introduces global schema to mitigate conflicts between multiple ingest nodes

Description


This PR has:

  • been tested to ensure log ingestion and log query works.
  • added comments explaining the "why" and the intent of the code wherever would not be obvious for an unfamiliar reader.
  • added documentation for new or modified features or behaviors.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added canonical schema management for evolving stream schemas, preserving established fields while resolving conflicts.
    • Streams can restore persisted canonical schemas during ingestion and reading.
    • Supported storage backends now support schema version checks and conditional updates.
    • Added coordinated schema locking and recovery for concurrent updates.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Incompatible schema merges return clear errors instead of causing reader failures.
    • Batch adaptation handles missing fields and compatible type changes while preserving row counts.
    • Improved reverse-reading schema resolution and startup restoration for existing data.
    • Startup and migration errors now provide more detailed dataset and tenant context.

Walkthrough

This change adds a canonical schema registry with conditional global-schema storage. Eligible ingest streams resolve and cache canonical schemas, restore them during setup, and apply field resolution during batch conversion. Schema retrieval prefers the global schema when available.

Changes

Canonical Schema Registry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Global-schema storage
src/storage/*, src/metastore/*
Storage and metastore interfaces add global-schema reads, locks, tenant-aware paths, versioned reads, and conditional writes. Object-store backends implement these operations.
Canonical field resolution
src/schema_registry.rs, src/lib.rs
The registry normalizes fields, resolves datatype conflicts with deterministic names, supports legacy bootstrap, coordinates locks, and retries compare-and-swap updates.
Stream schema resolution and restoration
src/parseable/streams.rs, src/migration/mod.rs, src/handlers/http/mod.rs, src/parseable/staging/mod.rs, src/parseable/mod.rs
Eligible streams cache and restore canonical schemas. Failed resolution requeues source files. Schema retrieval uses the persisted or cached global schema.
Schema-aware batch conversion
src/utils/arrow/batch_adapter.rs, src/parseable/staging/reader.rs
Batch conversion adapts compatible fields, preserves matching arrays, resolves field names, and returns incompatible schema errors.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 417a3

The global schema is meant to keep ingest nodes consistent, but its update is not truly conditional. Two nodes publishing at the same time can overwrite each other's schema additions. In addition, a single conflicting staging file, or a pinned partition-type conflict, can stop conversion for a stream on a node indefinitely while staging data accumulates. These issues should be fixed before merging.

Keep the raw local schema in LogStreamMetadata.schema.

restore_global_schema returns the canonical schema, and setup_logstream_metadata stores it as the metadata schema. Event::process passes its RecordBatch directly to Stream::push, which stores it in memory without schema adaptation. recordbatches_cloned then adapts that batch to the canonical metadata schema before applying the global resolution.

For a raw batch with a: Int64 and canonical metadata with a: Utf8, adapt_batch selects the a array by name and calls RecordBatch::try_new(...).unwrap(). This can panic before resolution.rename_batch can rename the field.

Keep the raw local schema in LogStreamMetadata.schema. Call restore_global_schema to populate Stream::global_schema, then use the raw schema for metadata.

Suggested fix
     {
         stream_ref
             .restore_global_schema(
                 arrow_schema.clone(),
                 tenant_id,
                 time_partition.as_ref(),
                 custom_partition.as_ref(),
             )
-            .await?
+            .await?;
+        stream_ref.updated_schema(arrow_schema.clone())
     } else {
         stream_ref.updated_schema(arrow_schema.clone())
     };

The JSON path renames detected conflicts before fields_mismatch, so this finding is about the raw in-memory batch path, not direct JSON rejection.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Guard global-schema conversion for LocalFS.

ObjectStorage does not define supports_conditional_writes(), so uncommenting the current call will not compile. Without an equivalent guard, non-static LocalFS ingest reaches global-schema resolution. LocalFS inherits the default put_object_if implementation, which returns an unsupported-backend error and causes conversion to requeue staging files and fail.

Use the existing provider name to exclude LocalFS. Current cloud backends implement put_object_if.

Pass only raw staging schemas to global-schema resolution.

For an existing global schema, current_schema is canonical. fetch_schema returns global.schema, and recovery passes it to restore_global_schema. updated_schema then merges that canonical schema with raw .arrows schemas using Schema::try_merge. An incompatible raw field can therefore fail with ArrowError::SchemaError before schema_registry::resolve can assign its canonical suffix. This can abort migration even when only unconverted staging data conflicts.

Merge raw staging files with each other, then pass only that merged raw schema to the registry. Preserve the existing updated_schema behavior for internal streams.

🐛 Suggested fix
-        let current_schema = self.updated_schema(current_schema)?;
+        let staging_files = self.arrow_files();
+        let record_reader = MergedReverseRecordReader::try_new(&staging_files);
+        let raw_schema = if record_reader.readers.is_empty() {
+            None
+        } else {
+            Some(record_reader.merged_schema()?)
+        };
         if self.get_stream_type() == StreamType::Internal {
-            return Ok(current_schema);
+            return self.updated_schema(current_schema);
         }
-        let schemas = vec![current_schema];
+        let schemas = raw_schema.into_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>();

Update migration_schema_recovery_rejects_existing_conflicts_without_deleting_files so a conflict between the raw staging schema and the canonical persisted schema reaches registry resolution instead of failing during raw-schema validation.

src/parseable/streams.rs:2061-2068
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not requeue the full snapshot when resolution fails in a way that will always repeat.

Every resolution error requeues every Arrow file in the cycle and then fails the cycle. This is correct for temporary metastore or lock errors. build_resolution can also fail in a way that repeats on every attempt:

  • A pinned field has a local datatype that is different from the canonical datatype.
  • A pinned field has more than one local datatype.
  • The 64 suffix attempts are exhausted.

Custom-partition fields are pinned in resolve_global_schema, and their types come from JSON inference. Suppose one node infers Int64 for a numeric partition value and another node published Utf8 first. Every later cycle on the first node then fails in the same way. The stream does not convert any data on that node again, including groups that have no conflict, and staging disk use keeps growing.

Separate errors that will always repeat from temporary storage errors. For example, return a separate StagingError variant for errors from build_resolution. Requeue only on temporary errors. For errors that always repeat, isolate or quarantine the conflicting groups and emit a clear error, so the remaining groups still convert.
