📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change moves shard databases behind guarded per-database storage, updates command and persistence paths to use guards, and adds an optional monoio cross-shard read fast path. It also adds counters, integration tests, documentation, and Tokio plus text-index Clippy coverage. ChangesShared database plane
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change enables direct foreign-shard reads, but the current head can resolve reads through a process-global database registry from another live server instance and can expose partially cleared or briefly out-of-sync replicated state; one test group is also nondeterministic. These are concrete merge-readiness risks requiring fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Cross-shard reads cost a park. Fitting per-command CPU against pipeline depth
on GCE t2a-standard-8 (aarch64, 8 vCPU) gives
cost = 0.413 - 0.046*msgs/cmd + 2.488*parks/cmd (CPU%/kops)
2.49 per park, ~zero per message. At p=1 the park term is 85% of the total. A
keyed command whose key lives on another shard takes an SPSC hop and parks
awaiting the reply, because `ShardSlice` is deliberately `!Send + !Sync` -- it
owns VectorStore, TextStore, GraphStore and the lazy registries, none of which
are Sync.
This adds the plane that lets a foreign shard serve a READ on the calling
thread instead, sharing strictly one thing: `Database`. Nothing calls it yet.
Why per-(shard, db) and not a whole-slice lock:
- A whole-slice `RwLock<ShardSlice>` cannot exist in a static without unsafe
(the `_not_send` marker), and sharing it would silently expose the non-Sync
stores cross-thread. `Database` is `Send + Sync` today, so this plane is
entirely safe Rust -- no `unsafe` block is introduced.
- One lock per (shard, db) means a write to db 0 does not exclude a foreign
read of db 3, and never blocks vector/text/graph work. `CachePadded` keeps
the words off each other's lines: s8 x 16 dbs = 8KB, and nothing per key.
The rule that makes it safe to reason about: foreign readers use `try_read`
and NEVER park. One CAS; on failure the command falls through to the SPSC path
it takes today. A foreign reader therefore cannot convoy behind the owner --
the failure mode that collapsed the earlier reply-spin experiment 32x -- and
owner writes cannot be starved by reader arrival rate, because parking_lot
sets WRITER_BIT immediately (even with readers inside) after which every
`try_read` refuses and diverts to SPSC.
Contents:
- `ShardDbSet::{db_count, read, write, try_read, write_pair, write_all}`.
`write_pair` and `write_all` acquire in ascending index order -- the single
deadlock rule in the module.
- `DbReadGuard`/`DbWriteGuard` RAII wrappers. The design returned raw
parking_lot guards alongside a manually-released re-entrancy bit; a bit that
must be released by hand is a bit that leaks on an early return or an
unwind, so the release is Drop-managed and there is a test for the unwind.
- Thread-local re-entrancy mask restoring the loud failure the RefCell used to
give. Re-acquiring a db inside its own guard would DEADLOCK on a real
RwLock where the RefCell merely panicked; the mask panics instead. Foreign
`try_read` pays nothing -- a single non-blocking attempt cannot deadlock.
- `build_sets` split out from `install_registry` so the construction is
testable without poisoning a process-wide OnceLock for every other test in
the binary.
Every guard here was attacked before being trusted. Four mutants, each caught:
1. re-entrancy assert removed -> 1 test failed
2. DepthToken::drop stops releasing -> 4 tests failed
3. per-db granularity collapsed -> 3 tests failed
4. `Rc<()>` field added to Database -> refused to COMPILE
Mutant 4 is the contract the whole design rests on: `static L4_REGISTRY`
requires `Database: Send + Sync`, so anyone who later adds a non-Sync field
breaks the build instead of silently making the shared plane unsound.
Tests: 13 new unit tests, all green; clippy clean; both runtime legs compile.

Behaviour-preserving and unflagged: every site that had exclusive access to a
database before has exclusive access after. This step exists so a later one can
let a foreign shard serve a READ of a key this shard owns without the
cross-shard hop -- and the park that costs.
ShardSlice.databases: Box<[Database]> -> Arc<ShardDbSet>
The Databases now live in a registry of per-(shard, db)
`CachePadded<RwLock<Database>>`, built by `ShardDatabases::new` on the main
thread before any shard thread spawns, so the registry cannot race its readers
into existence. Each shard holds an Arc into its own set.
Why this is worth doing at all. Fitting per-command CPU against pipeline depth
on GCE t2a-standard-8 (aarch64, 8 vCPU):
cost = 0.413 - 0.046*msgs/cmd + 2.488*parks/cmd (CPU%/kops)
2.49 per park, ~zero per message; at p=1 the park term is 85% of the total.
Cross-shard reads pay one park each. Nothing about sending fewer messages helps.
Why per-(shard, db). A write to db 0 must not exclude a read of db 3, and no
lock is taken on any per-key path -- one per command, not per key. s8 x 16 dbs
costs 8KB of padding and nothing per key. A whole-slice lock was measured
(prototype) and is unshippable: it shares the `!Send` ShardSlice, which needs
unsafe and exposes non-Sync vector/text/graph stores.
Why locks rather than something cleverer. Values are heap-owning (Bytes,
HashMap, Listpack) and `get_mut` mutates them in place, so a seqlock can
dereference a freed pointer and epoch/RCU needs copy-on-write on the write hot
path -- an allocation where allocations are banned.
No `unsafe` is introduced. `Database` is Send + Sync, and `static L4_REGISTRY`
now pins that as a compile-time contract: a non-Sync field added to `Database`
breaks the build rather than silently making the plane unsound. The slice's
`!Send` marker is untouched.
Two hazards the compiler cannot see, and what handles them:
- A guard crossing an `.await` deadlocks. Guards are handed out through FnOnce
closures, so a guard cannot escape and cannot cross an await -- the rule is
enforced by the type system, not by review.
- Re-acquiring a database inside its own guard DEADLOCKS on a real RwLock where
the RefCell merely panicked. A thread-local mask restores the loud failure.
`tests/l4_db_guard_recursion.rs` covers it over a real socket, and is proven
discriminating: injecting a live `read(sel_db)` across the FLUSHALL `with_all`
makes it FAIL. It uses HSET and SET..EX, never bare SET, because SET is served
by the inline path and never reaches the arm under test.
144 call sites across 20 files. Four multi-db helpers (`flush_every_database`,
`rdb::save_to_bytes`, `redis_rdb::load_rdb`, `snapshot::shard_snapshot_load`)
became generic over Borrow/BorrowMut<Database>, which left every existing caller
unchanged. Cross-db atomicity is preserved where it was observable: SWAPDB,
FLUSHALL (moon#677), RDB load, PSYNC capture and DEBUG DIGEST take every guard
together rather than looping independent ones.
Two defects found on the way, both fixed here:
- Replica-side SWAPDB would have become a silent no-op. Under `with_all` the
slice is `&mut [&mut Database]`, so the original `mem::swap` would have
exchanged the two REFERENCES in a temporary and left the databases untouched
-- a replica diverging while replying +OK. `ShardDbSet::swap` exchanges
contents under an ascending-ordered pair of write guards.
- `handler_sharded/ft.rs:498` was left unconverted and BOTH standing lint legs
reported green: `handler_sharded` is cfg(runtime-tokio) so the default leg
skips it, and the tokio leg drops `text-index` so it skips that block. Proven
by injecting `let _: u8 = "not a u8";` there -- default 0 errors, tokio 0
errors, tokio+text-index 1. A `clippy (tokio+text-index)` leg is added to
both `scripts/ci-local.sh` and `ci.yml` to close the hole.
Also adds `docs/internal/cross-shard-cost-model.md`: the cost model, the profile
breakdown (83% of moon's user time is not Redis work), seven measured dead ends,
and five of my own claims that turned out to be wrong -- so none get re-derived.
Tests: monoio 6125 passed / 0 failed across 263 binaries; tokio 5331 passed / 0
failed across 262. clippy -D warnings clean on all three feature legs; fmt,
audit-unsafe and audit-unwrap clean. Zero new unsafe blocks.

`with_shard_db` was doing this on every command:
let set = with_shard(|slice| Arc::clone(&slice.databases));
A RefCell borrow plus an Arc INCREMENT and, on drop, a DECREMENT -- two atomic
RMWs per command on top of the two the lock itself needs, doubling the cost the
design budgeted for the owner path.
The registry is a `'static` OnceLock, so a shard's set can be held as
`&'static ShardDbSet` with no refcount traffic at all. `init_shard` publishes
that handle into a thread-local `Cell`, and the per-command path becomes a
thread-local read and nothing else.
The handle is published ONLY when the registry holds the very same set the
slice does, compared by `Arc::ptr_eq` rather than by trusting the shard id.
Unit tests build slices outside the registry; those threads keep the old
Arc-cloning path, which is correct, just slower. Getting this wrong in the
other direction -- caching a handle to a DIFFERENT shard's locks -- would be
silent and catastrophic, so the check is a pointer comparison, not a heuristic.
Both directions are tested, and the liveness test is proven discriminating:
stubbing out the publish makes `init_shard_publishes_the_refcount_free_handle`
FAIL. Without that test a regression here would cost the Arc traffic back and
nothing would go red.
Honest scope: this is NOT the fix for the owner-tax regression measured on
GCE t2a-standard-8. That regression is +3.4% CPU/op at `--shards 8` (paired
median, n=8 interleaved, noise floor 0.20%, 7 of 8 reps positive) and it does
NOT appear at `--shards 1` (-2.6%, inside a 6.3% noise floor). Since the
shards=1 path is where `with_shard_db` dominates, the regression lives on the
CROSS-SHARD path, which does not call this function -- `spsc_handler` takes its
guards directly. The measured 1764 ns/op is also ~80x more than two uncontended
atomics can account for, so the per-command acquire is not a sufficient
explanation either. Localising it needs a profile, not another guess.
This commit stands on its own merits -- fewer atomics on the owner path, with
the safety check and tests to make it maintainable -- and is deliberately not
claimed as the regression fix.

`with_shard_db_read` landed with the L4 plane skeleton and then had zero callers: every owner read still went through `with_shard_db`, taking the database's WRITE lock to serve a GET. This wires up the four owner read sites so a read takes the shared guard the plane was built to provide. Sites converted (each file has a single-key read and the local part of a spanning multi-key read): - src/server/conn/handler_monoio/mod.rs:2517,3444 - src/server/conn/handler_sharded/mod.rs:2034,2818 `dispatch_read` was already written for shared access — its hot-key sketch uses a relaxed fetch_add and a try_lock that drops the sample under contention, with a comment stating this is so "concurrent cross-shard fast-path reads never block here". S3 wires up an intent the read path had already encoded. Correctness is carried by the type system rather than by inspection: the closure parameter goes from `&mut Database` to `&Database`, so any site that needed mutation fails to compile. The plane's own guarantees are already covered in src/shard/db_plane.rs (concurrent_shared_reads_coexist, foreign_try_read_refuses_while_a_writer_holds_the_db, and the re-entrancy panics). No behaviour change, and deliberately no new test: an exclusive holder is replaced by a shared one on a thread that is the sole writer, so nothing previously serialised becomes concurrent yet and no test can distinguish before from after. The win is unlocked by S4, where a foreign shard serves a read of this database instead of hopping to the owner. This does NOT extend to the SPSC batch loop. That loop calls the full `dispatch`, which requires `&mut Database`; switching it to `dispatch_read` to justify a shared guard would reintroduce the moon#610 cold-tier read-bug class. Verified: cargo check --all-targets clean on both runtimes; cargo test monoio 6142 passed / 0 failed (263 binaries), tokio 5348 passed / 0 failed (262 binaries); cargo fmt --check clean. author: Tin Dang
L4 S4. A read whose key lives on a foreign shard no longer pays an SPSC
round-trip: `try_foreign_db_read` takes the owner's per-(shard, db) lock
with a single CAS and runs `dispatch_read` on the calling thread. It never
parks -- if the owner holds the write lock the call returns `None` and the
command falls through to the existing SPSC path unchanged.
This was previously impossible, and the code said so: "ShardSlice is
thread-local; foreign-shard data can only be read via SPSC hop". The L4
shared-read plane removes that blocker -- `Database` now lives behind a
lock in a process-wide registry and is statically asserted `Send + Sync`.
Every decline condition guards a previously-measured failure, not a
hypothetical one:
* `pending_mask` -- serving here while this connection has in-flight
remote work on the target lets the read overtake the connection's own
earlier write (the moon#507/#512 write-loss class).
* `single_owner_shard` -- a spanning multi-key read executed against one
slice reads the wrong table (moon#592). Read straight off
`multikey_placement` so it cannot drift from the routing it mirrors.
* `!is_multi_key_command` -- conservative for v1; an all-on-one-shard
MGET can still have keys the primary-key hotness probe does not cover.
* `db.is_hot` -- `dispatch_read` does not consult the cold tier (the
moon#610 class), so a non-resident key must take the promoting path.
Post-processing mirrors the local read path exactly -- tracking
registration, RESP3 shaping, workspace prefix stripping -- so the fast
path cannot answer differently from the path it replaces.
Measured, two-box GCE ARM (t2a-standard-8, dedicated load generator),
same binary with the flag off vs on, ABBA-ordered, 9 complete reps at
--shards 8 --pipeline 1:
CPU/op -8.41% (median -8.31%, 95% CI -11.67..-5.15)
throughput +10.65%
sign test 9/9 reps cheaper with the fast path on, p=0.0039
fast path served 51.0% of all reads
The --shards 1 negative control (where every read is already local, so
the flag must show nothing) and the p=16 cell are still in flight; the
default therefore stays `off` until the full acceptance matrix clears.
docs/production-guide.md documented this flag, an `auto` default, and two
metrics for a path that was disabled in code and never took a flag at all
-- the server rejected `--cross-shard-fast-path` outright (moon#776). The
flag and both metric names now exist and match what the docs claimed,
with the section rewritten to the honest default and decline conditions.
tests/xshard_cleanup_shape.rs was a tripwire asserting this surface stays
dead. Its premise changed, so it is narrowed rather than silenced: the
five genuinely-dead symbols still fail the build if they return, and a
new two-sided pin asserts the four live symbols stay wired. Both pins
were mutation-checked. The rationale is recorded in the task file.

The S4 commit landed with the acceptance run still in flight and said so. It has now completed -- 120 legs, 0 failures -- so this replaces the "pending" wording everywhere it appears rather than leaving a stale claim in CHANGELOG, the production guide, and the task file. Two-box GCE ARM, same binary toggled only by --cross-shard-fast-path, ABBA-ordered, n=10 reps per cell: s1 p1 -0.05% CI -0.82..+0.72 4/10 p=0.75 0.0% served in place s8 p1 -8.61% CI -11.55..-5.67 10/10 p=0.002 50.5% served in place s8 p16 +6.46% CI -10.05..+22.98 4/10 p=0.75 30.3% served in place The s1 row is the negative control, not a result: every read there is already local, so the path must never fire and must show nothing. It fires 0.0% of the time and its CI straddles zero. That is what makes the s8 p1 row worth believing -- a "win" at s1 would have meant the harness was measuring something other than the flag. The default stays `off` because of s8 p16, NOT because of doubt about s8 p1. At depth 16 the effect is not measurable at this n, and the enabled leg's run-to-run variance roughly doubles (sd 1.24 vs 0.55 us/op, max 7.55 vs 5.23) instead of shifting -- a contention signature rather than a uniform regression. Shipping default-on would hand pipelined deployments an unexplained variance increase for no measured gain. Two open questions are recorded in the task file rather than guessed at here. Capture is only ~58% of eligible reads at p1 (50.5% of all reads where 7/8 are foreign) with no confirmed explanation, and falls to 30.3% at p16 -- plausibly because `pending_mask` declines on any in-flight remote work, so one decline poisons the rest of a pipelined batch for that shard. Narrowing that guard to writes only would raise capture a lot and sits directly on the moon#507/#512 silent-write-loss surface, so it needs its own red test first. Raw data committed alongside the task file as abba_s4_acceptance.csv. Refs: #416, #776 author: Tin Dang
… leg `scripts/ci-local.sh --native` caught what the S4 commit's own gate did not: `cross_shard_reads_take_the_fast_path_and_answer_like_the_slow_one` failed 3 of 3 tries on the tokio suite. Not a flake -- a real gap. The fast path is implemented in `handler_monoio`; `handler_sharded`, which the tokio runtime uses, still routes every cross-shard read through SPSC, so `total_dispatch_cross_read_fast` cannot move there and the test's load-bearing "the counter advanced" assertion fails exactly as designed. The S4 gate ran `cargo check` on the tokio leg, not the tokio test suite, so it never compiled or ran that file. `cargo check` does not build tests. Two things were wrong, and the second is the one that mattered: 1. The test file was not runtime-gated. Now `#![cfg(not(feature = "runtime-tokio"))]`. Gating the WHOLE file, not just the failing test: the other two would have passed vacuously on tokio, reporting the read-your-own-writes ordering guard as verified on a runtime where the path it guards never executes. A vacuous pass is worse than a skip. 2. The server accepted `--cross-shard-fast-path on` under runtime-tokio and silently did nothing -- an operator could tune against a no-op and watch the counter sit at 0 with no explanation. That is precisely the moon#776 failure this feature was written to correct, so reproducing it one runtime over would have been indefensible. Startup now warns on that runtime, and the production guide says so in the flag table. Verified both directions rather than assumed: the tokio leg now builds the file to `running 0 tests`, and the monoio leg still runs 3 passed. Refs: #416, #776 author: Tin Dang
docs/internal/cross-shard-cost-model.md puts a park at ~24.9 core-us and 85% of p=1 cost, and every cross-shard decision since has rested on that. But the park count was never measured -- it was FITTED from a pipeline-depth sweep. Before building park-batching on top of that model, count the thing. `ResponseSlotFuture::poll` is where the decision happens: a first poll that finds the slot already filled did not park, one that finds it empty did. Four counters, all Relaxed (diagnostics, never read for control flow): total_remote_awaits every first poll total_remote_awaits_parked first polls that suspended total_remote_await_repolls later polls still pending (spurious wakes) total_remote_park_concurrency_sum sum of in-flight depth at park time The last one is the load-bearing number. `sum / parked` is the mean count of awaits parked at the moment of parking -- i.e. how many parks a single batched wake could have replaced. ~1 means there is nothing to batch. Re-polls are counted apart from parks on purpose: charging a spurious wake as a park would inflate exactly the number the batching decision is judged on. The in-flight gauge is signed so an unbalanced decrement reads as negative rather than wrapping to ~1.8e19 and looking plausible, and `Drop` releases it when a future is abandoned mid-park (shutdown break, panic-unwind) -- leaking there would make the mean climb without bound. First measurement, local, 4 shards, redis-benchmark c=50, GET: p=1 88,629 cmds 88,629 awaits 88,600 parked -> 0.9997 parks/cmd p=16 147,985 cmds 37,070 awaits 12,498 parked -> 0.0844 parks/cmd Parks per command fall 11.8x from p=1 to p=16. The cost model inferred 14x from curve-fitting; a direct count now corroborates it. Every cross-shard command at p=1 is exactly one await and parks 99.97% of the time. Tests are serialised under a mutex because the counters are process-global and cargo test runs them in threads -- an exact delta is the point of a counter test, so serialise rather than loosen the assertion.

Prevent a foreign read from observing a partial FLUSHALL.
The selected database is cleared before with_all acquires guards and clears the remaining databases. A foreign L4 read can run in that interval and observe one database empty while another still contains keys.

Serialize every test that polls ResponseSlotFuture.
PARK_COUNTERS protects only the two new counter tests. test_future_resolves_after_fill and test_concurrent_fill_from_another_thread also call future_for without this lock. They can increment the process-global counters during the exact-delta assertions, which makes these tests fail nondeterministically.
Acquire this lock in every unit test that polls a ResponseSlotFuture.
Proposed fix
#[test]
fn test_future_resolves_after_fill() {
+ let _serialised = PARK_COUNTERS.lock();
let pool = ResponseSlotPool::new(4, 0);
// ...
}
#[test]

Guard foreign reads with the current shard's registered database set.
When a later ShardDatabases::new cannot install L4_REGISTRY, init_shard leaves MY_DB_SET unset. The monoio fast path still calls try_foreign_db_read, which may read the first server's matching (shard, db) instead of using SPSC. Add cached_db_set()? before resolving shard_dbs(shard).

Stacked on #768 (
perf/pipeline-spanning-multikey-513). Base is that branch, notmain— squash-merging againstmainwould swallow #768's commits into this PR.What this does
A read whose key hashes to a foreign shard no longer pays an SPSC round-trip.
try_foreign_db_readtakes the owner's per-(shard, db)lock with a single CAS and runsdispatch_readon the calling thread. It never parks — if the owner holds the write lock it returnsNoneand the command falls through to the existing SPSC path unchanged.This was previously impossible, and the code said so: "ShardSlice is thread-local; foreign-shard data can only be read via SPSC hop." The L4 plane (S1–S3) removes that blocker —
Databasenow lives behind a lock in a process-wide registry and is statically assertedSend + Sync.Measured
Two-box GCE ARM (
t2a-standard-8server, dedicated load generator), same binary toggled only by the flag, ABBA-ordered, n=10 reps/cell, 120 legs, 0 failures. Raw CSV committed at.add/tasks/xshard-read-fastpath/abba_s4_acceptance.csv.--shards 1, p=1 (control)--shards 8, p=1--shards 8, p=16The
--shards 1row is a negative control, not a result: every read there is already local, so the path must never fire and must show nothing. It fires 0.0% of the time and its CI straddles zero. That is what makes the--shards 8row worth believing — a "win" there would have meant the harness was measuring something other than the flag.Default is
offBecause of the p=16 row, not because of doubt about p=1. At depth 16 the effect is not measurable at n=10 and the enabled leg's variance roughly doubles (sd 1.24 vs 0.55 µs/op) instead of shifting — a contention signature rather than a uniform regression. Shipping default-on would hand pipelined deployments an unexplained variance increase for no measured gain.
Safety gates
Each falls back to SPSC and each guards a previously-measured failure, not a hypothetical one:
pending_mask— serving locally while this connection has in-flight remote work on the target lets the read overtake its own earlier write (shards>=2: MGET in the same pipeline as its SETs returns nulls (co-located keys; read-your-own-writes violated) #507/fix(server): pipeline ordering at --shards >= 2 — inline commands ran ahead of the batch's pending remote writes (#507) #512 write-loss class).single_owner_shard— a spanning multi-key read against one slice reads the wrong table (data loss: every two-key write whose destination is not the routing key lands on the wrong shard (SMOVE, RENAME, *STORE) #592). Read straight offmultikey_placement, the same function the router uses, so the two cannot drift.!is_multi_key_command— conservative for v1.db.is_hot—dispatch_readdoes not consult the cold tier (the STRLEN answers 0 for a tiered key: cold read-through is missing on at least one read path #610 class).try_foreign_db_read→None— the owner is mid-write; attempted, never waited on.Post-processing mirrors the local read path exactly (tracking registration, RESP3 shaping, workspace prefix stripping), so the fast path cannot answer differently from the path it replaces.
Known limitation: monoio only
The dispatch site is in
handler_monoio. Onruntime-tokio(and therefore Windows)handler_shardedstill routes every cross-shard read through SPSC. The tokio suite and hosted Windows check both caught this independently; the flag now warns at startup on that runtime rather than silently doing nothing, which would have reproduced #776 one runtime over. Tokio twin is S5.Open questions (recorded, not guessed)
pending_maskdeclines on any in-flight remote work so one decline poisons the rest of a batch. Narrowing it to writes only sits directly on the shards>=2: MGET in the same pipeline as its SETs returns nulls (co-located keys; read-your-own-writes violated) #507/fix(server): pipeline ordering at --shards >= 2 — inline commands ran ahead of the batch's pending remote writes (#507) #512 surface and needs its own red test first.Gates
