Compact offsets sidecar for Logstore payload storages by generall · Pull Request #10717 · qdrant/qdrant

generall · 2026-09-21T16:28:56Z

What

In on-disk and serverless deployments every payload lookup through the Logstore costs two reads: one random read of the 16-byte tracker entry, then the value itself. For a segment that is done being written to, it is cheaper to load all mappings once on open than to pay that first read per query.

This adds an optional sidecar, log_offsets.dat, next to the append-only tracker file:

Format (lib/blobstore/src/tracker/compact_offsets.rs): values in the append-only pages are packed back to back, so each mapping becomes a position in the concatenation of all pages. The N + 1 non-decreasing positions are stored with the existing bitpacking_ordered delta encoding (randomly accessible without decompressing), plus a small list of page start positions and a presence bitmask that is omitted when there are no gaps. Around 2 bytes per point instead of 16.
Safety: building verifies that every mapping decodes back to exactly the pointer it came from and refuses to write the sidecar otherwise, so readers never rely on the packing invariant. A missing, invalid, or over-long sidecar is ignored with a warning, never an error.
Tracker integration: AppendOnlyTracker loads the sidecar in both open paths and serves get, get_range and the batched iter from RAM below the covered count. The tracker file stays the source of truth: it is still appended to, and mappings above the covered prefix are read from it as before. A fresh tracker removes a stale sidecar. populate skips the tracker file when the sidecar covers everything.
Wiring: write_compact_offsets on Logstore, Blobstore, PayloadStorageImpl and PayloadStorageEnum. SegmentBuilder::build calls it right after flushing the payload storage.
Feature flag compact_logstore_offsets: off by default, on under all, implied by serverless_compatible. Only gates writing.

Notes

The sidecar is written with atomic_save, a whole-object write like the config file, not an append.
Only the payload storage is wired into the builder. Sparse vector storage and append-only field indexes also sit on Logstore and could call Blobstore::write_compact_offsets the same way; left for a follow-up.
docs/redoc/master/openapi.json was updated by hand for the new flag field.

Tests

Unit tests for the format: gaps, page rollover, rejected layouts, corrupt bytes, write/load/remove.
Tracker tests: prefix coverage with pending and later-appended mappings, both open modes, stale sidecar removal, invalid sidecar ignored.
Storage tests: multi-page roundtrip through Blobstore and BlobstoreReader, size comparison against the tracker file, clear removes the sidecar.
End-to-end test in lib/segment/tests/append_only_storages.rs: a segment built under serverless_compatible has the sidecar and reads payloads back before and after reload.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add an optional `log_offsets.dat` sidecar next to the append-only tracker file. It holds the mappings of a prefix of the tracker as bitpacked, delta-encoded positions plus a presence bitmask, and is loaded into RAM with a single sequential read on open. Lookups below the covered count are served from RAM; the tracker file stays the source of truth and is still appended to and read for everything above. The segment builder writes the sidecar for the payload storage of every segment it builds when the new `compact_logstore_offsets` feature flag is on. The flag is implied by `serverless_compatible`. Storages with and without the sidecar are readable regardless of the flag. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a compressed log_offsets.dat sidecar for append-only tracker mappings. The tracker can build, validate, persist, load, and remove the sidecar, and it serves covered lookups from RAM. Logstore, Blobstore, and payload storage APIs expose sidecar writing. Segment builds write the sidecar after flushing when compact_logstore_offsets is enabled. The flag defaults to false and is enabled by all and serverless_compatible. Tests cover encoding, reopening, fallback reads, cleanup, and segment builds.

Replace the implicit conversions with explicit constructors.

Use the parameter type's SomeType::from(id) constructor at each call site. This keeps the target type visible and avoids inference-dependent conversions.

As per coding guidelines, “Prefer explicit SomeType::from(x) over implicit x.into() in Rust.” As per path instructions, .github/review-rules.md repeats this rule.

compare it with a maximum size derived from persisted_count before calling
read_whole. If the file exceeds that bound, ignore the sidecar and continue with
the existing fallback behavior; retain read_whole only for bounded files.
- Around line 291-297: Add checksum validation for the serialized positions
sidecar in from_bytes, rejecting mismatches before constructing the tracker and
preventing unverified ValuePointer lookups. Persist and verify the checksum
using the existing serialization format, and increment FORMAT_VERSION so older
data is not accepted under the new integrity contract.

Add integrity validation for the serialized positions. A changed position bit can preserve the payload length and all parameter checks while decoding to a different non-decreasing position sequence. Covered lookups then return the decoded ValuePointer and skip the tracker file. Add a checksum for the sidecar payload, reject checksum mismatches in from_bytes, and increment FORMAT_VERSION.

Bound the sidecar read before read_whole. CompactOffsets::load reads the complete sidecar before checking compact.count > persisted_count. With IoUringFile, read_whole reaches read_bytes, which allocates a buffer for the requested range. A large invalid or oversized log_offsets.dat can therefore consume excessive memory during storage open. Check the file length against a maximum derived from persisted_count before read_whole, and ignore the sidecar when it exceeds that limit.
