chore(function-autoscaler): remove obsolete Cassandra state - #1012
Conversation
Signed-off-by: Bora Oztekin <boztekin@nvidia.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe function autoscaler removes unused Cassandra prediction-history and running-function state. It retains recently invoked function storage, TTL refresh behavior, distributed locks, and related discovery and scaling flows. ChangesAutoscaler Cassandra state cleanup
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR removes obsolete Cassandra state while preserving active-function tracking and locking, but failed scaling requests may currently suppress retries, and the destructive table-drop migration requires strict sequencing after older autoscaler instances are gone. Merge should wait for the retry-state fix and explicit migration-ordering acceptance. Possibly related PRs

ACTIVE_FUNCTION_SET_NAMEmust not change.The string
"RecentlyInvokedFunctions"reproduces the name of the removedActiveFunctionTablevariant so the distributed lock keys stay identical across the deploy. That constraint is a cross-version coordination contract, not a naming preference.If someone changes the literal, two autoscaler versions running at the same time during a rolling deploy compute different lock names for the same bucket. Both versions then acquire their own lock and scale the same functions concurrently.

800-802: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winOne failed bucket read aborts the whole scaling cycle.
get_active_functions_with_token_rangeis called inside the loop overbucket_ranges, and its result propagates with?. A single transient Cassandra read failure on an early bucket returns frommake_scaling_requestsimmediately. Every later bucket is then skipped for that cycle, so the functions in those buckets are not scaled at all.This contradicts the failure handling used for the per-function tasks a few lines below.
drain_scaling_tasks(Line 1030) deliberately counts failures and keeps draining independent work, and the comment at Lines 1027-1029 states that intent.This behavior is not introduced by this change. The call site was only updated for the new signature. Consider aligning the bucket loop with the per-task policy: record the read failure, continue to the next bucket, and fold the error into the existing
first_task_errorreporting.Sketch of the change

Do not log and return the same error.
map_err logs the insert failure and then returns it. execute_chunked propagates it with ?, add_new_active_functions_batch propagates it again, and execute_function_actions in work/discovery.rs (Line 426) propagates it once more. The same failure is therefore recorded twice, and the returned error carries no context about which function failed once the log line is separated from it.
Attach the identifying context to the error instead of logging it here.

TL;DR
Reduce the Function Autoscaler's Cassandra footprint to three live responsibilities: recently invoked function membership, distributed locks, and healthy-node membership.
This removes 824 net lines, three unused tables, and unnecessary writes without changing scaling behavior or coordination.
Additional Details
Cassandra improvements:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTSNo consumers of the removed tables were found elsewhere in the repository.
