ADR-049: one job filter, and tags as the indexed handle - #571
Proposes ADR-049. It amends ADR-030 so that one JobFilter drives listing, counting, batch preview, batch execution and the DLQ, and makes tags the indexed way to find "jobs about X". The implementation will follow in a separate PR.
Why
Measured on 50,000 completed jobs on queue storage, each with two tags:
Listing is slow even without tags.list_jobs by kind took 7.7 s to over 120 s.
Tag lookups time out. Any list_jobs call with a tag took over 120 s.
Two causes:
The listing query degrades as a prepared statement. It binds every field as ($n IS NULL OR …), and once Postgres switches to a generic plan it can't drop those terms.
Every row costs seven queries. The query is a loop of single-job loads.
With an index on tags, a rare-tag lookup takes 49 ms. A 100-row page still takes about 4.5 s until rows load in one batch, so the ADR batches the loads too.
Decision
JobFilter:
ADR-030's JSON shape, extended with all-of tags, any-of states and dead_lettered;
strict deserialization;
new fields are refused in batch operations while any live runtime is older than this ADR.
One compiler per engine:
it writes only the predicates a filter sets, and reads only the storage branches its states can reach;
SQL narrows the candidates, and a batched loader settles each job's current state;
the count is capped at 10,000, and reads run under a timeout.
Tags are indexed by a partial GIN index over non-empty payload tags on each queue-storage partition, with fastupdate = off:
untagged jobs pay nothing;
Postgres maintains the index for producers on any version;
pruning empties it.
Completed jobs are found through their ready row, because their done row stores a NULL payload.
No migration. New schemas install the indexes. Existing schemas get them from awa storage build-tag-index, which the migrator runs online. It indexes each ring partition right after pruning empties it, or uses --now with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and its documented costs.
Old names stay working.list_jobs/ListJobsFilter and list_dlq/ListDlqFilter remain, deprecated, through 0.8.
Deriving tags from args is deferred. The ADR records the pros and cons, the limits of tags, and a rule against putting secrets or personal data in them.
Review
Two adversarial reviews, one on storage and Postgres and one on API and compatibility, shaped this version. The main changes they forced:
Index predicate.insert_job_compat writes "tags": [] on untagged jobs, so the predicate is <> '[]' rather than ?.
Finding completed jobs. Their done rows usually store a NULL payload.
No parent index in a migration. It would hold a SHARE lock until commit, which blocks every insert.
Resume repairs invalid indexes with REINDEX, instead of skipping them.
"Exact" SQL became "SQL narrows, the loader decides", because the lane cursor sits outside MVCC.
Old filter shapes keep working, so stored batch filters can't widen on an older runner.
Separate finding
Ring pruning never releases job_unique_claims. A local reproduction confirms that a pruned completed unique job blocks its duplicates indefinitely. I'll raise that separately.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Added a proposed architecture decision describing a shared job filter for listing, counting, batch operations, and dead-letter queue workflows.
Documented proposed indexed tag lookups, online index building, rollout constraints, validation plans, and compatibility considerations across supported interfaces.
Updated the ADR index and related decision status to reference the proposal. Existing synchronous bulk retry, bulk cancel, and dead-letter queue bulk endpoints remain synchronous; changes to their filters are described as proposed.
One JobFilter describes which jobs for listing, counting, batch preview,
batch execution and the DLQ, compiled once per engine with only the
predicates a filter sets. Tags become the indexed handle for jobs about
something: a partial GIN index over non-empty payload tags on each
queue-storage partition, maintained by Postgres for every binary and
built online by the migrator. Amends ADR-030.
This PR adds ADR-049, which proposes a shared JobFilter for listing, counting, batch operations, and DLQ workflows, plus indexed queue-storage tag lookups. It also updates ADR-030 and the ADR index.

Summary
Filter contract and query design docs/adr/049-job-filter-and-indexed-tags.md, docs/adr/030-batch-operations.md
ADR-049 specifies JobFilter behavior and shared query compilation across job workflows. ADR-030 clarifies the proposed DLQ filter change and states that selected-ID bulk retry and cancel remain unchanged.
Tag lookup and index lifecycle docs/adr/049-job-filter-and-indexed-tags.md
The ADR proposes tag lookup paths and partial GIN indexes. It describes index creation for empty partitions and resumable builds for populated partitions.
Surfaces, rollout, and validation docs/adr/049-job-filter-and-indexed-tags.md, docs/adr/README.md
The ADR documents proposed interface changes, rollout constraints, validation plans, alternatives, and consequences. The ADR index lists ADR-049.
hardbyte/awa#562 concerns property tests for batch preview counts, pagination, and resumption. ADR-049 defines shared filtering and batch preview/execution populations, but does not add those tests.

A rabbit reads the filter’s plan, Tags hop through indexes, span to span. The batch rows line up in view, The DLQ filter joins them too. ADR leaves the path in ink, Then bounds the search before we blink.
Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.
The ADR is consistent: “the migrator” refers to awa storage build-tag-index, while awa migrate only prints a reminder. Clarify the status to prevent readers from interpreting “the migrator” as awa migrate.

- Line 5: Clarify the release scope in the ADR-030 status and align it with
ADR-049: state whether the `JobFilter` and predicate changes to `purge_dlq` and
`bulk_retry_from_dlq` ship in 0.6 or a later release. If they ship in 0.6,
remove “stay as-is” and name the endpoints; if later, state that timing in both
ADRs. Keep the deferral of migrating the endpoints to the async framework
distinct.
Review comments at @docs/adr/049-job-filter-and-indexed-tags.md:
- Line 128: Update the filter-tag constraints in the ADR to specify that
submitted filters may contain at most 20 tags, matching the per-job insert
limit; state that longer lists are rejected rather than truncated so all-of
matching semantics are preserved.

…e change
Migration and schema preparation index empty partitions on the spot,
extended batch filters wait for 0.7.0-alpha.2 runtimes, and
BatchOperationFilter's state and tag become the lists states and tags.
… plans
Several tags or states travel as a list under ADR-030's tag and state
keys, which a 0.6 reader refuses rather than ignoring, and the DLQ bulk
bodies nest the filter so a 0.6 server sees none and refuses. A filter
may require at most 20 tags. The status line names what migrate and
build-tag-index each index. DLQ bulk actions need a field that narrows
the DLQ. Branch joins are lateral probes, measured against the plans
that timed out at 20,000 jobs.
