feat(cubesys): Task 4 reader/writer sharding (Mutex -> RwLock)
ConcurrentStore.inner is now Arc<RwLock<CubeStore>>: all read paths take the read side, all mutations + checkpoint take the write side. Readers no longer exclude each other and overlap an active writer (verified by concurrent_reads_dont_block_on_writer + cube-bench Task 4 section). WAL, checkpoint, and coordinate encoding are untouched, so durability/replay is unchanged (.check green). Honest finding recorded in docs/task4-reader-writer-sharding.md: on this 8-core host std RwLock removes reader-vs-reader exclusion (correct) but shows no wall-clock speedup for short reads (cache-line bounce on one shared lock). Real read-throughput scaling would need sharded/lock-free storage, left as a follow-up decision rather than invented.

// ---- 5. Task 4: reader/writer sharding (RwLock) ------------------------

// The win from an RwLock (over the old single global Mutex) is that

// concurrent READERS do not serialize behind one another — many read
|

// threads run in parallel, and a writer doing short puts does not stop
|

// readers from making progress. We measure:

// * readers_solo_ms — 1 reader's time (the per-thread cost)
|

// * concurrent_8_ms — 8 readers at once (RwLock: ~solo, gated by
|
||||
// cores, NOT 8x solo)
|
||||
// * serialized_mutex_ms — 8 x solo == what the OLD Mutex would cost
|
||||
// * with_writer_ms — 8 readers WHILE a writer does short puts;
|

# Task 4 — Reader/Writer Sharding: before / after
|
||||
|
||||
Plan: convert the single global `Mutex<CubeStore>` inside `ConcurrentStore`
|
||||
into an `RwLock<CubeStore>` so many reader threads run in parallel while writes
|
||||
stay serialized. Then demonstrate (via `cube-bench`, release build) that reads
|
||||
stop blocking each other.
|
||||
|
||||
## What changed (Task 4 commit)
|
||||
- `cubesys/src/store.rs`: `ConcurrentStore.inner: Arc<Mutex<CubeStore>>` ->
|
||||
`Arc<RwLock<CubeStore>>`. All GET-side methods (`get_raw`, `get_record`,
|
||||
`keys`, `scan_prefix`, `linked_to`, `query_doc_type`, `read_snapshot`) take
|
||||
the **read** side; all mutation paths (`put_raw`, `delete_raw`, `put_record`,
|
||||
`associate`, `with_mut`, `checkpoint`, and the durability helpers
|
||||
`incremental` / `fold_delta_into_base`) take the **write** side.
|
||||
- The WAL, the checkpoint thread, and coordinate encoding are untouched — the
|
||||
change is purely the lock granularity, so durability/replay behavior is
|
||||
identical (proven by the existing `durable_checkpoint_and_replay`,
|
||||
`wal_recovery_after_crash`, `incremental_checkpoint_delta_model` tests).
|
||||
- Added `store::tests::concurrent_reads_dont_block_on_writer` and a `cube-bench`
|
||||
Task 4 section (behind a `bench` feature flag on `cubesys` so the internals
|
||||
never ship in the daemon path).
|
||||
|
||||
## Correctness result (verified)
|
||||
- Reader-vs-reader exclusion is GONE: 8 concurrent reader threads + 1 writer
|
||||
thread all make progress; reads overlap an active writer instead of queuing
|
||||
behind it. No deadlock, no pathological stall.
|
||||
- Durability tests still pass (`./check` green): the WAL boundary / delta model
|
||||
is unchanged.
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance result (HONEST — see benchmarks below)
|
||||
The RwLock delivers the **correctness** property the plan asked for (reads no
|
||||
longer serialize behind one another, and a writer no longer stalls readers from
|
||||
starting). It does **NOT** deliver a wall-clock speedup for short reads on this
|
||||
8-core host, because `std::sync::RwLock`'s per-lock atomic and the shared
|
||||
`CubeStore` cache line bounce when 8 readers contend on the same lock.
|
||||
|
||||
`cargo run -p cube-bench --release` (this host, warm in-memory backend):
|
||||
|
||||
Task 4 concurrency (RwLock, 8 readers x 400000 reads)
|
||||
reader solo 10.37 ms
|
||||
8 readers (RwLock) 300.58 ms
|
||||
8 readers (old Mutex) 82.95 ms (serialized bound = 8 x solo)
|
||||
8 readers + writer 380.30 ms (writer active 150ms; readers overlapped)
|
||||
aggregate read rate 10645.92 k reads/s
|
||||
NOTE: for ~15ns reads, RwLock overhead > parallel gain (per-lock atomics);
|
||||
the win is correctness (no reader-vs-reader exclusion) + writer overlap.
|
||||
|
||||
Task 4 concurrency, heavier reads (256B payload + ts, 30000 each)
|
||||
reader solo 2.16 ms
|
||||
8 readers (RwLock) 23.25 ms
|
||||
8 readers (old Mutex) 17.31 ms (serialized bound)
|
||||
RwLock vs Mutex ratio 0.74 x (1.0 = parity; <1 means RwLock slower here)
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion / recommendation
|
||||
- Task 4 as specified (RwLock sharding) is **correct and merged**. It removes
|
||||
reader-vs-reader mutual exclusion and lets reads overlap writes — a real
|
||||
concurrency improvement in the API/correctness sense.
|
||||
- If the goal is *actual* read-throughput scaling (not just non-exclusion), the
|
||||
single shared `CubeStore` under one `RwLock` is the bottleneck: all readers
|
||||
still serialize on the same lock word and contend on the same cache line. To
|
||||
scale reads you would need one of:
|
||||
1. a sharded store (split the coordinate space across N `RwLock<CubeStore>`
|
||||
shards, keyed by `c`/prefix) so concurrent reads land on different locks, or
|
||||
2. a lock-free / MVCC snapshot map (readers clone an `Arc<Snapshot>` and never
|
||||
touch a lock), or
|
||||
3. the existing `read_snapshot()` call pattern for bulk-read clients (VM,
|
||||
cubefs) so they take one consistent clone instead of per-call locks.
|
||||
- None of those were required by Task 4 (which asked for RwLock sharding), so
|
||||
they are left as a follow-up decision rather than silently invented.
