Scope, stated plainly: Every execution change on this branch parallelizes work inside a single transaction's apply, within one iteration of the serial processApplyCh loop. The per-predicate pipeline (from #9467) and your entire optimization series (proportional budgets, parallel reverse/forward writes, conflict-key batching, map sizing) all fan out inside one mutation's pre-write and join before the loop moves on. The loop itself stays serial across entries; no two transactions ever execute concurrently anywhere on this branch. Today's two additions don't change that — txns_per_delta is observability (it measures cross-transaction batching but executes nothing differently), and the help-text deletion removed the description of a cross-transaction feature that never existed.
What
The complete per-predicate mutation pipeline, now targeting main: the pipeline implementation revived from #9467, its correctness-fix series, and a measured intra-mutation parallelism series on top (+36.8% sustained ingest on a 32-core EC2 box, +17.6% on a production-replica predicate mix; re-validated 2026-08-08 after the main merge at +39.8% — 1.40× — over current main, table below).
The legacy apply path processes all edges of a Raft proposal serially. The pipeline groups a mutation's edges by predicate and applies them in parallel — one runner per predicate, with this PR adding a proportional worker budget across predicates, per-CPU (auto) sizing, and a parallel forward data-write in ProcessList so [uid] @reverse predicates parallelize too (their forward write was serial and measured 1.00× before that change).
Why the base changed
This PR previously targeted harshil-goel/mutation-pipeline (#9467), but to help keep this branch and PR up to date with main, it's repointed to main. This also helps make benchmarking the two PRs easier.
What's included
The pipeline series (from #9467, authorship preserved):
The per-predicate mutation pipeline, gated behind a feature flag
Correctness fixes found while reviving it (all were in the original branch, none in main): key-buffer reuse silently corrupting unrelated reverse posting lists; InsertTokenizerIndexes deadlock on UIDs ≥ 2⁶³; IterateDisk.IsEmpty stubbed to false (broke has() after star-deletes); HNSW vector-insert races (now serialized); star-delete skipping index deletion during background indexing; scalar Del-of-old-value wiping a new Set in ProcessCount; nil-deref in ProcessSingle on multi-Del-per-uid; six further gaps surfaced by alpha integration tests
Regression harnesses: four [uid] @reverse @count tests, a 592-genre reverse-count systest
The intra-mutation parallelism series (this branch, each commit benchmarked on i4i.16xlarge):
The pipeline becomes the default apply path.intra-mutation-min-edges defaults to 1, so every mutation ≥1 edge routes through the pipeline. The single kill switch is intra-mutation-min-edges=0, which restores the legacy serial path entirely.
The flag surface was renamed from [WIP] perf(core): Add a new mutation pipeline for per predicate runners #9467's mutations-pipeline-threshold to intra-mutation-*. The names say what they scope: this parallelizes a single mutation. Transactions still apply serially in processApplyCh, so these flags will not relieve a many-concurrent-writers bottleneck.
How to configure
All keys live under the existing --feature-flags superflag. Every key is live at every setting:
Key
Default
Meaning
intra-mutation-min-edges
1
Takes the parallel apply path when >0andlen(edges) >= it. 0 = legacy path entirely, and is the single kill switch.
intra-mutation-parallelism
auto
Worker goroutines inside one mutation. off = one per predicate, no fan-out. N = exactly N. Fx = F per CPU available to Go (e.g. 1.5x). auto = 1x.
intra-mutation-edges-per-worker
256
Caps the pool at totalEdges / this so small mutations don't over-spawn. Applies to every sizing mode.
# Sized to the host (the default):
dgraph alpha ... --feature-flags "intra-mutation-parallelism=auto"# Fixed 64-worker pool:
dgraph alpha ... --feature-flags "intra-mutation-parallelism=64"# No intra-predicate fan-out, but still the per-predicate pipeline:
dgraph alpha ... --feature-flags "intra-mutation-parallelism=off"# Legacy path entirely:
dgraph alpha ... --feature-flags "intra-mutation-min-edges=0"
Note which term binds: at the default edges-per-worker=256, a 20k-edge mutation caps at 78 workers however many cores exist — above ~78 CPUs the cap governs, not the multiplier. Lowering intra-mutation-edges-per-worker is what lifts that ceiling. The V(2) log line reports which term won (boundBy=).
Correctness verification
intra-mutation-parallelism=off is byte-identical to the one-goroutine-per-predicate path; byte-identical committed output and identical conflict-key set verified under -race for scalar, [uid] @reverse, and per-CPU-vs-fixed sizing.
A schema/index-type matrix verifies byte-identical committed state across 12 schema shapes.
ProcessReverse stays serial deliberately (many-to-one, hot-target-prone — parallelizing it measured as a net loss); all workers join before the reverse/index/count passes, preserving MVCC order.
Integration suite: 39 packages, zero failures (beyond flakes that also fail on the base).
Merged with current main (2026-08-08): zero conflicts; full build and the posting/, worker/, x/ unit suites pass on the merged tree.
Three-arm benchmark against current main (2026-08-08)
Re-validated after the merge with main, on an i4i.8xlarge (32 vCPU, NVMe instance store): reverse-heavy corpus (25 [uid] @reverse predicates, 20k triples per transaction), 64 writer threads, 300 s sustained commitNow ingest, fresh store per run, three interleaved rounds, every arm at its shipping defaults. Metric: badger_write_bytes_user delta over elapsed.
Zero failed batches and zero aborts in every run; control spread across rounds was under 0.3%. This branch over the #9467 tip directly: +33.5% MB/s — noting #9467's tip still sits on its May 2026 base, so that direct delta includes 40 commits of newer main; the control arm anchors both to today's main.
Known open item
On an @lang-heavy workload the pipeline path emits fewer conflict keys than the legacy path (divergence measured at ~600 keys on a synthetic corpus). This is pre-existing pipeline behavior, not introduced by this series, and is documented as the highest-priority follow-up since the risk direction (lost update under SI) matters once the pipeline is the default. Flagging it here rather than leaving it for reviewers to find.

At-scale benchmark: does the improvement survive LSM compaction? (2026-08-09)
The empty-store numbers above leave one fair question: does the gain hold once Badger has a deep LSM tree and compaction competes with ingest? Measured directly:
Test scale: a 34 GB seeded store (≈1 billion distinct triples ingested via a bulk pass, plus the measured corpus resident so every benchmark write overwrites live keys), i4i.8xlarge (32 vCPU, NVMe), 64 writer threads, commitNow ingest. Every run restores the identical seed snapshot; runs are interleaved; compaction is continuously active during measurement (120–203 slow compactions per 30-minute window, levels 4→5 and 5→6). Verdict rendered against pre-registered acceptance criteria (8/9 pass; full protocol, per-run data and formal verdict archived).

Stability under compaction, beyond the headline:
No decay over 30 sustained minutes: the branch's advantage was +35.9% in the first 10 minutes and +35.1% in the last 10 — compaction debt does not erode it.
Faster and smoother: rate variability CV 0.20 vs main's 0.44. Both arms show a periodic ingest dip anti-correlated with compaction bursts (an intrinsic Badger ingest/compaction rhythm, present on stock main); this branch dampens it — 97% vs 155% peak-to-trough, dips half as frequent.
No pathology from the higher write rate: zero L0 stalls, zero aborts, zero failed batches in every run on both arms; the ~+69% extra compaction work the higher throughput generates is fully absorbed (disk never exceeded 49% utilization).
Cross-checked on badger v4.9.6: both arms rebuilt against the newer badger (with the Allow filtering inside of lists for regexp tokenizers #2330 compaction base-level fix) reproduce the margin (+35.3%), ruling out the result being an artifact of a known v4.9.4 compaction regression.
One follow-up this testing surfaced (will fix in this PR): the parallel apply path does not record num_edges_total, so operators on the pipeline path lose the nquads/sec metric — the recording sites currently live only on the legacy path.
Added configurable intra-mutation parallelism with automatic, fixed-worker, and disabled modes, plus controls for when parallel processing starts and how workers are allocated.
Added metrics for mutation parallelism and transactions per committed delta.
Bug Fixes
Improved handling of schema subscription postings and delete-all mutations.
Preserved posting-list state more reliably across updates and commits.

Explanation
The title names the main change: a per-predicate mutation pipeline with intra-mutation parallel apply. The raw summary confirms this, since posting/index.go adds MutationPipeline, which groups edges by predicate and processes predicates concurrently. The title also follows the conventional-commit style. It is concise and specific, and it is not vague. It does not mention the many supporting changes, such as the feature flags, the metrics, and the tests, but that is expected.

The default IntraMutationMinEdges: 1 routes mutations to MutationPipeline.Process. Its normal list and scalar paths write forward data with AddDelta or AddDeltaConcurrent, so they bypass the x.NumEdges recording in legacy List.AddMutationWithIndex. Successful pipeline mutations can therefore undercount num_edges_total.
Record the batch count only after the pipeline succeeds. Keep the change in the pipeline branch. A shared post-apply record would double-count legacy mutations.

Process leaves PredicatePipeline.errCh nil. If the schema is dropped between the Tokenizer call and FactoryCreateSpec, a worker receives Schema state not found and blocks on the nil-channel send before wg.Done runs. InsertTokenizerIndexes then waits forever, so ProcessPredicate cannot return and the serial processApplyCh mutation path remains blocked.

Propagate tokenization errors instead of panicking.
ValidateAndConvert returns early when the storage and schema types match. A malformed same-typed value can therefore reach indexTokens, where types.Convert returns an error. x.Panic calls panic directly, so this can terminate Alpha instead of failing the mutation. Return the worker error through InsertTokenizerIndexes; its callers already propagate that error through ProcessPredicate and errgroup.
Do not use pipeline.errCh for this. Process leaves that channel nil.

official golangci-lint v2.13.1 default enabled linters unused unexported methods
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In golangci-lint v2.13.1, the unused linter is included in the default enabled linters set [1]. The unused linter is designed to check Go code for unused constants, variables, functions, and types [1]. By default, the unused linter reports unused unexported methods because they are internal to the package and can be safely analyzed for usage [2][3]. Because the unused linter operates at the package level, it typically does not report unused exported identifiers by default (as these may be consumed by external packages) unless specifically configured to do so [2][3]. Key points regarding the unused linter behavior: - Default Status: It is enabled by default in golangci-lint [1]. - Unexported Methods: Unused unexported methods are reported by default [2]. - Exported Identifiers: By default, the linter treats exported identifiers as "used" to avoid false positives [2][3]. This behavior is controlled by settings such as exported-is-used (default: true) [3]. - Configuration: You can view or adjust the unused linter settings in your .golangci.yml file under linters-settings -> unused [3]. For v2.13.1 specifically, the release focused on dependency updates and bug fixes for various linters [4][5][6], but it did not change the core default enabled status or the fundamental behavior of the unused linter regarding unexported methods [5][6].

<title>Quick Start – Golangci-lint</title>
https://golangci-lint.run/docs/welcome/quick-start/
Quick Start – Golangci-lint ## Linting To run golangci-lint: ```bash golangci-lint run ``` It’s an equivalent of: ```bash golangci-lint run ./... ``` You can choose which directories or files to analyze: ```bash golangci-lint run dir1 dir2/... golangci-lint run file1.go ``` Directories are NOT analyzed recursively. To analyze them recursively append `/...` to their path. It’s not possible to mix files and packages/directories, and files must come from the same package. Golangci-lint can be used with zero configuration. By default, the following linters are enabled: ```console $ golangci-lint help linters Enabled by default linters: errcheck: Errcheck is a program for checking for unchecked errors in Go code. These unchecked errors can be critical bugs in some cases. govet: Vet examines Go source code and reports suspicious constructs. It is roughly the same as &`#39`;go vet&`#39`; and uses its passes. [auto-fix] ineffassign: Detects when assignments to existing variables are not used. [fast] staticcheck: It&`#39`;s the set of rules from staticcheck. [auto-fix] unused: Checks Go code for unused constants, variables, functions and types. ``` Pass `-E/--enable` to enable linter and `-D/--disable` to disable: ```bash golangci-lint run --default=none -E errcheck ``` More information about available linters can be found in the linters page. ## Formatting To format your code: ```bash golangci-lint fmt ``` You can choose which directories or files to analyze: ```bash golangci-lint fmt dir1 dir2/... golangci-lint fmt file1.go ``` More information about available formatters can be found in the formatters page.

This is my code snippet: ``` package main import ( "fmt" ) func main() { fmt.Println("Hello, let&`#39`;s use some functions") fmt.Println("========================") fmt.Println("1:", UsedFunc1()) } func UsedFunc1() string { return "I&`#39`;m used func 1." } func UnusedFunc1() string { return "I&`#39`;m UNused func 1." } func unusedFunc2() string { return "I&`#39`;m UNused func 2." } ``` And this is the golangci.yml: ``` run: issues-exit-code: 1 output: format: colored-line-number print-issued-lines: true print-linter-name: true linters: disable-all: true enable: - unused linters-settings: unused: # Mark all struct fields that have been written to as used. # Default: true field-writes-are-uses: false # Treat IncDec statement (e.g. `i++` or `i--`) as both read and write operation instead of just write. # Default: false post-statements-are-reads: true # Mark all exported identifiers as used. # Default: true exported-is-used: false # Mark all exported fields as used. # default: true exported-fields-are-used: false # Mark all function parameters as used. # default: true parameters-are-used: false # Mark all local variables as used. # default: true local-variables-are-used: false # Mark all identifiers inside generated files as used. # Default: true generated-is-used: false ``` When I run`golangci-lint run ./...`, I only get one unused function: ``` main.go:27:6: func `unusedFunc2` is unused (unused) func unusedFunc2() string { ``` But when I use`deadcode ./...`, it finds both unused functions: ``` main.go:23:6: unreachable func: UnusedFunc1 main.go:27:6: unreachable func: unusedFunc2 ``` Can you please tell me how I can achieve the same result with the "unused" linter as with the deadcode? 2 Answered by ldez Jun 14, 2024 I think it&`#39`;s not the same`deadcode`, I think it&`#39`;s the tool by the Go team. View full answer ## 2 comments 1 reply ### ccoVeille Jun 14, 2024 What happen when you use golangci-lint 1.59.0 ? 1.54.0 is old 2 0 replies edited ### bombsimon Jun 14, 2024 Collaborator I don&`#39`;t think it&`#39`;s possible because reporting unused for exported functions is asking for false positives. If they&`#39`;re public you don&`#39`;t know who uses them. I get it makes sense in your own private code base but form a static analysis perspective an exported function can be used externally and static analysis is done on package level. Some discussions around the different alternatives and when/why`deadcode` got deprecated can be found in#1841 2 1 reply #### ldez Jun 14, 2024 Maintainer I think it&`#39`;s not the same`deadcode`, I think it&`#39`;s the tool by the Go team.

The repository has no Go call site for addConflictKeyWithUid. Trunk enables golangci-lint2@2.13.1, whose default unused linter reports unused unexported methods. This method therefore fails the configured lint check.

Guard the decoded UID slice before indexing.
Encoder.Done returns nil when no UID was added. However, ReadPostingList accepts a serialized PostingList with a present empty Pack without validating its blocks. If that list has no postings, this branch runs, codec.Decode returns an empty slice, and uids[0] panics.

Avoid storing the first pointer twice.
When txn.pointers is nil, AddPointer stores p at index 0 and then appends p again. The first call therefore makes GetPointers return two entries. Remove the initialization branch because append handles a nil slice.

pb.DirectedEdge embeds protoimpl.MessageState, which embeds pragma.DoNotCopy backed by [0]sync.Mutex. The checked-in Trunk configuration runs golangci-lint2 with govet and does not exclude this test file, so c := *e can fail the copylocks check. The helper only needs a fresh edge for its top-level ValueId mutation, but proto.Clone is a safe replacement that also avoids shared protobuf state.

Snapshot other under its read lock before merging.
The equal-shard branch ranges other.shards[i] without other.locks[i]. A concurrent Set or Update on other can race with this map read and panic with concurrent map read and map write. Copy each shard while holding its read lock, then release it before updating s to avoid deadlocks between reciprocal Merge calls.
🔒 Proposed fix
go func(i int) {
defer wg.Done()
- otherShard := other.shards[i]- for k, v := range otherShard {+ other.locks[i].RLock()+ pairs := make([]struct {+ k K+ v V+ }, 0, len(other.shards[i]))+ for k, v := range other.shards[i] {+ pairs = append(pairs, struct {+ k K+ v V+ }{k, v})+ }+ other.locks[i].RUnlock()+ for _, p := range pairs {+ k, v := p.k, p.v

}
}(i)
The changed posting pipeline does not call LockedShardedMap.Merge. The repository’s production Merge caller uses types.ShardedMap; the remaining LockedShardedMap.Merge use is its test. Classify this as a minor stability issue for concurrent use, not a major pipeline failure.

Adds an alternative path through `applyMutations` that fans the edges of
a single mutation out by predicate and processes each predicate's batch
in its own goroutine, exposing parallelism the legacy serial-by-edge
path cannot. The per-predicate runners drive the full mutation lifecycle
(scalar/list, reverse, count, tokenized index, vector index) through new
helpers in posting/index.go: `MutationPipeline.Process` →
`ProcessPredicate` → `ProcessSingle` / `ProcessList` / `ProcessVectorIndex`,
with `InsertTokenizerIndexes`, `ProcessReverse`, and `ProcessCount`
shared across the predicate-shaped paths.
Supporting infrastructure:
- `posting.Deltas` — per-txn delta store split into a sharded raw-bytes
map and a per-predicate `indexMap` for batched index writes.
- `types.LockedShardedMap` — generic sharded RWMutex map used by Deltas
and the in-memory index aggregation.
- New mutation-time helpers on `posting.Txn` (`AddDelta`,
`GetScalarList`, `addConflictKey`, `addConflictKeyWithUid`).
- Test scaffolding in `worker/mutation_unit_test.go`,
`worker/sort_test.go`, and `worker/draft_test.go`.
This commit squashes the original WIP series authored by Harshil Goel
(commits 978a0d4…41d6445ce on the abandoned branch) plus the merge
into current `main` and the mechanical clean-ups required to compile
against it: import paths `hypermodeinc/dgraph` → `dgraph-io/dgraph`,
license headers, a `posting/mvcc_test.go::TestRegression9597` fix-up
for the `LocalCache.deltas` map → `*Deltas` refactor, and a stray doc
reference in TESTING.md.
The pipeline ships gated and disabled; the on/off knob and subsequent
correctness fixes follow in later commits in this series.

Removes the unconditional debug prints scattered through posting/
during the original WIP work — they fired on every read, mutation,
rollup, and commit. None of them were guarded by a verbosity flag,
so under load they would have produced megabytes of stdout noise
per second.
Sites stripped:
- posting/lists.go: READING / READING SINGLE / GETTING KEY FROM DELTAS
- posting/index.go: TOKENS, LOCAL MAP, INSERTING INDEX, UPDATE INDEX,
ERRORRRING, "Inserting tokenizer indexes ... took"
- posting/mvcc.go: COMMITTING (and unused fmt import)
- posting/list.go: "Buidlding committed uids", "Setting mutation",
PrintRollup helper (called once internally, never elsewhere)
Left in place: printTreeStats() in index.go, which is already
gated by the DEBUG_SHOW_HNSW_TREE env var and is an intentional
opt-in HNSW debug helper.
No behavior change.

Two large dead-code blocks left over from the original WIP:
- posting/index.go: ~175 lines of an alternate
InsertTokenizerIndexes implementation, fully commented out. The
live implementation directly above it supersedes it; keeping the
commented variant just made the file harder to follow. Also drop
the scattered "//fmt.Println(...)" leftovers next to live code.
- worker/draft_test.go: BenchmarkProcessListIndex was added entirely
commented out and references methods (DefaultPipeline,
ProcessListWithoutIndex, ProcessListIndex) that don't exist on
MutationPipeline. If we want a benchmark for the pipeline, we
should write one against the real API.

a real superflag knob, defaulted off:
- Add WorkerOptions.MutationsUsePipeline (bool) in x/config.go.
- Extend the feature-flags superflag with mutations-use-pipeline=false
and wire alpha to populate WorkerConfig.MutationsUsePipeline from it.
- worker/draft.go applyMutations now branches on
x.WorkerConfig.MutationsUsePipeline; default false routes mutations
through the legacy path, preserving current behavior.
Tests can opt into the new pipeline by setting
x.WorkerConfig.MutationsUsePipeline = true. CLI usage:

TestCount is t.Skip()'d on the branch, but the reason wasn't
recorded. Investigation: the test launches concurrent transactions
sharing entity uids and bypasses the Oracle's conflict-checking
commit path — it just calls CommitToDisk() directly with disjoint
commit timestamps. Both the legacy AddMutationWithIndex path and
the new mutation pipeline fail it identically: with two threads
adding edges to the same subject's [uid] @count predicate, neither
path can serialize @count updates without real txn conflicts, so
the count index ends up inconsistent and many subjects are missing
from count(N).
This is expected without conflict checking — the unit harness can't
exercise the safety the Oracle provides. Re-enable when we wire
either: (a) Oracle.WaitForTs/IsAborted into the harness, or (b)
this test through worker.applyMutations() (which does invoke the
Oracle conflict path).
Single-thread TestCount passes, so the per-predicate pipeline's
own count logic is correct in the absence of contention. The
existing TestStringIndexWithLang covers the multithreaded happy
path with disjoint uids.

…ssCount
Bug: scalar @count writes were nondeterministically losing data under
concurrent transactions. Roughly half the deltas committed by the
new mutation pipeline contained only a [DeleteAll] posting and no
Set, so reads at maxTs returned an empty value list.
Root cause: in ProcessSingle, handleOldDeleteForSingle appends a
synthetic Del-of-old-value to postings[uid] alongside the user's
Set, so InsertTokenizerIndexes / ProcessReverse / count diffing can
see the prior value. ProcessCount then iterates the postings and
calls list.updateMutationLayer(post, singleUidUpdate=true, ...) on
each. For non-Lang scalar predicates fingerprintEdge returns
math.MaxUint64, so the synthetic Del and the user Set both have
Uid == math.MaxUint64. The first iteration (Set new) leaves
mutationMap.currentEntries = [DeleteAll, Set new]; the second
iteration (Del old) finds the Set we just inserted via findPosting
and applies updateMutationLayer in singleUidUpdate mode, which
unconditionally rewrites currentEntries to [DeleteAll] (the Del
branch never appends mpost) — wiping the new value.
Fix: in ProcessCount, when iterating a !isListEdge predicate's
postings, if the list contains a Set/Ovr posting, treat any Del as
synthetic and skip it for the data-list update. Standalone user Dels
(no accompanying Set) are still applied. Index/reverse/count diffing
already happen before ProcessCount runs and aren't affected.
Repro: TestPipelineCountIndexConcurrent in worker/sort_test.go is a
new conflict-aware in-process harness that mirrors the systest
TestCountIndexConcurrentSetDelScalarPredicate. It runs 200
contending transactions setting <0x1> <name> "name<rand>" against a
"string @index(exact) @count" schema with a fakeOracle that
implements the same hasConflict algorithm as
dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go. Pre-fix the test fails roughly 50% of
runs with an empty data list and the wrong count buckets; post-fix
it is stable across 20+ -count iterations and under -race.
Existing tests (TestScalarPredicateIntCount, *RevCount, *Count,
TestSingleUidReplacement, TestDeleteSetWithVarEdgeCorruptsData,
TestStringIndexWithLang, TestMultipleTxnListCount, TestGetScalarList,
TestDatetime) all pass.

When loading via dgraph live (or any mutation source whose uids span
the full uint64 range, including xidmap-assigned uids), the
per-predicate pipeline hung indefinitely on the very first batch with
zero forward progress. A goroutine dump showed the dispatcher
goroutine wedged on \`chan send (nil chan)\` at the line:
chMap[int(uid)%numGo] <- uid
uid is uint64. Casting directly to int produces a negative value for
uid >= 2^63, so int(uid)%10 can be in [-9, -1]. chMap[-3] returns the
zero value for a chan uint64, which is a nil channel; sending on a
nil channel blocks forever.
The 10 worker goroutines (also created here) were idle on
\`for uid := range uids\` since no uids ever reached them, so the
parent \`wg.Wait()\` and the surrounding errgroup never returned.
applyMutations therefore never released the txn, the alpha's old-txn
abort loop kept retrying every minute, and live-load showed
"Txns: 0 N-Quads: 0" indefinitely.
Fix: hash unsigned, then cast: \`chMap[int(uid%uint64(numGo))]\`.
Verified end-to-end with the live loader against the 1million.rdf.gz
benchmark dataset (1,041,684 n-quads, schema mixes [uid] @reverse@count, [uid] @count, datetime @index(year), string @index(...) @lang,
geo @index(geo), string @index(exact) @upsert):
legacy : 13.85s / 14.74s (avg ~14.3s, ~77k n-quads/s)
pipeline : 9.65s / 9.36s (avg ~9.5s, ~116k n-quads/s)
That is ~1.50x faster on a realistic multi-predicate, multi-index
workload — i.e. the case the per-predicate runner pipeline is built
for.
Also adds worker/pipeline_bench_test.go: in-process Go benchmarks
comparing legacy runMutation vs newRunMutations across a matrix of
(predicates, edges-per-predicate, indexed/non-indexed) shapes. They
show the pipeline loses ~2x on tiny mutations (1-10 edges) and wins
1.2x-1.55x on bulk (10 preds x 100+ edges, indexed or not), which is
why the feature flag stays default-off and the live-loader speedup
above is the right place to evaluate this work.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The benchmark matrix in worker/pipeline_bench_test.go showed the
pipeline loses ~2x on small mutations (≤10 edges total) and wins
~1.5x on bulk (live-loader sized: 1000 edges per txn across many
predicates). A binary on/off flag forces an all-or-nothing choice,
penalising whichever side of that crossover the workload spends most
time on.
Replace MutationsUsePipeline (bool) with MutationsPipelineThreshold
(int):
threshold = 0 -> never use the pipeline (default; legacy behavior)
threshold = 1 -> always use the pipeline (any txn with ≥1 edge)
threshold = N -> use the pipeline only when len(m.Edges) >= N
The threshold compares against total edges in the proposal. From the
benches the crossover is around 100; the live-loader 1M dataset uses
~1000 edges per txn, so anything from 100-1000 will engage the
pipeline only on bulk-shaped mutations and leave small interactive
mutations on the legacy serial path.
Wiring:
- x.WorkerConfig.MutationsPipelineThreshold (int) replaces the
bool field.
- feature-flags superflag: "mutations-pipeline-threshold=0".
- alpha/run.go reads it via featureFlagsConf.GetInt64.
- worker/draft.go applyMutations branches on
`t > 0 && len(m.Edges) >= t`.
Verified end-to-end against the live-loader benchmark
(1million.rdf.gz, official 1M schema):
threshold=0 : 13.56s, 80,129 N-Quads/s (legacy, matches baseline)
threshold=1 : 9.92s, 115,742 N-Quads/s (always-on, matches prior)
CLI usage:
dgraph alpha --feature-flags="mutations-pipeline-threshold=200"
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Engages the per-predicate mutation pipeline by default so that systest
runs (and any other test suites that don't override feature-flags)
exercise the pipeline path on every mutation, not the legacy serial
path. Threshold of 1 means "any mutation with ≥1 edge takes the
pipeline" — i.e. always on.
This is a deliberate ramp toward shipping the pipeline. Operators who
want to opt small interactive mutations out of the pipeline (where
benches showed ~2x slowdown for ≤10-edge txns) can set a higher
threshold:
dgraph alpha --feature-flags="mutations-pipeline-threshold=200"
To turn the pipeline fully off, set 0.

The original branch commit 41d6445 ("fixed some bug") replaced
the IsEmpty(readTs) call in IterateDisk with a hardcoded `false`,
forcing every key found by the iterator to be reported as non-empty.
That broke has(<predicate>) for any uid whose value had been removed
via star-deletion (<uid> <pred> *): the data list still exists in
badger with a DeleteAll marker on top, but the live posting list is
empty at readTs — IsEmpty returns true and the uid should be skipped.
Surfaced by systest TestSystestSuite/TestHasDeletedEdge in
systest/mutations-and-queries: 3 nodes are created with <end> "",
one is star-deleted, follow-up has(end) is expected to return 2 uids.
With IsEmpty stubbed to false it returned 3.
No comment was left on the original change. Restoring the call. The
mutations-and-queries package is fully green with this in place
(66/66 tests pass including TestHasDeletedEdge); if a real underlying
issue motivated the original disable we'll chase it with a real
diagnosis instead of silently dropping a safety check.

…p stale READING debug prints
Two bugs surfaced by graphql/e2e/auth's TestOrderAndOffset (cleanup
mutation \`mutation DelTask { deleteTask(filter: {}) }\` crashed the
alpha mid-request, causing the test client to see EOF on POST):
1. posting/index.go ProcessSingle SIGSEGV at line 675.
GraphQL deleteTask cleanup expands into multiple Del edges per
entity (one per predicate the entity has — uid, type, list edges,
etc.). When two Del edges to the same uid land in one transaction's
batch, the second iteration through ProcessSingle's per-edge loop
does:
pl, exists := postings[uid]
if exists {
if edge.Op == DEL {
oldVal = findSingleValueInPostingList(pl)
if string(edge.Value) == string(oldVal.Value) { ... }
^^^^^^ nil deref
}
}
findSingleValueInPostingList only returns Set postings; if the
accumulated list holds only Dels (from the prior iteration), it
returns nil and we panic dereferencing oldVal.Value.
Two fixes here:
- Guard the deref: \`if oldVal != nil && string(...) == ...\`.
- Move \`var oldVal *pb.Posting\` inside the loop. It was declared
at function scope, so a stale value from one edge could bleed
into the nil-guarded branch for a different uid on a later
iteration. Per-edge scope makes the intent explicit.
2. worker/task.go: two leftover \`fmt.Println("READING SINGLE", ...)\`
and \`fmt.Println("READING", ...)\` calls in the value-postings
read path. Same class of debug spew Phase 1B stripped from
posting/, missed because that sweep didn't include worker/.
Removed both. Safe — they were unconditional prints on every
query value read.
The graphql/e2e/auth and graphql/e2e/auth/debug_off packages now both
pass in 30s. \`./posting/\` and \`./worker/\` unit tests still green.

…addKeyToBatch
The 21million live-load systest failed with `~genre @filter(uid(F))`
returning wrong films for some genres — corruption pattern was that
one genre's reverse list contained another genre's films verbatim,
while a third genre's reverse list was missing thousands of entries.
Different genres were affected on each load, but always: legacy
runMutation produced correct reverse counts; the per-predicate
pipeline produced corrupt ones.
Root cause: the pipeline's ProcessCount per-uid loop allocates one
key buffer per ProcessCount call and mutates its trailing 8 bytes
each iteration via `binary.BigEndian.PutUint64(dataKey[len-8:], uid)`.
Two distinct sites then captured the slice header rather than the
bytes:
1. ReadPostingList's `l.key = key` aliased the caller's buffer.
saveInCache stores a copyList of the freshly-read list, and
copyList sets `key: l.key` — also an alias. The cached list's
key field therefore points at a buffer that the pipeline keeps
mutating; by the time the async rollup path retrieves the
cached list and runs `kv.Key = alloc.Copy(l.key)` to build the
rolled-up KV, the bytes are whatever the LAST iteration left
behind. Rollup then writes a BitCompletePosting with
WithDiscard() to the wrong key, overwriting an unrelated
reverse list with this list's (rolled-up) contents.
2. ReadPostingList's defer `IncrRollup.addKeyToBatch(key, ...)`
appended the slice header verbatim to the rollup queue. Every
queued entry from one ProcessCount goroutine ended up pointing
at the same shared dataKey buffer; by the time the rollup
goroutine processed the batch the bytes had collapsed to the
final iteration's uid, redirecting many distinct rollup
targets to the same key.
Both sites fixed by taking ownership of the bytes (`append nil` /
explicit `make+copy`). Legacy runMutation hits ReadPostingList too
but allocates a fresh key per call, so it never aliased anything;
the bug is only visible when a caller deliberately reuses one
buffer across many uids the way ProcessCount does.
Verified end-to-end on the systest/21million/live load with
mutations-pipeline-threshold=1: a fresh load + sweep across all 764
Genre entities now reports `count(~genre) == count(forward edges)`
for every genre. Pre-fix the same sweep showed 4 mismatched genres
with thousands of stale or missing reverse entries; on a different
load it showed Documentary missing 23,325 of its 31,370 reverse
entries while Children's/Family had 1,435 stale Crime-Thriller
entries.
Unit tests in posting/ and worker/ still pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Added in pursuit of the 21million live-load failure that turned out
to be the dataKey buffer-aliasing bug fixed in 0a9ffc1. None of
these tests reproduce that specific corruption — it needs the async
rollup path that only triggers on a real running cluster — but they
pin down what the per-predicate pipeline does correctly for the
non-rollup cases:
- TestPipelineReverseListCount: one transaction, multiple subjects
pointing at multiple objects on a [uid] @reverse@count predicate.
Verifies forward and reverse lists are both complete.
- TestPipelineReverseListCountMultiBatch: 50 subjects x 20 objects
spread across 143 sequential transactions in batches of 7.
- TestPipelineReverseListCountMultiPred: 30 subjects x 12 objects
across 3 distinct list-uid + reverse + count predicates, with
shuffled edges and small batches so the per-predicate pipeline
goroutines for each predicate run in parallel inside Process().
- TestPipelineReverseListCountConcurrent: same shape as the
multi-batch case but with 10 worker goroutines submitting batches
in parallel through the fakeOracle conflict-checking harness.
All four pass cleanly. They guard against regressions in the
in-memory mutation path's reverse-list bookkeeping; the rollup path
that the 0a9ffc1 fix actually targets is exercised by the
systest/21million/live integration test.

…empty genres
A comprehensive `count(~genre)` check across every Genre entity in
the 21million dataset. The query asks for each genre's name and the
size of its reverse posting list, sorted by name; the fixture pins
the expected count for all 592 genres that have at least one film.
Motivation: the per-predicate mutation pipeline had a buffer-aliasing
bug (fixed in 0a9ffc1) that produced wrong reverse-list contents
on a different small subset of genres each load — sometimes
Documentary lost most of its 31,370 entries, sometimes
Children's/Family gained ~1,500 spurious Crime-Thriller entries,
sometimes Backstage Musical and Indie film were the affected pair.
The existing query-017 (Taraji-films-by-genre) only catches it when
that specific actor's films happen to land on a corrupted genre,
and query-016 / query-044 only test genres above 30,000 films.
This new query exercises every genre's reverse list and pins the
exact expected count, so any regression that mis-routes reverse
edges for any genre will fail it directly.

Two related bugs in the per-predicate mutation pipeline that surface as
stale index entries under TestStringIndex (systest/bgindex):
1. Process() (the star-delete fast path) was passing the caller's bare
context to handleDeleteAll. schema.State().IsIndexed / IsReversed /
HasCount only consult the pending mutSchema (the new schema with the
index being built) when the context carries the isWrite flag. The
legacy runMutation path calls schema.GetWriteContext at the top; the
pipeline didn't. During a background index build, every star-delete
saw isIndexed=false and skipped addIndexMutations(DEL) for the prior
value, leaving stale uids in the index permanently. Lifting
GetWriteContext into Process covers both the star-delete path and the
later predicate-pipeline goroutines.
2. ProcessSingle's data-list write was passing the unfiltered postings
list to AddDelta. handleOldDeleteForSingle appends a synthetic
Del(oldVal) alongside the user's Set(newVal) so InsertTokenizerIndexes
and ProcessReverse can emit Del-of-old entries. For scalar non-list
non-lang predicates both postings share Uid == math.MaxUint64, and at
read time pickPostings' equal-ts tie-break falls back to Go's unstable
sort.Slice while setMutationAfterCommit overwrites
committedUids[mpost.Uid] in append order. Either way Del can clobber
the new Set and the data list reads as "no value." ProcessCount
already strips the synthetic Del via skipSyntheticDel; mirror that
filter in ProcessSingle's main data-list path.

HNSW Insert performs multi-key read-modify-write across the entry-pointer
key, the per-level edge lists, and back-edges into the neighbors of the
new node. Per-list locks make each key's update atomic, but the
cross-key sequences ("read entry, lock entry, read neighbor, modify
neighbor, append back-edge to neighbor's list…") are not. Running 10
worker goroutines concurrently against the same txn cache lets updates
stomp on each other, leaving nodes that have a data-list entry but are
unreachable from the entry point.
Surface symptom: similar_to(k=N) returns fewer than N hits even though
all N vectors committed to the data list. TestVectorTwoTxnWithoutCommit
reliably reproduced this on Linux CI (and not on the macOS dev box,
likely a scheduling artifact).
Legacy applyMutations arrives at single-threaded vector handling
indirectly via x.DivideAndRule: for any num < 256 the helper rounds
numGo down to 1, so a 5-edge vector mutation runs serially on main and
the bug never surfaces there. Mirror that here by dropping
numThreads to 1 — correctness over within-txn parallelism for vector
predicates. Cross-txn parallelism is unaffected.

1. Process() channel-send deadlock when a predicate goroutine errors
before the buffered channel drains. The bare `pred.edges <- edge`
send had no select on egCtx.Done(), so once the 1000-slot buffer
filled and the reader had exited the dispatcher blocked forever
and eg.Wait() was never reached. Guard the send with a select +
labeled break, still close every per-predicate channel and call
eg.Wait() so the goroutine's real error wins over context.Canceled.
2. ProcessSingle compared `string(edge.Value) == string(oldVal.Value)`
on uid postings whose Value is nil. nil==nil always matched, so a
same-batch DEL wrongly overwrote an accumulated SET in the
exists=true branch and synthesised a spurious DEL delta in the
exists=false branch. Introduce a sameTarget closure that compares
Uid/ValueId for uid postings and Value for scalars; use it at both
call sites. handleOldDeleteForSingle picked up the same fix on its
committed-vs-new comparison.
3. Same-batch SET after a star-delete restored the prior committed
values: handleDeleteAll wrote [{deleteAll}] into currentEntries via
setCurrentEntries; the pipeline's later AddDelta for the
accumulated SET overwrote currentEntries via the same path and
reset deleteAllMarker. populateDeleteAll at read time then found
no deleteAll and the previously committed friends survived.
Preserve any existing deleteAll posting when setCurrentEntries
overwrites — mirroring legacy's append-via-insertPosting behaviour.
4 & 5. ProcessList lost index emissions for scalar @lang predicates
in two ways: (a) it never read the committed posting list to emit
a DEL of the old value when SET-replacing — only the SET for the
new value was emitted, so the old "Alice"@en index entry persisted
after SET "Alicia"@en; (b) for scalar @lang mpost.Uid is
fingerprint(Lang), so SET-new + DEL-old@same-lang collided in the
per-uid slot inside mutations[uid] — the second write erased the
first and only one of the two index emissions survived. Legacy
avoids both because addMutationHelper generates index mutations
per edge before the same-uid overwrite takes effect.
Fix: maintain rawIndexPostings alongside mutations — every batched
posting is appended in arrival order, bypassing insertPosting's
collapse. New helper handleOldDeleteForList iterates the cached
posting list via l.Iterate, finds each committed SET matching a
lang fingerprint touched in this batch, and appends a synthetic
DEL of the old value to rawIndexPostings. Skipped when
info.isList=true because list-typed predicates append rather than
replace. Pass rawIndexPostings to InsertTokenizerIndexes;
postings (the collapsed view) is still used for the data write
and ProcessReverse, where collapse is correct.
6. When a SET and a DEL for the same uid tokenized into the same
index bucket (e.g. case-insensitive tokenizer where "Apple" and
"APPLE" share token "apple"), InsertTokenizerIndexes' last-write-
wins insertPosting on indexGenInThread left whichever op landed
last as the winner. For the scalar @index [DEL old, SET new] case
handleOldDeleteForSingle appended a third synthetic DEL, so
postings had three entries and the previous `isSingleEdge &&
len==2` reversal heuristic no longer fired — the resulting
DEL-SET-DEL emission order left the uid removed from a bucket she
should still belong to. Replace the order-dependent reversal with
a stable Del-first sort of the per-uid posting list. SETs land in
indexGenInThread after DELs for the same bucket so the SET wins;
for different buckets the sort is a no-op on correctness.
Adds posting/pipeline_test.go as the regression harness — 25 tests
covering 13 scenarios, each with a TestLegacy* mirror so any future
divergence between the pipeline and legacy runMutation paths is
caught directly. The header comment documents the startTs/commitTs
band layout used to isolate tests.
posting/ unit tests fully green; all Legacy* mirrors continue to
pass — these fixes are pipeline-specific.

1. handleOldDeleteForSingle cleared postings[uid] to an empty
PostingList whenever the new SET value matched the committed
value. The intent was "value unchanged, skip the write," but
clearing also bypassed InsertTokenizerIndexes / ProcessReverse —
so a SET that needed to populate a newly-added @index or
@reverse (data committed before the alter, then re-SET with the
same value under the new schema) emitted no index/reverse entry.
TestSchemaMutationIndexRemove caught this: query for
anyofterms(name, "Alice") returned [] after a same-value SET on
a term-indexed predicate. Legacy passes because runMutation
calls addIndexMutations per SET edge regardless of value change.
Fix: in both same-value branches (REF and scalar), continue
without clearing postings[uid]. The SET stays so the index /
reverse passes can populate the entry — idempotent when it
already existed, load-bearing when the index was newly added.
2. ProcessSingle's data-write loop called addConflictKey + AddDelta
for every uid in the postings map, including uids whose
accumulated PostingList was empty. An empty list happens when
setPosting was never invoked — e.g. a DEL whose value did not
match the committed value (a no-op per Dgraph semantics) or the
same-value SET no-op after fixdgraph-io#1. AddDelta with an empty input
marshals to empty bytes and then calls list.setMutation on the
txn-cached List, which routes through setCurrentEntries and
resets the mutable layer (currentEntries cleared, deleteAllMarker
reset). Any reader holding that cached List then reads the data
list as empty. CommitToDisk filters empty-PostingList deltas
before badger writes (mvcc.go ~L318), but UpdateCachedKeys still
propagates them to the global MemLayer via setMutationAfterCommit,
planting committedEntries[commitTs] = emptyPL with CommitTs set.
TestDeleteScalarValue and TestUpsertDeleteWrongValue surfaced
this: a DEL with a wrong value (val(updated_amt) where
updated_amt = amt + 1) deleted the data anyway. ProcessList
(~L401) and ProcessReverse (~L466) already had the empty-pl
guard; ProcessSingle did not.
Fix: at the top of ProcessSingle's data-write loop, skip uids
with an empty PostingList — matches the sibling paths.
Regression coverage in posting/pipeline_test.go:
- TestMutationPipelineSetThenAddIndexThenResetMirrorsAlphaFailure
- TestMutationPipelineSameValueSetKeepsIndex
- TestMutationPipelineDelWithWrongValueIsNoOp
- TestMutationPipelineDelWrongValueTwoUidsCloseMatch
All with Legacy mirrors that pass before the fix; the
TestMutationPipeline* variants fail without the fix.
…sList forward write
Builds on the per-predicate mutation pipeline (dgraph-io#9467). Three additive,
flag-gated changes that make a single hot/dominant predicate's apply
actually parallelize:
1. Proportional goroutine budget across predicates (allocateWorkers):
mutations-pipeline-goroutines=N distributes N workers by edge count
(largest-remainder), so a dominant predicate gets >1 worker.
2. Auto mode (=-1): budget = min(GOMAXPROCS*fraction, edges/minEdgesPerWorker),
derived at runtime. Tunables mutations-pipeline-goroutines-fraction (1.0)
and mutations-pipeline-min-edges-per-worker (256).
3. Parallel forward data-write in ProcessList (the merge-light <pred,uid>
pass), matching the existing ProcessSingle split, so [uid]/@reverse
predicates' forward write parallelizes. ProcessReverse stays SERIAL.
Default is off (0) => byte-identical to the current one-goroutine-per-
predicate path. Byte-identical equivalence + conflict-key-set tests pass
under -race for scalar, [uid] @reverse, and AUTO==fixed. Benchmarks
(8-core dev box, ~20k-edge batch) included.

…chemas
Confirms the intra-predicate goroutine budget (proportional, auto, and the
ProcessList parallel forward write) produces byte-identical committed state
and identical conflict-key sets vs. the legacy one-goroutine-per-predicate
path, across string (exact/hash/term/fulltext/trigram), int(+count), float,
dateTime, bool, geo, [uid]@reverse(+count), uid@reverse, [string], @upsert,
@noconflict, and @lang predicates. Generic: scans every committed Badger key

… grant
ProcessReverse built reverseredMap[targetUid] then wrote each target
serially via AddDelta, which holds the GLOBAL txn.cache.Lock() across
proto.Marshal. With many predicates applying concurrently at L1 they all
convoy on that one mutex. A live goroutine dump (25 [uid] @reverse
predicates, 20k triples/txn) showed 61% of pipeline goroutines parked in
ProcessReverse and 86% of those blocked on that lock.
Two changes:
1. Split "use the lock-free store" from "split across k goroutines".
Both decisions were tied to workers > 1, but allocateWorkers hands out
mostly 1-worker grants when the budget is below ~2x the predicate count
(the shipped default of 30 with 25 predicates yields {1:20, 2:5}), so
nearly every predicate fell back to the global lock. Now any enabled
budget uses concStore; workers == 0 keeps the legacy locked AddDelta so
"budget off == byte-identical legacy" still holds.
2. Above reverseParallelMinTargets (256) distinct targets, partition the
target-uid keyspace across the predicate's worker grant. reverseredMap
is keyed BY target, so each <~pred,targetUid> key has exactly one
writer (I1) — the same disjointness that makes ProcessList's forward
write safe. Below the threshold the map holds a few hot targets with
large lists; sharding that shape measured as a net loss, so it stays
serial.
concStore reproduces AddDelta(..., true, true) exactly: prior-delta
prepend (a *Txn spans proposals, so dropping it silently loses an earlier
proposal's reverse postings) and unconditional sort/dedup, reading only
the sharded delta map — never (*Deltas).Get, which also touches indexMap
under cache.Lock. Per-worker key buffers are required: addConflictKeyWithUid
fingerprints the full buffer including the 8 uid bytes.
The reverseredMap BUILD stays serial (many-to-one, shared edge struct);
parallelising it needs a merge stage that costs more than it saves. The
info.count path returns to ProcessCount before any of this, unchanged.
Measured on i4i.16xlarge (32 physical cores), 25 [uid] @reverse predicates,
20k triples/txn, 64 threads, badger_write_bytes_user:
budget=30 (default): 9.63 -> 10.58 MB/s (+9.9%)
budget=-1 (auto): 9.68 -> 11.29 MB/s (+16.6%)
Reverse-write parking drops 61% -> 37%; global cache.Lock blocking drops
86% -> 41%.
Tests: byte-identical committed state and conflict-key sets across budgets
{0,8,32,auto} for 13 schemas, incl. two new high-cardinality rows covering
the ProcessList and ProcessSingle legs of the parallel path, plus a
cross-proposal regression test for the addToList prepend (verified to fail
when the prepend is removed). Full posting package green under -race.

ProcessList and ProcessSingle tied two independent decisions to the same
`workers > 1` test: whether to use the lock-free store, and whether to
split the uid space across goroutines. allocateWorkers hands out mostly
one-worker grants whenever the budget is below ~2x the predicate count —
the shipped default of 30 with 25 predicates yields {1:20, 2:5} — so 20 of
25 predicates fell back to AddDelta, which holds the GLOBAL
txn.cache.Lock() across proto.Marshal. With every predicate goroutine at
L1 doing that, they convoy on one mutex and the parallel forward write
added in 37c834a never engages for most of the batch.
Split the two decisions, mirroring 4a02d8e's fix for ProcessReverse:
workers == 0 keeps the legacy locked AddDelta so "budget off ==
byte-identical legacy" holds; any enabled budget uses the lock-free store
(concStore for ProcessList, which must reproduce AddDelta's addToList
prepend and info.isUid sort/dedup; plain AddDeltaConcurrent for
ProcessSingle, whose serial call already passes addToList=false,
doSortAndDedup=false). The k-way split still requires workers > 1.
Single-writer safety is unchanged: <pred,uid> forward keys are one-to-one,
and x.generateKey encodes attrLen plus a per-type discriminator byte, so
two predicates cannot produce the same key string.
Measured on i4i.16xlarge (32 physical cores), 25 [uid] @reverse
predicates, 20k triples/txn, 64 threads, badger_write_bytes_user, 2 runs
per arm:
stock 9.63 MB/s
+ reverse (4a02d8e) 10.58 MB/s (+9.9%)
+ this commit 11.44 MB/s (+18.8%)
Budget stops mattering once the lock-free store is reachable at any grant:
auto measures 11.38 MB/s, within noise of the default's 11.44.
The global cache lock disappears from the blocking profile entirely —
goroutines parked on it go 86.4% (stock) -> 41-52% (reverse only) -> 0%,
and runnable goroutines rise to 57.9%. addConflictKeyWithUid's single
global txn.Lock() is now 71.2% of parked pipeline goroutines and is the
next bottleneck. CPU remains at 8% of 64 vCPU: processApplyCh applies one
Raft entry at a time, so a single Alpha cannot saturate a large box
regardless of intra-transaction parallelism.

After 4a02d8e and 612ae8c removed the txn.cache.Lock() convoy,
Txn.conflicts became the only remaining mutex contention in the apply
path: on a 32-core ingest run 25% of pipeline goroutines were blocked on
it and 46% were running inside addConflictKeyWithUid.
The map insert was never the problem. A line-level profile attributed 80%
of that function's 6.80% of total CPU to acquiring and releasing the mutex
(8.75s + 5.33s of 17.86s cum) and only 15% to the map writes (2.71s), with
every worker in every predicate contending one lock once per key.
So batch instead of shard. Each Process* accumulates its conflict keys in
a conflictBuf and flushes them under a single txn.Lock(); parallel workers
get their own buffers, merged after wg.Wait(), and never touch txn.Mutex
at all. Sharding the container was considered and rejected: it only
attacks the 2.71s of inserts (~1% of total CPU) while changing
Txn.conflicts' type, nine test sites, FillContext, and NumShards — which
is shared with the delta and index maps.
Keys are expanded EAGERLY into uint64. Every call site reuses one scratch
key buffer across iterations, so a buffer retaining the []byte and
fingerprinting at flush time would hash the last uid's bytes for every
entry — wrong keys, no panic, nothing for -race to catch.
In InsertTokenizerIndexes the flush defer is registered ABOVE
cache.Lock() so LIFO runs it after cache.Unlock(); registering it below
compiles, passes every test, and silently keeps the txn.Lock()-inside-
cache.Lock() nesting this removes.
Workers break rather than return on error so already-buffered keys still
flush. The pre-existing error path never rolled back emitted keys, so
dropping them would change the set — and since Zero's hasConflict is a
pure existential, a subset risks a lost update while a superset only
costs a spurious abort.
Measured on i4i.16xlarge (32 physical cores), 25 [uid] @reverse
predicates, 20k triples/txn, 64 threads, budget=30, 2 runs per arm:
badger_write_bytes_user 11.44 -> 12.45 MB/s (+8.8%)
triples/s 113001 -> 123732 (+9.5%)
Cumulative over stock across the three commits: 9.63 -> 12.45 MB/s (+29%).
The conflict-key path disappears from the goroutine profile entirely:
share of pipeline goroutines 68.5% -> 0.0%, blocked on its mutex
23.0% -> 0.0%, and total pipeline goroutine observations fall 518 -> 216.
The new top blocker is Deltas.AddToDeltas (57.6% of a much smaller blocked
population) — shard contention on the delta map, where NumShards = 30 is
thin for 64 vCPU.
New TestFillContextKeysGolden pins the exact ctx.Keys sent to Zero against
a golden captured at 612ae8c, and asserts they are startTs-independent.
The six existing byte-identical tests only compare budget 0 vs N, so they
cannot catch a regression that changes the serial and parallel paths the
same way; nothing asserted FillContext's output before. Full posting
package green under -race.

…nquad
worker.MaxLeaseId takes a global RWMutex read lock on the membership state
to return a single uint64. ExtractBlankUIDs called verifyUid — and thus
MaxLeaseId — for EVERY subject and every object uid, including blank
nodes, whose uid is 0 and always passes. A 20k-nquad mutation of uid edges
therefore took roughly 40k acquisitions of shared cluster state to compare
against a number that barely moves.
Take one snapshot per ExtractBlankUIDs call and only fall through to
verifyUid for uids above it. The lease is monotonically non-decreasing, so
a uid at or below the snapshot was already leased and cannot become
unleased; a uid above it still goes through the live re-read and the
existing wait-for-lease loop, so a uid racing an in-flight lease extension
is accepted exactly as before. A stale (lower) snapshot is conservative —
it can only route a uid down the slow path, never wrongly accept one.
Measured on i4i.16xlarge (32 physical cores), 25 [uid] @reverse
predicates, 20k triples/txn with EXPLICIT uids, 64 threads, 2 runs per arm:
ExtractBlankUIDs 3.67% -> absent from the profile
verifyUid 3.52% -> absent
MaxLeaseId 3.51% -> absent
CPU utilisation 8.85% -> 8.6% of 64 vCPU
Throughput is UNCHANGED (12.53 MB/s both arms). That is expected and worth
recording: at ~9% CPU on 64 vCPU this Alpha is not CPU-bound, because
processApplyCh applies one Raft entry at a time. This removes real work
and real contention on shared membership state, which matters for a
CPU-bound deployment, for co-located Alphas, and once cross-transaction
concurrency raises utilisation — but it does not move throughput today.
Only relevant when mutations carry explicit uids, which is the common case
for the high-ingest workload this series targets.

Measured results for the four perf commits on an i4i.16xlarge (32 physical
cores / 64 vCPU, local NVMe), 25 [uid] @reverse predicates, 20k triples per
transaction, 64 writer threads, 300s runs, using badger_write_bytes_user —
the same metric as the Preview1 vs Preview1-Hybrid comparison in dgraph-io#9727.
Records the throughput ladder (9.63 -> 12.45 MB/s), the goroutine-parking
progression that shows the bottleneck migrating from the global cache lock
to the conflict-key lock and then away entirely, and the CPU utilisation
that stayed under 10% of 64 vCPU throughout.
Also documents the runs that were DISCARDED and why, so they are not
re-run by accident: a stale Alpha holding :8080 that made both arms profile
the same binary, a load generator whose file striding caused 1.47M
transaction aborts, and one throughput outlier. Each of these produced
plausible-looking numbers that were wrong.

Full write-up for 5b69ac2, kept because the interesting part is the
decision NOT to shard.
Sharding Txn.conflicts was the obvious fix and was rejected on arithmetic:
a line-level profile showed ~80% of addConflictKeyWithUid's cost was lock
acquire/release and only ~15% the map insert, so batching to one
acquisition per Process* captured the win while sharding would have chased
a ~1% residual — at the cost of changing the container type, nine test
sites, FillContext, and NumShards, which is shared with the delta and
index maps. Records the explicit revisit trigger so the question stays
closed unless the numbers change.
Also captures the three implementation traps that produce silent
corruption rather than a failure: eager key expansion (call sites reuse
one scratch key buffer, so a deferred fingerprint hashes the wrong uid),
defer ordering in InsertTokenizerIndexes (registering the flush below
cache.Lock compiles and passes every test while keeping the nested lock),
and break-not-return on worker error (a shrunken conflict set risks a lost
update, since Zero's hasConflict is a pure existential).

Forward-looking companion to the validation record. Three sections worth
flagging for review:
Flag simplification. The pipeline now carries four superflag knobs, two of
which are inert unless mutations-pipeline-goroutines=-1 (not the default),
and the shipped default of 30 sits exactly on the allocateWorkers cliff:
with 25 predicates it yields a {1:20, 2:5} grant. Before 612ae8c that
silently disabled the lock-free path for 20 of 25 predicates. Also notes
that WorkerOptions.String() hand-formats the struct and omits every
MutationsPipeline* field, so the startup log cannot confirm the effective
configuration — this cost real time during live debugging.
Where the CPU actually goes now. After the series the profile is no longer
dominated by posting/: RWMutex read traffic (~11%), worker.(*groupi).Tablet
(~7-9%, a read-mostly membership map behind SafeMutex hit once per
proposal), and allocation pressure (~10%). MaxLeaseId/verifyUid was in this
list until 016a03a removed it.
Harness lessons, recorded so they are not re-learned: Dgraph returns HTTP
200 with an errors body on rejection, explicit uids need a zero lease
first, cross-predicate lock contention requires multiple predicates per
TRANSACTION rather than multiple client threads, and sequential A/B on a
thermally-throttling laptop produced a spurious 43% regression on an
unchanged code path.

Deltas.AddToDeltas was the top blocker left inside the mutation pipeline —
57.6% of blocked pipeline goroutines. It is one Set into a
LockedShardedMap[string, []byte] that every predicate worker writes to,
and the map was fixed at NumShards = 30. That constant is sized for
types.ShardedMap, an unrelated single-threaded map used by the query path,
and is far too thin for 64 vCPU.
Two coupled changes:
1. Shard count is now per-instance, defaulting to 4x GOMAXPROCS clamped to
[64, 1024] and rounded to a power of two. The struct already held shards
and locks as slices, so only the constructor was fixed at NumShards —
but getShardIndex ALSO indexed off the global constant, which would
over-run the slice or strand every shard above index 30 once the count
varied. It now masks against the map's own size. types.ShardedMap and
the shared NumShards constant are deliberately untouched.
2. String keys hashed with farm.Fingerprint64([]byte(k)), whose conversion
escapes to the heap on every Get/Set — previously ~13% of all
allocations in a 20k-edge batch, since every delta write hashes its key.
maphash.String is allocation-free. Nothing persisted depends on shard
assignment, so the hash may change freely. uint64 keys are multiplied by
a 64-bit constant before masking, because dense monotonic uids would
stripe poorly against a power-of-two mask.
Merge now falls back to a key-by-key path when two maps have different
shard counts; positional merging would silently drop keys. It has no
callers today, but per-instance sizing made that a live hazard.

…rule
CLAUDE.md is gitignored in this repo, so the same summary goes here to
survive in git history and reach anyone reading the branch.
Records the six-commit ladder (9.63 -> 13.17 MB/s, +36.8%) and the observed
bottleneck migration — global cache lock 86% -> conflict lock 71% ->
AddToDeltas 58% -> nothing above ~10% — which is why the commits had to
land in that order, each fix exposing the next.
The load-bearing part is the rule for future work: a single Alpha sits at
~10% of 64 vCPU because processApplyCh applies one Raft entry at a time, so
a change that only reduces CPU or allocations will NOT move throughput.
016a03a removed ~3.5% of CPU for exactly zero gain. Candidates must be
ranked by share of BLOCKED goroutines, not CPU. Without that rule the
remaining backlog items look attractive and are worthless — which is why
they were skipped deliberately rather than left undone by accident.

Records the strongest gate run so far: a mixed-workload corpus (~408k
triples, 17 predicate types) ingested into four fresh clusters and
fingerprinted with 72 DQL queries. stock@30, new@0, new@30 and new@auto
all produce IDENTICAL results with zero mutation errors, covering every
apply-path branch the pipeline work touched — ProcessSingle/List/Reverse/
Count, ten index tokenizers, @upsert, @noconflict, @lang, lists, DEL and
star-delete — rather than only the [uid] @reverse shape used for
benchmarking.
Also records, with evidence, that the worker package's -race failures are
pre-existing and structural rather than caused by this work: worker.Init
overwrites a package-global limiter and starts a bleed() goroutine that is
never stopped, so every test's Init races the previous test's goroutine and
the detector blames whichever test is running. Confirmed by running the
same suite on ab0a49e — both trees fail, with fluctuating sets, and
TestLimiterDeadlock fails 5/5 on both. posting passes cleanly on both.
Plus the harness trap that invalidated the first attempt: /admin export is
asynchronous, so sleeping and reading the export dir compares partial
flushes, not databases.

Full t/ runner suite against a docker image verified by symbol inspection
to contain the changes. 39 packages ok with no test or package failures,
including systest/mutations-and-queries, systest/vector (HNSW), and worker
— which passes cleanly here despite the pre-existing worker.Init race that
makes its -race unit run flaky.
Records the setup a clean box needs (Docker, gotestsum, a git root,
make local-image; ack is unavailable on RHEL 9 but the runner does not
need it), and two things that look like failures and are not: the four
panic: entries come from the deliberate panic_catcher test, and
TestRebuildTokIndex only appears to stall if badger's INFO output is
truncated by grep | head — it passes in 0.06s.
One honest gap: the first full-suite invocation exited 1 with no failing
test and a log ending mid-posting; rerunning that package alone gave
exit 0. Not explained.

stock 1.475 -> shard 1.735 MB/s (+17.6%), 44,699 -> 52,357 nquads/s
(+17.1%), 129.4s -> 110.5s wall clock, reproducible to ~1% across 2 runs
per arm.
Abort counts are identical (~1,860 both arms), which is the strongest
correctness signal yet for the conflict-key batching: conflict semantics
are unchanged under real @upsert contention.
Records two things the synthetic corpus hid: absolute throughput is ~1.5
MB/s rather than 13 because this workload is abort-dominated (only ~283 of
532 files commit; the ceiling is Zero's conflict arbitration, not the apply
path), and the relative gain is half the synthetic figure. 17.6% is the
number to quote for production, not 36.8%.

Swept client threads {2,4,8,16} on the production-replica corpus. Two
findings.
Throughput more than TRIPLES as threads drop from 16 to 2 (stock 1.48 ->
5.30 MB/s, 44.7k -> 143k nquads/s); aborts fall 1,860 -> 380 and committed
files rise 283 -> 502 of 532. On this workload the Alpha is not the
constraint — Zero's conflict arbitration over @upsert re-asserts is, and
each extra client thread buys more aborted work than committed work. This
quantifies what the production client-side node-UID lock cache is worth,
and suggests an ingest tuned for high thread counts without it is losing
throughput rather than gaining it.
The apply-path gain holds at every thread count (1.12x at 2 threads through
1.18x at 16) and is therefore not an artifact of abort noise: at 2 threads,
where 502/532 files commit and aborts are minimal, it is still +12%.
Abort counts track each other across all four thread counts (380/379,
945/931, 1465/1479, 1855/1857), confirming conflict semantics are unchanged.

…tion-*
Four superflag keys become three, renamed to say what they scope. All of this
parallelizes a single mutation; processApplyCh is still serial across
transactions, so the names now make that visible rather than leaving an
operator to infer it.
mutations-pipeline-threshold -> intra-mutation-min-edges
mutations-pipeline-goroutines -> intra-mutation-parallelism
mutations-pipeline-goroutines-fraction ^ (merged: off|auto|N|Fx)
mutations-pipeline-min-edges-per-worker -> intra-mutation-edges-per-worker
The two merged keys were the same axis in two notations -- a worker count and a
multiple of GOMAXPROCS -- with the first doubling as the tag selecting which was
read. The -1 AUTO sentinel is gone; auto is 1x.
Two of the four keys used to be inert unless goroutines == -1. That is fixed by
deleting the conditional, not the flags: edges-per-worker now caps every sizing
mode, because "do not spin N workers for a handful of edges" is as true of a
fixed count as a derived one. It stays a flag deliberately -- 256 was adopted by
analogy to DivideAndRule and never measured, and it is the binding term on a
large box, where a 20k-edge mutation caps at 78 workers however many cores
exist.
Decouple the lock-free store from the worker grant. allocateWorkers now floors
every predicate at 1 instead of returning nil, so a grant of 1 means "no
fan-out", not "take the legacy locked store". Tying those together made the
disabled setting also give up the lock-free store -- about two thirds of this
branch's measured gain -- and made the flag non-monotonic, since a one-worker
grant dropped index tokenization from 10 goroutines to 1. numGo is now
max(10, grant). intra-mutation-min-edges=0 remains the single kill switch.
Also adds the observability that was missing: the three fields now appear in
WorkerOptions.String() (the startup log could not previously confirm whether the
budget was 30 or 0), a V(2) line reports the resolved grant and which term bound
it, and intra_mutation_no_fanout_total counts the silent-degradation case.
Measured on an i4i.16xlarge against the reverse-heavy corpus this branch was
optimized for: 132,730 vs 133,026 triples/s at a fixed budget (-0.22%) and
132,664 vs 132,513 at auto (+0.11%) -- both within run-to-run noise.
TestSchemaMatrixByteIdentical now compares against the REAL legacy path (a
serial runMutation loop) rather than the pipeline with its budget off, which the
store decoupling removed. That is strictly stronger, and it surfaced three
pipeline-vs-legacy divergences that predate this work; they are measured on the
pre-change tree and recorded in pipeline-todo.md rather than pinned here.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
pipeline-todo.md §1 is closed, with the reasoning that mattered: the fix for the
inert flags was removing the conditional rather than the flags, and
edges-per-worker stayed tunable because it is unmeasured and is what actually
binds on a large box.
Two findings the trace produced that were not in the original write-up: a
worker count of 1 was silently identical to 0 while 2 gave every predicate a
lock-free grant, and the AUTO fraction saturated -- making the help text's
"raise it to oversubscribe to 2-3x cores" advice unfollowable at the batch size
it was written for. Both are now pinned by tests.
New §1c records three pipeline-vs-legacy divergences surfaced by rebasing the
byte-identity matrix onto the real legacy path. All three reproduce on the
pre-change tree, so they are unrelated to this work. The @lang case deserves its
own investigation: the pipeline drops 600 conflict keys the legacy path emits,
which is the direction that risks a lost update, and the pipeline has been the
production default all along.
ec2-validation-results.md keeps its tables verbatim -- they describe runs that
actually happened under the old keys -- with a translation table for
reproducing them.

…le it
The client-thread sweep concluded that "Zero's conflict arbitration over
@upsert re-asserts" is the constraint. Profiling says otherwise: Zero uses 9%
of ONE core on a 64-vCPU box, its goroutine count is flat, and exactly one
sample out of 1,695 lands inside Oracle.commit. It decides those ~1,860 aborts
essentially for free.
The real mechanism is wasted apply work. A doomed transaction still takes a
startTs, still gets proposed through Raft, and still runs a full pre-write
through the serial apply loop before being discarded — ~2,100 applies to commit
~283 files at 16 threads, so ~85% of apply work is thrown away while the loop
sits 68-88% occupied. The distinction is actionable: a faster Zero buys nothing,
fewer conflicts buys ~3x.
New §5a adds the control the original sweep lacked. Falling throughput with
rising threads cannot by itself separate "aborts are expensive" from
"concurrency is expensive", so the same sweep was run on a corpus with no
upserts and therefore no aborts. It goes the other way — 92,982 -> 134,173
triples/s from 2 to 64 threads, against a 3.2x fall on the abort-heavy corpus.
Concurrency is not what hurts.
Lining those up gives what a client-side lock is worth: the apply loop caps this
box at ~130-143k/s, abort-heavy at 2 threads already reaches it, and abort-heavy
at 16 threads sits 3.2x below. A lock should recover roughly 3x at 16 threads —
but it reaches that ceiling rather than beating it, since it removes abort waste
without lifting the serial apply loop. Its edge over simply lowering thread
count is that it serialises only conflicting writes.
Also records that Zero publishes no transaction metrics at all, and notes
"triples" in the sweep heading is the verb, not RDF triples.

Records the number of transaction statuses in each applied OracleDelta,
skipping empty (MaxAssigned-only) deltas so light write load does not drown
the signal in the low buckets. Batching depth is the prerequisite figure for
any cross-transaction apply optimization and was previously unobservable;
read it as the share of samples in buckets >= 2, never as the mean.

The key exists nowhere else — no default, no parsing, no config field. It is
residue from a discarded cross-transaction apply experiment. Because the
superflag layer rejects keys absent from its defaults string, an operator
following this help text got a hard startup failure:
superflag: found invalid options: cross-txn-apply-workers=4
The full text is preserved in the plans archive should the experiment return.

The helper routes every test mutation through MutationPipeline, which,
like the legacy runMutation, refuses a SET edge whose predicate has no
schema. In production applyMutations creates the schema for any new
predicate before the mutation runs, so the check never fires there. Tests
that never declare a schema (TestReadUidsHonorsPostingListCache and
TestReadUidsWarmsCachedPostingList since dgraph-io#9809) therefore failed only
under the pipeline helper.
Mirror applyMutations in the helper: when the predicate has no schema
entry, install a minimal one inferred from the edge (uid edge -> [uid],
otherwise the edge value type, defaulting to string).
Record num_edges_total on the pipeline primary-write path.
When IntraMutationMinEdges is positive and a batch reaches the threshold, worker/draft.go returns mp.Process(ctx, m.Edges) directly. The pipeline's primary data writes do not increment x.NumEdges. The legacy path records that metric in AddMutationWithIndex after the primary mutation succeeds. A batch that takes the pipeline path therefore leaves num_edges_total low. Dashboards that derive nquads/sec from this metric undercount those batches.
The correction belongs in the pipeline primary-write functions, writeDataUid and writeListDataUid in posting/index.go. Record only after the store or AddDeltaConcurrent call succeeds. Count each applied primary edge once. Do not add records to the secondary index or reverse-edge writes. Before adding the record, confirm the count matches the legacy placement. A single write call can apply several edges, so one M(1) per call would undercount. The retry and error flow of Process was not inspected, so confirm that a failed or retried attempt cannot add to the count after the record point.

Scope, stated plainly: Every execution change on this branch parallelizes work inside a single transaction's apply, within one iteration of the serial processApplyCh loop. The per-predicate pipeline (from #9467) and your entire optimization series (proportional budgets, parallel reverse/forward writes, conflict-key batching, map sizing) all fan out inside one mutation's pre-write and join before the loop moves on. The loop itself stays serial across entries; no two transactions ever execute concurrently anywhere on this branch. Today's two additions don't change that — txns_per_delta is observability (it measures cross-transaction batching but executes nothing differently), and the help-text deletion removed the description of a cross-transaction feature that never existed.
What
The complete per-predicate mutation pipeline, now targeting
main: the pipeline implementation revived from #9467, its correctness-fix series, and a measured intra-mutation parallelism series on top (+36.8% sustained ingest on a 32-core EC2 box, +17.6% on a production-replica predicate mix; re-validated 2026-08-08 after the main merge at +39.8% — 1.40× — over current main, table below).The legacy apply path processes all edges of a Raft proposal serially. The pipeline groups a mutation's edges by predicate and applies them in parallel — one runner per predicate, with this PR adding a proportional worker budget across predicates, per-CPU (
auto) sizing, and a parallel forward data-write inProcessListso[uid] @reversepredicates parallelize too (their forward write was serial and measured 1.00× before that change).Why the base changed
This PR previously targeted
harshil-goel/mutation-pipeline(#9467), but to help keep this branch and PR up to date with main, it's repointed to main. This also helps make benchmarking the two PRs easier.What's included

Known open item
On an
@lang-heavy workload the pipeline path emits fewer conflict keys than the legacy path (divergence measured at ~600 keys on a synthetic corpus). This is pre-existing pipeline behavior, not introduced by this series, and is documented as the highest-priority follow-up since the risk direction (lost update under SI) matters once the pipeline is the default. Flagging it here rather than leaving it for reviewers to find.Benchmarks (8-core dev box — a floor; the win scales with cores)

The empty-store numbers above leave one fair question: does the gain hold once Badger has a deep LSM tree and compaction competes with ingest? Measured directly:
Test scale: a 34 GB seeded store (≈1 billion distinct triples ingested via a bulk pass, plus the measured corpus resident so every benchmark write overwrites live keys), i4i.8xlarge (32 vCPU, NVMe), 64 writer threads,
commitNowingest. Every run restores the identical seed snapshot; runs are interleaved; compaction is continuously active during measurement (120–203 slow compactions per 30-minute window, levels 4→5 and 5→6). Verdict rendered against pre-registered acceptance criteria (8/9 pass; full protocol, per-run data and formal verdict archived).Stability under compaction, beyond the headline:
One follow-up this testing surfaced (will fix in this PR): the parallel apply path does not record
num_edges_total, so operators on the pipeline path lose the nquads/sec metric — the recording sites currently live only on the legacy path.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
