  • snapshot Arrow files across existing processing directories at startup
  • group files by event minute and output partition prefix
  • process conversion groups sequentially from oldest to newest
  • start periodic sync after snapshotting instead of waiting for recovery
  • leave recovered root Arrow files for periodic sync
  • prevent periodic sync from reusing startup-owned processing directories
  • remove all empty processing directories contributing to a completed group
  • retain the per-Parquet Arrow file limit to bound memory usage

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved startup synchronization so initial files are captured before periodic synchronization begins.
    • Prevented startup and periodic processing from overlapping or competing for the same files.
    • Ensured staged files are processed in consistent event-time order.
    • Continued processing successful file groups when another group fails.
    • Improved cleanup of empty processing directories and added warnings when startup synchronization does not complete as expected.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for continued processing after a conversion error.
    • Added coverage for startup isolation, processing order, reserved directories, and multi-directory cleanup.

…riodic sync

Walkthrough

Startup synchronization captures processing-file snapshots before periodic synchronization starts. Staging groups use deterministic ordering, sequential conversion, continued processing after errors, and cleanup across contributing directories.

Changes

Synchronization ordering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Startup snapshot preparation
src/parseable/streams.rs
Startup preparation recovers pending parts, flushes writers, snapshots processing directories, and creates executable startup plans.
Ordered staging conversion
src/parseable/streams.rs
Staging groups use event-minute ordering, sequential conversion, vector-based metrics, continued processing after group errors, and cleanup across multiple directories. Tests cover ordering, startup isolation, collision avoidance, cleanup, and recovery.
Synchronization coordination
src/sync.rs
Synchronization exposes sync_start_and_signal, signals after startup plans are prepared, and executes plans sequentially in blocking tasks.
Modal synchronization startup
src/handlers/http/modal/ingest_server.rs, src/handlers/http/modal/server.rs
Modal server entry points wait for the startup snapshot signal before starting periodic synchronization and warn when startup exits without signaling.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 14a50

Startup Arrow-file processing now snapshots and sequentially converts staged groups before periodic synchronization begins. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains identified.

Failed groups stay marked in place,
Later groups still finish the race.
Signals guide the syncs along,
And cleaned-up paths leave staging strong.

completes, report or return the accumulated failure while preserving successful
schema collection and existing Arrow-specific handling.

- Around line 1056-1062: Update the startup group conversion flow around the
non-Arrow error branch and StartupSyncPlan::execute to retain or return failed

or surface them instead of silently succeeding. Preserve processing of
subsequent groups, and update conversion_continues_after_group_error to verify
the failed group is retried or reported.
