Overview

The CRTC's kv-maint thread sweeps stale leaves once 1,024 nodes have died. The sweep walks the whole tree, but the threshold ignores the tree's size. In a 2,048-worker index the threshold is met on every 50 ms tick, so the thread walks the tree back to back and finds almost nothing the event lanes haven't already unlinked. A sweep is now also due only once deaths reach an eighth of the nodes the last sweep visited. That keeps the walk near eight node visits per death; small, high-churn trees still sweep every tick.

	base	this PR
Selection replay, agentx, 4,600 req/s: kv-maint kcycles per request	512	22 (−96%)
Selection replay: index event apply, admission p99, peak RSS		unchanged
mooncake_bench write capacity	87.40 M ops/s	−0.4% [−1.7, +1.6]

Tyche Grace node. Selection replay: selection_replay_bench (#17959), agentx corpus, 2 runs per arm at 4,600 req/s and 3 at saturation. mooncake_bench: 6 paired rounds, glibc, 95% bootstrap CIs.

The saturated row is the one cost: when the index is already millions of events behind, dead leaves stay attached a little longer between sweeps, and the lanes spend about 2% more cycles per event. Booked req/s at saturation is unchanged.

Key Changes

• sweep_if_due waits for the larger of 1,024 and (nodes visited by the last sweep / 8) deaths. The 30 s backstop is unchanged.
• sweep_stale_children also returns how many nodes it visited, including the root and anchors. Each sweep logs that and how many leaves it unlinked, at debug level.
• README and one test. No change to locking, shape gates, versioning, split or remove.

Validation

• cargo test -p dynamo-kv-router --lib concurrent_radix_tree_compressed
• cargo clippy -p dynamo-kv-router --all-targets -- -D warnings

Issues and Ongoing Work

• Follows fix(kv-router): reclaim CRTC dead leaves as they die #16313.

Pull Request Checklist

• I used Dynamo's /pr-checklist skill.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Performance
  • Background cleanup now scales its trigger threshold to the size of the previous sweep, while retaining the 30-second maximum interval and 50 ms checks.
  • The cleanup walk is bounded to at most eight node visits per death.
• Tests
  • Added coverage verifying cleanup waits for a number of removals proportional to the tree it last walked.

Walkthrough

The stale-leaf sweep now counts examined child nodes and returns that count with the unlink count. Scheduling uses the previous sweep’s visit count to scale the death threshold. The maximum-interval trigger remains, and a test covers the scaled threshold.

Changes

Stale-Leaf Sweep Scheduling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sweep result counts lib/kv-router/src/indexer/concurrent_radix_tree_compressed/remove.rs	The sweep returns the number of unlinked nodes and the number of child nodes examined. The test-only wrapper continues to return only the unlink count.
Adaptive scheduling and validation lib/kv-router/src/indexer/concurrent_radix_tree_compressed/mod.rs, lib/kv-router/src/indexer/concurrent_radix_tree_compressed/README.md, lib/kv-router/src/indexer/concurrent_radix_tree_compressed/tests.rs	The scheduler triggers when deaths reach the larger of the configured threshold and one-eighth of the previous sweep’s visited nodes, or when the maximum interval elapses. The documentation describes this rule, and a test checks the death threshold after a sweep.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 40f19

Anchor-heavy trees may sweep more often than intended, and the documented performance bound is inaccurate. Both corrections are bounded and should be made before or shortly after merge.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description gives a clear overview of the change: the sweep trigger now scales with tree size, and the threshold is the larger of 1,024 or one-eighth of the nodes the last sweep visited. It includes a benchmark table, a Key Changes list, and the validation commands. It follows the template headings (Overview, Key Changes, Validation, Issues and Ongoing Work) and includes the checklist. The Issues section says 'Follows #16313' but does not use the 'Closes #XXXX' form. The template marks that link as advisory, so this does not block the check. Two details are missing or unclear: the benchmark references (#17959) are cited without context, and the Validation section lists commands but no results. These gaps are minor, so the description is mostly complete.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

@lib/kv-router/src/indexer/concurrent_radix_tree_compressed/README.md:
- Around line 207-208: Update the README’s sweep description and the related
threshold documentation to describe the visit ratio as a target based on the
previous sweep, not a guarantee. Note that tree growth and the 30-second
backstop can exceed that target, and remove claims of a hard maximum per death.

Review comments at
@lib/kv-router/src/indexer/concurrent_radix_tree_compressed/remove.rs:
- Line 36: Update the visit accounting in sweep_stale_children to include the
root and anchor roots already seeded in the queue; initialize visited from the
queue length before processing it, while preserving increments for child
entries.
