Summary

Implements the benchmark tooling from the revised archive-scale performance research plan (plans/dolos-archive-scale-performance-research.md in the planning repository).

  • Extend storage benchmarks with logs-only scaling, archive/state-local index queries, and compressed valid-block reads and reverse scans.
  • Add deterministic query fixtures and testing-only work counters, with bounded archive population batches.
  • Add minibf route/load benchmarks, live replay with persistent stores/WAL, alternating paired-version runs, and manifest-driven HTTP calibration against real nodes.
  • Validate response identities and full response hashes; record provenance, latency, throughput, failures, work and resources. Reject incompatible, incomplete, failed or undersampled evidence instead of producing a passing regression verdict.
  • Document fixtures, commands, provisional budgets, operating costs and fidelity limits in xtask/perf/README.md.

Performance experiment organization

  • cargo xtask perf storage {run,node,train,evaluate} runs storage and corpus workloads.
  • cargo xtask perf minibf {run,compare,http,check} runs actual minibf endpoint workloads and their regression gates.
  • cargo xtask perf report renders either or mixed result records.
  • Rust modules mirror the subjects under xtask::perf::{storage,minibf}. Measurement, provenance, dictionary identity, the load driver and reporting are shared at xtask::perf; fixtures and store instrumentation remain in dolos-testing.
  • Rust microbenchmarks remain under cargo bench; xtask integration tests are named perf_cli, storage_perf_smoke, and minibf_perf.
  • Existing archive-bench storage invocations remain compatible. Current guides live under xtask/perf/ (overview, storage, minibf, HTTP); historical result paths are preserved.

Validation

  • cargo +nightly-2026-08-27 fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --offline — passes; seven pre-existing warnings in unchanged cardano/snapshot code, none in the added code.
  • cargo build --workspace --all-targets --all-features --offline
  • cargo test --workspace --all-targets --offline — 1,482 passed, 48 ignored.
  • cargo test --workspace --all-features --exclude dolos-minibf --exclude dolos-minikupo --exclude dolos-trp --offline — 1,020 passed, 53 ignored.
  • Paired same-binary smoke: 12 records across two workloads and three repeats per arm, zero failed/timed-out/rejected requests. Report correctly yields INSUFFICIENT and the gate exits nonzero for undersampling.

The full validation suite was rerun after the storage/minibf split and the perf rename. Two new CLI tests verify subject separation, legacy storage compatibility, paired child invocation through the new command tree, shared reporting and rejection of undersampled evidence.

Documentation cleanup: replaced two overlapping guides with four concise task-oriented pages; checked 12 local links/anchors, 11 CLI examples, shell syntax, and the existing artifact privacy test. Runtime code and historical evidence are unchanged.

Scope and limitations

This adds regression tooling, not a mainnet performance verdict or production optimizations. Synthetic fixtures do not establish mainnet capacity. Real-node calibration is supported but was not run against mainnet. No redb archive comparison is restored, and no timing-sensitive CI gate is added.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added unified performance tooling for storage, minibf, and HTTP calibration experiments.
    • Added workload measurement, comparison, reporting, and performance-gate evaluation.
    • Added storage codec, corpus, dictionary-training, and load-testing capabilities.
    • Added archive fixtures supporting batched population, logs-only scenarios, and persistent WAL testing.
  • Documentation

    • Added guides for performance experiments, storage evaluation, minibf testing, and HTTP calibration.
  • Changes

    • Renamed the primary benchmark command to cargo xtask perf; legacy benchmark aliases remain available.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d7830

This benchmark-only change improves performance measurement coverage, but Store encoder CPU results can be misleading when parallel workers are used. Remaining load-driver and error-reporting concerns should be resolved before relying on the harness for regression decisions.

379-397: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Enforce --timeout-ms on each request instead of only classifying it.

drive_requests passes timeout to collect, which labels a finished request as a timeout when its latency exceeds the budget. Nothing cancels the request. A stalled route future keeps its concurrency slot, and the drain loop at line 286 awaits it without a bound, so the harness hangs instead of reporting a timeout.

Wrap the request future in tokio::time::timeout so the recorded timeout count and the harness runtime both respect the budget. The HTTP path already gets this from the reqwest client timeout in http.rs line 179.

♻️ Proposed fix to bound each request
     let measured = drive_requests(
         move || {
             let router = router.clone();
             let case = case.clone();
             let expected = expected_response.clone();
+            let budget = Duration::from_millis(timeout_ms);
             async move {
-                let (bytes, actual) = cases::response(router, &case).await?;
+                let (bytes, actual) = tokio::time::timeout(budget, cases::response(router, &case))
+                    .await
+                    .context("request exceeded --timeout-ms")??;
                 anyhow::ensure!(
                     actual == expected,
                     "response changed after fixture validation"
                 );
                 Ok(bytes)
             }
         },

Capture let timeout_ms = args.timeout_ms; before the closure.

Preserve the workload error before propagating termination errors.

When wait_for_port observes an exited child, try_wait reaps it. terminate then calls wait4 for that child and receives ECHILD. The ? at line 1307 exits before served?, so it hides the server-start or workload error. Defer propagation of the termination result:

Exclude the frame copy from the measured encode CPU.

frames.push(frame.to_vec()) runs inside the region bounded by thread_cpu_ns at Line 106 and Line 114. The copy size differs per codec: raw copies the whole body, and a zstd codec copies only the compressed frame. encode_cpu_s and encode_mb_per_cpu_s therefore charge the raw baseline more copy cost than a compressing candidate, which biases the reported encode rate. Collect the frames outside the timed region, or subtract the copy from the accumulated CPU.

Propagate F_NOCACHE failures from Reader::ensure_open.

Reader::ensure_open ignores the fallible fcntl(F_NOCACHE, 1) result, then run_reads records params.regime.label() as nocache even when the descriptor remains cache-enabled. Return io::Result<()> from set_nocache and propagate the error before inserting the file, so the workload produces no misleading record.

Preserve the served error before propagating the terminate error.

If wait_for_port observes an exited child, Child::try_wait reaps it and returns the startup error. On Unix, terminate then calls wait4 for the reaped child, which can return ECHILD. The current order hides the useful served error.

Defer the termination result until after served?:

112-114: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Exclude the frame copy from the measured encode CPU.

frames.push(frame.to_vec()) runs inside the region bounded by thread_cpu_ns at Line 106 and Line 114. The copy size differs per codec: raw copies the whole body, and a zstd codec copies only the compressed frame. encode_cpu_s and encode_mb_per_cpu_s therefore charge the raw baseline more copy cost than a compressing candidate, which biases the reported encode rate. Collect the frames outside the timed region, or subtract the copy from the accumulated CPU.

Reviewed all CodeRabbit findings available through reviews 5158183087 / 5158185412. Fixes are in 07402de.

Fixed

  • Require HTTPS before reading or sending project-ID credentials.
  • Bootstrap the persistent WAL at the imported tip; verify live replay and rollback to that anchor.
  • Preserve server-start/workload errors even when cleanup also fails.
  • Reuse the sink's segment listing instead of rediscovering files.
  • Propagate macOS F_NOCACHE errors before retaining a descriptor.
  • Return an error for out-of-range scan latency rather than panic. I did not clamp: clipping would misrepresent the measurement.
  • Exclude frame copying and per-era bookkeeping from encode CPU timing.

Already addressed / not applied

  • The stale minibf-check reference was removed in the documentation cleanup; current instructions use perf minibf check.
  • The suggested per-request timeout wrapper is not safe for this in-process harness: dropping the async future does not stop blocking storage work, so it releases concurrency slots prematurely and still cannot guarantee process shutdown. Kept drain-and-classify semantics and explicitly documented the external-process watchdog requirement for stuck operations.
  • Did not bulk-generate docstrings to meet the bot's percentage threshold; that would add substantial unrelated noise across moved code.

Validation
Formatting, Clippy, full build, default workspace tests (1,460 passed), and all-features tests with the repository's service exclusions (998 passed) pass. Clippy has only the seven pre-existing cardano/snapshot warnings. Added regression coverage for WAL anchoring/rollback, cleartext credential rejection, cleanup-error precedence, sink file lists, cache-setting failures and oversized scan durations.

442-446: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Measure all Store encoder CPU or omit this metric.

thread_cpu_ns() measures only the calling thread. FlatFileStore::append_batch can use multiple encoder workers. Line 446 therefore omits worker CPU while the custom parallel path sums each worker CPU. This makes Store encode_cpu_ms and encode_mb_per_cpu_s incomparable with the other codecs.

Use aggregate encoder CPU instrumentation from dolos_flatfiles, or do not emit Store encode CPU metrics.
