P6.4 Mode B: Leader-Only Singleton Coordinator - Summary

Task

Implement plan §14.5 Mode B leader-only singleton coordinator for all Mode B operations.

Implementation Status: COMPLETE

The implementation was already complete in the codebase. This task verified that all components are properly integrated.

Components Verified

1. Leader Election Service (leader_election/mod.rs)

• Lease acquisition: CAS-based acquisition with scope-based keys
• Lease renewal: Periodic renewal (default: every 3s)
• Lease TTL: Default 10s expiration
• Metrics: Prometheus metrics emission (miroir_leader, miroir_leader_acquisitions_total, etc.)
• Multi-backend: Supports both SQLite (advisory locks) and Redis (SET NX EX)

2. Mode B Coordinator (mode_b_coordinator.rs)

• Generic ModeBOpLeader<E>: Combines leader election with phase state persistence
• Phase state persistence: Persists to mode_b_operations table after each phase boundary
• Recovery: New leaders resume from last committed phase
• Extra state serialization: Operation-specific data (reshard state, ILM state, etc.)

3. Lease Scopes (plan §14.6)

All Mode B operations use scoped leases:

• reshard:<index> - Per-index shard migration coordinator
• rebalance:<index> or rebalance - Rebalancer worker
• alias_flip:<name> - Alias flip serializer
• settings_broadcast:<index> - Two-phase settings broadcast
• ilm - ILM evaluator
• search_ui_key_rotation:<index> - Scoped-key rotation

4. Mode B Operations Using ModeBOpLeader

Reshard Coordinator (reshard.rs)

• ReshardCoordinator<E> with ModeBOpLeader<ReshardExtraState>
• Six-phase resharding: shadow, dual-write, backfill, verify, swap, cleanup
• Per-index lease scope: reshard:<index_uid>

Settings Broadcast (settings.rs)

• SettingsBroadcastCoordinator with ModeBOpLeader<SettingsBroadcastExtraState>
• Three-phase 2PC: propose, verify, commit
• Per-index lease scope: settings_broadcast:<index_uid>

Scoped Key Rotation (scoped_key_rotation.rs)

• ScopedKeyRotationCoordinator with ModeBOpLeader<ScopedKeyRotationExtraState>
• Per-index lease scope: search_ui_key_rotation:<index_uid>

ILM Evaluator (ilm.rs)

• IlmCoordinator with ModeBOpLeader<IlmExtraState>
• Global lease scope: ilm

Alias Flip (alias/mod.rs)

• AliasFlipCoordinator with ModeBOpLeader<AliasFlipExtraState>
• Per-name lease scope: alias_flip:<name>

5. Configuration (config.rs)

pub struct LeaderElectionConfig {
    pub enabled: bool,           // Default: true
    pub lease_ttl_s: u64,        // Default: 10
    pub renew_interval_s: u64,   // Default: 3
}

6. Integration (proxy/src/main.rs, proxy/src/routes/admin_endpoints.rs)

• Leader election service created in proxy main
• Metrics callback integrated with Prometheus
• Passed to admin endpoints for Mode B operations

Acceptance Tests (All Pass)

leader_election/acceptance_tests.rs

1. AC1: Three pods - exactly one leader at any instant
2. AC2: Leader failover promotes new leader within lease_ttl_s
3. AC3: Leader renewal prevents lease stealing
4. AC4: Reshard phase recovery after leader loss (resumes at phase 3, not phase 1)
5. AC5: Reshard multiple phases persisted correctly
6. AC6: Settings broadcast phase recovery after leader loss (resumes at verify, not propose)
7. AC7: Settings broadcast all phases persisted
8. AC8: Leader metrics sum is 1 across all pods
9. AC9: Leader metrics transient zero during failover
10. AC10: Multiple concurrent operations with different scopes
11. AC11: Expired lease allows new leader
12. AC12: Stale leader cannot renew expired lease

Test Results

• 21 leader election tests: All pass (12 acceptance + 9 unit)
• 6 mode_b_coordinator tests: All pass
• 32 reshard tests: All pass

Conclusion

The Mode B leader-only singleton coordinator (plan §14.5) is fully implemented and tested. All Mode B operations use the ModeBOpLeader<E> pattern for:

1. Acquiring scoped leader leases
2. Persisting phase state after each phase boundary
3. Resuming from the last committed phase on leader failover

The implementation ensures that exactly one pod runs each Mode B operation at a time, with automatic failover and phase recovery.
