perf(queue-storage): drain a queue in bulk chunks - #598
admin::drain_queue on queue storage, behind awa queue drain and the Python drain_queue, had two costs:
It listed the queue's jobs through the current_jobs view, whose available arm reads every retained ready row and evaluates the lane's claim cursor once per row, so the lookup grows with completed history rather than with the backlog.
It then cancelled each job through cancel_job_tx, several statements per job, all inside one transaction. A scheduled job costs about seven round trips: the ready probe, the running-attempt checks, the delete from deferred_jobs, the ring read, the lane check and the done_entries insert.
On a deployment where each round trip crosses the network, draining 4,000 jobs took 13.7 s. A backlog of 100,000 or more would take many minutes while one transaction held every cancelled row's lock.
The drain also matched only the logical queue name (queue = $1), so on a striped queue it found none of the queue#N rows and cancelled nothing.
Change
QueueStorage::drain_queues cancels the backlog in chunks of 1,000 jobs, each chunk in its own transaction:
Scheduled and retryable jobs: one DELETE ... FROM deferred_jobs of up to 1,000 rows (FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED). The terminal rows have the same shape as a single deferred cancel (shard 0, negative lane_seq) and are written in one insert_done_rows_tx call per prior state.
Available jobs: one statement that finds the unclaimed rows the way a claim does, from each lane's claim cursor through ready_segments, then along the ready key within each ring slot. It locks and tombstones up to 1,000 of them. Only rows whose tombstone this statement inserted are cancelled, so a concurrent cancel of the same row cannot produce a second terminal row.
Claim cursor: after commit, each run of consecutive cancelled positions on a lane gets one cursor advance, which applies only while the cursor sits at the start of the run.
Waiting jobs: still cancelled one by one through cancel_jobs_by_ids. Running jobs are left alone, as before.
The deferred pass runs first, so jobs promoted while it runs are caught by the ready pass. admin::drain_queue now expands the queue to its persisted stripes before draining.
A drain is no longer one transaction. If it fails part-way, the chunks already committed stay cancelled. Running the drain again finishes the job.
Tests
New tests in awa/tests/queue_storage_runtime_test.rs:
test_queue_storage_drain_queue_cancels_a_backlog_larger_than_one_chunk builds a queue with 3,000 completed jobs, 3 retryable, 1 running, 2,500 available, 2,500 scheduled and 3 unique jobs, plus a second queue. After a drain, the queue has exactly 5,006 cancelled rows and the running job is untouched. The dispatcher's cursor-derived available count is 0, the unique keys are free to re-enqueue, a fresh job is the next claim, and the other queue is untouched.
test_queue_storage_drain_queue_covers_every_stripe drains a two-stripe queue. It fails on main (0 drained) and passes with this change.
On a local database, draining 4,000 available and 4,000 scheduled jobs over 20,000 completed ones took 4.9 s before this change and 0.7 s after. The new cost per chunk is a handful of statements, so the difference grows with network latency.
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -D warnings, awa-model --lib, queue_storage_runtime_test (203), integration_test, external_wait_test and validation_test all pass locally.
A backport to release/0.6.6 for 0.6.12 follows.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Queue draining now covers all stripes of a striped queue and cancels pending available, scheduled, retryable, and waiting jobs. Running jobs, claimed work, and jobs in other queues remain unchanged.
Large queues are drained in batches. Jobs enqueued after a drain begins are left for a later drain.
Draining skips locked ready jobs without stopping and advances past cancelled rows so they do not block later claims.
Changes to available jobs now account for in-progress claims, helping prevent claimed work from being treated as available.
The queue drain command and Python drain_queue use the same draining behavior.

Include deferred-only stripes in drain discovery
When a striped queue contains scheduled jobs in a stripe that has never held an available job, that stripe has rows in deferred_jobs but no queue_lanes entry because the deferred enqueue path does not call ensure_lane. persisted_physical_queues discovers stripes only from queue_lanes, so this call omits the stripe and drain_queue returns while its scheduled jobs remain eligible to run later. The striped test masks this case by enqueuing available jobs into every stripe first; discovery also needs to account for physical queues present only in deferred_jobs.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 15de413. Stripe discovery read only queue_lanes, so a stripe holding only scheduled jobs was missed. Every pass now matches the queue and its queue#N stripes by name, so no discovery step is needed. test_queue_storage_drain_queue_covers_stripes_holding_only_scheduled_jobs puts scheduled jobs on four stripes with no lanes. It drained 0 of 40 before this change and drains all 40 now.

Keep draining after a short locked ready batch
With workers active and a backlog larger than one chunk, cancel_available_chunk_tx can return fewer than 1,000 rows even though more available jobs remain: its candidates CTE applies LIMIT 1000 before target uses FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, so one locked candidate makes the result short while unlocked rows beyond that limited candidate set are never considered. Treating that short result as exhaustion breaks the loop, causing a live queue drain to leave an arbitrary remainder of the available backlog.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 15de413. The available pass now locks rows inside the per-segment scan and applies LIMIT after that, so a locked row no longer shortens the chunk. A short chunk now means no unlocked candidates remain. test_queue_storage_drain_queue_skips_a_locked_row_without_stopping holds a lock on the first ready row of a 2,500-job backlog. The drain stopped at 999 before this change and now cancels 2,499.

- Line 10650: Update the candidate selection in cancel_available_chunk_tx to
exclude jobs whose claims are still running, using claim-state evidence that
reliably distinguishes active attempts from rescued or abandoned claims. Do not
rely on ready_claim_attempt_batches alone unless its semantics establish that

Bound the drain to the work that exists when it starts.
drain_queue loops until a chunk returns fewer than 1,000 rows. Each available chunk reads the current enqueue head, so jobs enqueued during the drain are also cancelled. On an unpaused queue with sustained enqueues, the call may never return. The previous ID lookup cancelled only the jobs selected at call start. Capture an enqueue boundary before the loops and limit both passes to it.

Fixed in 15de413. The drain now reads the next job id once at the start and cancels only deferred and waiting jobs below it. It reads each lane's enqueue head once after the deferred pass and cancels available rows only below those heads. Work enqueued during the drain is left for a later call, so the drain returns even when the queue keeps receiving jobs.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
@hardbyte The fixed bounds address the non-termination risk. One part of the original finding remains in the supplied code.
drain_queue captures each lane’s to_seqafter the deferred pass. cancel_available_chunk_tx does not apply job_id_bound. An available job enqueued during the deferred pass can therefore fall below the captured lane head and be cancelled by this call.
Please also apply ready.job_id < job_id_bound to available-row selection. Keep the lane-head bounds to limit the scan. A regression test should enqueue an available job during the deferred pass and verify that the job survives the drain.

Backport of #598. admin::drain_queue on queue storage listed the
queue's jobs through the current-jobs view, which reads every retained
ready row, then cancelled them one by one inside a single transaction.
Scheduled, retryable and available jobs are now cancelled 1,000 at a
time, one transaction per chunk, and a striped queue drains every
persisted stripe.
Backport of the follow-up on #598. The drain reads every lane's enqueue
head once and job ids below the next id at the start, so work enqueued
while it runs is left for a later call. Each chunk locks rows before
applying its limit and the next chunk resumes after the last cancelled row.
Stripes are matched by name in every pass, which covers stripes holding only
scheduled jobs.
Cancel, move and reprioritise skip ready rows a claim has recorded but the
claim cursor has not yet passed, so they no longer cancel or re-enqueue a
job that is already running.
…rsor past it (0.6)
A noisy-neighbour benchmark (a 200/s workload on one queue while another is
drained, including a drain of a queue with live workers and a producer)
found three problems in the bulk drain:
- A claim records its attempt in the transaction that holds its lane's
claim head, so a chunk read while that claim was in flight saw the row as
available and cancelled a job a worker then ran. Each chunk now locks the
claim heads of its lanes first, and cancel_job / move / cancel_jobs_by_ids
lock the heads of the jobs' lanes, in the byte order cursor advances use.
- The drain advanced a lane's cursor only if it still sat at the start of
the cancelled run. With workers claiming, it rarely did, and claims then
crossed the tombstoned range one claim batch per poll: about 64k jobs
enqueued during a 100k drain were still unclaimed three minutes later.
After each chunk the drain now moves the cursor over tombstoned rows and
committed claims, under the claim-head lock.
- Chunk statements were JIT-compiled (about 3 s each against milliseconds of
execution), and the tombstone NOT EXISTS was planned as an anti join that
re-read the lane's tombstones for every segment. Drain transactions turn
JIT off, and the tombstone check is kept a per-row probe.
At 100k available plus 100k scheduled the drain now takes 11 s quiet and
11 s with live workers (previously 340 s and 321 s), with no running job
cancelled, no job left stranded and the neighbouring queue's latency at
baseline.

Recheck waiting state before cancelling jobs in the drain.
The waiting pass selects waiting_external IDs, then cancels them in a later transaction without a lock or a state recheck. A callback can resume one of these jobs in between, which sets it to running. cancel_job_tx then cancels that running attempt, although the drain documents that it leaves running jobs alone. Restrict the waiting cancel to rows still waiting_external, checked under a row lock in the cancel transaction.

admin::drain_queue on queue storage listed the queue's jobs through the
current-jobs view, which reads every retained ready row, then cancelled
them one by one inside a single transaction, several statements per job.
Scheduled, retryable and available jobs are now cancelled 1,000 at a
time, one transaction per chunk: a bulk delete from deferred_jobs, and a
bulk tombstone of the unclaimed ready rows found from each lane's claim
cursor, with one claim-cursor advance per run of consecutive positions.
Waiting jobs still go through cancel_jobs_by_ids.
The drain also matched only the logical queue name, so a striped queue
drained nothing; it now drains every persisted stripe.
The drain reads every lane's enqueue head once and job ids below the next
id at the start, so work enqueued while it runs is left for a later call.
Each chunk locks rows before applying its limit, so a row another
transaction holds no longer ends the drain early, and the next chunk resumes
after the last cancelled row instead of rescanning from the claim cursor.
Stripes are matched by name in every pass, which covers stripes holding only
scheduled jobs.
Cancel, move and reprioritise skip ready rows a claim has recorded but the
claim cursor has not yet passed, so they no longer cancel or re-enqueue a

- The drain advanced a lane's cursor only if it still sat at the start of
the cancelled run. With workers claiming, it rarely did, and claims then
crossed the tombstoned range one claim batch per poll: about 64k jobs
enqueued during a 100k drain were still unclaimed three minutes later.
After each chunk the drain now moves the cursor over tombstoned rows and
committed claims, under the claim-head lock.
- Chunk statements were JIT-compiled (about 3 s each against milliseconds of
execution), and the tombstone NOT EXISTS was planned as an anti join that
re-read the lane's tombstones for every segment. Drain transactions turn
JIT off, and the tombstone check is kept a per-row probe.
At 100k available plus 100k scheduled the drain now takes 11 s quiet and
11 s with live workers (previously 340 s and 321 s), with no running job
cancelled, no job left stranded and the neighbouring queue's latency at
baseline.

Problem
admin::drain_queueon queue storage, behindawa queue drainand the Pythondrain_queue, had two costs:current_jobsview, whose available arm reads every retained ready row and evaluates the lane's claim cursor once per row, so the lookup grows with completed history rather than with the backlog.cancel_job_tx, several statements per job, all inside one transaction. A scheduled job costs about seven round trips: the ready probe, the running-attempt checks, the delete fromdeferred_jobs, the ring read, the lane check and thedone_entriesinsert.On a deployment where each round trip crosses the network, draining 4,000 jobs took 13.7 s. A backlog of 100,000 or more would take many minutes while one transaction held every cancelled row's lock.
The drain also matched only the logical queue name (
queue = $1), so on a striped queue it found none of thequeue#Nrows and cancelled nothing.Change
QueueStorage::drain_queuescancels the backlog in chunks of 1,000 jobs, each chunk in its own transaction:DELETE ... FROM deferred_jobsof up to 1,000 rows (FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED). The terminal rows have the same shape as a single deferred cancel (shard 0, negativelane_seq) and are written in oneinsert_done_rows_txcall per prior state.ready_segments, then along the ready key within each ring slot. It locks and tombstones up to 1,000 of them. Only rows whose tombstone this statement inserted are cancelled, so a concurrent cancel of the same row cannot produce a second terminal row.cancel_jobs_by_ids. Running jobs are left alone, as before.The deferred pass runs first, so jobs promoted while it runs are caught by the ready pass.
admin::drain_queuenow expands the queue to its persisted stripes before draining.A drain is no longer one transaction. If it fails part-way, the chunks already committed stay cancelled. Running the drain again finishes the job.
Tests
New tests in
awa/tests/queue_storage_runtime_test.rs:test_queue_storage_drain_queue_cancels_a_backlog_larger_than_one_chunkbuilds a queue with 3,000 completed jobs, 3 retryable, 1 running, 2,500 available, 2,500 scheduled and 3 unique jobs, plus a second queue. After a drain, the queue has exactly 5,006 cancelled rows and the running job is untouched. The dispatcher's cursor-derived available count is 0, the unique keys are free to re-enqueue, a fresh job is the next claim, and the other queue is untouched.test_queue_storage_drain_queue_covers_every_stripedrains a two-stripe queue. It fails onmain(0 drained) and passes with this change.On a local database, draining 4,000 available and 4,000 scheduled jobs over 20,000 completed ones took 4.9 s before this change and 0.7 s after. The new cost per chunk is a handful of statements, so the difference grows with network latency.
