516e251f9e rust volume: move the crate to edition 2024 (#11244)
* rust volume: move the crate to edition 2024

Edition 2024 turns three things in this crate into hard errors, and changes
drop order in a further 34 places without changing compilation. The compiler
errors are fixed here; the silent changes were audited against
`RUSTFLAGS='-W rust-2024-compatibility' cargo check --all-targets` output
captured before the flip, since edition 2024 stops reporting them.

`std::env::set_var`/`remove_var` are unsafe as of 2024 because they race with
concurrent readers. All six call sites are safe by construction rather than by
assertion, and the SAFETY comments say why: the build script runs
single-threaded before anything else in the process, and every test reaching
the `config.rs` helpers holds `process_state_lock()` for the duration.

The two `ref` bindings in handlers.rs sit in patterns that already borrow
implicitly, so removing the modifier leaves both bindings at `&String`.

On the 34 drop-order sites: no lock guard's scope is extended anywhere, and
`volume.rs` has none. Most are moved-from `Option`/`Result` husks — `if let
Some(v) = map.remove(&k)`, `while let Some(m) = stream.next().await` — where
the value is moved into the binding and the temporary has nothing left to drop;
where closing order actually matters these paths already call `v.close()`,
`ec_vol.destroy()` or `drop(writer)` explicitly. Two sites get strictly better
ordering: the metrics read guard in `run_metrics_push_loop` shrinks to the end
of its initializer block (it never crossed an `.await` either way), and an EC
test now closes the volume's descriptors before the `TempDir` removes the
directory.

No `rust-version` is declared. Edition 2024 needs rustc 1.85, but that is not
the binding constraint — the dependency tree already requires 1.91.1 through
the `aws-sdk-s3`/`aws-smithy-*` family, so `cargo +1.85 check` fails on the
deps regardless. CI builds on `dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable`.

`vendor/reed-solomon-erasure` is a separate package and keeps edition 2021.
Cargo.lock is unchanged despite edition 2024 implying resolver 3.

Verified: `cargo test` 551 passed / 0 failed, `cargo test
--no-default-features` 550 passed / 0 failed (the two feature sets produce an
identical migration site list), `cargo build --release` clean. No automated
test covers shutdown ordering, so the channel and runtime sites in `main.rs`,
`write_queue.rs` and `grpc_server.rs` were read individually.

* rust volume: address edition-2024 review feedback

Three fixes from review of the edition bump.

Serialize the two environment-reading tests. The SAFETY comments on the
`env::set_var`/`remove_var` helpers claim every test touching the environment
holds `process_state_lock()`, but `test_resolve_config_defaults_dir_to_platform_temp_dir`
and `test_resolve_config_index_accepts_redb_and_leveldb_aliases` called
`resolve_config` — which reads HOME/USERPROFILE, SEAWEED_WRITE_QUEUE and the
WEED_* set — without taking it. `set_var` is unsafe precisely because a
concurrent *reader* is UB, not only a concurrent writer, so the comment was
overclaiming. An audit of the module found exactly these two; every other
environment-touching test already held the lock. The race predates edition
2024, which only made the requirement explicit.

Declare `rust-version = "1.91.1"`. The edition needs 1.85, but that was never
the binding constraint: `cargo +1.90 check --all-targets` fails on the
`aws-sdk-s3`/`aws-smithy-*` family, and 1.91.1 checks clean. Declaring the
verified floor turns a wall of per-dependency errors into one clear message.
Cargo.lock is unchanged despite this making the resolver MSRV-aware.

Update the README, which advertised "Rust 1.75+ (2021 edition)". 1.75 was
already stale before this branch — the tree has needed 1.91 for a while.

Verified: `cargo test` 551 passed / 0 failed, `cargo test --no-default-features`
550 passed / 0 failed, `cargo build --release` clean.

* rust volume: state the exact MSRV patch release in the README

The README said "Rust 1.91+", which reads as 1.91.0 and is wrong by one patch
release: `cargo +1.91.0 check --all-targets` fails on the aws-sdk-s3 family,
`cargo +1.91.1` passes. Say 1.91.1+, matching `rust-version` in Cargo.toml, and
call out that the patch component is load-bearing so nobody installs 1.91.0 and
hits the same wall.

* rust worker: move the workspace to edition 2024

Moves the seaweed-worker workspace (core, lance, sort) from edition 2021 to
2024, the same migration seaweed-volume just got in this branch.

Edition 2024 turns exactly one thing in this workspace into a hard error. The
baseline came from RUSTFLAGS='-W rust-2024-compatibility' cargo check
--all-targets, run before the flip; unlike seaweed-volume's 34 silent +
8 hard sites, the worker reports only the one hard site and no
tail_expr_drop_order or if_let_rescope sites at all. The worker is a much
smaller crate and none of its expressions hold a guard or temporary whose drop
order the edition changes, so there is nothing to audit on the silent side.

Fixed (1 site):

std::env::set_var is unsafe as of 2024 because it races with concurrent
readers. The single call is in crates/core/build.rs, which sets PROTOC from
protoc_bin_vendored the way seaweed-volume's build script does. A build
script's main runs single-threaded before anything else in the process, so
no other thread can be reading the environment concurrently; the SAFETY comment
says so. There are no config.rs-style test helpers here -- the worker's tests
do not mutate the environment -- so unlike the volume crate there are no
process_state_lock() callers to audit.

No redundant ref bindings to clean up: a grep for ref across the three
crates finds none.

MSRV:

rust-version = "1.94.1", verified rather than inferred. Edition 2024 only
needs 1.85, but the dependency tree needs more: lance's aws feature pulls in
a newer cut of the same aws-sdk-*/aws-smithy-* family that sets
seaweed-volume's 1.91.1 floor, and that newer cut requires 1.94.1.
cargo +1.94.0 check --all-targets fails on that family; cargo +1.94.1
check --all-targets is clean. The worker's floor is therefore higher than
the volume's, and moves with lance and the AWS SDK rather than with the
edition. CI builds on dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable, so nothing changes
there.

The edition is set once in [workspace.package] and inherited by each member
via edition.workspace = true; rust-version is added the same way. The
workspace keeps its explicit resolver = "2" -- edition 2024 would default to
resolver 3, but the pin is deliberate and Cargo.lock is unchanged by this
commit either way.

The README gains a "Requires Rust 1.94.1+ (2024 edition)" line in its Building
section, matching the one seaweed-volume's README now carries, and calling out
that the patch release is load-bearing (1.94.0 does not build) so nobody
installs 1.94.0 and hits the same wall.

Verification:

* cargo check --all-targets -- clean, zero warnings (default toolchain 1.97)
* cargo +1.94.1 check --all-targets -- clean
* cargo +1.94.0 check --all-targets -- fails on the AWS SDK, as claimed
* cargo test --all-targets -- 40 passed, 0 failed
  (core 13, sort 11, lance lib 3, lance bin 2, compaction 6, lifecycle 1,
  sort integration 4)
* Cargo.lock unchanged

SeaweedFS Volume Server (Rust)

A drop-in replacement for the SeaweedFS Go volume server, rewritten in Rust. It uses binary-compatible storage formats (.dat, .idx, .vif) and speaks the same HTTP and gRPC protocols, so it works with an unmodified Go master server.

Building

Requires Rust 1.91.1+ (2024 edition), matching rust-version in Cargo.toml. The patch release matters: 1.91.0 does not build. The edition itself only needs 1.85; the higher floor comes from the dependency tree — chiefly the AWS SDK — so it moves with those crates. CI builds on the latest stable.

cd seaweed-volume
cargo build --release

The binary is produced at target/release/seaweed-volume.

Running

Start a Go master server first, then point the Rust volume server at it:

# Minimal
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 --dir /data/vol1 --max 7

# Multiple data directories
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 \
  --dir /mnt/ssd1,/mnt/ssd2 --max 100,100 --disk ssd

# With datacenter/rack topology
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 --dir /data/vol1 --max 7 \
  --dataCenter dc1 --rack rack1

# With JWT authentication
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 --dir /data/vol1 --max 7 \
  --securityFile /etc/seaweedfs/security.toml

# With TLS (configured in security.toml via [https.volume] and [grpc.volume] sections)
seaweed-volume --port 8080 --master localhost:9333 --dir /data/vol1 --max 7 \
  --securityFile /etc/seaweedfs/security.toml

Common flags

Flag Default Description
--port 8080 HTTP listen port
--port.grpc port+10000 gRPC listen port
--master localhost:9333 Comma-separated master server addresses
--dir /tmp Comma-separated data directories
--max 8 Max volumes per directory (comma-separated)
--ip auto-detect Server IP / identifier
--ip.bind same as --ip Bind address
--dataCenter Datacenter name
--rack Rack name
--disk Disk type tag: hdd, ssd, or custom
--index memory Needle map type: memory, leveldb, leveldbMedium, leveldbLarge
--readMode proxy Non-local read mode: local, proxy, redirect
--fileSizeLimitMB 256 Max upload file size
--minFreeSpace 1 (percent) Min free disk space before marking volumes read-only
--securityFile Path to security.toml for JWT keys and TLS certs
--metricsPort 0 (disabled) Prometheus metrics endpoint port
--whiteList Comma-separated IPs with write permission
--preStopSeconds 10 Graceful drain period before shutdown
--compactionMBps 0 (unlimited) Compaction I/O rate limit
--pprof false Enable pprof HTTP handlers

Set RUST_LOG=debug (or trace, info, warn) for log level control. Set SEAWEED_WRITE_QUEUE=1 to enable batched async write processing.

Features

  • Binary compatible -- reads and writes the same .dat/.idx/.vif files as the Go server; seamless migration with no data conversion.
  • HTTP + gRPC -- full implementation of the volume server HTTP API and all gRPC RPCs including streaming operations (copy, tail, incremental copy, vacuum).
  • Master heartbeat -- bidirectional streaming heartbeat with the Go master server; volume and EC shard registration, leader failover, graceful shutdown deregistration.
  • JWT authentication -- signing key configuration via security.toml with token source precedence (query > header > cookie), file_id claims validation, and separate read/write keys.
  • TLS -- HTTPS for the HTTP API and mTLS for gRPC, configured through security.toml.
  • Erasure coding -- Reed-Solomon EC shard management: mount/unmount, read, rebuild, copy, delete, and shard-to-volume reconstruction.
  • S3 remote storage -- FetchAndWriteNeedle reads from any S3-compatible backend (AWS, MinIO, Wasabi, Backblaze, etc.) and writes locally. Supports VolumeTierMoveDatToRemote/FromRemote for tiered storage.
  • Needle map backends -- in-memory HashMap, LevelDB (via rusty-leveldb), or redb (pure Rust disk-backed) needle maps.
  • Image processing -- on-the-fly resize/crop, JPEG EXIF orientation auto-fix, WebP support.
  • Streaming reads -- large files (>1MB) are streamed via spawn_blocking to avoid blocking the async runtime.
  • Auto-compression -- compressible file types (text, JSON, CSS, JS, SVG, etc.) are gzip-compressed on upload.
  • Prometheus metrics -- counters, histograms, and gauges exported at a dedicated metrics port; optional push gateway support.
  • Graceful shutdown -- SIGINT/SIGTERM handling with configurable preStopSeconds drain period.

Testing

Rust unit tests

cd seaweed-volume
cargo test

Go integration tests

The Go test suite can target either the Go or Rust volume server via the VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL environment variable:

# Run all HTTP + gRPC integration tests against the Rust server
VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL=rust go test -v -count=1 -timeout 1200s \
  ./test/volume_server/grpc/... ./test/volume_server/http/...

# Run a single test
VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL=rust go test -v -count=1 -timeout 60s \
  -run "TestName" ./test/volume_server/http/...

# Run S3 remote storage tests
VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL=rust go test -v -count=1 -timeout 180s \
  -run "TestFetchAndWriteNeedle" ./test/volume_server/grpc/...

Load testing

A load test harness is available at test/volume_server/loadtest/. See that directory for usage instructions and scenarios.

Architecture

The server runs three listeners concurrently:

  • HTTP (Axum 0.7) -- admin and public routers for file upload/download, status, and stats endpoints.
  • gRPC (Tonic 0.12) -- all VolumeServer RPCs from the SeaweedFS protobuf definition.
  • Metrics (optional) -- Prometheus scrape endpoint on a separate port.
