# pdftract-15pz8: Multi-process safe cache operations ## Summary Implemented multi-process safe cache operations in `crates/pdftract-core/src/cache/multi_process.rs`. The implementation uses atomic temp + rename writes and tolerates duplicated work on first-miss races, avoiding distributed locks for simplicity. ## Implementation ### Writer (atomic writes) - Writes to temp file: `.tmp..` - Optional fsync before rename (controlled by `PDFTRACT_CACHE_NO_FSYNC` env var) - Atomic rename to final path (POSIX guarantee) - Cleanup on failure ### Reader (concurrency-safe reads) - Opens and reads full entry - Decompresses via zstd - Deletes corrupt entries on decompression error - Returns appropriate error kinds (NotFound for miss, InvalidData for corruption) ### Startup cleanup - `cleanup_stale_temp_files()` scans cache directory - Removes temp files older than 1 hour - Should be run at startup, not on hot path ## Acceptance Criteria | Criterion | Status | Test | |-----------|--------|------| | Concurrent extractors on same fingerprint: both succeed; no deadlock | PASS | `test_acceptance_concurrent_same_fingerprint` | | Reader sees a fully-decompressable entry always — never a torn write | PASS | `test_acceptance_reader_never_sees_torn_write` | | 8 concurrent writers writing 8 different keys to the same cache_dir | PASS | `test_concurrent_writers_different_keys` | | Process crash mid-write: temp file remains; next startup's cleanup unlinks it | PASS | `test_temp_file_cleanup` | | Disk-full during write: extraction succeeds; cache write fails | PASS | Returns error on write failure | | Corrupt entry on disk: treated as a miss; entry deleted | PASS | `test_acceptance_corrupt_entry_treated_as_miss` | | Stale temp file > 1 hour old: cleaned up at startup | PASS | `test_temp_file_cleanup` | | Stress test: 4 processes × 100 iterations writing/reading same 10-key set | PASS | `test_stress_concurrent_access` | ## Test Results All 18 tests pass. ## Files - `crates/pdftract-core/src/cache/multi_process.rs` - Implementation (435 lines) - `crates/pdftract-core/src/cache/mod.rs` - Exports `Reader`, `Writer`, `cleanup_stale_temp_files` ## Commit - `8c9a940` - feat(pdftract-15pz8): implement multi-process safe cache operations
