fix(documents): 8.1.4 delete only documents that still match in deleteDocuments by abnegate · Pull Request #1016 · utopia-php/database

abnegate · 2026-10-15T05:41:31Z

Summary

Database::deleteDocuments found each batch and then deleted it by sequence. If a document changed in between and stopped matching the filters, it was still deleted. If it was deleted by someone else, it was still reported. This shows up as flaky deletes under concurrency, for example Appwrite's presence cleanup.

Filtered batches are now deleted with the batch filters re-applied at delete time, through a new non-abstract Adapter::deleteDocumentsMatching(). Adapter::deleteDocuments() keeps its 8.1.3 signature, so custom adapters and subclasses that override it keep working, including Pool subclasses.
Inside a transaction: a short delete is checked against what is still stored. Contention is thrown and the batch is retried only if a matching document really survived. The adapter's count is a hint, so a custom adapter that returns a wrong count doesn't break filtered deletes.
Adapters without real transactions (standalone MongoDB, ignoreDuplicates): only the documents actually deleted are reported to onNext, the cache purge, the count and the event.
Float filters: the bulk delete binds float filters the same way find() does.
Later-batch Contention: the DocumentsDelete event is still sent for batches already committed.
Docs: CHANGELOG and UPGRADE explain retries inside manual outer transactions, including MongoDB's lack of savepoints.

Tests

Unit race tests use interleaved adapters on Memory, SQLite and standalone, covering:
- a retry that clears;
- contention in a later batch;
- an adapter without a transaction;
- float filters;
- an adapter that returns a wrong count;
- a Pool subclass that overrides deleteDocuments();
- MongoDB filter parity.
The fail-first runs against 8.1.3 / earlier heads are recorded in the commits.
e2e: a full Database::deleteDocuments float case and the adapter-level deleteDocumentsMatching case, on every adapter.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Bulk deletion now rechecks filters at deletion time, preserving documents that no longer match and ensuring only deleted documents are counted, reported to callbacks, and included in cache updates.
- Concurrent changes during a transaction can trigger a contention error so the batch can be retried safely; without a transaction, changed documents are kept while other matching documents are deleted.
- Floating-point filters now select the same documents during bulk deletion as during searches across supported databases.
Documentation
- Added 8.1.4 release and upgrade notes describing deletion behavior, transaction retries, and custom adapter requirements.

…h at delete time deleteDocuments() finds a batch and then deletes it by row id alone, so a document another write changes after the find, so that it no longer matches (a presence refreshed before the expired-presence cleanup deletes it), is deleted anyway, cascades to its children and is counted and handed to $onNext. These tests interleave such a write after the find, in a later batch, under a limit, before a cascade and right before the engine delete, on Memory and SQLite, and pin the adapter delete to the queries it is given. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…atch is deleted deleteDocuments() found each batch and then deleted it by internal id alone, outside the transaction that deleted it, so a document another write changed in between so that it no longer matched (a presence refreshed before the expired-presence cleanup deletes it) was still deleted, cascaded to its related documents, lost its permission rows, and was counted and handed to $onNext. A batch with filters now reads its documents again in the deleting transaction, by sequence plus the caller's selections and filters, so cascades, permission ids, the count, $onNext and the cache purges cover only those. The adapter delete takes the filters as find() was handed them (fetch() hands them back) and applies them in the delete itself: SQL compiles them through the same applyFilters() as count(), Mongo ands them into the delete filter, Memory and Redis re-check each row. A shortfall against the re-read set means a document changed between the re-read and the delete, after its cascades ran, so the batch throws Contention and is rolled back and retried rather than committing a partial cascade. Adapters also keep the permission rows of a row kept for no longer matching. A limit now counts the documents found rather than deleted, so a kept document is not replaced by one past the original window and the loop cannot run past the limit. Deletes without filters take the old path unchanged. Adapter::deleteDocuments() gains an optional $queries parameter; Pool forwards it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The fix changes which documents deleteDocuments() deletes under a race, and custom adapters overriding Adapter::deleteDocuments() must add the new $queries parameter or PHP refuses the override. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…uments PHPStan reads no type for an inline closure's array parameter, so the race tests' refresh moves into an invokable with a typed __invoke() that hands its first-class callable to the adapter's afterFind seam. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The filtered delete bound its floats exactly while find() binds them in fixed-point notation, so a filter such as greaterThan('score', 1e-20) found a row the delete then refused to delete, and every such batch failed with a contention no concurrent write caused. A bulk delete now binds floats as find() does. Without transactions, as on a standalone MongoDB server, a contention abandoned deletes and cascades already applied without reporting them. There, the documents still stored after the delete are left out of the count, onNext, the cache purges and the event, and the remaining batches still run. Adding a parameter to the abstract Adapter::deleteDocuments() broke every custom adapter in a patch release. It keeps its 8.1.3 signature; the new Adapter::deleteDocumentsMatching() scopes the filters around a call to deleteDocuments(), so an override of deleteDocuments() in a subclass of a bundled adapter still runs, and a custom adapter that ignores the filters deletes as before. Pool delegates it so the scope lands on the pooled adapter. A batch filtered only on the immutable $sequence is not read again, a contention in a later batch still reports the batches already deleted, and the in-savepoint retry under a manual outer transaction is documented, as MySQL and MariaDB reread the same snapshot there. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…d retries A float filter bound differently by the find and the delete failed every batch with a contention, and an engine without transactions threw one after deletes it could not undo; both now fail on the previous head and pass. The rest pin that a batch rolled back and retried reports its documents once, that a contention in a later batch still reports the batches deleted, that a delete without filters or filtered only on $sequence reads each batch once, and that a full deleteDocuments() with a float filter deletes what find() matched on every e2e adapter. The assertion that the interleaved write was rolled back is dropped: it holds only because the test runs that write on the deleting connection. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The adapter signature no longer changes, so custom adapters need no code change; the new deleteDocumentsMatching() is listed under Added and the deletionFilters() opt-in, the non-transactional behaviour and the retry advice for manual transactions are documented. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…t deletes Pool overrode deleteDocumentsMatching() and sent it straight to the pooled adapter, so Pool::deleteDocuments() and any subclass override of it never ran for a filtered batch. Pool now reads the filters scoped to it in deleteDocuments() and hands them to the pooled adapter's deleteDocumentsMatching() there. Any count other than the rows handed was taken as a race, so a custom adapter that ignores the filters and counts differently (none, or its permission rows too) failed every filtered delete with a contention and no concurrent write. The count is now a hint: a short count makes the batch read which documents are still stored, and only one still stored is a race; a higher count is ignored. The return contract is documented on Adapter::deleteDocuments(). The read of the documents still stored uses the delete permission, which the query cache never serves, so it cannot see a result cached before the purge. MongoDB maps internal keys once over the whole delete filter, as find() does. The docblock says a document another deleter removed is counted without a transaction, and that a MongoDB replica set has no savepoint to retry a batch in under a manual transaction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…inds A pool subclass wrapping deleteDocuments() ran zero times for a filtered batch, and an adapter reporting no rows or its permission rows too made the delete fail with a contention; both fail on the previous head. The float test now asserts what each engine finds, so the memory case is no longer vacuous, the e2e variant requires the document every engine finds, and the MongoDB delete is checked to name filter keys as find() does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ions Callers inside a manual transaction on a MongoDB replica set get no retry and keep a partial batch until they roll back, and custom adapters need to know their count is only a hint, so both are spelled out. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 Walkthrough

Bulk deletion now rechecks filtered batches before deletion. Adapters apply active deletion filters, and transactions report contention when matching documents remain. The change also adjusts SQL float bindings and adds regression tests and release documentation.

Changes: Filtered bulk deletion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Adapter-side filtered deletion `src/Database/Adapter.php`, `src/Database/Adapter/*`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `UPGRADE.md`	Adapters receive scoped deletion filters and apply them when deleting rows. SQL bulk-delete float bindings use find-style precision.
Batch rechecks and contention `src/Database/Trait/Documents.php`, `src/Database/Exception/Contention.php`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `UPGRADE.md`	Bulk deletion rechecks filtered batches and reports only deleted documents. If candidates remain during a transaction, the operation raises contention.
Deletion regression tests `tests/unit/Documents/*`, `tests/unit/MongoQueryFilterTest.php`, `tests/e2e/Adapter/Scopes/DocumentTests.php`	Tests cover concurrent updates, filtered deletion, counts, permissions, cascades, adapter overrides, and float filters.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0aaf7

Filtered bulk deletes on Redis can still remove a document that was changed by another client just before deletion, so the race this change is meant to fix remains on that adapter. The exception documentation also overstates rollback for manual MongoDB transactions. Either fix these before merging or accept them explicitly.

With ext-mongodb loaded, find() and the bulk delete each build their own UTCDateTime for a date filter, and assertSame() compares objects by identity, so equal filters failed in CI. Both filters are now compared with every object replaced by its class and value, which still fails on a different date or a different key. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Make the filter check and delete atomic.

If another client refreshes a document after the GET pipeline, this unconditional DEL still removes it. transaction() only invokes the callback; it does not protect the interval between GET and DEL. The returned count can therefore report a document that no longer matched at deletion time. Use a Redis-side conditional delete, or detect a changed payload and retry without deleting it.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Qualify the rollback statement.

If deleteDocuments() runs inside a manually started MongoDB transaction, Mongo::withTransaction() does not roll back the batch. The caller must roll back the outer transaction. State that exception here so a caller does not catch Contention and commit a partial batch.
