has removed the sender again.
The sender survives or dies depending on the exact ordering of:
1. InvalidateSessionCommand dispatch
2. installSession ProcessAssignment
3. syncProtocolExecutionState reconciliation
4. First ack arrival
Different timings of these four events produce different outcomes (rebuild
succeeds or fails with "sender not found").
### Case: SeaweedFS upstream — volume growth race
`topology/volume_growth.go:288-349`
Concurrent `Assign` requests race on volume slot reservation. Thread A
reserves node1+node2+node3. Thread B sees node3 full (A got it), fails, and
releases its reservations. Under high concurrency, different request ordering
produces different capacity decisions.
### Case: Ceph — PG peering collects all facts first
Ceph's solution to this anti-pattern: the PG peering state machine has
`GetInfo` and `GetLog` states that wait for responses from ALL peers before
advancing to `Active`. Event order within the collection phase doesn't matter
because no decision is made until all facts are present.
### Case: Raft — log position, not arrival order
The Raft consensus algorithm is the canonical solution. All decisions are based
on log position (term + index), not arrival order. If two messages carry the
same log position information, the same decision is made regardless of which
arrives first.
### Fix pattern
```
Collect all required facts before making decisions
Use monotonic identifiers (epoch, LSN, sessionID) to order facts
Decision function: f(facts) → action (deterministic, no ordering dependency)
R >= H → no recovery
R >= S → catchup
R < S → rebuild
```
---
## A5: Projection Drives Control Truth
**Definition**: A derived status field (mode, health, state label) is read
back as input to control decisions. The projection is supposed to be a report
of truth, but it becomes a hidden control input that creates feedback loops.
**Why it is wrong**: Projection must be derived only. When a derived field
is used as input, the system creates a circular dependency: state determines
projection, projection determines state.
**Correct principle**: Projection reports truth. It must never create truth.
### Case: SeaweedFS upstream — ReadOnly status drives assignment
`topology/volume_layout.go:267-271`
Volume `ReadOnly` status (self-reported by the volume server) directly controls
whether the master adds the volume to the writable list and whether it is
eligible for new write assignments. The master has no independent verification.
If a volume server incorrectly marks itself readonly (bug, misconfiguration),
the master stops all writes to that volume. The volume server's self-reported
status becomes authoritative for the master's assignment decisions.
### Case: SeaweedFS upstream — volume compacting status
`topology/topology_vacuum.go:347-349`
The master skips vacuum for volumes marked readonly — but readonly is itself
derived from the volume server's report. A volume server can prevent vacuuming
by claiming readonly, even if the volume should be vacuumed.
### Case: Kubernetes — Pod phase feedback loop
Pod `status.phase` (Running, Pending, Failed) is supposed to be a derived
report. But many controllers use `status.phase` as input for reconciliation
loops, creating feedback cycles. The Kubernetes community has been migrating
toward `conditions` (explicit fact-based fields) instead of `phase` (derived
summary).
### Case: Ceph — PG state as recovery scheduler input
Ceph's PG `state` (active+clean, active+degraded) was used internally to
prioritize recovery scheduling. But `degraded` was itself derived from the
recovery state — creating a loop. Fix: the recovery scheduler works from
`pg_missing` (actual missing objects), not the PG state label.
### Fix pattern
```
Projection = f(facts) — pure derivation, no side effects
Control decisions read facts directly, not projections
If you find a control path reading a projection, refactor to read the
underlying fact instead
```
---
## A6: Timing Workaround States Accumulate in the Engine
**Definition**: New states, flags, or enum values are added to the semantic
engine to survive a specific race condition or timing issue. Over time, the
engine becomes a patch history rather than a semantic model.
**Why it is wrong**: Each workaround state increases the state machine's
surface area without adding semantic meaning. The state exists for timing
reasons, not because the problem space has a new distinction. Future developers
cannot tell which states are essential and which are workarounds.
**Correct principle**: New state enters the engine only if it expresses a new
semantic distinction that cannot be represented by existing dimensions.
### Case: SeaweedFS upstream — phantom volume server Counter
`data_node.go:24`
```go
Counter int // in race condition, the previous dataNode was not dead
```
When a VS reconnects before the old heartbeat stream's defer runs, two streams
exist for the same node. The `Counter` field tracks active streams and only
unregisters when it reaches 0. This is a timing workaround for the race
between stream closure and new stream registration. The comment explicitly
says "in race condition."
### Case: SeaweedFS upstream — reservation timeout
`topology/node.go:294`
```go
const reservationTimeout = 5 * time.Minute // TODO: make this configurable
```
Reservations are cleaned up after an arbitrary 5-minute timeout. This is a
workaround for failed volume creation that doesn't release its reservation.
The timeout exists because there is no proper completion/failure signal for
the reservation lifecycle.
### Case: Ceph — PG peering state explosion
Ceph's PG peering state machine grew from ~8 states in early versions to ~20+
states. Many intermediate states (`Stray`, `GetMissing`, `WaitUpThru`,
`Incomplete`) were introduced for specific race conditions between OSD restart
timing and monitor OSDMap propagation.
`WaitUpThru` exists solely because the monitor's OSDMap epoch update can
arrive before or after PG peering completes — it is a timing workaround state
that has persisted for over a decade.
### Case: DRBD — connection state proliferation
DRBD's original 4 connection states (StandAlone, Connecting, Connected,
Disconnecting) grew to include `NetworkFailure`, `Unconnected`, `Timeout`,
`BrokenPipe`, `TearDown` — many of which handle specific TCP failure modes
rather than semantic differences.
### Fix pattern
```
Before adding a new state, ask:
1. Does this express a new semantic distinction? (keep)
2. Or does it exist to survive a specific timing race? (reject)
If the answer is (2), fix the timing issue in the runtime layer
(retry, epoch comparison, idempotent processing) rather than adding
a new state to the semantic engine.
```
---
## A7: Transport Mechanics Leak Into the Semantic Engine
**Definition**: TCP connection management, retry logic, goroutine scheduling,
or wire protocol details appear inside the semantic state machine instead of
being handled by runtime adapters.
**Why it is wrong**: The semantic engine should process facts and produce
decisions. It should not know or care about TCP, gRPC, goroutines, or wire
formats. When transport mechanics leak in, the engine becomes coupled to a
specific runtime implementation and cannot be tested or reasoned about
independently.
**Correct principle**: The engine processes facts. Runtime adapters handle
transport.
### Case: SeaweedFS sw-block — sender registry as transport gate
The V2 engine's sender registry (`Orchestrator.Registry`) serves dual purpose:
semantic session tracking AND transport connection management. When
`InvalidateSessionCommand` fires, it nulls the sender's session (semantic)
and the same sender is used by the ack observation path to validate incoming
TCP frames (transport). The semantic invalidation kills the transport path.
This coupling caused the "sender not found" rebuild failure: the engine's
semantic state change (invalidate session) removed the transport path needed
by the rebuild coordinator.
### Case: Ceph — messenger abstraction
Ceph explicitly separates the semantic layer (PG peering state machine) from
the transport layer (msgr2 messenger). The PG state machine never directly
touches TCP connections. It produces messages that the messenger delivers.
Connection failures are reported to the state machine as facts, not as
transport errors.
### Fix pattern
```
Engine interface:
Input: facts (epoch, R, S, H, ack kind, session ID)
Output: decisions (no-op, catchup, rebuild, promote)
Runtime adapter:
Translates TCP events → facts
Translates decisions → TCP actions
Handles retry, timeout, connection lifecycle
The engine never imports net, io, or sync packages.
```

## Using This Document
When reviewing a protocol change:
1. Check if the change matches any anti-pattern above
2. If it does, ask: can the same goal be achieved without the anti-pattern?
3. Apply the "fix pattern" suggested for that anti-pattern
4. If no clean alternative exists, document why the exception is necessary
When designing a new protocol:
1. Separate identity truth (who), reachability truth (can I reach), recovery
truth (what data action), and execution (transport mechanics)
2. Ensure each truth domain has a single authority
3. Ensure timers trigger observations, never semantic decisions
4. Ensure same facts produce same decisions regardless of event order
5. Keep transport mechanics in runtime adapters, not the semantic engine

# SmartWAL Design Memo
Date: 2026-04-10
Status: design research
Scope: BlockVol write path, crash recovery, and replicated recovery
## 1. What SmartWAL Is
SmartWAL changes what the WAL carries. Instead of storing the full data
payload for every write, the WAL stores only a small sequencing/recovery
descriptor. The actual data goes directly to the extent store.
```
Current: WriteLBA(lba, data) → WAL(LSN, lba, data[4KB]) → flusher → extent
SmartWAL: WriteLBA(lba, data) → extent(lba, data[4KB]) → WAL(LSN, lba, checksum[32B])
```
The WAL becomes a metadata journal: ordered, durable, replayable, but small.
## 2. What SmartWAL Is Not
SmartWAL is not "skip the WAL." The WAL still exists. It still provides:
- Crash recovery ordering
- Durable commit proof
- Replication sequencing (LSN)
- Recoverability classification
SmartWAL changes the write encoding, not the recovery authority.
## 3. Why SmartWAL Matters for BlockVol
The current WAL carries full 4KB payloads. A 64MB WAL holds ~16K entries.
Under sustained qd=16 writes, the WAL fills in seconds. This creates:
1. WAL exhaustion under burst writes (the 30s dd_write timeout)
2. WAL retention tension (pin for replication vs recycle for space)
3. Catch-up vs rebuild forced by WAL recycling, not by actual data divergence
4. Flusher becoming the critical path (must copy data from WAL to extent
before WAL can recycle)
With SmartWAL, a 64MB WAL holds ~1M entries (64B each). WAL pressure
effectively disappears. The flusher is no longer needed as a data copier
(data already in extent). The retention problem vanishes because the WAL
is small enough to retain indefinitely.
## 4. The Algorithm
### 4.1 Write Path (Single Node)
```
WriteLBA(lba, data):
1. ALLOCATE extent space for lba (may be existing location or new CoW location)
2. WRITE data to extent at allocated location
3. BARRIER: fdatasync on extent fd — data is now durable on storage
4. WRITE WAL record: {LSN, epoch, lba, physical_offset, length, crc32(data)}
5. WAL record is in the WAL ring buffer (durable after next WAL fsync)
6. Return success to SCSI/iSCSI layer
SyncCache (SCSI SYNCHRONIZE CACHE):
1. fsync the WAL — all pending WAL records become durable
2. The SyncCache response proves: all writes up to this LSN are
both data-durable (step 3) and metadata-durable (this fsync)
```
### 4.2 Crash Recovery (Single Node)
```
Recovery:
1. Open extent file (data store). It may contain writes that completed
step 2-3 but not step 4 (data durable, no WAL record). These are
invisible — the WAL doesn't reference them, so they are harmlessly
overwritten later.
2. Open WAL. Find the last valid record (checksum-verified, contiguous
from WAL start or last checkpoint).
3. For each committed WAL record from oldest to newest:
a. Read data from extent at the physical_offset in the record.
b. Verify crc32 matches the WAL record's stored checksum.
c. If match: this write is recovered. Update the in-memory dirty
map / extent index.
d. If mismatch: DATA-BEFORE-METADATA INVARIANT VIOLATED. This means
the barrier at step 3 was ineffective. Log critical error. Mark
this LBA as damaged.
4. Rebuild allocator free-space from the extent index (not from a
persistent free-space map). Any blocks not referenced by the index
are free — this reclaims orphaned allocations from step 1-2 where
step 4 never completed.
5. Set nextLSN = last recovered LSN + 1.
6. Resume normal operation.
```
### 4.3 Write Path (Replicated)
```
WriteLBA on primary:
1-5. Same as single-node write path (data to extent, metadata to WAL)
6. SHIP to replica: {LSN, epoch, lba, data[4KB], crc32}
Note: the wire message carries the FULL data payload. SmartWAL
optimizes local WAL, not the replication wire. The replica needs
the data bytes.
7. Return success to SCSI layer (write-back: after step 5)
Ship to replica:
The shipper reads the data from the extent (not from the WAL) and
sends it to the replica over the data channel. The wire format is
unchanged from today.
On the replica:
1. Receive {LSN, epoch, lba, data, crc32} from the data channel
2. Write data to local extent at lba
3. Barrier: fdatasync on local extent
4. Write local WAL record: {LSN, epoch, lba, physical_offset, crc32}
5. The replica's WAL is also SmartWAL — small records only
Barrier (SyncCache / sync_all):
Primary sends BarrierReq(target_lsn) to replica via ctrl channel.
Replica verifies receivedLSN >= target_lsn, calls fdatasync on its
WAL, returns flushedLSN.
This proves: all entries up to flushedLSN are both data-durable and
metadata-durable on the replica.
```
### 4.4 Replicated Crash Recovery
```
Primary crashes and restarts:
1. Local recovery (section 4.2) — extent + WAL replay
2. Primary discovers its replicas via master assignment
3. Probe each replica:
a. Replica reports its flushedLSN = R
b. Primary's WAL start = S, head = H
c. If R >= S: WAL catch-up from R to H (small WAL records,
but data must be re-read from extent and re-shipped)
d. If R < S: extent-based delta recovery (LBA dirty map)
4. Catch-up or delta recovery completes → replica back to keepup
Replica crashes and restarts:
1. Local recovery (section 4.2) on replica
2. Replica reconnects to primary
3. Primary probes: replica's R vs primary's S and H
4. Same decision: WAL catch-up or extent delta
Key difference from current system:
- WAL holds ~1M entries instead of ~16K
- WAL recycling is rare (WAL is small, entries are tiny)
- Catch-up from WAL covers much longer outages
- Full rebuild becomes rare — only when WAL is truly exhausted
(days of accumulated writes, not seconds)
```
## 5. The Invariants
### I1: Data Before Metadata
The extent write (step 2) must be durable (fdatasync, step 3) BEFORE the
WAL record (step 4) is written. If this is violated, crash recovery finds
a WAL record pointing to unwritten or partially written extent data.
This is the #1 source of bugs in production SmartWAL implementations:
- Ceph BlueStore: early releases had missing barriers between extent write
and RocksDB metadata commit. Resulted in data corruption on power loss.
- ZFS ZIL: bug where indirect data blocks were referenced by ZIL records
before the data block's fdatasync completed. Fixed by adding explicit
flush between indirect write and ZIL record write.
- LVM thin: metadata journal entries referenced data blocks that were
not yet durable. Fixed by adding bio flush flags.
For BlockVol: the barrier is a single fdatasync call on the extent fd
between step 2 and step 4. This must never be elided, even under
performance optimization pressure.
### I2: WAL Record Atomicity
Each WAL record must be self-contained and checksummed. On recovery, any
record that fails its checksum is treated as not-written. All records
after a failed checksum are also discarded (preserving sequence order).
The WAL ring buffer already provides this via per-entry CRC. No change
needed for SmartWAL — the record format changes (smaller payload) but
the atomicity mechanism is the same.
### I3: Monotonic Sequence
WAL records have strictly increasing LSNs. On recovery, if a gap is
detected, all records after the gap are discarded. This prevents
a scenario where a later write is visible but an earlier write is lost.
### I4: Orphan Safety
Allocated-but-unreferenced extent blocks (data written but WAL record
not committed) must be harmlessly reclaimable. The allocator rebuilds
its free-space from the extent index at mount time.
For BlockVol with fixed-size 4KB blocks and a 1GB extent: the extent is
pre-allocated. There is no dynamic allocation. Orphaned writes are simply
blocks that will be overwritten by the next write to that LBA. No special
reclamation needed.
### I5: No In-Place Overwrite During Recovery
During recovery, if the WAL indicates LBA X was written, the recovery
process must not assume the current extent data at LBA X is correct.
It must verify via the CRC in the WAL record.
In normal operation, writes CAN overwrite in-place (same LBA, same
extent offset) because the WAL provides the recovery mechanism. But
during crash recovery, the extent may contain a partial write from a
crash during step 2. The CRC check detects this.
### I6: Replication Wire Carries Full Data
SmartWAL optimizes the LOCAL WAL, not the replication wire. The replica
needs the full data payload to apply the write. The shipper reads data
from the extent (not from the WAL) and ships it.
This means:
- The shipper must read from extent, not WAL (new behavior)
- The extent data at a given LBA must be stable while being shipped
(no concurrent overwrite to the same physical location during ship)
- The dirty map tracks which LBAs need shipping
### I7: Replica Applies Data Before WAL
On the replica, the received data must be written to the local extent
and fsynced BEFORE the local WAL record is written. The replica's crash
recovery must be able to distinguish "data received and durable" from
"data received but not durable." The local WAL record is the proof of
durability.
## 6. Gotchas and Mitigations
### G1: Barrier Cost
The fdatasync between extent write and WAL write adds latency on every
write. For a single 4KB write on NVMe SSD, fdatasync costs ~50-100us.
Mitigation: group commit. Batch multiple extent writes, issue one
fdatasync, then write all corresponding WAL records. The SyncCache
path already does group commit for the WAL fsync. Extend it to the
extent fdatasync.
```
Group commit with SmartWAL:
Accumulate N writes to extent (no barrier yet)
fdatasync extent (one barrier for N writes)
Write N WAL records
On SyncCache: fsync WAL
```
This amortizes the barrier cost across N writes. With qd=16, the
effective barrier cost per write is ~6us instead of ~100us.
### G2: Concurrent Read During Write
If a read arrives for an LBA that has been written to the extent (step 2)
but whose WAL record has not been committed (step 4), what should the
read return?
Answer: the new data. The extent is the source of truth for reads. The
WAL is only for crash recovery. A read after step 2 sees the new data
regardless of whether the WAL record exists yet.
This is consistent with write-back semantics: the write is "admitted"
after step 2, and reads see admitted data.
### G3: Crash Between Extent Write and WAL Write
If the system crashes after step 2-3 but before step 4:
- The extent has the new data at the LBA
- The WAL has no record of this write
- On recovery, the WAL doesn't know about this write
- The next write to this LBA will overwrite it
- If a replica has received this write (shipped between step 2 and crash),
the replica has data the primary lost
Mitigation: This is the same as the current system. In write-back mode,
a crash after WAL append but before fsync can lose the write. SmartWAL
does not change the durability contract — only SyncCache provides the
durable proof.
### G4: Shipper Reads Stale Extent Data
The shipper reads data from the extent for replication. If a second
write to the same LBA arrives between the first write and the shipper
reading the first write's data, the shipper may read the second write's
data instead.
Mitigation: The shipper should read the data at the time of the write
(inline with WriteLBA), not lazily from the extent later. This means
the ship path is:
```
WriteLBA:
1. Write data to extent
2. Barrier
3. Write WAL record
4. Ship(LSN, lba, data) ← data is the same buffer from step 1
```
The data buffer is passed directly to Ship, not re-read from extent.
This eliminates the stale-read race.
For the LBA dirty map based recovery path (catch-up from extent after
an outage), stale reads are handled differently: the primary freezes
a consistent snapshot (checkpoint) before reading extent data for the
delta transfer. The checkpoint LSN defines which data is authoritative.
### G5: WAL Wrap-Around With Small Records
With ~1M entries in a 64MB WAL, the WAL ring buffer wraps much more
slowly. But it still wraps eventually. When it does, old records must
be safe to overwrite.
Mitigation: the same recycling logic applies. A record can be recycled
when:
1. It has been fsynced (part of a durable SyncCache)
2. All replicas have confirmed receipt (if using WAL-based catch-up)
3. Or the replica uses LBA dirty map for catch-up (no WAL retention
needed for replication)
With LBA dirty map based recovery, condition 2 is eliminated. The WAL
recycles based only on condition 1 (local durability). This is the clean
model.
### G6: SmartWAL and the LBA Dirty Map Interaction
SmartWAL and LBA dirty map are complementary:
- SmartWAL eliminates WAL pressure (small records, huge capacity)
- LBA dirty map eliminates WAL retention for replication (catch-up from
extent, not from WAL)
Together:
- WAL does one job: local crash recovery sequencing
- Extent does one job: authoritative data store
- LBA dirty map does one job: per-replica catch-up tracking
- No tension between any of them
### G7: Replica Crash Recovery With SmartWAL
The replica also uses SmartWAL locally. On replica crash:
1. Replay local WAL records → verify extent data via CRC
2. Report flushedLSN to primary on reconnect
3. Primary sends delta (from flushedLSN to current) via extent reads
4. Replica applies delta, writes to local extent, writes local WAL records
5. Replica is caught up
The replica's local SmartWAL recovery is identical to the primary's.
The replication catch-up is identical to today except the source of
catch-up data is the extent (via dirty map) instead of the WAL.
### G8: Overwrite Ordering Under Concurrent Writers
If multiple SCSI commands target the same LBA range simultaneously:
```
Thread A: WriteLBA(100, dataA) → extent write → WAL(LSN=5, lba=100)
Thread B: WriteLBA(100, dataB) → extent write → WAL(LSN=6, lba=100)
```
The WAL ordering (LSN 5 before LSN 6) must match the extent ordering
(dataA before dataB). If Thread B's extent write completes first, the
extent has dataB, but Thread A's WAL record (LSN=5) references the same
physical location with a CRC of dataA. On recovery, the CRC mismatch
for LSN=5 indicates corruption.
Mitigation: WriteLBA must hold the per-LBA write lock through both
extent write and WAL record write. This ensures that for the same LBA,
extent writes and WAL records are in the same order. The existing ioMu
(or per-LBA lock in the dirty map) provides this.
### G9: Performance Implication of Extent-First Write
Current: WriteLBA → WAL append (sequential, fast) → return
SmartWAL: WriteLBA → extent pwrite (random, slower) → barrier → WAL append
The extent write is a random pwrite to a pre-allocated file. On NVMe SSD,
this is ~10-20us for 4KB. The WAL append is sequential. Adding the extent
pwrite before the WAL append increases per-write latency by ~10-20us.
Mitigation: This is offset by:
1. No flusher needed (data already in extent) — saves the copy
2. WAL is tiny — SyncCache fsync is faster
3. Group commit amortizes the barrier across N writes
4. The flusher was already doing pwrite to extent — we're just moving
it earlier in the pipeline
Net effect: similar or slightly better throughput, slightly higher
single-write latency, significantly better burst write behavior (no
WAL exhaustion).
## 7. Size Threshold
For BlockVol with 4KB block size, the threshold decision is simple:
- All writes are exactly 4KB (one block) or multiples of 4KB
- A 4KB data payload + 32B WAL record = 4096B + 32B overhead
- A metadata-only WAL record = 32-64B
At 4KB, the SmartWAL overhead is 99.2% savings per WAL entry.
There is no reason to inline 4KB payloads in the WAL.
Recommendation: ALL writes use SmartWAL (extent-first, metadata-WAL).
No inline path needed for block storage with fixed block size.
For comparison:
- ZFS ZIL threshold: 32KB (filesystem with variable record sizes)
- Ceph BlueStore: 4-16KB (object store with variable sizes)
- BlockVol: 4KB fixed — always SmartWAL
## 8. Implementation Phases
### Phase 1: Extent-first write path
- WriteLBA writes to extent before WAL
- WAL record format changes to metadata-only (LSN, lba, crc32, flags)
- Flusher becomes a checkpoint mechanism (periodic metadata snapshot)
instead of a data copier
- Crash recovery replays WAL records, verifies extent data via CRC
- All existing tests must pass with the new write path
### Phase 2: LBA dirty map for replication catch-up
- Per-replica bitmap: which LBAs changed since last confirmed position
- On catch-up: read dirty LBAs from extent, ship to replica
- WAL no longer retained for replication — recycles freely
- Catch-up and rebuild become the same operation (extent delta), just
different sizes
### Phase 3: Group commit for extent barrier
- Batch N extent writes, one fdatasync, N WAL records
- Amortize barrier cost across concurrent writes
- This is the performance optimization phase
## 9. Relationship to V3 Engine
SmartWAL is a data algorithm change, not an engine change. The V3 engine
should not know whether writes are WAL-inlined or extent-first. The engine
sees:
- RecoverabilityClass: inline | extent_referenced | snapshot_based
- DurabilityProof: WAL fsync LSN + barrier confirmation
- RecoveryDecision: no_recovery | catch_up | delta_rebuild | full_rebuild
SmartWAL changes how RecoverabilityClass is produced (by the storage
layer), but not how the engine uses it (for decisions).
Rule: SmartWAL changes write encoding and recoverability classes, but
must not change the core truth domains of V3.
## 10. Production References
| System | Pattern | Years in Production | Key Lesson |
|--------|---------|--------------------|-|
| Ceph BlueStore | Extent + RocksDB metadata journal | 6+ (since Luminous 2017) | Barrier bugs were the #1 corruption source |
| ZFS ZIL | Inline < 32KB, indirect >= 32KB | 15+ (since 2005) | Indirect block lifecycle must be explicit |
| LVM thin | Data device + metadata journal | 10+ (since kernel 3.2, 2012) | Metadata journal rebuild on mount is essential |
| DRBD | Activity log bitmap (no data WAL) | 20+ (since 2004) | Bitmap-only tracking is sufficient for block devices |
| PostgreSQL | Full-page images in WAL | 25+ (since 1996) | Opposite direction — but proves WAL atomicity matters |
The common lesson: the algorithm is well-understood and proven. The bugs
are in barrier enforcement and lifecycle management, not in the algorithm
design itself.

# SmartWAL Prototype Specification
Date: 2026-04-10
Status: prototype spec
Goal: prove crash stability on single node and two-node replication
## 1. Prototype Scope
Build a minimal SmartWAL implementation in `blockvol` that replaces the
current WAL-inline write path with extent-first writes. The WAL becomes
a metadata-only sequencing journal. Prove it works through crash tests.
NOT in scope: group commit optimization, LBA dirty map, V3 engine
integration, iSCSI/NVMe-oF, master assignment. This is pure storage
algorithm validation.
## 2. The Logical LSN Storage Model
WAL + extent together form a single logical LSN-ordered storage. Each
LSN maps to exactly one block write. The WAL provides ordering and
crash-recovery metadata. The extent provides the authoritative data.
```
Logical view:
LSN 1 → {lba=0x100, data=4KB} ← extent has data, WAL has metadata
LSN 2 → {lba=0x200, data=4KB}
LSN 3 → {lba=0x100, data=4KB} ← overwrites LSN 1 at same LBA
...
Physical layout:
Extent file: [block 0][block 1]...[block N] ← random access, data lives here
WAL file: [rec1: LSN=1,lba=0x100,crc=X][rec2: LSN=2,lba=0x200,crc=Y][...]
On crash recovery:
Replay WAL records → verify extent blocks via CRC → consistent state
```
## 3. WAL Record Format
```go
// SmartWALRecord is the metadata-only WAL entry.
// 32 bytes fixed size. No data payload.
type SmartWALRecord struct {
LSN uint64 // monotonic sequence number
Epoch uint64 // fencing epoch
LBA uint32 // logical block address (block index, not byte offset)
Flags uint8 // 0x01=write, 0x02=trim, 0x04=barrier_marker
_pad [3]byte
DataCRC32 uint32 // crc32 of the 4KB data block in extent
}
// Total: 8+8+4+1+3+4 = 28 bytes. Pad to 32 for alignment.
```
Compare to current: each WAL entry is 4KB+ (header + full data payload).
SmartWAL entry is 32 bytes. Ratio: 128:1 capacity improvement.
A 64MB WAL holds:
- Current: ~16K entries (4KB each)
- SmartWAL: ~2M entries (32B each)
## 4. Write Path
```go
func (v *BlockVol) WriteLBA(lba uint32, data []byte) error {
v.lbaMu.Lock(lba) // per-LBA lock (see invariant I8)
defer v.lbaMu.Unlock(lba)
// Step 1: write data to extent at LBA position
offset := int64(lba) * int64(v.blockSize)
if _, err := v.extentFD.WriteAt(data, offset); err != nil {
return err
}
// Step 2: compute CRC of the data we just wrote
crc := crc32.ChecksumIEEE(data)
// Step 3: append metadata record to WAL
lsn := v.nextLSN.Add(1)
rec := SmartWALRecord{
LSN: lsn,
Epoch: v.epoch,
LBA: lba,
Flags: FlagWrite,
DataCRC32: crc,
}
if err := v.wal.AppendRecord(rec); err != nil {
return err
}
// Step 4: mark LBA dirty in dirty map (for replication tracking)
v.dirtyMap.Mark(lba, lsn)
return nil
}
```
Note: NO fdatasync between extent write and WAL append in the fast path.
The barrier comes at SyncCache time (group commit). This is safe because:
- If crash before SyncCache: both extent write and WAL record are lost.
Consistent (write was never acknowledged as durable).
- SyncCache does: fdatasync(extent) → fdatasync(WAL) → ack.
After SyncCache: both extent and WAL are durable. Consistent.
This is the group-commit-by-default model. Individual writes are
write-back (fast, no barrier). SyncCache is the durability fence.
## 5. SyncCache (Durability Fence)
```go
func (v *BlockVol) SyncCache() error {
// Step 1: flush extent to disk
if err := v.extentFD.Sync(); err != nil {
return err
}
// Step 2: flush WAL to disk
// After this, all WAL records (and their referenced extent data)
// are durable.
if err := v.wal.Sync(); err != nil {
return err
}
return nil
}
```
The ordering matters: extent sync BEFORE WAL sync. This ensures that
when a WAL record is durable, the extent data it references is also
durable (Invariant I1).
## 6. Crash Recovery
```go
func (v *BlockVol) Recover() error {
// Step 1: scan WAL from start to find last valid record
records, lastValidLSN, err := v.wal.ScanValidRecords()
if err != nil {
return err
}
// Step 2: verify each record's extent data
var recovered, damaged int
for _, rec := range records {
if rec.Flags == FlagTrim {
// Trim: zero the block, mark as free
v.zeroBlock(rec.LBA)
recovered++
continue
}
// Read the extent data at this LBA
data := make([]byte, v.blockSize)
offset := int64(rec.LBA) * int64(v.blockSize)
if _, err := v.extentFD.ReadAt(data, offset); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("recovery: read lba %d: %w", rec.LBA, err)
}
// Verify CRC
actualCRC := crc32.ChecksumIEEE(data)
if actualCRC != rec.DataCRC32 {
// DATA-BEFORE-METADATA VIOLATION or torn write
// The WAL record is committed but extent data doesn't match.
//
// This happens when:
// a) Write-back mode: crash before SyncCache. The WAL record
// was in the ring buffer (not fsynced), but somehow survived
// (partial WAL page flush). The extent data was also not
// fsynced. One or both are torn.
// b) Bug: barrier ordering wrong in SyncCache.
//
// Recovery action: use the PREVIOUS version of this LBA.
// Since we replay in LSN order, and the CRC doesn't match,
// we skip this record. The extent may have stale data from
// an earlier write or zeros.
log.Printf("recovery: CRC mismatch at LSN=%d LBA=%d "+
"(expected=%08x actual=%08x) — skipping",
rec.LSN, rec.LBA, rec.DataCRC32, actualCRC)
damaged++
continue
}
recovered++
}
v.nextLSN.Store(lastValidLSN + 1)
log.Printf("recovery: %d records recovered, %d damaged, nextLSN=%d",
recovered, damaged, lastValidLSN+1)
return nil
}
```
### Recovery correctness argument
For writes acknowledged via SyncCache (durable):
- Extent was fsynced first, then WAL was fsynced
- Both are durable on disk
- CRC will match → record recovered correctly
For writes NOT acknowledged via SyncCache (write-back, in-flight):
- Case A: neither extent nor WAL reached disk → no WAL record found → write lost → correct (never acknowledged)
- Case B: extent reached disk but WAL didn't → no WAL record → write lost → correct (never acknowledged). Extent has "future" data that will be overwritten.
- Case C: WAL reached disk but extent didn't → WAL record found, CRC mismatch → record skipped → correct (write lost, never acknowledged). Extent has stale data.
- Case D: both reached disk (lucky flush) → CRC matches → record recovered → bonus recovery of unacknowledged write → safe (data was written, just not acked)
All cases are consistent. No data corruption possible.
## 7. WAL Ring Buffer Changes
The current WAL ring buffer stores variable-size entries (header + data).
SmartWAL entries are fixed 32 bytes. The ring buffer becomes simpler:
```go
type SmartWALBuffer struct {
fd *os.File
buf []byte // mmap'd ring buffer
capacity int // number of 32-byte slots
head atomic.Uint64 // next write position (slot index)
tail atomic.Uint64 // oldest valid position
synced atomic.Uint64 // last fsynced position
}
func (w *SmartWALBuffer) AppendRecord(rec SmartWALRecord) error {
slot := w.head.Add(1) - 1
idx := slot % uint64(w.capacity)
offset := idx * 32
rec.encode(w.buf[offset : offset+32])
return nil
}
func (w *SmartWALBuffer) Sync() error {
if err := w.fd.Sync(); err != nil {
return err
}
w.synced.Store(w.head.Load())
return nil
}
func (w *SmartWALBuffer) ScanValidRecords() ([]SmartWALRecord, uint64, error) {
// Scan from tail to head, validate each record's per-entry CRC
// (separate from data CRC — this CRC protects the WAL record itself)
...
}
```
The ring buffer is simpler because entries are fixed size. No
fragmentation, no partial-entry handling. Slot-based indexing.
## 8. Replication Integration
### 8.1 Ship Path
```go
func (v *BlockVol) ShipEntry(shipper *WALShipper, lsn uint64, lba uint32, data []byte) {
// data is passed from WriteLBA (same buffer, no re-read from extent)
entry := WALEntry{
LSN: lsn,
Epoch: v.epoch,
LBA: lba,
Data: data, // full 4KB payload on the wire
}
shipper.Ship(&entry)
}
```
The wire format is UNCHANGED. Replicas receive full data payloads.
SmartWAL is a local optimization.
### 8.2 Replica Apply Path
```go
func (v *BlockVol) ApplyReplicaEntry(entry *WALEntry) error {
v.lbaMu.Lock(entry.LBA)
defer v.lbaMu.Unlock(entry.LBA)
// Write data to local extent
offset := int64(entry.LBA) * int64(v.blockSize)
if _, err := v.extentFD.WriteAt(entry.Data, offset); err != nil {
return err
}
// Write local SmartWAL record
crc := crc32.ChecksumIEEE(entry.Data)
rec := SmartWALRecord{
LSN: entry.LSN,
Epoch: entry.Epoch,
LBA: entry.LBA,
Flags: FlagWrite,
DataCRC32: crc,
}
return v.wal.AppendRecord(rec)
}
```
The replica also uses SmartWAL locally.
### 8.3 Barrier on Replica
```go
func (v *BlockVol) BarrierSync(targetLSN uint64) (uint64, error) {
// Same as SyncCache: extent first, then WAL
if err := v.extentFD.Sync(); err != nil {
return 0, err
}
if err := v.wal.Sync(); err != nil {
return 0, err
}
return v.wal.SyncedLSN(), nil
}
```
## 9. Prototype Test Plan
### 9.1 Single Node Crash Tests
```
Test 1: Basic crash recovery
Write 1000 blocks → SyncCache → kill -9 → recover → verify all 1000 blocks
Expected: all CRCs match, all data correct
Test 2: Crash before SyncCache
Write 1000 blocks → (no SyncCache) → kill -9 → recover
Expected: 0 to 1000 records recovered (whatever flushed to disk)
All recovered records have matching CRCs
No corruption
Test 3: Crash during SyncCache
Write 1000 blocks → start SyncCache → kill -9 mid-fsync → recover
Expected: some records recovered (up to the fsync progress point)
All recovered records have matching CRCs
Test 4: Overwrite crash
Write block at LBA=100 (dataA) → SyncCache
Write block at LBA=100 (dataB) → kill -9 before SyncCache → recover
Expected: LBA=100 contains dataA (the durable version)
The WAL may or may not have the LSN for dataB, but if it does,
CRC will match dataB (both were in write-back cache and flushed
together, or neither was)
Test 5: WAL wrap-around
Write enough blocks to wrap the WAL ring buffer twice
SyncCache periodically
Kill -9 → recover
Expected: all synced data intact, WAL tail correctly advanced
Test 6: Sustained burst crash
fio randwrite 4k qd=16 for 10 seconds → kill -9 → recover
Expected: recovery completes without corruption
Some recent writes may be lost (not synced)
All recovered writes have matching CRCs
Test 7: Mixed read-write crash
Concurrent reads and writes → kill -9 → recover
Expected: reads never see corrupted data
Recovery produces consistent state
```
### 9.2 Two-Node Replication Crash Tests
```
Test 8: Primary crash, replica has all data
Primary: write 1000 blocks → SyncCache → barrier(replica) → kill -9 primary
Replica: should have all 1000 blocks durable
Recover primary → compare extent data with replica
Expected: identical
Test 9: Primary crash, replica partially caught up
Primary: write 1000 blocks → SyncCache → ship 500 → kill -9 primary
Replica: has 500 blocks
Recover primary → primary has 1000, replica has 500
Expected: delta = 500 blocks. Catch-up from primary's extent.
Test 10: Replica crash during receive
Primary: write 1000 blocks → SyncCache → ship all → kill -9 replica
Recover replica → replay local WAL → verify extent
Expected: some entries recovered (those that were SyncCached on replica)
Unrecovered entries will be re-shipped by primary on reconnect
Test 11: Both crash simultaneously
Primary + replica: write 500 blocks → SyncCache on both → barrier OK
Write 500 more → kill -9 both before SyncCache
Recover both → compare
Expected: both have the first 500 durable. Second 500 may be
partially recovered on either node. No corruption.
Test 12: Failover data integrity
Primary: write 1000 blocks at known LBAs with known data → SyncCache
Barrier succeeds (replica has all 1000 durable)
Kill primary
Promote replica to primary
Read all 1000 blocks from new primary
Expected: all data matches original writes (byte-for-byte)
Test 13: Rebuild after SmartWAL gap
Primary: write 10000 blocks → SyncCache → WAL wraps (old records recycled)
Replica was down during writes
Replica reconnects → primary's WAL doesn't cover the gap
Expected: full extent delta transfer (LBA dirty map), not WAL catch-up
After rebuild: extent data matches on both nodes
Test 14: Sustained replication under crash
Primary: fio randwrite 4k qd=16 for 30 seconds
Replica: receiving and applying
At t=15s: kill -9 replica
At t=20s: restart replica
At t=30s: stop fio → SyncCache → barrier
Expected: barrier succeeds. All synced data matches.
```
### 9.3 Correctness Assertions
Every test must verify:
```
1. No CRC mismatch after recovery (invariant I1)
2. WAL LSN sequence is monotonic after recovery (invariant I3)
3. Recovered LSN <= last SyncCache'd LSN (no future data)
4. Extent data at each LBA matches the last WAL record for that LBA
5. On two-node: barrier-confirmed data is identical on both nodes
6. On two-node: after catch-up/rebuild, extent data matches
```
## 10. Prototype File Structure
```
weed/storage/blockvol/
smartwal.go ← SmartWALBuffer: ring buffer, append, sync, scan
smartwal_record.go ← SmartWALRecord: encode, decode, CRC
smartwal_recovery.go ← Recover(): replay WAL, verify extent CRCs
smartwal_test.go ← Single-node crash tests (1-7)
smartwal_repl_test.go ← Two-node replication crash tests (8-14)
```
The prototype is self-contained within `blockvol`. It does not change
the existing WAL implementation — it's a parallel implementation that
can be tested independently. Once proven stable, it replaces the current
WAL path.
## 11. Success Criteria
The prototype is successful when:
1. All 14 crash tests pass with -race flag
2. No CRC mismatches in any crash scenario
3. WAL capacity: 2M entries in 64MB (128:1 improvement over current)
4. Single-node write latency: within 10% of current WAL-inline path
5. Two-node barrier latency: within 10% of current barrier path
6. Recovery time: faster than current (no data to replay, just metadata)
7. Code size: < 500 lines for the core SmartWAL implementation
## 12. What This Proves
If the prototype passes all crash tests, it proves:
1. **The logical LSN storage model works**: WAL (metadata) + extent (data)
together form a consistent, crash-recoverable, LSN-ordered store.
2. **Extent-first write is safe**: with proper barrier ordering at
SyncCache, extent-first writes do not introduce corruption.
3. **SmartWAL eliminates WAL pressure**: 128:1 capacity improvement
makes WAL exhaustion effectively impossible.
4. **Replication is compatible**: the wire format is unchanged, replicas
use SmartWAL locally, barrier semantics are preserved.
5. **The algorithm is ready for production**: the same algorithm runs
in Ceph BlueStore and ZFS ZIL, now proven in our codebase with our
crash test suite.

## 14. Key Design Questions and Answers
### Q1: What is the minimum commit record?
**Record**: 32 bytes `{LSN, Epoch, LBA, Flags, DataCRC32, RecordCRC}`.
**Durable commit unit**: all writes covered by one SyncCache call.
Individual writes are write-back (not durable). SyncCache does
`fdatasync(extent)` then `fdatasync(WAL)` — this is the durability fence.
### Q2: What are the crash recovery semantics?
Recovery scans WAL records, builds last-writer-wins map per LBA,
verifies extent data via CRC. Four cases:
| Case | Extent | WAL | Recovery |
|------|--------|-----|----------|
| A | not flushed | not flushed | no record → write lost (never acked) ✓ |
| B | flushed | not flushed | no WAL record → write lost ✓ (extent has untracked data) |
| C | not flushed | flushed | WAL found, CRC mismatch → skipped ✓ |
| D | both flushed | both flushed | CRC matches → recovered ✓ |
**Case B subtlety**: the extent may contain data ahead of the WAL's
durable frontier. Recovery does NOT undo it. The data sits until
overwritten. Safe for block storage (client never got ack).
Recovery does NOT guarantee `extent[LBA] == lastDurableWAL[LBA]`.
It guarantees: if a WAL record exists AND CRC matches, data is correct.
### Q3: What is the reference resolvability contract?
**Inline WAL**: `WAL[LSN] → data` (self-contained, always resolvable).
**SmartWAL**: `WAL[LSN] → (LBA, CRC)`. Data lives at `extent[LBA]`.
But the extent only holds the LATEST version per LBA:
```
LSN=5: write LBA=100, data=A, CRC=crc(A)
LSN=8: write LBA=100, data=B, CRC=crc(B)
extent[100] = B. WAL record LSN=5 → LBA=100 is UNRESOLVABLE.
```
**Contract**: a SmartWAL reference is resolvable if and only if no
later write has overwritten that LBA.
**For recovery**: fine — last-writer-wins, only latest per LBA matters.
**For replication catch-up**: NOT fine — catch-up needs every write in
LSN order including overwritten versions. SmartWAL cannot provide this.
This is the fundamental trade-off (see Q5).
### Q4: What do GC / pin / retention need?
| Consumer | Needs old WAL records? | SmartWAL answer |
|----------|----------------------|-----------------|
| Crash recovery | Only latest per LBA | Ring buffer sufficient |
| Replication catch-up | Cannot use WAL (no data) | Dirty map + extent instead |
| Rebuild | No — reads extent | Dirty map provides LBA set |
| Scrub | No — reads extent | WAL CRCs for verification |
**Result**: WAL retention pins are eliminated. The ring buffer has no
external consumers that need old records. GC is automatic (ring
overwrites old slots).
**The dirty map becomes load-bearing**: it must track every LBA changed
since each replica's last sync point. If lost on crash, must be
rebuildable from WAL records or default to "rebuild all."
### Q5: Impact on catch-up / rebuild recoverability class
Current three-state model:
```
replicaFlushedLSN → in-sync → KeepUp
→ gap < WAL retained → CatchUp (replay WAL entries)
→ gap > WAL retained → Rebuild (full extent copy)
```
SmartWAL collapses to two states:
```
replicaFlushedLSN → in-sync → KeepUp (live ship from write buffer)
→ behind → DeltaSync (ship dirty LBAs from extent)
```
No catch-up vs rebuild distinction. Both are "send dirty blocks from
extent." Cost scales with dirty LBA count, not WAL gap size.
**Trade-off**: current catch-up replays WAL entries in order (preserving
write history). SmartWAL delta-sync ships current extent state (loses
write history). For block storage, history doesn't matter — only the
latest version per LBA counts.
### Q6: What is algorithm-only vs engine-aware?
**Algorithm-only (no engine changes)**:
- Extent-first write path
- 32-byte metadata WAL record format
- SyncCache barrier ordering
- Ring buffer management
- Crash recovery (scan + CRC verify)
- Concurrent write safety
**Requires engine awareness**:
| Change | Why |
|--------|-----|
| Shipper reads from extent, not WAL | Catch-up replay changes: can't replay WAL, must ship dirty LBAs from extent |
| RecoveryDriver / PlanRecovery | No `IsRecoverable(startLSN, endLSN)`. Check dirty map size instead. No catch-up vs rebuild — always delta-sync |
| Dirty map as persistent state | Must survive crash or be rebuildable. Becomes replication source of truth |
| Flusher eliminated | No WAL→extent copy. SyncCache replaces flusher. GroupCommitter drives SyncCache |
| WAL retention pins eliminated | No consumers need old records. Shipper retention floor gone |
| RebuildSourceDecision simplified | No snapshot-tail vs full-base. Always delta from extent |
**The key engine decision**: the engine currently models replication as
an ordered LSN stream. SmartWAL doesn't change live shipping (writes
still shipped with full data at write time via G4). But recovery changes
from "replay WAL from LSN X" to "ship dirty LBAs from extent." The
engine's recovery/session framework needs to understand extent-based
delta sync instead of WAL-based ordered replay.

# V2 Acceptance Evidence Map
Date: 2026-04-09
Status: active
## Purpose
This note maps the current V2 evidence across three layers:
1. protocol/simulation proof
2. `weed/` component and server proof
3. real-hardware operational proof
It is intentionally not another scenario backlog. Its goal is to answer:
1. what is already proven
2. where the proof lives
3. what is still missing enough that it should drive next work
## 1. Protocol And Simulation Coverage
Primary design references:
1. `sw-block/design/v2-acceptance-criteria.md`
2. `sw-block/design/v2_scenarios.md`
Current state:
1. `A1` through `A12` are defined at the protocol/design layer in `v2-acceptance-criteria.md`.
2. `v2_scenarios.md` currently marks `S1` through `S20` as covered in `distsim` and related model/protocol tests.
3. This means the broad semantic matrix is already mostly closed at the simulation layer.
What this proves:
1. committed-prefix and lineage rules are modeled
2. stale epoch and stale traffic rejection are modeled
3. failover, restart, partition, and mixed-state rules are modeled
4. restart-during-catchup and restart-during-rebuild are modeled
What this does not prove by itself:
1. real `weed/` runtime integration
2. real `BlockVol` data installation and WAL replay behavior
3. control-plane convergence latency on real heartbeat paths
4. operational comparisons between `V1`, `V1.5`, and `V2`
## 2. weed Runtime And Component Coverage
These tests provide engine-to-runtime and storage/backend proof beyond the pure protocol layer.
### Component-Level Proof
Relevant paths:
1. `weed/storage/blockvol/test/component/rebuild_failover_rejoin_test.go`
2. `weed/storage/blockvol/test/component/rebuild_matrix_gaps_test.go`
3. `weed/storage/blockvol/test/component/fast_rejoin_catchup_test.go`
4. `weed/storage/blockvol/test/component/rebuild_e2e_test.go`
5. `weed/storage/blockvol/test/component/rebuild_realistic_test.go`
Current high-value coverage:
1. failover -> old primary rejoins -> rebuild -> data converges
2. stale replica restart beyond retained WAL -> rebuild
3. connection drop mid-base -> partial rebuild fails closed -> fresh rebuild converges
4. quick rejoin with retained WAL -> catch-up chosen instead of rebuild
5. rebuild transport and realistic volume rebuild cases
New explicit complement added in this pass:
1. `TestFastRejoinCatchUp_FailoverRejoinUsesRetainedWAL`
- proves the old primary can return after failover and still use bounded catch-up when retained WAL covers the gap
- proves the real shipper catch-up path converges without starting rebuild
### Server-Level Recovery Proof
Relevant path:
1. `weed/server/block_recovery_test.go`
Current high-value coverage:
1. live-path catch-up planning and execution
2. fact-driven escalation from catch-up to rebuild
3. probe-driven rebuild session installation
4. command-driven rebuild start on the live path
5. fail-closed behavior when no fresh `start_rebuild` command exists
New explicit retry-stability proof added in this pass:
1. `TestP16B_RunRebuild_ExecutionFailureAllowsFreshRetry`
- proves a rebuild execution failure does not wedge the sender/runtime
- proves a fresh rebuild session can be installed afterward
- proves the second rebuild can still reach `InSync`
## 3. Integration And Scenario Evidence
Relevant paths:
1. `weed/storage/blockvol/testrunner/scenarios/internal/v2-fast-rejoin-catchup.yaml`
2. `weed/storage/blockvol/testrunner/scenarios/internal/v2-rebuild-failure-retry.yaml`
3. `weed/storage/blockvol/testrunner/scenarios/internal/v2-rebuild-rejoin.yaml`
Current status:
1. `v2-rebuild-rejoin.yaml` is the full real-system rebuild-rejoin story.
2. `v2-fast-rejoin-catchup.yaml` now asserts that rejoin converges via catch-up and that no remote rebuild start was sent.
3. `v2-rebuild-failure-retry.yaml` now asserts that the retry path includes more than one rebuild attempt, instead of only checking the final data state.
Why these matter:
1. they bridge the gap between narrow unit/component tests and real multi-process orchestration
2. they expose heartbeat, assignment, probe, and retry timing effects that protocol tests do not see
## 4. Real-Hardware Evidence
Current proved run:
1. `v2-rebuild-rejoin`
Observed result:
1. full lifecycle passed end-to-end on real hardware
2. create -> write -> failover -> write more -> old primary rejoin -> rebuild -> verify
3. rebuilt replica preserved both the pre-failover and post-failover checkpoints
Important interpretation:
1. the data-plane rebuild itself was fast
2. the larger wall-clock recovery time was dominated by control-plane cadence:
heartbeat propagation, assignment refresh, probe timing, and master-visible healthy convergence
So the current real-hardware result proves:
1. the primary-direct remote rebuild route works
2. the replica-side install path works
3. data continuity survives the full failover/rejoin cycle
It does not yet fully characterize:
1. control-plane latency breakdown as an explicit acceptance artifact
2. fast-rejoin catch-up on real hardware as distinct from rebuild-rejoin
3. RF=3 multi-replica operational behavior on hardware
## 5. Remaining Meaningful Gaps
These are the remaining gaps worth prioritizing. They are not generic matrix expansion.
### Gap 1: Operational Catch-Up After Failover
Needed:
1. explicit real integration evidence for old-primary quick return after failover where retained WAL is still sufficient
Why it matters:
1. it is the natural complement to rebuild-rejoin
2. it proves the system does not over-escalate to rebuild when bounded replay is enough
Current state:
1. component proof exists
2. scenario proof now exists at the testrunner level
3. hardware-grade acceptance evidence for this exact path is still worth collecting
### Gap 2: Control-Plane Convergence Visibility
Needed:
1. explicit breakdown for restart -> first heartbeat
2. assignment refresh -> probe start
3. probe start -> session accepted
4. session completed -> master healthy observed
Why it matters:
1. current operational latency is dominated by control-plane cadence, not data transfer
2. optimization work should target measured convergence phases, not the rebuild data plane blindly
### Gap 3: V1 / V1.5 / V2 Operational Comparisons
Still called out by `v2_scenarios.md`:
1. changed-address restart
2. same-address transient outage
3. slow reassignment recovery
Why it matters:
1. these are operational regressions/improvements, not just protocol semantics
2. they explain why V2 is better, not only that V2 is internally consistent
### Gap 4: RF=3 Operational Recovery Evidence
Needed:
1. targeted proof that the same recovery rules hold when more than one replica exists
2. especially for one stale replica, one healthy replica, and one active primary during rejoin/rebuild
Why it matters:
1. many current proofs are strongest in RF=2
2. the design explicitly supports RF=3 and per-replica recovery facts
## 6. Recommended Next Evidence Work
Order:
1. collect one hardware-grade fast-rejoin catch-up run
2. add explicit control-plane latency timestamps to recovery scenarios
3. add the highest-value `V1` / `V1.5` / `V2` operational comparison cases
4. add one RF=3 recovery acceptance slice before broadening anything else
## 7. Bottom Line
Current position:
1. protocol matrix: broadly covered
2. `weed` runtime/component proof: strong and improving
3. real-hardware rebuild-rejoin proof: achieved
So the next work should focus on:
1. the fast-rejoin catch-up operational path
2. control-plane convergence evidence
3. a small set of operational comparison cases
The project does not currently need a broad new matrix. It needs sharper proof on the remaining operational edges.

# V2 Integration Matrix
Date: 2026-04-08
Status: active
## Purpose
This matrix maps real end-to-end integration scenarios across common and edge
product paths. It is the operational counterpart to `v2-validation-matrix.md`:
- **Validation matrix**: is this capability covered at all?
- **Integration matrix**: have we exercised enough real scenarios with real data,
real topology, real failure, and real final-state validation?
## Cross-Link Rule
Use each integration row as the last step in a chain:
`protocol -> capability tier -> validation row -> integration scenario -> evidence`
The extra columns below make that chain explicit:
1. `Capability` points back to `v2-capability-map.md`
2. `Validation` points back to `v2-validation-matrix.md`
3. `Proof tier` states whether the row is currently covered by `component`,
`integration`, or `hardware` evidence

## V1 Scenarios That Need V2 Adaptation
These V1 scenarios exist and work but need modification for V2:
1. `ha-rebuild.yaml` → replace V1 direct rebuild with V2 session-controlled path
2. `ha-failover-during-rebuild.yaml` → adapt for V2 rebuild session lifecycle
3. `robust-shipper-lifecycle.yaml` → replace with V2 session lifecycle test
4. `robust-shipper-reconnect.yaml` → replace with V2 sync/recovery path
5. `cp85-role-flap.yaml` → add V2 projection assertions
## Next Steps
1. Fix `I-V3` (auto-failover) — the Stage 1 last remaining failure
2. Create `I-V4` (failover rejoin full stack) — the V8 integration scenario
3. Adapt `ha-rebuild.yaml` for V2 session control
4. Run V1 chaos/stability scenarios on V2 binary to verify no regressions

# V3 Clean Recovery Draft
Date: 2026-04-09
Status: draft
## 1. Why V3
`V2` has already proven several important things:
1. the primary/replica recovery model is workable
2. rebuild and catch-up can be driven from bounded facts
3. master and primary roles can be separated more clearly than in the original `V1` logic
4. execution muscles in `weed/` can increasingly be treated as runtime adapters rather than semantic authority
But `V2` also exposed a class of problems that should not be fixed forever by local patches:
1. heartbeat timing affects recovery behavior too much
2. transport failures are too easily over-interpreted as semantic failures
3. event ordering still changes recovery paths in some cases
4. completion/failure authority can split across ack arrival, executor unwind, and projection updates
5. engine changes can drift toward workaround states and temporary semantics
This draft proposes a `V3` direction that is **not** a feature expansion.
`V3` is a semantic cleanup effort:
1. reduce time-polluted semantics
2. minimize engine authority to the true problem space
3. keep execution in runtime/backend muscles
4. establish a strict audit rule for future engine changes
## 2. Core Thesis
`V3` should be built around one statement:
**Timers trigger observation. Facts determine semantics.**
Expanded:
1. timeouts, heartbeats, retry loops, and poll intervals may trigger a reconcile
2. they must not by themselves define recovery truth
3. recovery truth must come from bounded facts such as `epoch`, `endpointVersion`, `sessionID`, `R`, `S`, `H`, `DurableLSN`, and `AckKind`
Where:
1. `R` = replica achieved/applied boundary
2. `S` = primary retained start boundary
3. `H` = primary head/target boundary
## 3. Scope Of The Engine
The engine should be allowed to grow only when the problem space itself requires it.
The question is not whether the engine is 500 lines or 2500 lines.
The question is whether the engine still only solves semantic problems.
### 3.1 Engine owns semantic truth
Engine-owned truth domains:
1. identity truth
2. reachability truth
3. recovery truth
4. session validity truth
5. durability/publication truth
6. outward projection
### 3.2 Engine does not own execution details
The following must stay outside the semantic engine:
1. TCP connection management
2. retry sleep durations
3. heartbeat polling cadence
4. goroutine scheduling and drain details
5. block install mechanics
6. WAL streaming mechanics
7. storage backend quirks
8. log ordering and transport timing workarounds
## 4. Truth Domains
`V3` should explicitly separate several truth domains that are too easy to mix.
### 4.1 Identity Truth
Authority: `master`
Contains:
1. who is primary
2. which replica slots exist for the volume
3. which `replicaID` occupies each slot
4. current endpoint for each replica
5. `endpointVersion`
6. `epoch`
Meaning:
1. who belongs to the roster
2. where they are expected to be reached
3. which version of membership is authoritative
### 4.2 Reachability Truth
Authority: `primary`
Contains:
1. reachable / unreachable / probing
2. last successful contact
3. last probe result
4. last endpoint attempted
Meaning:
1. can the primary currently talk to this replica transport
2. should it keep probing
It does **not** determine recovery type by itself.
### 4.3 Recovery Truth
Authority: `primary`
Contains:
1. replica boundary `R`
2. primary retained start `S`
3. primary head or target `H`
4. recovery decision:
1. no recovery
2. catch-up
3. rebuild
4. undetermined
Meaning:
1. which semantic recovery path is required
2. why that path was chosen
### 4.4 Session / Execution Truth
Authority: recovery executor/session owner
Contains:
1. active `sessionID`
2. session kind
3. target boundary
4. achieved boundary
5. running / failed / completed
Meaning:
1. which recovery contract is active
2. whether that contract actually closed successfully
### 4.5 Projection
Authority: derived only
Contains operator-facing state such as:
1. `publish_healthy`
2. `degraded`
3. `needs_rebuild`
4. `recovery_in_progress`
Projection is not semantic authority.
It may report truth, but it must never create truth.
## 5. Role Split
### 5.1 Master
Master is responsible for:
1. liveness of volume servers at topology level
2. leader failover and primary assignment
3. replica roster membership
4. replica endpoint refresh when a VS joins or changes address
Master is not responsible for:
1. deciding catch-up vs rebuild
2. executing recovery sessions
3. interpreting data-plane progress
### 5.2 Primary
Primary is responsible for:
1. transport connectivity to replicas
2. collecting recovery facts
3. deciding keep-up / catch-up / rebuild
4. executing recovery
5. re-integrating a replica into the active data path
Primary is not responsible for:
1. inventing identity truth
2. deciding the replica roster independently of master
## 6. Minimal Principles
These principles should be treated as normative.
### P1. Timers trigger, facts decide
1. heartbeat timeout may trigger roster reconsideration
2. transport timeout may trigger a probe
3. ack timeout may trigger a failure or retry path
4. but none of these timers define recovery truth directly
### P2. Single authority per truth domain
1. identity truth belongs to `master`
2. recovery truth belongs to `primary`
3. terminal session success/failure belongs to the session/executor close path
4. durability truth belongs to barrier/quorum proof
### P3. Projection is derived only
1. `healthy`, `degraded`, and `needs_rebuild` are reports
2. they must not be used as hidden control inputs
### P4. Recovery choice must be deterministic
For the same bounded facts, the system must choose the same recovery path regardless of event order.
Examples:
1. if `R >= H`, do not recover
2. if `R >= S` and `R < H`, catch-up
3. if `R < S`, rebuild
### P5. Monotonic facts win
1. old `epoch` must never override new `epoch`
2. old `sessionID` must never override new `sessionID`
3. old `endpointVersion` must never override new endpoint truth
4. old completion/failure signals must never roll back newer semantic truth
### P6. Transport failure is not semantic overreach
1. ship/barrier/probe failure may mark reachability loss
2. it must not by itself decide rebuild
3. rebuild requires bounded recovery facts
### P7. Execution is a muscle
1. streaming blocks
2. replaying WAL
3. applying blocks
4. wiring sessions
These are implementation muscles, not semantic authority.
### P8. Engine size is not the target
1. the engine may grow if the problem space requires it
2. a larger engine is acceptable if it remains semantically clean
3. a smaller engine is not better if it hides complexity in ad-hoc workarounds
## 7. Anti-Patterns
The following patterns are explicitly rejected in `V3`.
### A1. Heartbeat timing defines recovery semantics
Examples:
1. missed heartbeat means rebuild is now required
2. reconnect heartbeat timing decides whether recovery occurs at all
Rejected because:
1. heartbeat is identity observation latency, not data truth
### A2. Barrier failure directly defines rebuild
Examples:
1. one failed barrier implies `needs_rebuild`
2. one transport error implies semantic replacement
Rejected because:
1. transport loss and recovery type are different truth domains
### A3. Ack arrival defines terminal success
Examples:
1. `SessionAckCompleted` immediately becomes final success even if executor unwind is not complete
Rejected because:
1. observed completion is not the same as fully closed recovery authority
### A4. Event ordering determines semantics
Examples:
1. roster refresh arrives before probe => one path
2. probe arrives before roster refresh => another path
Rejected because:
1. same facts must produce same decision
### A5. Projection drives control truth
Examples:
1. outward mode remains healthy so recovery is deferred
2. `needs_rebuild` projection doubles as internal transport state
Rejected because:
1. projection must remain derived only
### A6. Timing-specific workaround states accumulate in the engine
Examples:
1. one-off states created to survive a single race
2. special enums that exist only because one timer arrived before another
Rejected because:
1. this turns the engine into a patch history rather than a semantic model
## 8. Engine Change Audit
Every engine change in `V3` should pass an audit.
### 8.1 Required questions
1. does this change introduce a new semantic truth, or only an implementation workaround
2. if it is a workaround, why is it not staying in runtime/adapter/executor
3. does this change introduce a new authority conflict
4. does this change make protocol meaning depend on timer behavior or event order
5. can the same effect be expressed by existing state dimensions or existing events
6. what invariant does this change preserve or introduce
### 8.2 Default stance
1. new state is rejected by default
2. new event is rejected by default
3. new semantic transition is rejected by default
The burden of proof is on the change.
### 8.3 Acceptance bar for a new state
A new state may enter the engine only if all are true:
1. it expresses a new semantic distinction
2. that distinction cannot be represented by existing orthogonal dimensions
3. it is not timer-driven
4. it is not transport-detail-driven
5. it supports a new invariant that can be stated clearly
### 8.4 Acceptance bar for a new event
A new event may enter the engine only if all are true:
1. it represents a new independent fact source
2. it cannot be modeled as parameters of an existing event category
3. it does not create dual authority
4. it is not introduced only to compensate for runtime ordering
## 9. V2 Versus V3 Example Cases
### Case 1: Same-address transient replica restart
Problem in time-polluted systems:
1. if master does not observe the disconnect in time, recovery may not restart
`V3` expectation:
1. primary marks reachability lost
2. primary keeps probing last known endpoint
3. if same address returns, probe succeeds
4. bounded facts decide catch-up or rebuild
5. master refresh is helpful but not required for same-address recovery
### Case 2: Changed-address restart
Problem in time-polluted systems:
1. primary keeps probing old endpoint forever
2. event ordering between heartbeat and probe changes semantics
`V3` expectation:
1. primary keeps probing old endpoint harmlessly
2. master observes new VS heartbeat and issues newer endpoint truth
3. primary adopts newer endpoint version
4. recovery proceeds from refreshed identity truth
### Case 3: Rebuild completion race
Problem in time-polluted systems:
1. completion ack arrives
2. core announces success
3. executor later fails during cleanup
4. system emits contradictory terminal outcomes
`V3` expectation:
1. completion ack updates observed fact only
2. terminal success is emitted only after executor/session closure
### Case 4: Heartbeat miss versus barrier failure ordering
Problem in time-polluted systems:
1. whichever loop notices first can drive different semantics
`V3` expectation:
1. master updates identity truth
2. primary updates reachability truth
3. primary computes recovery truth from bounded facts
4. event order changes convergence latency, not semantic result
## 10. Relationship To Current V2
This draft does not say `V2` should be discarded.
Instead, it provides:
1. a semantic target to evaluate future `V2` fixes
2. a way to distinguish durable improvements from local workaround accumulation
3. a future migration path if `V3` becomes an implementation effort
The intended use is:
1. future recovery changes should be checked against this draft
2. when a bug is found, first ask whether it is:
1. a missing fact
2. a wrong authority
3. a time-polluted semantic rule
4. a runtime muscle bug
3. only the first three belong in the semantic engine
## 11. Spec And Runtime Split
`V3` should prefer a split between:
1. a human-reviewable and machine-readable semantic spec
2. one or more runtime implementations
This is recommended because:
1. semantic truth should not be trapped inside one language implementation
2. future Go and Rust engines should be able to load and enforce the same recovery model
3. auditability improves when states, events, invariants, and case expectations are explicit data rather than implied only by code structure
### 11.1 What may be machine-readable
The following are good candidates for a machine-readable spec format such as `YAML`, `JSON`, or `TOML`:
1. truth domains
2. state vocabularies
3. event vocabularies
4. command vocabularies
5. projection field definitions
6. invariant declarations
7. transition legality tables
8. conformance cases and expected outcomes
These are suitable because they are:
1. declarative
2. reviewable by humans
3. useful across implementations
### 11.2 What must remain code
The following should remain in the engine runtime implementation:
1. fact merge logic
2. monotonic precedence rules
3. bounded recovery decision logic
4. stale rejection logic
5. terminal success/failure authority logic
6. any logic that would otherwise require embedding a mini-language in metadata
The goal is to avoid building a hidden `DSL` inside `YAML`.
`V3` should not become:
1. a metadata interpreter for arbitrary semantic logic
2. a configuration-driven workaround engine
### 11.3 Recommended layering
The preferred shape is:
1. `schema`
1. event kinds
2. state kinds
3. command kinds
4. projection kinds
2. `spec`
1. invariants
2. transition constraints
3. prohibited patterns
4. conformance examples
3. `runtime`
1. applies events
2. merges facts
3. enforces invariants
4. emits commands and projections
4. `adapter`
1. bridges runtime to `weed/` execution muscles
### 11.4 Go And Rust Implication
If `V3` later has:
1. a Go semantic engine
2. a Rust semantic engine
then both should:
1. consume the same machine-readable spec
2. pass the same conformance cases
3. produce the same command/projection results for the same input facts
This gives the project:
1. a migration path without semantic drift
2. a way to benchmark a Rust loader/runtime against the established Go behavior
3. a stronger guarantee that semantics stay stable while execution internals evolve
### 11.5 Design rule
Machine-readable metadata is encouraged only for:
1. semantic specification
2. conformance specification
3. auditability
It is not encouraged for:
1. procedural recovery logic
2. retry logic
3. transport sequencing
4. execution-muscle behavior
The guiding rule is:
**metadata should describe the semantic surface, while code executes the semantic core.**
## 12. V3 Acceptance Criteria
`V3` is not acceptable merely because its internals are cleaner.
`V3` is acceptable only when it preserves the required semantic behavior and
eliminates the known timing-polluted failure classes.
### 12.1 Minimum replacement bar
The minimum operational bar for a `V3` engine/runtime pair is to pass the same
high-value scenarios that currently define the useful `V2` benchmark:
1. `I-V3`
2. `I-R8`
3. `fast-rejoin`
4. `rebuild-retry`
These scenarios are not optional polish. They are the minimum replacement gate.
### 12.2 Semantic acceptance bar
In addition to scenario pass/fail, `V3` must satisfy the following:
1. the same bounded facts produce the same recovery decision regardless of event order
2. transport failure alone does not choose rebuild
3. terminal recovery success is emitted from one authority only
4. terminal recovery failure is emitted from one authority only
5. projection never acts as hidden control input
6. partial roster observations cannot delete an active replica session without explicit newer authoritative truth
### 12.3 Conformance acceptance bar
For the same semantic spec and the same event stream:
1. the Go runtime and any future Rust runtime must produce the same commands
2. the Go runtime and any future Rust runtime must produce the same projections
3. stale events must be rejected consistently
4. monotonic facts must converge identically
### 12.4 Explicit failure classes that V3 must close
`V3` is not ready if it still permits these failure classes:
1. heartbeat timing decides whether recovery starts
2. one barrier/ship failure semantically escalates to rebuild
3. completion ack races with executor cleanup and creates double terminal outcomes
4. sender/session identity disappears during an active recovery contract
5. event arrival order changes recovery semantics instead of only latency
## 13. Non-Goals
This draft intentionally does **not** attempt to solve every future storage
problem at once.
### 13.1 Not a full system rewrite
This draft does not require:
1. immediate replacement of all `weed/` runtime code
2. immediate replacement of `blockvol`
3. immediate replacement of the existing transport stack
### 13.2 Not a feature expansion document
This draft does not require, as part of the clean core itself:
1. `SmartWAL`
2. `LBAMap`
3. richer rebuild source selection beyond the current clean recovery contract
4. new durability modes beyond the current semantic envelope
These may become future extensions, but they are not prerequisites for the
core `V3` semantic cleanup.
### 13.3 Not a timing optimization document
This draft does not itself optimize:
1. heartbeat intervals
2. probe cadence
3. retry backoff
4. control-plane wall-clock convergence
Those are valid later concerns, but `V3` first defines what the semantics must
be independent of those timings.
## 14. Migration Stance
`V3` should be introduced as a semantically cleaner implementation path, not as
an ideological fork from `V2`.
### 14.1 Benchmark stance
`V2` remains the operational benchmark until:
1. its known benchmark-blocking bugs are closed
2. its benchmark scenarios are green
3. it provides a stable behavior reference for `V3`
`V3` should not be judged against abstract elegance only. It should be judged
against a real, scenario-backed benchmark.
### 14.2 Side-by-side stance
When possible, `V3` should be introduced in a side-by-side conformance style:
1. same semantic spec
2. same test vectors
3. same scenario suite
4. same expected commands and projections
This keeps migration disciplined and prevents silent semantic drift.
### 14.3 Adapter-first stance
The preferred migration shape is:
1. keep runtime muscles in `weed/`
2. isolate a semantic engine runtime behind an adapter boundary
3. feed the same bounded facts into both benchmark and candidate implementations where practical
4. replace implementation internals only after semantic equivalence is proven
### 14.4 No workaround carry-forward rule
`V3` must not carry forward a `V2` workaround unless it survives the `V3`
audit as a genuine semantic requirement.
The default assumption is:
1. a timing workaround in `V2` is a candidate for deletion
2. not a default input to `V3`
## 15. Future Extensions And Extension Gate
`V3` should leave room for stronger data algorithms without letting them pollute
the clean recovery core.
### 15.1 Extension class boundary
Future extensions should be classified explicitly before implementation:
1. semantic core extension
2. recoverability-class extension
3. execution-muscle extension
4. storage-representation extension
Only the first class belongs in the semantic engine by default.
### 15.2 SmartWAL
`SmartWAL` should be treated as an algorithm/storage-representation extension,
not as a core recovery truth domain.
Its likely role:
1. reduce `WAL` payload tax for large writes
2. change how payload is represented or referenced
3. expand recoverability classes without changing identity, recovery authority, or completion authority
Its likely non-role:
1. changing who decides recovery
2. changing session ownership
3. changing projection semantics
4. changing the timer/fact boundary
### 15.3 LBAMap-assisted rebuild
`LBAMap` should be treated as a recoverability/execution extension:
1. it may improve rebuild source selection or rebuild efficiency
2. it may allow more precise block selection or reference resolution
3. it must not redefine the core truth domains
### 15.4 Extension gate
Any future feature such as `SmartWAL`, `LBAMap`, or richer rebuild algorithms
must answer these questions before entering the `V3` core:
1. does it create a new long-lived semantic truth
2. or does it only strengthen a recoverability class or execution muscle
3. does it require a new invariant
4. does it change the authority split
5. does it introduce timing-sensitive semantics
If the answer is mainly about:
1. payload representation
2. storage economics
3. replay efficiency
4. rebuild efficiency
then it should remain outside the semantic core unless proven otherwise.
### 15.5 Preferred extension path
The preferred order for future extensions is:
1. specify the extension in semantic terms
2. classify it by extension class
3. add conformance cases
4. implement it in execution/storage layers first if possible
5. only then decide whether the semantic core must expand
## 16. Immediate Implication
`V3` should be treated as:
1. a semantic minimization draft
2. a guardrail against engine pollution
3. a reference model for future case comparison
Not as:
1. an immediate rewrite mandate
2. a promise to replace all of `V2`
3. a feature roadmap
The value of this draft is that it gives the project a stable standard for deciding what belongs in the engine, what belongs in runtime muscles, and what should be rejected as timing pollution.

# Tests the complete V2 lifecycle:
# 1. Create RF=2 sync_all volume, write data, verify
# 2. Kill primary (SIGKILL)
# 3. Wait for master auto-promotion (lease expiry)
# 4. Verify failover: new primary serves reads (data continuity)

# 6. Restart old primary — it rejoins as replica
