Questions like "what are this change's heads?" or "which statements are about this revision?" would otherwise mean reading every record.

The index keeps:

  • each change's revisions and heads (more than one head is divergence);
  • statements by subject;
  • the order this node received its records.

It lives in one append-only file of checksummed frames. It is derived data: on any damage, or if the file is missing, it is rebuilt from the store, keeping the arrival order the old log still knows. Store::ids lists loose objects first and packs after, so a compaction running at the same time can't hide objects from a rebuild.

Linux sync change: batches of up to two files now sync each file directly instead of calling syncfs. Otherwise a single record write waited on every other process's writes, which stalled it for up to a second on a busy disk.

Benchmarks: indexing adds 1–4% to writes on a real disk. A full rebuild over 20k records takes 93 ms, and opening the index takes 4.5 ms.

Review fix: a rebuild skips and reports an object whose file isn't valid zstd, instead of failing on it forever. Proved by a test that fails without the fix, and just (320 tests).

Persistent record index

  • Added the public index module and a persistent index stored in the append-only index/log.
  • The index tracks record arrival order, revisions by change, change heads and divergence, and statements by subject.
  • Index::open reads the index and rebuilds it when it is missing or damaged. Rebuilds scan the store, retain known arrival order, and report corrupt or undecodable records that they skip.
  • Index batches are appended before their records are published. A publication mark distinguishes completed batches from entries that must be checked against the store.
  • Shared batch locks and an exclusive rebuild lock coordinate appends and rebuilds. Partial trailing frames are skipped; other log damage triggers a rebuild.

Store integration

  • Store batches collect index entries for staged records and include the index log in the durable sync with the records.
  • Added Store::ids to list loose and packed object IDs, and added packed-ID retrieval. The loose-first listing and subsequent pack lookup support rebuilds during compaction.
  • Store writes now reject records that do not decode.

Durability and Linux sync

  • Added DurableWrite::sync_with for files written in place. commit syncs those files with staged files before publishing staged files.
  • On Linux, batches of up to two files sync each file directly, in parallel when applicable. Larger batches use syncfs.

Benchmarks and tests

  • Added benchmarks for indexed record workloads, comparisons with blob objects, and opening or rebuilding an index with 20,000 records.
  • Added tests covering index recovery, skipped records, consistency, concurrent writes, and object listing during compaction.
  • Test execution results were not provided.

Walkthrough

The store now maintains a persistent index for record relationships and arrival order. Batch commits append record entries and synchronize them with stored records. The index can rebuild from store objects, and the store exposes combined loose and packed object IDs.

Changes: Persistent record index

Layer / File(s) Summary
Durable batch synchronization
crates/origin-platform/src/durability.rs, crates/origin-platform/src/native/linux.rs
DurableWrite::sync_with registers in-place-written files for batch syncing. Linux syncs batches of one or two files individually, and uses syncfs for batches of three or more.
Index entries and log format
apps/origin-src/src/index.rs
The index defines entries for revisions, statements, and acceptances. Its versioned log uses tagged, checksummed frames and distinguishes partial trailing frames from damaged logs.
Index queries and recovery
apps/origin-src/src/index.rs
Index::open reads or rebuilds the index. Queries expose arrivals, revisions, heads, divergence, and statements. Tests cover log repair, skipped records, recovery, and concurrent writes.
Store indexing and object enumeration
apps/origin-src/src/lib.rs, apps/origin-src/src/store/*, apps/origin-src/benches/store.rs
Store batches collect index entries and commit them with staged records. Store::ids combines loose and packed IDs. Benchmarks measure record writes, index opening, and rebuilding.
Durability and compaction validation
apps/origin-src/src/targets.rs, apps/origin-src/src/store/packs.rs
The durability expectation counts the acceptance and index-log writes in one sync batch. A concurrency test checks object listing while compaction runs.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review ff9a9

The index can omit stored records after corruption or repeated initialization, fail to rebuild around an invalid compressed object, and skip newly published records when resuming an arrival cursor. Resolve these correctness and recovery gaps before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(index): add the rebuildable record index" matches the main change. The changeset adds a new persistent record index in apps/origin-src/src/index.rs, exposes it through lib.rs, and adds rebuild logic via Index::open and Index::rebuild. The title is specific and concise, and it follows a conventional-commit style. It omits secondary changes such as the Linux sync strategy, the DurableWrite sync_with method, and the Store::ids ordering, but the task allows that.

Assert per-writer arrival order in the concurrent rebuild test.

rebuilds_never_miss_concurrent_writes checks only that each written id is in index.known. It does not read arrivals(). A change that reorders arrivals while rebuilds run would pass this test. Each writer thread writes its records sequentially, so for each writer its ids should appear in arrivals() in write order. Add that check and keep the existing membership check.

Review comments at @apps/origin-src/src/index.rs:
- Around line 682-687: Update Store::entries and the try_read error handling so
zstd decompression failures are classified as skippable corrupt-object errors
during rebuild, while unrelated StoreError::Io failures continue to propagate
through rebuild_locked.
- Around line 613-616: Update the ordering flow around commit_indexed and
Index::read so records receive arrival positions in publication order, ensuring
arrivals() and cursors reflect that order even when batches append and publish
out of order. Establish a safe implementation that preserves concurrent batch
processing; do not serialize batches by holding the exclusive index lock across
append and publish.
- Around line 489-491: Update Index::payload to validate the decoded frame
length before mapping a failed split_at_checked to Broken::Partial. Return
Partial only for a valid frame truncated at the end of the log; route an invalid
or oversized length through the existing corruption handling so Index::read
rebuilds the index.

initialization path, and use the established error mechanism without replacing
an existing index.

Answering "what are this change's heads?" or "which statements are about
this revision?" would otherwise mean reading every record. The index keeps
each change's revisions and heads (more than one head is divergence),
statements by subject, and the order the node received its records in,
in one append-only file, index/log, made of checked frames.

Committing a batch appends its records' entries before publishing them,
and the batch sync makes them durable together, so indexing costs no sync
of its own. A mark appended afterwards, unsynced, says the batch was
published; opening the index checks the records of unmarked batches
against the store. Appenders cut off a frame a crash left partial, and
any other damage, or a missing index, rebuilds it from the store, keeping
the arrival order the old log still knows. Batches hold a shared lock
that a rebuild takes exclusively, so a rebuild never misses one.

DurableWrite gains sync_with, to sync a file written in place with a
batch. On Linux, batches of up to two files now sync each file at once
instead of with syncfs: a record and the index log would otherwise wait
on every other process's writes, which stalled single writes for up to a
second on a busy disk. The store rejects records that don't decode, which
the index couldn't use.
