Lays groundwork for background stream deletion: a durable tombstone marker outside the deleted prefix, an in-memory `deleting` flag on resident streams, and guards in the reload/query/info-endpoint code paths that reject a stream once either is set. Purely additive, no behavior change to the current delete handlers, since nothing yet sets a tombstone or the flag. Prepares for the actual async-delete rewrite in a follow-up PR.
…erable list_dirs_relative only surfaces child directories on every backend (S3/GCS/Azure via list-with-delimiter's common_prefixes, LocalFS via read_dir + is_dir), never leaf objects. A tombstone stored as a bare key named after the stream was therefore invisible to any future scan that needs to discover tombstoned streams rather than check one known name at a time. Move the marker one level deeper, under a directory named after the stream, and add list_tombstoned_streams for that scan.
…lehq#1763) DELETE /logstream/{stream} now writes a tombstone, notifies ingestors, and returns 202 Accepted immediately instead of blocking on the full recursive object-store delete. The actual deletion runs in a deduplicated background task, resumes automatically if the node crashes or restarts mid-delete (via the tombstone left by PR parseablehq#1768's safety net), and self-heals nodes that missed the live notification. Only the node that receives the original DELETE request ever runs the physical delete; ingestors flag the stream as deleting and wait for the tombstone to clear, so a large deletion doesn't get redundantly re-run by every node in the cluster. list_streams() on the local filesystem backend is also fixed to treat a stream mid-deletion as absent rather than erroring out the whole listing.

CI status update: the two Quest integration test failures (Distributed and Standalone) are an expected consequence of this PR's intentional API contract change, not a bug in the implementation. Root causes, confirmed from the CI logs:
Both are already called out under "API contract changes" in the PR description. Quest ( |
parseablehq/parseable#1770 makes DELETE /logstream/{stream} return 202 Accepted instead of 200 OK, since deletion now runs in the background rather than blocking the response. It also makes recreating a stream immediately after deleting it return 409 while the old stream's deletion is still in flight, instead of succeeding right away. Updates DeleteStream to expect 202, and adds a bounded retry-on-409 to the stream creation helpers so tests that delete and immediately recreate the same stream name (a common setup/teardown pattern here) keep working without needing changes at every call site.
|
Opened a companion fix for the Quest test suite: parseablehq/quest#126 (updates the hardcoded 200 assertions to 202, and adds retry-on-409 for tests that recreate a stream right after deleting it). |
…discovery set_metadata replaced the whole LogStreamMetadata wholesale, so a reload racing a delete (e.g. a schema update landing after mark_deleting()) could silently clear the deleting flag back to false despite it being documented as monotonic. Now ORs it in instead of overwriting. list_tombstoned_streams trusted list_dirs_relative's raw directory listing as proof of a marker's existence, but a directory can exist under the tombstone root without the marker itself (e.g. an interrupted write). Each candidate is now re-verified with is_tombstoned before being reported. list_old_streams (unused elsewhere in this codebase, but kept consistent with list_streams) didn't exclude TOMBSTONE_ROOT_DIRECTORY, so dir_with_old_stream would treat it as a corrupt stream directory the same way list_streams did before the earlier fix.
…c-stream-deletion
check_or_load_stream's resident-stream fast path doesn't itself check is_tombstoned (flagged in CodeRabbit's review of parseablehq#1768), so a concurrent request on the same node could slip through in the window between the tombstone becoming durable and mark_deleting() actually running. Moving mark_deleting() before the tombstone write, with no await point in between, closes that window entirely for the initiating node. Cross-node propagation is still bounded by the existing fan-out push and self-heal, not synchronous -- that's an accepted, already-documented limitation of this design, not something this reorder attempts to fix.

How the tombstone-based deletion works The core problem: today, The fix, in three parts:
Cross-node correctness (this is a distributed system, not a single process):
Split into two PRs:

…reate/update Root cause of the Quest distributed CI failure: a node that doesn't run the background deletion job itself (an ingestor) never clears its resident stream's is_deleting flag on its own -- it only self-heals on the next sync_all_streams tick. Recreating a stream shortly after deleting it (a pattern several Quest tests use) landed in the window before that tick, so create_update_stream kept rejecting the recreate with 409 even though the tombstone was already gone. It now re-checks the durable tombstone before trusting the in-memory flag, and clears the flag itself when the tombstone turns out to already be cleared. Also addresses two new CodeRabbit findings on the delete/create race: mark_deleting() plus the tombstone write could interleave with a concurrent create_update_stream on the same node, since only the query node's put_stream held CREATE_STREAM_LOCK and DELETE never did. Standalone and ingestor put_stream/delete had no lock at all. All three now hold the same lock across the is_deleting()-check-through- tombstone-write window.

Dug into the CI failure and the two newest CodeRabbit findings. Distributed Quest failure, root cause found from the raw logs (not the assertion mismatch quest#126 fixes): Right after a stream was deleted and recreated under the same name (a pattern several Quest tests use), ingestion against it kept failing with 409 "is being deleted", even though the delete had long since finished. The querier itself recreated the stream fine, but the ingestor node never got the memo: an ingestor doesn't run the background deletion job, so it only clears its own Fixed by having Two new CodeRabbit findings (both confirmed real):

The stale-flag self-heal added in the previous commit cleared is_deleting()/removed the flag but left stream_in_memory_dont_update untouched, so create_update_stream still fell through to the "Logstream already exists" 400 right after self-healing -- exactly the Quest delete-then-recreate pattern that broke both the standalone and distributed CI runs (TestSmokeIngestEventsToStream: expected 200, got 400). Now the stale entry is dropped from the in-memory map (not just its flag cleared) so get_or_create doesn't hand back the same stale Arc<Stream>, and stream_in_memory_dont_update is corrected so the "already exists" check no longer trips. Also extracted the deletion/tombstone checks in create_update_stream into reject_if_stream_deleting to bring its cyclomatic complexity back down (DeepSource flagged RS-R1000 after the previous commit pushed it to "very-high" risk).

Stacked on #1768.
