Collect and delete keys that are less than or equal to the requested index.

Removing key/values pairs in a bucket during iteration on the bucket using cursor may not work properly. Each time when removing a key/value pair, the cursor may automatically move to the next position if present. When users call c.Next() after removing a key, it may skip one key/value pair. Refer to etcd-io/bbolt#611 for more detailed info.

Summary of Changes

Hello @otoolep, 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 addresses a critical bug in the FIFO queue's key deletion mechanism. Previously, deleting keys directly during a cursor iteration could cause the cursor to advance unexpectedly, leading to some keys being inadvertently skipped. The changes introduce a robust two-step process: first, all keys targeted for deletion are identified and collected, and then, these collected keys are individually removed. This ensures that all intended keys are reliably deleted without interference from cursor movements.

Highlights

  • Corrected Key Deletion Logic: Implemented a two-phase approach for deleting keys in the FIFO queue, first collecting all keys to be deleted and then performing the deletions. This resolves an issue where direct deletion during cursor iteration could lead to keys being skipped.
  • Cursor Iteration Safety: Ensured safe key deletion by copying key slices (k) before storing them, as the original slices are only valid within the transaction, preventing potential data corruption or unexpected behavior.

Code Review

This pull request correctly addresses a bug in bbolt where deleting items while iterating with a cursor can lead to skipping elements. The implemented solution of collecting keys before deletion is the proper fix. My review includes a suggestion to optimize the memory usage of this new logic, which can be particularly beneficial when deleting a large number of keys.
