* test: add FUSE database load/durability/perf benchmark

Runs MySQL (InnoDB) and SQLite with ~1GB datadirs on a SeaweedFS FUSE
mount. Two parts:

- durability: normal shutdown, kill -9, and crash-during-write all keep
  every fsync-committed row (verified by integrity check + row count +
  contiguous prefix + per-row CRC).
- performance: FUSE vs the same local disk. fsync/commit latency is the
  dominant cost (~0.13ms -> ~1.18ms), so small transactions run ~9-12x
  slower while bulk loads and warm reads stay close.

Harness is path-independent (runtime under $SEAWEED_BENCH_WORK) and only
touches its own processes on non-default ports.

* test/benchmark/fuse_db: portable to Linux + crash-safe progress

- export MYSQL_BIN; mysql_bench.py falls back to PATH when unset
- unmount via fusermount/fusermount3 (non-root Linux), then umount/diskutil
- atomic progress write (tmp+fsync+rename); treat empty progress file as 0
- reuse a single PRNG in the perf probe so RNG init doesn't skew timings

* test/benchmark/fuse_db: validate inputs, add subprocess timeout

- mysql_bench.py: 1800s timeout on mysql CLI calls; reject db names that
  aren't plain identifiers (interpolated into SQL)
- sqlite_gen.py / sqlite_verify.py: allowlist journal/synchronous modes and
  the verify mode so a typo can't silently weaken durability or relax checks
- run_mysql.sh: durable atomic progress write (tmp+fsync+rename), matching
  sqlite_gen.py; quote $LB in both crash-test verify calls

# FUSE database load / durability / performance benchmark
Runs **MySQL (InnoDB)** and **SQLite** with their data files on a SeaweedFS **FUSE mount**,
with ~1 GB datasets, and answers two questions:
1. **Durability** — does any committed data get lost across normal shutdown, an unexpected
`kill -9`, or a crash during active writes?
2. **Performance** — how much slower is the FUSE mount than the local disk for the same
workload (bulk load, OLTP commits, scans, raw fsync)?
Each row carries a CRC32 of an incompressible (so ~1 GB actually hits the volumes)
deterministic payload; verification checks `integrity_check`/`CHECK TABLE`, exact row count,
contiguous-id prefix, and a per-row CRC recompute.
## Results (single node, macOS arm64 + macFUSE, weed 4.34, local NVMe, 2026-06-15)
### Durability — 6/6 PASS, no committed data lost, no corruption
| scenario | what | SQLite | MySQL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A normal shutdown | graceful DB stop, unmount, cluster stop, restart, verify | PASS | PASS |
| B unexpected (`kill -9`) | kill -9 db+mount+cluster, restart, recover, verify | PASS | PASS |
| C crash during writes | kill -9 mid-load, restart, recover, verify committed prefix | PASS | PASS |
Scenario C confirmed correct recovery: the in-flight transaction rolled back, every
fsync-committed row survived as a contiguous prefix (InnoDB redo recovery ~9 s).
### Performance — FUSE vs host (same disk, same durability settings)
Raw filesystem:
| metric | host | FUSE | FUSE slower |
|---|---|---|---|
| seq write +fsync | 2336 MB/s | 369 MB/s | 6.3x |
| seq read (warm) | 3435 MB/s | 1422 MB/s | 2.4x |
| fsync latency | 0.13 ms | 1.18 ms | 9x |
SQLite (1 GB, journal=DELETE, synchronous=FULL):
| metric | host | FUSE | FUSE slower |
|---|---|---|---|
| bulk load | 5.8 s (177 MB/s) | 11.6 s (88 MB/s) | 2.0x |
| OLTP 1-row txns | 1987 tx/s | 171 tx/s | 11.6x |
| full scan (warm) | 316 MB/s | 427 MB/s | ~equal (python-bound) |
MySQL/InnoDB (1 GB, trx_commit=1, flush_method=fsync):
| metric | host | FUSE | FUSE slower |
|---|---|---|---|
| bulk load | 24.4 s (42 MB/s) | 32.9 s (31 MB/s) | 1.35x |
| OLTP 1-row commits | 10542 tx/s | 1144 tx/s | 9.2x |
| full scan | 2419 MB/s | 430 MB/s | 5.6x |
**Takeaway:** the cost is dominated by fsync/commit latency (0.13 → 1.18 ms, ~9x) because
every durable commit uploads the chunk to the volume + persists the filer chunk-manifest over
loopback. Small fsync'd transactions are ~9-12x slower; bulk loads (commits amortized) are
1.3-2x slower; warm/sequential reads are close to host. These are single-node loopback
numbers — a real cluster (remote volumes, replication) adds network RTT + replica fsync per
commit.
## Durability caveat (test scope)
`kill -9` terminates the **processes** while the OS keeps running, so everything that reached
the OS page cache (all fsync'd data) survives — this faithfully tests process/daemon crashes
and is what passed 6/6. It does **not** simulate true **power loss** (page cache lost). The
FUSE mount uploads chunks **without** `fsync=true` (`weed/mount/weedfs_write.go` builds
`UploadOption` with no `Fsync`), so the volume does not fsync `.dat` per upload and the filer
leveldb likely does not sync per write; under a real power cut, recently-"committed" data that
only reached the page cache could be lost. A VM hard-reset / power-loss test on real hardware
is the follow-up to close that gap.
## Requirements
- `weed` on `$PATH` (or set `WEED=/path/to/weed`)
- macFUSE (macOS) or libfuse (Linux)
- `python3`, `sqlite3`
- MySQL/MariaDB install; set `MYSQL_BASE` to its prefix (default macOS Homebrew
`/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql`; must contain `bin/mysqld`, `bin/mysql`, `bin/mysqladmin`).
For `mysql_bench.py` on a non-default install, also set `MYSQL_BIN=/path/to/mysql`.
## Run
Runtime artifacts (cluster, mount, logs) go to `$SEAWEED_BENCH_WORK`
(default `/tmp/seaweedfs_fuse_db_bench`), kept out of the repo.
cd test/benchmark/fuse_db
bash bin/run_sqlite.sh > results/sqlite.log 2>&1 # SQLite durability suite
bash bin/run_mysql.sh > results/mysql.log 2>&1 # MySQL durability suite
bash bin/compare.sh > results/compare.log 2>&1 # FUSE vs host performance
The harness manages only its own processes (via pidfiles) on non-default ports
(9555/9560/9565, mysqld 3308); it never runs `pkill weed`, so other SeaweedFS instances on
the box are untouched.
