📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Comprehensive refactoring restructuring the codebase from a lib/ based architecture to src/ with reorganized subdirectories, introducing serialization framework, UUID utilities, and Go-based integration testing, while updating core APIs (LSMTree put, Memtable record structure), dependencies, and build configurations.

Sequence Diagram(s)

Conditions for sequence diagram generation are not met for this change set. While the PR introduces new components (serialization, test framework) with multiple interactions, the changes are too heterogeneous and span too many disparate systems (build config, API refactoring, new frameworks, infrastructure updates) to form a coherent sequential flow. The architectural shifts lack a single primary interaction pattern suitable for visualization.

src/server/grpc_server.cpp (4)

39-42: Improve exception handling for better observability.

The exception handling has several issues:

  • Exception is caught by non-const reference (should be const std::exception &e)
  • Exception message is not logged, making debugging difficult
  • Returning CANCELLED status is misleading for unexpected exceptions; consider INTERNAL or UNKNOWN
🔎 Proposed fix
-    catch (std::exception &e)
+    catch (const std::exception &e)
     {
+        spdlog::error("Exception in Put operation: {}", e.what());
-        return grpc::Status::CANCELLED;
+        return grpc::Status{grpc::StatusCode::INTERNAL, e.what()};
     }

60-63: Improve exception handling for better observability.

Same exception handling issues as in the Put method:

  • Exception is caught by non-const reference
  • Exception message is not logged
  • Returning CANCELLED status is misleading
🔎 Proposed fix
-    catch (std::exception &e)
+    catch (const std::exception &e)
     {
+        spdlog::error("Exception in Get operation: {}", e.what());
-        return grpc::Status::CANCELLED;
+        return grpc::Status{grpc::StatusCode::INTERNAL, e.what()};
     }

77-77: Replace exit() calls with exception-based error handling.

Using exit(EXIT_FAILURE) in library/server code prevents graceful error handling, cleanup, and recovery. This is particularly problematic for server components that should handle errors without terminating the process.

Consider throwing exceptions or returning error codes that allow callers to handle failures appropriately.

Also applies to: 83-83, 90-90, 110-110, 119-119


127-127: Add null check before dereferencing m_server.

The shutdown() method dereferences m_server without checking if it's null. If shutdown() is called when the server hasn't been started or after a previous shutdown, this will cause undefined behavior.

🔎 Proposed fix
     try
     {
+        if (!m_server)
+        {
+            spdlog::warn("gRPC server is not running, nothing to shutdown");
+            return;
+        }
         m_server->Shutdown();
     }
src/structures/lsmtree/segments/lsmtree_segment_factory.cpp (1)

6-10: Fix parameter order in factory function signature to match constructor expectations.

The factory function signature declares parameters as name, path, memtable, but passes them to the constructor as path, name, memtable. This creates a critical mismatch: callers using positional arguments will have name and path values silently swapped when constructing the segment. Change the signature to lsmtree_segment_factory(fs::path_t path, types::name_t name, memtable::memtable_t memtable) to match the constructor's expected parameter order.

src/include/server/server_kind.h (1)

13-17: Remove obsolete tcp_k enum value.

The enum retains tcp_k even though TCP support has been removed (TCP_STR_VIEW removed, TCP factory specialization removed per context). This creates dead code and will cause compilation failures if tcp_k is passed to the factory function (no specialization exists for it).

🔎 Suggested fix
 enum class communication_strategy_kind_k : uint8_t
 {
-    tcp_k,
     grpc_k
 };

Additionally, verify and update the to_string and from_string function implementations to remove tcp handling.

#!/bin/bash
# Verify if tcp_k is still referenced elsewhere in the codebase

# Search for references to tcp_k enum value
rg -n 'tcp_k' --type=cpp --type=h -g '!server_kind.h'

# Search for string "tcp" in server-related context
rg -n '"tcp"' src/include/server/ src/lib/server/ --type=cpp --type=h

# Check the implementation of to_string and from_string functions
fd -e cpp 'server_kind' src/ --exec cat {}
src/include/server/server_factory.h (1)

14-21: Critical: Factory template incompatible with enum definition.

The factory function signature (line 23) accepts communication_strategy_kind_k as a template parameter, but this enum includes tcp_k (see relevant snippet from server_kind.h lines 13-16). However, only the grpc_communication_t specialization exists (line 18). Attempting to instantiate factory<communication_strategy_kind_k::tcp_k>() will fail at compile time with no matching specialization.

This issue is coupled with the tcp_k enum value retention in server_kind.h that should be removed as part of TCP desupport.

🔎 Recommended fixes

Option 1 (Recommended): Remove tcp_k from the enum in server_kind.h (already flagged in that file's review).

Option 2 (Defense-in-depth): Add a static_assert to catch misuse at compile time:

 template <communication_strategy_kind_k kind> [[nodiscard]] auto factory() noexcept
 {
+    static_assert(kind == communication_strategy_kind_k::grpc_k, 
+                  "Only gRPC communication strategy is supported");
     try
     {
         return typename CommunicationFactory<kind>::type();
#!/bin/bash
# Check if tcp_k is used anywhere with the factory

# Search for factory instantiations
rg -n 'factory<.*tcp' --type=cpp --type=h

# Search for main_server calls that might use tcp_k
rg -n 'main_server.*tcp' --type=cpp --type=h

# Look for any enum usage of tcp_k
rg -n 'communication_strategy_kind_k::tcp_k' --type=cpp --type=h

Also applies to: 23-34

src/db/db.cpp (1)

356-364: Data race: requestFailed requires WriterMutexLock, but the lock acquired is ReaderMutexLock.

requestFailed() modifies m_pendingRequests (erases entries and sets promise values), but line 358 acquires a ReaderMutexLock. This causes undefined behavior when multiple threads attempt to modify the map concurrently.

🔎 Proposed fix
         if (!timedOut.empty())
         {
-            absl::ReaderMutexLock locker{&m_pendingMutex};
+            absl::WriterMutexLock locker{&m_pendingMutex};
             for (auto id : timedOut)
             {
                 requestFailed(id);
             }
         }
src/include/structures/skiplist/skiplist.h (1)

178-196: Double std::forward on the same variable causes undefined behavior.

In the insert path (line 183), record is forwarded (potentially moved from). If the key already exists, the code falls through to line 192 where it attempts to forward the same record again at line 195. If record was moved in the first branch, this second forward operates on a moved-from object.

🔎 Proposed fix

Since the two branches are mutually exclusive (current == nullptr || current->record.m_key != record.m_key vs current->record.m_key == record.m_key), the double forward won't actually happen at runtime. However, the else if condition is redundant given the previous if. Consider restructuring for clarity:

         current = current->forward[0];
         if (current == nullptr || current->record.m_key != record.m_key)
         {
             // Insert new node
             node_shared_ptr_t newNode =
                 std::make_shared<node_t>(std::forward<TRecord>(record), m_level);
             for (std::int64_t i{0}; i <= newLevel; i++)
             {
                 newNode->forward[i] = to_be_updated[i]->forward[i];
                 to_be_updated[i]->forward[i] = newNode;
             }

             m_size++;
         }
-        else if (current->record.m_key == record.m_key)
+        else
         {
             // Update value of the existing node
             current->record = std::forward<TRecord>(record);
         }
src/include/concurrency/thread_safe_queue.h (2)

71-81: Move constructor does not transfer m_reservedIndex.

The move constructor only transfers m_queue but leaves m_reservedIndex at its default (nullopt). If the source had an active reservation, it will be silently lost, and the source will retain a stale reservation state.

🔎 Proposed fix
 template <typename TItem>
 inline thread_safe_queue_t<TItem>::thread_safe_queue_t(thread_safe_queue_t &&other) noexcept
-    : m_queue{
+    : m_reservedIndex{
+          [&other]() -> std::optional<std::uint64_t>
+          {
+              absl::WriterMutexLock lock{&other.m_mutex};
+              auto idx = std::move(other.m_reservedIndex);
+              other.m_reservedIndex = std::nullopt;
+              return idx;
+          }()
+      },
+      m_queue{
           [&other]() -> queue_t
           {
               absl::WriterMutexLock lock{&other.m_mutex};
               return std::move(other.m_queue);
           }
-      }
+      }()
 {
 }

Note: The current implementation also has a potential issue with acquiring the lock twice (once per lambda). Consider refactoring to a single lock acquisition.


83-93: Move assignment does not transfer m_reservedIndex.

Similar to the move constructor, the move assignment operator only transfers m_queue, losing any active reservation state.

🔎 Proposed fix
 template <typename TItem>
 inline auto thread_safe_queue_t<TItem>::operator=(thread_safe_queue_t &&other) noexcept
     -> thread_safe_queue_t &
 {
     if (this != &other)
     {
         absl_dual_mutex_lock_guard lock{m_mutex, other.m_mutex};
         m_queue = std::move(other.m_queue);
+        m_reservedIndex = std::move(other.m_reservedIndex);
+        other.m_reservedIndex = std::nullopt;
     }
     return *this;
 }
src/include/structures/memtable/memtable.h (2)

242-256: m_sequenceNumber is not serialized in write() or deserialized in read().

The record_t::write() and record_t::read() templates serialize/deserialize m_key, m_value, and m_timestamp, but omit m_sequenceNumber. This will cause data corruption when records are persisted and later read back, as the sequence number will be lost.

🔎 Proposed fix
 template <typename TSTream> void memtable_t::record_t::write(TSTream &outStream) const
 {
     m_key.write(outStream);
     outStream << ' ';
     m_value.write(outStream);
     outStream << ' ';
+    outStream << m_sequenceNumber << ' ';
     m_timestamp.write(outStream);
 }

 template <typename TSTream> void memtable_t::record_t::read(TSTream &outStream)
 {
     m_key.read(outStream);
     m_value.read(outStream);
+    outStream >> m_sequenceNumber;
     m_timestamp.read(outStream);
 }

232-237: Type mismatch between write() and read() for timestamp.

write() casts to std::uint64_t, but read() uses clock_t::rep (which is std::int64_t for most implementations). Additionally, read() reconstructs using clock_t::time_point and clock_t::duration, but the timestamp uses precision_t (nanoseconds), not the clock's native duration.

🔎 Proposed fix
 template <typename TSTream> void memtable_t::record_t::timestamp_t::write(TSTream &outStream) const
 {
-    outStream << static_cast<std::uint64_t>(m_value.time_since_epoch().count());
+    outStream << m_value.time_since_epoch().count();
 }

 template <typename TSTream> void memtable_t::record_t::timestamp_t::read(TSTream &outStream)
 {
-    clock_t::rep count = 0;
+    precision_t::rep count = 0;
     outStream >> count;
-    m_value = clock_t::time_point{clock_t::duration{count}};
+    m_value = time_point_t{precision_t{count}};
 }
src/structures/lsmtree/levels/level.cpp (2)

46-46: Redundant double std::move on manifest.

std::move(std::move(manifest)) is redundant. The inner std::move already converts to an rvalue reference; the outer one has no additional effect and reduces readability.

Proposed fix
-      m_manifest{std::move(std::move(manifest))}
+      m_manifest{std::move(manifest)}

159-165: Comment mentions timestamp-based deduplication, but logic only checks key equality.

The comment states "choose the one with the greatest timestamp," but the code only checks lastKey != current.first->m_key. If duplicate keys exist across segments with different timestamps, the first one encountered wins, not the one with the greatest timestamp. Either update the comment to reflect actual behavior or implement timestamp comparison.

src/include/config/config.h (1)

28-31: std::forward missing template argument - compilation error.

std::forward(args)... will not compile. std::forward requires an explicit template argument to properly forward the value category.

Proposed fix
 template <typename... Args> auto make_shared(Args... args)
 {
-    return std::make_shared<config_t>(std::forward(args)...);
+    return std::make_shared<config_t>(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
 }

Additionally, Args... args should be Args&&... args for perfect forwarding:

-template <typename... Args> auto make_shared(Args... args)
+template <typename... Args> auto make_shared(Args&&... args)
src/config/config.cpp (2)

244-244: Wrong format specifier.

fmt::format uses {} placeholders, not %s. This will output the literal %s instead of the logging level.

🔎 Proposed fix
-        throw std::runtime_error(fmt::format("Unknown logging level: %s", loggingLevel));
+        throw std::runtime_error(fmt::format("Unknown logging level: {}", loggingLevel));

438-441: Wrong error message.

The error message says "id" but this block handles the missing "peers" field.

🔎 Proposed fix
     if (configJson.contains("peers"))
     {
         dbConfig->ServerConfig.peers = configJson["peers"].get<std::vector<std::string>>();

1-21: Remove or complete the unused segment_serializer header and implementation files.

The header and corresponding implementation file (segment_serializer.cpp) are completely empty scaffolding that is not referenced anywhere in the codebase. The header contains eleven includes (standard library, spdlog, magic_enum, and internal serialization/segment headers) with no symbols used within the empty namespace. The .cpp file is also empty (0 bytes).

If segment serialization helpers were planned to support the flush() and restore() methods in regular_segment_t, either complete these utilities or remove the unused files to avoid confusion and maintain a clean codebase.

24-28: Address the skipped field number in LogEntry.

Field number 3 is skipped (jumps from 2 to 4). If this was intentional to reserve the number for future use or due to a removed field, explicitly mark it as reserved for clarity:

reserved 3;

Otherwise, renumber the payload field to use field number 3.

55-59: Change vote_granted to bool type.

In standard Raft, vote_granted indicates whether a vote was granted (true) or denied (false). Using uint32 instead of bool is non-standard and error-prone. This should be changed to bool for clarity and correctness.

30-38: Remove redundant sender_id field.

In standard Raft, the sender of AppendEntries is always the leader. Having both leader_id (field 2) and sender_id (field 7) creates redundancy and potential inconsistency. Additionally, there's a type mismatch: leader_id is a string while sender_id is uint32.

Consider removing sender_id or clarifying why both are needed with documentation.

🔎 Proposed fix to remove sender_id
 message AppendEntriesRequest {
   uint32 term = 1;
   string leader_id = 2;

47-53: Remove redundant sender_id field and address field numbering.

In standard Raft, the sender of RequestVote is always the candidate. Having both candidate_id (field 2) and sender_id (field 7) is redundant. Additionally, field numbering jumps from 4 to 7, skipping 5 and 6.

Consider removing sender_id or marking fields 5-6 as reserved if they were previously used.

🔎 Proposed fix to remove sender_id and adjust numbering

58-60: Implement or disable delete and exists operations.

These operations return "operation not implemented" errors, which will cause test failures when they're randomly selected (lines 101-108). Consider either:

  1. Implementing the operations
  2. Removing them from the operation selection logic until they're ready

Would you like me to generate implementations for these operations?

tests/go/kvtest/pkg/core/kvstore.go-34-39 (1)

34-39: Use appropriate error types for predefined KV errors.

The predefined errors use semantically incorrect underlying error types:

  • ErrKeyNotFound uses context.DeadlineExceeded, which suggests a timeout occurred
  • ErrPutFailed and ErrDeleteFailed use context.Canceled, which suggests context cancellation

These context errors don't accurately represent the domain-specific failures. Consider using errors.New() or custom sentinel errors instead.

🔎 Proposed fix
+import (
+	"context"
+	"errors"
+)
+
 // Predefined errors
 var (
-	ErrKeyNotFound  = &KVError{Op: "get", Err: context.DeadlineExceeded}
-	ErrPutFailed    = &KVError{Op: "put", Err: context.Canceled}
-	ErrDeleteFailed = &KVError{Op: "delete", Err: context.Canceled}
+	ErrKeyNotFound  = &KVError{Op: "get", Err: errors.New("key not found")}

94-110: Clarify the operation selection logic.

The TODOs and comments in this function are confusing:

  • Lines 102-104: Comment says "Should be 'exists'" but returns "delete"
  • Lines 106-108: Comment says "Should be 'exists'" but returns "exists"

The probability distribution also seems incomplete:

  • Read: < readRatio
  • Write: < readRatio + writeRatio
  • Delete: < readRatio + writeRatio + 0.1 (hardcoded 10%)
  • Exists: everything else

This means if readRatio (0.7) + writeRatio (0.3) = 1.0, delete and exists will never be selected. Clarify the intended behavior and either fix the logic or remove unimplemented operations.

2-3: Compiler version mismatch: Profile uses non-versioned clang binaries but specifies compiler.version=20.

The profile sets CC=/usr/bin/clang and CXX=/usr/bin/clang++ (lines 2-3) while explicitly requiring compiler.version=20 (line 10). This creates an inconsistency: the non-versioned binaries may not point to clang 20, and different environments may have different default clang versions, causing builds to silently use a mismatched compiler.

51-56: Missing bounds check in from_bytes() can cause buffer overread.

from_bytes() copies bytes.size() bytes without verifying that it equals sizeof(T). If the input span is smaller than expected, this causes undefined behavior; if larger, it only copies what fits but the caller may have intended different semantics.

🔎 Proposed fix

     {
+        if (bytes.size() != sizeof(T))

src/serialization/endian_integer_test.cpp-9-16 (1)

9-16: Test helper to_bytes produces platform-dependent byte order.

The to_bytes helper uses std::memcpy, which preserves the native byte order of the platform. However, endian_integer<T> defaults to std::endian::little (as seen in Line 12 of endian_integer.h). On big-endian systems, the FromBytes test at Line 56 will fail because to_bytes produces big-endian bytes while endian_integer produces little-endian bytes.

src/structures/lsmtree/lsmtree_test_basic.cpp-215-256 (1)

215-256: Timing-dependent test relies on fixed sleep duration due to lack of public flush completion API.

Line 239 uses std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1)) to wait for background flush operations to complete. While internal synchronization mechanisms exist (e.g., absl::Notification in levels_t), they are not exposed through the public LSMTree API. This forces the test to rely on a fixed sleep duration, which can be flaky under load.

Consider adding a public API method to LSMTree that allows tests to wait deterministically for flush completion (e.g., waitForFlush() with timeout, or a status query like isPendingFlush()), similar to how the internal compaction thread uses absl::Notification::WaitForNotificationWithTimeout().

226-232: Silently ignoring compaction failures may mask issues.

The commented-out error log and lack of any failure handling means compaction errors will go unnoticed. Consider at least logging at debug level or tracking failure metrics.

Proposed fix
             auto ok{compact()};
             if (!ok)
             {
-                // spdlog::error("Compaction failed.");

src/fs/random_access_file.cpp-140-153 (1)

140-153: errno is not meaningful when m_fd == -1 check fails.

When m_fd == -1, no system call failed - this is just a state check. Capturing errno here is misleading since it reflects some previous, unrelated syscall (or is undefined). Consider setting system_errno to 0 or removing it from this error path.

Proposed fix
     if (m_fd == -1)
     {
         return std::unexpected(
             file_error_t{
                 .code = file_error_code_k::invalid_file_descriptor,
-                .system_errno = errno,
+                .system_errno = 0,
                 .message = fmt::format("Invalid file descriptor. fd={}", m_fd),

     }
src/fs/random_access_file.cpp-261-270 (1)

261-270: Empty path check captures stale errno.

When path.empty() is true, no system call has failed, so errno and strerror(errno) are meaningless or reflect a previous unrelated call.

Proposed fix
     if (path.empty())
     {
         return std::unexpected(
             file_error_t{
                 .code = file_error_code_k::open_failed,

403-405: spdlog::error format string mismatch - two placeholders, one argument.

The format string contains two {} placeholders but only m_nodeConfig.m_id and m_commitIndex are provided, while the message mentions "commitIndex" twice.

Proposed fix
-            spdlog::error(

src/include/serialization/buffer_reader.h-90-90 (1)

90-90: Potential truncation on 32-bit platforms.

count is std::uint64_t but read_raw_bytes takes std::size_t. On 32-bit systems, this could truncate large values. Consider adding a bounds check or using std::size_t for count.

src/include/common/uuid.h-874-880 (1)

874-880: Thread-safety issue in get_clock_sequence().

The static std::mt19937 clock_gen and std::uniform_int_distribution clock_dis are not thread-safe. Concurrent calls can corrupt RNG state. While clock_sequence is atomic, the initialization race on clock_dis(clock_gen) is problematic.

Since this is behind UUID_TIME_GENERATOR and has a "DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION" warning, this may be acceptable, but consider adding a mutex if this code path is used.

src/include/common/uuid.h-29-33 (1)

29-33: Remove unreachable GSL fallback—project requires C++23.

The project's CMakeLists.txt sets CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 23, which is well beyond the C++20 threshold in the conditional check. This means LIBUUID_CPP20_OR_GREATER is always true and the #else branch (lines 31–32) is unreachable dead code.

Remove the fallback:

 #ifdef LIBUUID_CPP20_OR_GREATER
 #include <span>
-#else
-#include <gsl/span>
 #endif

Note: While GSL is removed from this header, the project still lists Microsoft.GSL as a required dependency in the main CMakeLists.txt (used elsewhere), so broader GSL removal would require additional changes.

2-3: Version mismatch between compiler binary and declared version.

The CC/CXX paths reference clang-19, but compiler.version declares 21. Conan will generate flags for clang 21 while actually using clang 19, potentially causing ABI issues or build failures.

🔎 Proposed fix

Either update the binary paths to match version 21:

 [buildenv]
-CC=/usr/bin/clang-19
-CXX=/usr/bin/clang++-19
+CC=/usr/bin/clang-21
+CXX=/usr/bin/clang++-21
 CXXFLAGS=-fsanitize=thread -g -O1

Or use unversioned paths like debug-clang:

 [buildenv]
-CC=/usr/bin/clang-19
-CXX=/usr/bin/clang++-19
+CC=/usr/bin/clang
+CXX=/usr/bin/clang++

src/include/structures/skiplist/skiplist.h (1)

157-195: Use newLevel instead of m_level for node construction.

On line 182, the new node should be constructed with newLevel (the node's assigned random level), not m_level (the skiplist's current maximum level). In standard skiplist implementations, each node is allocated with capacity for its own random level, not the global maximum. Using newLevel ensures proper memory efficiency and correct skiplist semantics.

-            auto newNode = std::make_shared<node_t>(std::forward<TRecord>(record), m_level);
+            auto newNode = std::make_shared<node_t>(std::forward<TRecord>(record), newLevel);
src/structures/lsmtree/lsmtree.cpp (3)

381-394: Return nullopt when level recreation fails.

Lines 381-385 detect when level recreation fails and break the loop, but line 394 still returns the partially constructed pLevels object. This could result in using corrupted or incomplete LSM tree state, potentially causing data loss or crashes. The function should return std::nullopt when failedToRecreateLevel is true.

🔎 Proposed fix to halt on unrecoverable errors
         if (failedToRecreateLevel)
         {
             spdlog::error("Failed to recreate level {}", lastLevelIndex);
             break;
         }
     }
 
+    if (failedToRecreateLevel)
+    {
+        spdlog::error("Cannot proceed with incomplete level structure");
+        return std::nullopt;
+    }
+
     spdlog::debug("Restoring levels");
     pLevels->restore();
     spdlog::debug("Recovery finished");
 
     pManifest->enable();
 
     return std::make_optional<std::unique_ptr<levels::levels_t>>(std::move(pLevels));

55-74: Address the unused error variant in the put() method signature.

The method returns std::expected<lsmtree_success_k, lsmtree_error_k> but never returns the error variant—all code paths return success variants (ok_k or memtable_reset_k). Additionally, memtable_t::emplace() returns void and cannot fail gracefully. Either:

  1. Implement proper error handling (e.g., catch allocation failures in memtable operations and return lsmtree_error_k::put_failed_k), or
  2. Change the return type to lsmtree_success_k and remove the unused error variant if no error cases are planned.

The existing TODO comment at line 62 ("Can memtable emplace fail?") indicates this gap is already known.


221-253: Add error handling for protobuf parsing in WAL recovery.

Line 224 calls ParseFromString without checking if parsing succeeded. The protobuf library's ParseFromString method returns booltrue on successful parsing, false on invalid or corrupted data. If parsing fails, dbOperation will contain default values, causing incorrect recovery behavior or silent data corruption.

All four ParseFromString calls in the codebase lack error checking, making this a systemic issue. Add validation before using the parsed operation:

Proposed fix
     for (const auto &walEntries{pWal->records()}; const raft::v1::LogEntry &walEntry : walEntries)
     {
         tinykvpp::v1::DatabaseOperation dbOperation;
-        dbOperation.ParseFromString(walEntry.payload());
+        if (!dbOperation.ParseFromString(walEntry.payload()))
+        {
+            spdlog::error("Failed to parse DatabaseOperation from WAL entry");
+            continue;
+        }
 
         switch (dbOperation.type())

62-66: Test proto has not been updated to match the main proto.

Using bytes instead of string for payloads in the main proto is appropriate for binary payload data and remains wire-compatible. However, the test proto at tests/go/kvtest/proto/raft/v1/raft_service.proto still defines repeated string payloads = 3; (line 64) and needs to be updated to repeated bytes payloads = 3; for consistency.

Additionally, the test proto's LogEntry is missing the reserved 3; field declaration present in the main proto.

261-270: Inconsistent errno usage when path is empty.

When the path is empty, no system call has failed, so errno may contain a stale value from a previous unrelated operation. The system_errno is correctly set to 0, but the message uses strerror(errno) which is misleading.

67-74: Remove the duplicate operator>> definition from the test file.

This operator>> is already defined in src/include/raft/raft.h (lines 31-34) and duplicated here. Additionally, it is not used anywhere in this test file, making it dead code. Remove lines 67-74 entirely and rely on the header definition.

Note: The implementation pattern (using stream.str()) differs from other operators in the codebase (manifest.h and wal_test.cpp), which use direct stream extraction. Consider whether the LogEntry operator should follow the same pattern for consistency.

Additionally, the reserve/consume API would benefit from:

  • Explanation of the use case and typical usage pattern

src/include/serialization/buffer_reader.h-52-70 (1)

52-70: Validate the 10th byte value to prevent overflow.

When processing the 10th varint byte (at shift=63, line 60), the code doesn't validate that only bit 0 is set. A properly encoded 64-bit varint should ensure byte 9 contains at most the value 1. If a malformed varint has byte 9 with value 0x7F (127), the expression (0x7F << 63) will overflow the uint64_t, producing incorrect results.

Consider adding validation before the shift on byte 9:

🔎 Proposed fix
         while (byteCount < MAX_VARINT_BYTES)
         {
             const auto bytes{read_raw_bytes(1)};

src/include/serialization/buffer_reader.h-18-21 (1)

18-21: Change buffer_reader_t to use const spans for true read-only semantics.

The constructor and internal buffer should accept and store std::span<const std::byte> instead of std::span<std::byte>. The class only reads from the buffer—all public methods parse data into output parameters without modifying the buffer itself. Using mutable spans unnecessarily allows callers to mutate the buffer through returned spans, violating const-correctness and increasing the risk of subtle bugs in concurrent or shared-buffer scenarios.

src/structures/lsmtree/levels/levels.cpp-219-234 (1)

219-234: Improve error handling and remove commented code.

The compaction task loop has several issues:

  1. Commented-out error log (line 229): Either remove it or uncomment it to handle errors properly.
  2. Ambiguous null return: The TODO comment (lines 231-232) notes that compact() returns null for both "compaction didn't happen" and "error" cases, causing false positives. This design makes error handling unclear.

Consider one of these approaches:

🔎 Option 1: Use std::optional to distinguish "no compaction" from "error"

Update compact() to return std::optional<shared_ptr_t> where:

  • std::nullopt = no compaction needed (not an error)
  • std::optional with null pointer = error
  • std::optional with valid pointer = success

Then handle explicitly:

auto result = compact();
if (!result.has_value()) {
    // No compaction needed, not an error
} else if (!result.value()) {
    spdlog::error("Compaction failed.");
} else {
    // Compaction succeeded
}
🔎 Option 2: Return a status or result type
enum class CompactionResult { Success, NotNeeded, Error };
struct CompactionOutcome {
    CompactionResult status;
    segments::regular_segment::shared_ptr_t segment;
};

This makes the three states explicit.

Line 57 introduces a u32 timestamp in the Body section without explaining its purpose. Is this a write timestamp, last-access time, or something else? This should be documented to avoid implementation ambiguity.


9-44: Specify byte order (endianness) for multi-byte fields.

The spec defines u32 and u64 fields (magic, version, body_offset, index_offset, payload_size, checksum, seq_num, timestamp, body_off) but does not state whether they are serialized as big-endian or little-endian. This is critical for cross-platform compatibility. Add a section explicitly stating endianness (e.g., "All multi-byte integers are stored in little-endian byte order").

src/include/fs/mmap_random_access_file.h (1)

26-30: Consider using unsigned types for offsets.

The write method uses ssize_t offset (signed) while read also uses ssize_t offset. File offsets are typically non-negative. Using size_t or off_t would be more consistent with POSIX conventions and prevent accidental negative offset values.

🔎 Proposed fix
-    [[nodiscard]] auto write(std::string_view data, ssize_t offset) noexcept
+    [[nodiscard]] auto write(std::string_view data, off_t offset) noexcept
         -> std::expected<ssize_t, file_error_t>;

-    [[nodiscard]] auto read(ssize_t offset, char *buffer, size_t size) noexcept
+    [[nodiscard]] auto read(off_t offset, char *buffer, size_t size) noexcept
         -> std::expected<std::size_t, file_error_t>;

37-64: Consider removing commented-out code.

Large blocks of commented-out code add noise and can become stale. If the multi-stage build is no longer needed, remove it entirely. If it's temporarily disabled for debugging or future use, consider adding a brief comment explaining the intent or tracking removal in an issue.

proto/raft/v1/raft_service.proto (1)

24-29: Consider reserving the field name alongside the field number.

When reserving a removed field, protobuf best practice is to reserve both the field number and the field name to prevent accidental reuse of either:

reserved 3;
reserved "old_field_name";

This provides better documentation and prevents future developers from accidentally reusing the field name with a different number.

tests/go/kvtest/pkg/scenarios/readyourwrites.go (1)

57-57: Consider more readable error formatting for byte values.

The current format with %v prints byte slices as numeric arrays, which can be hard to read during debugging. Consider using %s for string representation or %x for hex encoding to improve readability of test failures.

💡 Example alternatives
-return fmt.Errorf("data consistency error: expected %v, got %v", expectedValue, value)
+return fmt.Errorf("data consistency error: expected %q, got %q", expectedValue, value)

Or for hex representation:

-return fmt.Errorf("data consistency error: expected %v, got %v", expectedValue, value)
+return fmt.Errorf("data consistency error: expected %x, got %x", expectedValue, value)
src/include/structures/memtable/memtable.h (5)

22-36: Consider adding noexcept to comparison operators.

The comparison operators (operator<, operator>, operator==) compare strings and could be marked noexcept since string comparison operations don't throw in this context.

🔎 Suggested noexcept additions
-            auto operator<(const key_t &other) const -> bool;
-            auto operator>(const key_t &other) const -> bool;
-            auto operator==(const key_t &other) const -> bool;
+            auto operator<(const key_t &other) const noexcept -> bool;
+            auto operator>(const key_t &other) const noexcept -> bool;
+            auto operator==(const key_t &other) const noexcept -> bool;

67-68: TODO: Address the default constructor concern or document why it's needed.

The TODO comment indicates uncertainty about whether the default constructor should exist. Consider either:

  1. Removing the default constructor if records should always be fully initialized
  2. Documenting why it's needed (e.g., for container compatibility)
  3. Making it = delete if it shouldn't be used

If you'd like to track this as a separate task, I can help create an issue to address this design decision.


76-78: Add noexcept to comparison operators if appropriate.

Similar to the key_t operators, these record comparison operators could be marked noexcept for better performance and clearer exception guarantees.

🔎 Suggested noexcept additions
-        auto operator<(const record_t &record) const -> bool;
-        auto operator>(const record_t &record) const -> bool;
-        auto operator==(const record_t &record) const -> bool;
+        auto operator<(const record_t &record) const noexcept -> bool;
+        auto operator>(const record_t &record) const noexcept -> bool;
+        auto operator==(const record_t &record) const noexcept -> bool;

96-98: Remove commented-out code.

The commented-out sorted_vector alternative should either be removed or, if it represents a viable alternative implementation, moved to documentation or design notes. Commented code in production headers reduces readability.

🔎 Proposed cleanup
-    // using storage_t = typename sorted_vector::sorted_vector_t<record_t,
-    // record_comparator_by_key_t>;
     using storage_t = typename skiplist::skiplist_t<record_t, record_comparator_by_key_t>;

If this represents an important design consideration, document it in a separate design doc or ADR (Architecture Decision Record).


105-105: Consider taking record_t by const reference or forwarding reference.

The emplace method takes record_t by value, which means the caller must always move or copy. Consider using a forwarding reference or const reference depending on the intended semantics:

  • void emplace(const record_t &record) if you need to keep the original
  • void emplace(record_t &&record) if you only accept rvalues
  • Current signature requires the caller to explicitly move

The current signature forces a move at the call site, which is explicit but may be less flexible. If you want to accept both lvalues and rvalues efficiently, consider:

void emplace(record_t &&record);  // Accept only rvalues (explicit move required)

or for maximum flexibility:

template<typename T>
void emplace(T&& record);  // Perfect forwarding
src/structures/lsmtree/lsmtree_test_basic.cpp (4)

123-135: Remove unused variable.

Line 125 declares randomKeys but never uses it. This appears to be leftover from copying the test template.

🔎 Proposed fix
 TEST(LSMTreeTestBasicCRUD, GetNonExistentKey)
 {
-    const auto &randomKeys = common::generateRandomStringPairVector(16_B);
     auto        pConfig{generateConfig(16_B, 64_B, 128_B)};
     auto        pLsm{generateLSMTree(pConfig)};

137-163: Remove unused variable.

Line 139 declares randomKeys but never uses it, similar to the previous test.

🔎 Proposed fix
 TEST(LSMTreeTestBasicCRUD, UpdateExistingKey)
 {
-    const auto &randomKeys = common::generateRandomStringPairVector(16_B);
     auto        pConfig{generateConfig(16_B, 64_B, 128_B)};
     auto        pLsm{generateLSMTree(pConfig)};

165-177: Remove unused variable.

Line 167 declares randomKeys but never uses it, same pattern as the previous tests.

🔎 Proposed fix
 TEST(LSMTreeTestBasicCRUD, EmptyTreeGet)
 {
-    const auto &randomKeys = common::generateRandomStringPairVector(16_B);
     auto        pConfig{generateConfig(16_B, 64_B, 128_B)};
     auto        pLsm{generateLSMTree(pConfig)};

239-239: Replace fixed sleep with proper synchronization.

The hardcoded 1-second sleep suggests the test depends on asynchronous flush completion. This creates timing dependencies that make tests slower and potentially flaky if the flush takes longer under load.

Consider replacing with:

  • An explicit flush/sync operation if available on the LSMTree API
  • A polling mechanism with timeout
  • Event-based synchronization if the LSMTree supports flush completion callbacks
src/include/serialization/endian_integer.h (2)

16-19: Consider constraining template parameter T to integral types.

The template accepts any type T, but endianness conversion is primarily meaningful for integer types. Using endian_integer with floating-point types or pointers could lead to subtle bugs or misuse.

🔎 Proposed constraint using concepts
-template <typename T, std::endian Target = std::endian::little> class endian_integer
+template <std::integral T, std::endian Target = std::endian::little> 
+class endian_integer
 {
   public:
     static constexpr size_t SIZE = sizeof(T);

Alternatively, use a static assertion inside the class:

 template <typename T, std::endian Target = std::endian::little> class endian_integer
 {
   public:
+    static_assert(std::is_integral_v<T>, "endian_integer requires an integral type");
     static constexpr size_t SIZE = sizeof(T);

51-58: Optional: Optimize from_bytes to avoid unnecessary initialization.

The method creates endian_integer result{0}, which initializes m_bytes via the constructor, then immediately overwrites those bytes. While functionally correct, this is slightly inefficient.

🔎 Proposed optimization

Add a private default constructor and use it in from_bytes:

     static auto from_bytes(std::span<const std::byte> bytes) -> endian_integer
     {
         assert(bytes.size() == sizeof(T));
 
-        endian_integer result{0};
+        endian_integer result;  // calls private default ctor
         std::memcpy(result.m_bytes.data(), bytes.data(), sizeof(T));
         return result;
     }
 
   private:
+    endian_integer() = default;  // private default constructor
     std::array<std::byte, sizeof(T)> m_bytes;
 };
src/include/concurrency/thread_safe_queue.h (3)

29-30: LGTM: Move semantics appropriately deleted.

Deleting move operations is correct since absl::Mutex and std::atomic<bool> are not movable. Consider adding a brief comment explaining this constraint for future maintainers.

Optional: Add explanatory comment
+    // Move operations deleted because mutex and atomic members are not movable
     thread_safe_queue_t(thread_safe_queue_t &&other) noexcept = delete;
     auto operator=(thread_safe_queue_t &&other) noexcept -> thread_safe_queue_t & = delete;

107-126: Consider memory efficiency for large queues.

The reserve() method creates a full copy of the queue in reversed order (line 125), which requires O(n) time and space. For large queues, this could impact performance.

Consider these alternatives:

  1. Return a view or iterator pair instead of copying
  2. Process items in-place without materializing a copy
  3. Document the memory cost if the current design is intentional

Additionally, verify that the "reversed order" is the desired behavior for your use case.

Alternative: Return const reference with iterator guidance

If callers can process items using iterators, you could return a read-only reference:

// Return pair of iterators (oldest to newest)
std::optional<std::pair<typename queue_t::const_iterator, typename queue_t::const_iterator>>
reserve() noexcept ABSL_LOCKS_EXCLUDED(m_mutex);

However, this complicates lifetime management. The copy is safer but more expensive.


103-103: Reconsider logging level for pop_all().

The info level log on line 103 might be too verbose for production. Consider:

  • Using debug level (consistent with reserve() on line 114)
  • Adding contextual information (e.g., queue size before/after)
  • Removing it if not needed for diagnostics
Suggested change
-    spdlog::info("thread_safe_queue_t<TItem>::pop_all()");
+    spdlog::debug("thread_safe_queue_t<TItem>::pop_all() - size: {}", m_queue.size());
src/include/db/manifest/manifest.h (1)

160-160: Clarify the rationale for shared WAL ownership in the constructor.

The constructor change to accept wal::shared_ptr_t<manifest_t::record_t> indicates a shift to shared ownership semantics. Consider documenting:

  • Why shared ownership is necessary (e.g., multiple manifest instances reference the same WAL, WAL lifetime managed externally)
  • Whether this represents a change in ownership model from previous implementations, and any migration concerns

No obvious thread-safety issues were identified: the WAL implementation does not show intrinsic concurrency mechanisms, but the manifest class itself has no concurrent access patterns. If the manifest is intended to be accessed from multiple threads, ensure the WAL implementation or calling code provides appropriate synchronization.

src/config/config.cpp (4)

17-18: Consider consistent initialization syntax.

Line 17 uses braces {} while line 18 uses parentheses () for initialization. For consistency, consider using the same style throughout.

🔎 Proposed fix for consistency
 static constexpr const std::string_view SegmentsDirectoryName{"segments"};
-static constexpr const std::string_view ManifestCurrentFilename("current");
+static constexpr const std::string_view ManifestCurrentFilename{"current"};

176-176: Use consistent error formatting with fmt::format.

Line 176 uses string concatenation while other error messages in this file use fmt::format (e.g., lines 204, 219, 244). Consider using fmt::format for consistency.

🔎 Proposed fix
-            throw std::runtime_error("unable to create \"current\" " + current_path.string());
+            throw std::runtime_error(fmt::format("unable to create \"current\" {}", current_path.string()));

199-207: Add error handling for JSON parse failures.

Line 206 calls nlohmann::json::parse() without explicit error handling. While parse exceptions will propagate, they won't include context about which config file failed. Adding a try-catch block with contextual error information would improve debugging.

🔎 Proposed enhancement
 auto loadConfigJson(const std::string &configPath) -> nlohmann::json
 {
     std::fstream configStream(configPath, std::fstream::in);
     if (!configStream.is_open())
     {
         throw std::runtime_error(fmt::format("Unable to open config file: {}", configPath));
     }
-    return nlohmann::json::parse(configStream);
+    
+    try
+    {
+        return nlohmann::json::parse(configStream);
+    }
+    catch (const nlohmann::json::parse_error &e)
+    {
+        throw std::runtime_error(fmt::format("Failed to parse JSON from {}: {}", configPath, e.what()));
+    }
 }

179-182: Consider decoupling config from LSM tree structures.

The config module depends on structures::lsmtree::segments::helpers::uuid(), creating coupling between configuration and LSM tree internals. Consider moving the UUID generation to a common utilities module to maintain better separation of concerns.

The relevant code snippet shows a UUID function exists in src/common/helpers.cpp. Consider using that instead:

-        const auto new_filename{
-            DatabaseConfig.DatabasePath /
-            fmt::format("manifest_{}", structures::lsmtree::segments::helpers::uuid())
-        };
+        const auto new_filename{
+            DatabaseConfig.DatabasePath /
+            fmt::format("manifest_{}", common::helpers::uuid())
+        };

And update the include accordingly.

src/structures/memtable/memtable.cpp (1)

4-4: Unused include detected.

The spdlog header is included but there are no visible logging calls in this file.

🔎 Verify spdlog usage
#!/bin/bash
# Check if spdlog is actually used in this file
rg -n 'spdlog::|SPDLOG_' src/structures/memtable/memtable.cpp
src/include/serialization/buffer_reader.h (3)

6-6: Remove unused spdlog include.

The spdlog header is included but never used in this file. Removing it will reduce compilation dependencies and improve build times.

🔎 Proposed fix
 #include <span>
 #include <cstdint>
-#include <spdlog/spdlog.h>
 #include <string>

26-26: Consider standardizing error checking pattern.

The code mixes two patterns for checking error state:

  • Direct check: if (m_error) (lines 26, 43, 78)
  • Method call: if (has_error()) (lines 55, 91, 103)

Both are functionally equivalent, but using a consistent pattern improves readability. Consider standardizing on has_error() throughout, as it's more self-documenting.

🔎 Proposed fix
     template <EndianInteger T>
     [[nodiscard]] auto read_endian_integer(T &out) noexcept -> buffer_reader_t &
     {
-        if (m_error)
+        if (has_error())
         {
             return *this;
         }

Apply similar changes to lines 43 and 78.

Also applies to: 43-43, 55-55, 78-78, 91-91, 103-103


72-72: Consider renaming enum value for clarity.

The enum value invalid_variant_k is correctly named per the definition, but it's confusingly termed for this context. The method is read_varint (variable-length integer), so the enum should use invalid_varint_k to align terminology. "Variant" typically refers to type variants/discriminated unions, not variable-length integers. Rename the enum in src/include/serialization/common.h from invalid_variant_k to invalid_varint_k and update usages in src/include/serialization/buffer_reader.h and src/serialization/varint_test.cpp accordingly.

src/structures/lsmtree/levels/level.cpp (4)

118-122: Prefer integer arithmetic over std::pow for integer exponentiation.

Using std::pow for computing powers of 10 introduces floating-point arithmetic and potential precision issues. Since index() is an integer, consider using integer-based exponentiation.

🔎 Proposed refactor using integer arithmetic
-    const std::uint64_t threshold{
-        index() == 0 ? m_pConfig->LSMTreeConfig.LevelZeroCompactionThreshold
-                     : m_pConfig->LSMTreeConfig.LevelNonZeroCompactionThreshold *
-                           static_cast<std::uint64_t>(std::pow(10, index()))
-    };
+    auto compute_power_of_10 = [](std::uint64_t exp) -> std::uint64_t {
+        std::uint64_t result = 1;
+        for (std::uint64_t i = 0; i < exp; ++i) {
+            result *= 10;
+        }
+        return result;
+    };
+    const std::uint64_t threshold{
+        index() == 0 ? m_pConfig->LSMTreeConfig.LevelZeroCompactionThreshold
+                     : m_pConfig->LSMTreeConfig.LevelNonZeroCompactionThreshold *
+                           compute_power_of_10(index())
+    };

Alternatively, you could use a precomputed lookup table or the standard library's std::pow with explicit rounding, but integer arithmetic is clearest for this use case.


125-127: Remove or uncomment the dead code.

The commented-out log statement should either be removed entirely or uncommented if the information is valuable for debugging. Leaving commented code in the codebase reduces readability.


194-200: Optional: Remove redundant return type annotation.

The -> auto return type annotation on the lambda is redundant since lambdas automatically deduce their return type. You can simplify to:

[pSegment](const auto &currentSegment)

241-243: Acknowledge the TODO for configurability.

The hard-coded segment size of 1024 is noted in the TODO comment. Ensure this technical debt is tracked so the segment size becomes configurable as intended.

Do you want me to open a new issue to track making the segment size configurable?

src/structures/lsmtree/levels/levels.cpp (2)

80-101: LGTM with optional refactoring suggestion.

The scoped pattern for manifest updates improves debuggability by capturing the result before asserting. The consistent application across multiple call sites is good.

For future consideration, you could reduce boilerplate with a helper function:

template<typename Record>
void assert_manifest_add(db::manifest::shared_ptr_t& manifest, Record&& record) {
    auto ok = manifest->add(std::forward<Record>(record));
    ASSERT(ok);
}

Then usage becomes:

assert_manifest_add(m_pManifest, db::manifest::manifest_t::level_record_t{
    .op = level_operation_k::compact_level_k, .level = currentLevel->index()
});

Also applies to: 117-126, 190-195


185-185: Optional: Consider removing the redundant assertion.

The assertion ASSERT(m_levels[0]) verifies that level 0 exists, but the constructor always creates 7 levels (lines 28-32). This assertion is unlikely to fail unless there's a severe logic error elsewhere. Consider whether it adds value or just adds noise.

Add language specifications to fenced code blocks per markdown style guidelines.

All four code blocks lack explicit language identifiers, triggering linting warnings. While the content is clear, adding language hints improves rendering and follows markdown best practices.

🔎 Proposed fix: Add language identifiers
-```
+```text
 HEADER (24 bytes):
-```
+```c
 Header {
     u32 magic = 0xDEADBEEF;
-```
+```pseudocode
 Body {

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Weak RNG seeding reduces randomness quality.

Line 18 seeds the mt19937 with a single 32-bit value from std::random_device{}(), providing only 32 bits of entropy for the generator's 19937-bit internal state. This is a well-known pitfall that significantly reduces randomness quality.

By contrast, the uuid() implementation in src/common/helpers.cpp (lines 12-23) properly seeds the generator by filling an array of size mt19937::state_size with random values and using std::seed_seq. Consider adopting the same seeding strategy here for consistency and quality.

🔎 Proposed fix for proper seeding
 template <typename TNumber>
 auto generateRandomNumber(
     const TNumber min = std::numeric_limits<TNumber>::min(),
     const TNumber max = std::numeric_limits<TNumber>::max()

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

ASSERT after warn will crash on empty index.

The logic warns that the hash index is empty, then immediately asserts it must not be empty. If restore_index() legitimately results in an empty index (e.g., empty segment file), this will crash. Consider returning early or handling the empty case gracefully.

Proposed fix
     if (m_hashIndex.empty())
     {
         spdlog::warn("(restore_index): Hash index is empty for segment {}", m_path.c_str());
-        ASSERT(!m_hashIndex.empty());
+        // Early return - nothing to restore from an empty index
+        return;
     }
 }

Alternatively, if an empty index after restoration is truly a bug, change the warn to an error before the assert.

flow to handle the empty case gracefully by replacing the ASSERT with an early

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical: operator== is inconsistent with operator<.

The operator== now requires both m_key and m_sequenceNumber to match, while operator< uses both for ordering. This violates the strict weak ordering requirement for sorted containers:

Problem: For two records with the same key but different sequence numbers:

  • !(a < b) and !(b < a) would both be false (they differ by sequenceNumber)
  • But a == b would also be false

This violates the requirement that !(a < b) && !(b < a) implies a == b, which is essential for correct behavior of std::set, std::map, and other associative containers.

Impact: Undefined behavior in sorted containers, potential crashes, incorrect lookups, and data corruption.

🔎 Suggested fix

Choose one approach:

Option 1: Make equality consistent with ordering (recommended if you want multiple versions per key):

 auto memtable_t::record_t::operator==(const record_t &record) const -> bool
 {
-    return m_key == record.m_key && m_sequenceNumber == record.m_sequenceNumber;
+    return !((*this < record) || (record < *this));
 }

Option 2: Compare only keys in both operators (if sequence number is metadata):

 auto memtable_t::record_t::operator<(const memtable_t::record_t &record) const -> bool
 {
-    if (m_key != record.m_key)
-    {
-        return m_key < record.m_key;
-    }
-    return m_sequenceNumber < record.m_sequenceNumber;
