- **`CcStreamSender`** (`remote/cc_stream_sender.h`): per remote node keeps a *regular* stream and a *long-message* stream (for slow-to-deserialize payloads like `ScanSliceResponse`, so they don't head-of-line-block small messages). A dedicated `connect_thd_` (re)establishes streams (`Connect` RPC of `CcStreamService` then brpc stream accept); each stream carries a version number to serialize concurrent reconnects, plus the peer IP so an IP change forces reconnect (`UpdateStreamIP`). `SendMessageToNg` resolves the NG leader via `ng_leader_cache_` first.
- **Resend logic**: `SendMessageResult{sent, queued_for_retry, need_reconnect}`. Failed writes are queued per node (`resend_message_list_`, EAGAIN cases in `eagain_resend_*`) and re-driven by `resend_thd_`; a hard failure flags the stream for reconnect. Exception: `SendStandbyMessageToNode` is deliberately best-effort (no retry queue) because standby replication has its own sequence-based resend (see standby doc §4.4).
- **`CcStreamReceiver`** (`remote/cc_stream_receiver.h`): a `brpc::StreamInputHandler` that parses inbound messages from a pooled `msg_pool_` (zero-alloc steady state) and dispatches in `OnReceiveCcMsg`:
- **`CcStreamReceiver`** (`remote/cc_stream_receiver.h`): a `brpc::StreamInputHandler` that acquires reusable protobuf shells from `CcMessagePool`, parses inbound messages, and dispatches them in `OnReceiveCcMsg`. Every recycle clears the protobuf before publishing it back to the concurrent pool, so idle messages do not retain payload allocations that the next `ParseFrom` would discard anyway:
- **Requests** (Acquire/Read/Apply/ScanNext/PostWriteAll/...) are wrapped in pooled `Remote*` cc-request objects (`remote/remote_cc_request.h`, e.g. `RemoteAcquire : AcquireCc`) and enqueued to the proper CcShard — from a shard's point of view a remote request is indistinguishable from a local one (see 03-concurrency-control.md).
- **Responses** must find their transaction: the message carries `tx_number`, `txm_addr`, `handler_addr`, `command_id`, `tx_term`. The receiver first fences with `CheckLeaderTerm(tx_node_id, tx_term)` (tx node id is encoded in the tx number: `(tx_number >> 32) >> 10`), then dereferences `txm_addr`, takes the txm's **shared forward latch** (`AcquireSharedForwardLatch`), and re-validates `txm->TxNumber() == msg.tx_number && txm->CommandId() == msg.command_id` before touching the `CcHandlerResult` at `handler_addr` (`cc_stream_receiver.cpp:332-400`). The tx_number+command_id check makes stale/duplicate responses for a recycled txm harmless; the latch keeps the txm from being reused mid-update.
- Locking-protocol requests that block remotely send an **acknowledgement** (`is_ack=true` responses carry the remote cce lock address) so the sender can later probe blocked requests (`BlockedCcReqCheckRequest`).

Document the unbounded pool constraint.

Acquire() can allocate indefinitely, and Recycle() retains every accepted message. Document that this pool has no capacity limit or eviction policy, and state the expected lifetime and memory tradeoff.

As per coding guidelines, “Document non-obvious invariants and operational constraints, including ... hot-path tradeoffs.”

In `@tx_service/include/remote/cc_message_pool.h` around lines 33 - 38, Update the
class documentation for the thread-safe reuse pool near Acquire() and Recycle()
to state that the pool is unbounded, has no eviction policy, and may retain
every recycled message; document that callers should use it for the expected
lifetime and accept the memory-retention tradeoff for reduced allocation
overhead.

Protocol Buffers C++ Message::Clear allocated memory retained SpaceUsedLong documentation

💡 Result:

In Protocol Buffers C++, the Clear method is designed to clear all fields of a message and reset them to their default states, but it typically does not free the allocated memory [1][2]. Instead, Protobuf message objects are designed to retain allocated memory to improve performance through reuse [1]. When you clear a message, it holds onto the memory previously used for its fields, assuming that this memory will be needed again for future messages [1][2]. This behavior helps avoid frequent and expensive memory allocations and deallocations when processing sequences of messages with similar structures [1]. If your goal is to genuinely release the memory held by a Protobuf message, you should destroy the message object itself [3][2]. If you need to repeatedly clear a message while controlling memory usage, consider storing the message object in a smart pointer (e.g., std::unique_ptr) and resetting the pointer as needed [3]. Additionally, if you are using Arena allocation, keep in mind that memory is only released when the entire Arena object is destroyed [4][5]. Regarding SpaceUsedLong: - SpaceUsedLong computes an estimate of the total number of bytes currently used by the message in memory [6][7]. - It is implemented using reflection, making it significantly slower than ByteSizeLong (which measures the size of the serialized binary message) [6][7]. - Because it is an estimate, the precise value returned should not be depended upon, and internal details or debug build configurations can cause the returned size to change [6]. - You can use this method to monitor when a reused message object becomes too bloated—if it exceeds a certain threshold, you might choose to delete and recreate the object to reclaim memory [1]. top_results: [3][1][6][7][2]

Do not rely on Clear() to release pooled payload storage.

CcMessagePool::Recycle() clears each CcMessage and unconditionally enqueues it in the unbounded pool_. Protobuf Message::Clear() resets fields but retains allocated field storage. A message that handled a large payload can therefore retain its high-water allocation while it remains pooled. Discard oversized messages instead of pooling them, using a size threshold or bounded retention policy.

In `@tx_service/include/remote/cc_message_pool.h` at line 70, Update
CcMessagePool::Recycle() so messages with oversized retained payload storage are
discarded instead of unconditionally enqueued in pool_; do not rely on
CcMessage::Clear() to release allocations. Apply a size threshold or equivalent
bounded-retention check after clearing, while continuing to pool messages below
the retention limit.
