fix(scripting): route a script to the shard owning its keys instead of refusing it (#508) - #516
Conversation
…f refusing it (#508) Filed as "EVALSHA of a single-key script fails with CROSSSLOT", with the guess that a 1-element key list was being mis-folded. It is not that. `validate_keys_same_shard` required every key to hash to the shard the CONNECTION happened to occupy. One key cannot cross slots — it just lives somewhere else — so `CROSSSLOT` was standing in for "I cannot run this HERE", and nothing ever asked where it COULD run. Measured at --shards 4, 8 distinct keys on fresh connections: 7/8 CROSSSLOT 1/8 ran (the key that happened to land on the connection's own shard) numkeys=0 always ran, which is why the defect reads as intermittent That breaks redis.lock.Lock.release() — a single-key EVALSHA, and one of the most-used constructs in redis-py. Through the Script.__call__ wrapper the caller sees a NoScriptError and then a cross-slot error, neither of which names the cause. Fix: a script now routes to the shard owning its keys. scripting::route_script_keys -> Local | Remote(shard) | CrossShard coordinator::coordinate_script -> ShardMessage::Execute to that shard spsc_handler -> EVAL/EVALSHA arm on the Execute path A script executes against ONE shard's database, so the correct place to run it is where that data already is. `cmd_dispatch` has no scripting arm (scripts are intercepted at the connection layer), which is why the shard side needs its own. Keys that GENUINELY span shards are still refused — there is no single target for them — and that refusal is now held twice over: the routing decision rejects it before the hop, and validate_keys_same_shard stays as the shard-side backstop, so both must agree before a script could read another shard's (empty) view of a key. Proved by mutation: removing either layer alone keeps skr5 green; removing BOTH turns it red. Lua VMs stay lazy and per-shard, and the runtime shares the same slot conn_accept fills, so a shard first reached by ROUTING (no connection of its own ever landed there) still ends up with exactly one VM. VM creation failure returns an error frame rather than panicking — this now runs on the shard thread, where a panic aborts the process. Both handlers call one shared helper (`shared::route_script_elsewhere`) rather than carrying two routing policies that can drift. Tests: tests/script_key_routing.rs, 5 cases at --shards 4 looping 12 key placements each (a single trial passes by luck ~25% of the time). Covers single-key EVAL, single-key EVALSHA (the reported shape), a script WRITE read back through the normal path (so routing cannot be faked by answering reads from the wrong shard), keyless scripts, and the surviving cross-shard refusal. Green on both runtimes; lib 4646/4646; clippy and fmt clean. The redis-py acceptance pin (rp14b) is converted from an inverted "known gap" probe to a direct assertion, and rp14 is restored to a full acquire+release lock test — the half that was removed while this was open. 19/19 green against the fix binary. One thing this CHANGES rather than fixes, stated plainly: EVAL caches its script only on the shard that ran it, and EVAL (unlike SCRIPT LOAD) never fans out. So a bare EVAL followed by a direct EVALSHA on a key belonging to another shard now answers NOSCRIPT where it previously answered CROSSSLOT. Measured AFTER this fix, --shards 4: one bare EVAL, then EVALSHA of that sha across 12 other keys -> 4 ok, 8 NOSCRIPT. (The pre-fix leg of that comparison was not measured: before routing, the initial EVAL itself was rejected for ~75% of keys, so the scenario did not arise in the same form.) Neither ever worked; NOSCRIPT is the strictly better failure because every client library retries it (redis-py's Script.__call__ re-EVALs and self-heals) whereas CROSSSLOT was unrecoverable. Anything built on register_script/SCRIPT LOAD — including redis.lock.Lock — is unaffected: 12/12. Filed as #515 with a fix sketch; it needs its own review for the per-EVAL sha1 cost and the shutdown-token plumbing. FCALL has the SAME defect plus a second, independent one: FUNCTION LOAD never fans out to other shards (measured 5/8 CROSSSLOT, 3/8 "Function not found", 0/8 succeeded). Routing FCALL without the fan-out would only trade one error for the other at the same rate, so it is filed as #514 rather than half-fixed here. The reply framer added for #507 moved to tests/common so both suites share one implementation. Closes #508 Refs #507, #514, #515 author: Tin Dang

Add persistence and COW handling for routed scripts.
This branch returns before the generic cow_intercept and write-persistence path. Routed script writes therefore skip snapshot COW capture. Under runtime-tokio, LuaEvictionCtx::emit_effect is also a no-op, so successful redis.call('SET', ...) emits no AOF or replication record. Route scripts through the common write hooks or add equivalent handling before returning.

Thanks — all four verified against the source. Three fixed here, one filed separately with the reasoning below. 1.

…never ran Review of #516 found four issues; three are fixed here and one is filed. 1. coordinator: a reply TIMEOUT was reported as a closed channel. `recv_reply_bounded` returns the same `Err(RecvError)` for two outcomes with opposite retry semantics — the target dropped the sender, and the reply did not arrive within the 30s `XSHARD_REPLY_TIMEOUT`. `coordinate_script` collapsed both into "cross-shard reply channel closed during script execution", which asserts the script never executed. A timeout means the target may still be running it, or may have already applied its writes, so a client told the script never ran will re-send a non-idempotent script that did. This contradicted the PR's own claim that its failure handling was explicit rather than collapsed. `ReplyFailure::{Closed, TimedOut}` now distinguishes them, and the race is split into `recv_reply_within(rx, timeout)` so `recv_reply_bounded` can delegate — every existing call site is unchanged and the race logic is not duplicated. Both arms now report execution status as UNKNOWN: `Closed` too, because a target can drop the sender AFTER applying writes (a panic between apply and reply), so it means "no reply", not "no effect". The timeout records `moon_xshard_reply_timeout_total{kind="script"}`, matching the handler reply paths — without it a wedged owner shard was invisible in metrics. 2. skr5 asserted a probabilistic outcome. `accepted > 0` depended on `{x<i>}`/`{y<i>}` coincidentally co-locating; at 4 shards `P(none of 24 co-locate) = (3/4)^24`, about 1 in 1000. The failure text blamed the fix ("just the old bug with extra steps"), so an unlucky run across four CI platforms would have read as a real regression. Replaced with a `{same}one`/`{same}two` pair — co-located by construction — asserting it both runs and is not CROSSSLOT. The distinct-tag loop still requires `rejected > 0`, plus `rejected + accepted == 24` so every pair stays classified. 3. the shared RESP framer mis-counted RESP3 attribute frames. `|N` fell into the single-line arm and was counted as a top-level reply, so its key/value payload and the reply it decorates were left in the spill buffer and every later frame was read one position out of step. Attributes are now handled before the count, adding N*2 to `pending`. Not reachable today (these suites never send HELLO 3), but the helper documents RESP2+RESP3 and is now shared by two suites. Each of the three is mutation-verified: removing the attribute arm frames `|1\r\n$3\r\nttl\r\n:99\r\n+OK\r\n` at byte 4 instead of 23; collapsing `TimedOut` into `Closed` fails the timeout test; forcing every multi-key script to CrossShard fails the new same-tag leg. 4. NOT fixed here — filed as #517. Script writes skip `cow_intercept` on every path, and under `runtime-tokio` `emit_effect` is compiled out, so they emit no AOF or replication record. Both are real, and both are pre-existing rather than introduced by #516: the routed path is structurally identical to the local path this PR did not touch, and before #516 a script whose keys lived elsewhere was refused outright, so there was no correct behaviour to regress. A persistence change needs replication parity, kill-9 durability and a VM A/B bench, which a routing PR would not subject it to. Verified: fmt clean; clippy clean on default and tokio+jemalloc; tokio full suite 4626 passed / 0 failed. Two monoio full-suite runs hit only known flakes and nothing in the changed code: run 1 `bpv1` (a 30s server-startup timeout, 5/5 in isolation), run 2 `cb12`+`cb15` at cluster_client_bootstrap.rs:213 and :172 — the two panic sites of #505, which a merge-base A/B this session showed failing MORE on base (4/8) than on this branch (3/8).

Closes #508.
The issue's hypothesis was wrong, and the defect is bigger than "EVALSHA"
Filed as "EVALSHA of a single-key script fails with
CROSSSLOT", guessing a1-element key list was being mis-folded. It is not that.
scripting::validate_keys_same_shardrequired every key to hash to the shardthe connection happened to occupy. One key cannot cross slots — it just
lives somewhere else — so
CROSSSLOTwas standing in for "I cannot run thisHERE", and nothing ever asked where it could run.
Measured at
--shards 4, 8 distinct keys on fresh connections, plainEVAL(not just EVALSHA):
CROSSSLOTnumkeys=0This breaks
redis.lock.Lock.release(), a single-keyEVALSHAand one of themost-used constructs in
redis-py. ThroughScript.__call__the caller sees aNoScriptErrorand then a cross-slot error, neither of which names the cause.Fix: route the script to the shard that owns its keys
A script executes against one shard's database, so the correct place to run
it is where that data already is.
cmd_dispatchhas no scripting arm (scriptsare intercepted at the connection layer), which is why the shard side needed
one of its own.
Both handlers call a single shared helper (
shared::route_script_elsewhere)rather than carrying two routing policies that can drift.
Failure handling is explicit rather than collapsed:
PushOutcome::Backpressureand
Cancelledboth mean the script was never executed, so each returns adistinct clean reject instead of an ambiguous "maybe it ran".
The guard survives, and is now held twice
Keys that genuinely span shards are still refused — there is no single target
for them. That refusal is now redundant on purpose: the routing decision rejects
it before the hop, and
validate_keys_same_shardremains as the shard-sidebackstop, so routing and execution must agree before a script could read another
shard's (empty) view of a key.
Proved by mutation: removing either layer alone leaves
skr5green;removing both turns it red. So the redundancy is real and the test is not
vacuous.
Lua VMs
Shards build their VM lazily and share the one slot
conn_acceptfills, so ashard first reached by routing (no connection ever landed on it) still ends up
with exactly one VM. Creation failure returns an error frame instead of
panicking — this now runs on the shard thread, where a panic aborts the process.
One thing this changes rather than fixes
EVALcaches its script only on the shard that ran it and, unlikeSCRIPT LOAD, never fans out. So a bareEVALfollowed by a directEVALSHAon a keyowned by another shard now answers
NOSCRIPTwhere it previously answeredCROSSSLOT. Measured after the fix at--shards 4— one bareEVAL, thenEVALSHAof that sha across 12 other keys:Neither ever worked, and
NOSCRIPTis strictly the better failure: every clientlibrary retries it (
redis-py'sScript.__call__re-issuesEVALandself-heals) whereas
CROSSSLOTwas unrecoverable. Anything built onregister_script/SCRIPT LOAD— includingredis.lock.Lock— is unaffected.Filed as #515 with a fix sketch; it needs its own review for the per-
EVALsha1 cost and the
shutdown-token plumbing.FCALL is filed, not half-fixed
FCALLhas the same routing defect plus an independent one:FUNCTION LOADnever fans out to other shards. Measured at
--shards 4: 5/8CROSSSLOT, 3/8ERR Function not found, 0/8 succeeded. Routing FCALL without the fan-outwould only trade one error for the other at the same rate, so the fan-out is a
prerequisite. Filed as #514.
