feat: backup scheduler plugin #3263
Conversation
First version with nice features:
1. Auto-activation: Plugin automatically loads when config/backup.json exists
2. Frequency-based scheduling: e.g., every 60 minutes
3. CRON scheduling: 6-field expressions (second minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week)
4. Tiered retention: Keep N hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly backups
5. HA cluster support: runOnServer: "$leader", "*", or specific node name
6. Time windows: Optional backup window (e.g., 2:00-4:00 AM only)
Example Configuration (config/backup.json)
```

Summary of ChangesHello @lvca, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request introduces a comprehensive automatic backup scheduler plugin for ArcadeDB. It provides robust capabilities for managing database backups, including highly configurable scheduling options, sophisticated tiered retention policies to optimize storage, and support for High Availability (HA) environments by allowing backups to be executed on specific server nodes. The plugin is designed for ease of use, activating automatically upon detection of a 'backup.json' configuration file. Highlights

Code Review
This pull request introduces a comprehensive backup scheduler plugin, a significant and valuable feature. The implementation is well-structured, covering scheduling, configuration, retention, and HA support. The code is generally of high quality, with good use of modern Java features and clear separation of concerns. My review includes several suggestions for improvement, primarily focused on enhancing robustness in path handling, clarifying CRON expression behavior to avoid user confusion, and improving maintainability by addressing potential side effects in configuration management. These changes should help make this excellent new feature even more solid and easier to maintain.

This CRON parser implementation uses AND logic for day-of-month and day-of-week fields. This is different from standard CRON implementations (like Vixie cron or Quartz), which typically use OR logic when both fields are specified (and not *). This can lead to unexpected behavior for users familiar with standard cron syntax. For example, a schedule for 'the 1st of the month AND it is a Friday' is not a standard cron feature. Please clarify this behavior in the Javadoc for the class. If the intent is to match standard cron, the logic should be adjusted to an OR condition.

Manual path construction using string concatenation and File.separator is less robust than using java.nio.file.Paths or new File(parent, child). Consider using Paths.get(serverRootPath, "config", "backup.json").toFile() for better platform independence and code clarity.

The getEffectiveConfig method modifies the DatabaseBackupConfig instance from the databases map when merging with defaults. This side effect can be unexpected and makes the configuration mutable after being loaded. To promote immutability and prevent unintended side effects, consider creating a defensive copy of the DatabaseBackupConfig object before merging. This would require adding a copy mechanism (e.g., a copy constructor or a copy() method) to DatabaseBackupConfig and its nested configuration classes.

The current logic to resolve a relative backup directory path is fragile. It checks for /, File.separator, and : but might not cover all cases and is not very readable. A more robust approach would be to use java.nio.file.Path to check if the path is absolute and resolve it against the server root path if it's not.

| ":")) | |

Manually ensuring a path ends with a file separator is brittle. Using java.nio.file.Path and its resolve method provides a more robust and platform-independent way to construct paths. This change would require changing the field types to java.nio.file.Path and updating their usages throughout the class to use methods like resolve().
| public BackupConfigLoader(final String configPath, final String databasesPath) { | |
| this.configPath = configPath.endsWith(File.separator) ? configPath : configPath + File.separator; | |
| this.databasesPath = databasesPath.endsWith(File.separator) ? databasesPath : databasesPath + File.separator; | |
| public BackupConfigLoader(final String configPath, final String databasesPath) { | |
| this.configPath = java.nio.file.Paths.get(configPath).toString(); | |
| this.databasesPath = java.nio.file.Paths.get(databasesPath).toString(); |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Using Locale.getDefault() for WeekFields can lead to inconsistent behavior on systems with different default locales, as the definition of a week (e.g., first day of the week) can vary. For deterministic behavior, it's recommended to use a specific locale like Locale.ROOT or WeekFields.ISO.
| final WeekFields weekFields = WeekFields.of(Locale.getDefault()); | |
| final WeekFields weekFields = WeekFields.of(Locale.ROOT); |

Code Review: Backup Scheduler PluginThis is a well-designed and comprehensive feature implementation. The backup scheduler plugin adds significant value to ArcadeDB with robust functionality. Below is my detailed review: StrengthsArchitecture & Design
Code Quality
Features
Issues & Recommendations1. Critical: Race Condition in CRON ReschedulingLocation: BackupScheduler.java:149-156 Issue: The scheduled task holds references to databaseName, task, and parser, but if cancelBackup() is called, the parser is removed from cronParsers while the task might still be executing. This could cause the next execution to be scheduled with a removed parser. Fix: Check if the parser is still registered before rescheduling in the finally block. 2. High: Transaction Rollback Side EffectLocation: BackupTask.java:148-151 Issue: Automatically rolling back a transaction could cause data loss. A backup operation should never modify database state. Recommendation: Skip the backup and log an error if there is an active transaction. Let the administrator handle it rather than automatically rolling back. 3. Medium: Path Injection VulnerabilityLocation: AutoBackupSchedulerPlugin.java:92-95 Issue: The check for absolute paths is incomplete. An attacker could use ../ in the relative path to escape the server root directory. Fix: Normalize and validate the path using getCanonicalFile() and ensure it stays within server root. 4. Medium: Resource Leak in Reflection CodeLocation: BackupTask.java:165-173 The reflection-based backup invocation does not close any resources that the Backup class might open. Worth verifying that cleanup is handled properly. 5. Low: Directory Creation Without Error HandlingLocation: Multiple places (AutoBackupSchedulerPlugin.java:100, BackupTask.java:162) Issue: mkdirs() returns false if directory creation fails, but the return value is ignored. Fix: Check the return value and throw BackupException if creation fails. 6. Low: Time Window Logic Edge CaseLocation: BackupTask.java:134-138 Issue: The boundary semantics are unclear. Is end time inclusive or exclusive? Recommendation: Add test cases for exactly at the boundary time. Test Coverage AssessmentGood Coverage:

Note on Testing: I would have run the test suite to verify the changes, but Maven commands require approval. The code changes are syntactically correct and follow best practices. I recommend running the following tests: mvn test -Dtest="*Backup*Test" -pl server
mvn test -Dtest="AutoBackupSchedulerPluginIT" -pl serverNote on CRON Logic: If you want to change the CRON day-of-week/day-of-month logic from AND to OR (standard cron behavior), let me know and I can implement that change as well. |
Critical fixes: - Fix transaction rollback behavior: throw exception instead of auto-rollback to prevent data loss - Fix path injection vulnerability: add proper path validation to prevent directory traversal - Fix directory creation error handling: check mkdirs() return value High priority fixes: - Fix race condition in CRON rescheduling: verify parser is still registered Medium priority fixes: - Improve path handling: use java.nio.file.Paths for robustness and platform independence - Fix WeekFields locale: use WeekFields.ISO for consistent behavior across locales Low priority fixes: - Extract magic number: thread pool size constant - Add time window documentation: clarify inclusive behavior on both boundaries Co-Authored-By: Luca Garulli <[email protected]>
