With multi-batch write enabled, external SST ingestion with allow_write=true waits for all pending writes before reserving sequence numbers. This unnecessarily blocks later writers.

Changes

  • Publish ingestion sequence reservations through the multi-batch commit queue.
  • Release the write queue after reservation so later writers can proceed.
  • Preserve sequence publication order with pending and failed writers.
  • Add regression test coverage.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved external file ingestion coordination with concurrent and multi-batch writes.
    • Ensured sequence numbers are published in the correct order before ingestion completes.
    • Improved handling when ingestion overlaps with pending, waiting, or failed writes.
    • Reduced unnecessary blocking while coordinating write operations.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for concurrent writers, sequence reservations, and ingestion wait behavior.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

External SST ingestion now coordinates sequence-number reservation and publication with the multi-batch commit queue. WriteThread separates queue-entry logic from mutex handling. Tests cover concurrent writers, sequence barriers, and failed-writer synchronization.

Changes

External ingestion sequence coordination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mutex-independent write queue entry
db/write_thread.cc, db/write_thread.h
WriteThread separates EnterUnbatched(Writer*) from the mutex-aware wrapper. The documentation defines the mutex requirements for both overloads.
Commit-queue sequence publication
db/db_impl/db_impl.cc, db/db_impl/db_impl.h
DBImpl reserves and publishes external ingestion sequence numbers through the commit queue when multi-batch writes are enabled. Other paths retain direct publication. Comments describe the expanded sequence barrier.
Sequence coordination tests
db/external_sst_file_test.cc
Tests cover concurrent writers, sequence reservation barriers, sequence advancement, stored values, and failed-writer release handling.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c6ead

The change affects write-queue ordering, while one nearby comment still describes the previous order; this is documentation-only, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

460-462: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Describe the enqueue-before-wait order.

EnterUnbatched(Writer*) calls LinkOne before AwaitState, so it registers w before waiting for the current leader. Update the comment to match this ordering.

Proposed documentation fix
-  // Waits for all preceding writers, then registers w as the currently
-  // proceeding writer. The db mutex must not be held.
+  // Registers w in the write queue. If another writer is ahead, waits until
+  // w becomes the leader. The db mutex must not be held.
