Context

During secondary-index generation, SkGenerator calls Reset() after consuming each primary-key scan batch, but the request still holds cloned keys and shared payload references. These consumed results can keep the shared scan heap full. The next ExportForCkpt then returns zero rows before it can overwrite the old slots, so repeated resets can make no progress. The references also remain held during upload backpressure and retry sleeps.

Range DataSync additionally skips its existing release path on scan errors and empty output batches.

This PR ports only the scan-result release fix, tests, and ownership documentation onto upstream main. It does not include the downstream TiKV changes or index-build resource-limit configuration. Documentation context is adapted to retain upstream's current checkpoint behavior and index-build settings.

Behavior before and after

  • Before: consumed scan results can survive resets and waits, retaining scan-heap memory and preventing subsequent exports.
  • After: index generation releases a completed batch on its source CC shard after all encoders finish and before resetting, waiting for upload capacity, or sleeping before a retry. A completed-batch guard also covers early exits.
  • Range DataSync releases remaining references on scan errors and empty output batches, while retaining ordinary non-full buffers for reuse.
  • Reset() reconstructs indexed vector slots after release even when the heap was not full. It remains separate from releasing live results.

There are no data-format, wire-protocol, or configuration changes. Already-transferred flush payloads and checkpoint completion semantics are unchanged.

Implementation

  • Add LocalCcShards::ReleaseScanResultsAndWait to dispatch the existing incremental ReleaseDataSyncScanHeapCc to the source shard and wait for completion.
  • Use that helper in SkGenerator::ScanAndEncodeIndex and the range DataSync error, empty-batch, full-heap, and final-completion paths.
  • Restore constructed scan slots unconditionally in RangePartitionDataSyncScanCc::Reset(); capacity alone is insufficient for ExportForCkpt's indexed writes.
  • Add RangeScanMemory-Test, register it with CTest and a 90-second timeout, and update the ownership documentation.

Design decisions and alternatives

Release stays separate from reset so DataSync can reuse normal non-full buffers. Destruction runs on the source CC shard to keep allocator accounting current, using the existing batched release mechanism rather than freeing results from the consumer thread. The consumer must finish the scan and all result accesses, and keep the stack request alive until release completes.

Encoded SK entries, the resume key, and payloads already transferred to flush tasks retain independent ownership. Releasing scan references neither clears entries' being-checkpointed state nor substitutes for successful flush completion.

Test plan

  • git diff --cached --check.
  • clang-format 18.1.8 validation of all five changed C++ files.
  • Linux/amd64 GCC syntax checks for both changed implementation files (C++17) and RangeScanMemory-Test.cpp (C++20), using upstream-pinned brpc headers.
  • Update range-scan ownership and index-generation documentation.
  • Full linked upstream build and execution of RangeScanMemory-Test / CTest.

Risk assessment

Index generation adds one source-shard scheduling/wait cycle and slot reconstruction per batch. Throughput and tail latency under concurrency need validation.

Rollback plan

Revert this PR; no data or configuration migration is required.

Reviewer guide

Focus on ReleaseScanResultsAndWait's source-shard affinity and stack-request lifetime; the completed-batch guard and release-before-wait ordering in ScanAndEncodeIndex; and the Reset() slot-reconstruction postcondition. Check that no encoder retains a PK-batch alias and that resume keys and transferred flush data remain valid.

Follow-up work

Run the registered regression and full CTest suite with matching upstream dependencies. Validate complete index-build recovery, range progress, scan-heap usage, OOM retries, index correctness, and performance under sustained upload backpressure.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved range-scan memory cleanup across scan failures, retries, completion, and upload backpressure.
    • Ensured released scan batches can be safely reset and reused without losing checkpoint progress.
    • Improved secondary-index generation reliability when handling memory pressure and retryable errors.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for scan-result release, heap recovery, batch reuse, and checkpoint export behavior.
  • Documentation

    • Documented scan-result ownership, release behavior, retry handling, and batch lifecycle details.

Release PK scan results before index upload backpressure and retry sleeps,
and cover early exits with a completed-batch guard. Share source-shard
dispatch and completion waiting through ReleaseScanResultsAndWait, including
range DataSync empty-batch and scan-error cleanup.

Restore constructed scan slots after releasing non-full batches so the next
export can safely reuse the request. Add scan-heap regression coverage and
document result ownership and the release/reset ordering.

Upstream port of https://git.pingcap.net/pingkai/tx_service/pulls/14.
Adapt documentation context to upstream main without importing downstream
TiKV or index-build resource-limit changes.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change centralizes range scan result release, reconstructs released scan slots during reset, updates secondary-index batch cleanup, documents ownership rules, and adds tests for heap release and payload lifetime.

Changes

Range scan ownership and recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scan reset contract
tx_service/include/cc/cc_request.h, tx_service/include/cc/local_cc_shards.h
Reset() always reconstructs scan slots and clears the full-heap flag. LocalCcShards declares ReleaseScanResultsAndWait.
Source-shard release integration
tx_service/src/cc/local_cc_shards.cpp
The helper dispatches ReleaseDataSyncScanHeapCc and waits for completion. Scan error, retry, full-heap, and final-completion paths use the helper.
Index batch cleanup
tx_service/src/sk_generator.cpp, docs/07-durability-and-recovery.md, docs/08-range-and-bucket-management.md
SkGenerator releases completed batches before retries and upload backpressure, clears consumed-batch aliases, and documents ownership behavior.
Memory release validation
tx_service/tests/RangeScanMemory-Test.cpp, tx_service/tests/CMakeLists.txt
The new test checks reset reconstruction, source-shard release, archive cleanup, heap accounting, payload lifetime, and batch reuse.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

The added header dependency can increase build coupling and compilation work; it is safe to merge with owner follow-up.

Remove the redundant #include "cc_request.h" from local_cc_shards.h.

local_cc_shards.h uses CcRequestBase* and RangePartitionDataSyncScanCc& only as pointer/reference types. cc_shard.h already provides the required CcRequestBase declaration, and cc_map.h already forward-declares RangePartitionDataSyncScanCc. The full cc_request.h header therefore adds unnecessary parsing and compile-time coupling across all consumers of local_cc_shards.h.
