ChangesVector-only match-all search
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds match-all enumeration for vector-only indexes and new cross-shard request handling. A remote shard may fail to respond while the client waits indefinitely, and the new dispatch path does not follow the required cross-shard channel pattern. These bounded availability and integration risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

…denying it exists (#695) moon#693 made a bare `*` the match-all query and answered it from the INVERTED index, because that is where the document registry lives. Every index with a TEXT, TAG or NUMERIC field gained match-all, mixed VECTOR+TEXT schemas included. An index built from VECTOR fields alone has no inverted index at all, so `*` fell through to the text engine and answered `ERR no such index` — for an index FT._LIST lists. Before #693 the same call said `ERR invalid KNN query syntax`. Both were wrong, and neither told the user their index had no way to be enumerated. The vector engine has its own registry, `VectorIndex::key_hash_to_key`, and it is live: filled on index, pruned in the same function body as the segment tombstone, so the two cannot disagree. It is also the exact map KNN already resolves hits through, which bounds this honestly — a document match-all misses is one KNN would report as a synthetic `vec:<id>` rather than by name. The routing was the work, not the data. `is_text_query("*")` is true, so `*` reaches the text path at all four FT.SEARCH sites, and a bare `*` is also the leading token of a HYBRID or SPARSE query whose retriever clauses live in separate args and are invisible to the query string. The gate therefore rejects HYBRID/SPARSE itself rather than depending on where it is called from — it is consulted from sites on both sides of the HYBRID parse — and declines any index the text store knows, so mixed schemas keep the path they already use. Multi-shard fans the same enumeration out over the generic per-shard command channel and reuses the text merge, which already sums per-shard totals. Each shard is capped at offset+count rather than handed the caller's own LIMIT: shipping the caller's LIMIT would make every shard skip its own first `offset` and the coordinator skip `offset` again. With no LIMIT the clause is omitted, so `*` returns everything at any shard count. Verified at --shards 1 AND --shards 4. That is not ceremony: the first cut wired the multi-shard branch and missed the single-shard one, and it passed at 4 while still answering `ERR no such index` at 1. Returning nothing at one shard count would have been worse than the honest error it replaced. Also verified across a restart, where `*` agrees with KNN exactly, and against DEL, which un-enumerates. Proven non-vacuous by neutering the gate to `return None`: the e2e test fails at both shard counts on the `*` was refused` assertion. The seven lib tests cover the gate's refusals — non-`*` queries, HYBRID, SPARSE, wrong db, unknown index, and a text-backed index the text engine must keep. Coverage: scripts/test-consistency.sh (runs at 1/4/12 shards) and scripts/test-commands.sh, whose row for this went from asserting only "does not error" to asserting a real two-document enumeration by its keys. The vector blob there is 16 bytes of printable ASCII — a valid 4-dim FLOAT32 vector — because redis-cli cannot carry the NUL bytes of an ordinary float vector, and an empty enumeration would have passed whether or not anything was found. Found while testing, filed separately, NOT caused here (confirmed by A/B against the neutered gate): in a build without the text-index feature, an unknown index answers a successful empty listing at shards>1 while erroring at shards=1 (moon#728). The e2e test asserts the missing-index refusal only under text-index and names that issue. author: Tin Dang

Compare
The two end-to-end legs failed 6/6 on the Linux VM (the shipped monoio
runtime) while passing on macOS, with a bare
read: Os { code: 104, kind: ConnectionReset }
The cause is not the fix under test and not the runtime. The restart leg
SIGKILLs the server and immediately rebinds the SAME port. moon's
per-shard client listeners are SO_REUSEPORT, so the replacement server
binds successfully while the killed one is still tearing its sockets
down, and a client that connects inside that window is RESET rather than
refused. `tests/common::wait_for_port_down` exists for exactly this and
documents it; this suite simply never called it, unlike its sibling
`ft_list_both_stores_709`, which restarts the same way and passes.
Two changes, both in the test:
- Wait for the port to stop accepting between kill and respawn.
- Make `await_ready` fallible instead of routing its probe through
`Conn`, which panics on a read error. A readiness wait that dies on a
transient reset reports `ConnectionReset` and names neither the port
nor the phase, which is what made this cost a bisect to locate. Each
probe now carries its own read timeout, so a server that accepts but
never answers cannot park the wait past its deadline.
Verified on moon-dev (monoio, io_uring): 6/6 red before, 9/9 green after
across three consecutive runs. No product code is touched.

🌐 Web query:
Does bytes crate version 1.10.0 support Bytes::slice(..)?
💡 Result:
Yes, the bytes crate version 1.10.0 supports the Bytes::slice(..) method [1][2]. The slice method on the Bytes struct accepts any type that implements RangeBounds<usize> (such as 2..5, .., 1.., or ..3) to return a new Bytes handle that references a subset of the original memory [3][4][5]. This operation is O(1) and increments the reference count for the underlying memory [3][4]. Example usage: rust use bytes::Bytes; let a = Bytes::from(&b"hello world"[..]); let b = a.slice(2..5); assert_eq!(&b[..], b"llo"); Attempting to slice out of bounds will cause the method to panic [4][5].

Bound each remote reply wait.
After a target accepts the message, it can stall while retaining the reply sender. Line 2892 then waits forever, and the client never receives an FT.SEARCH response. Use recv_reply_bounded and return an error for both timeout and closed-channel cases.
Proposed change
- match rx.recv().await {
+ match recv_reply_bounded(rx).await {
Ok(frame) => {
if let Some(slot) = by_shard.get_mut(target) {
*slot = Some(frame);
}
}

return Frame::Error(Bytes::from_static(
- b"ERR FT.SEARCH: cross-shard reply channel closed during match-all",
+ b"ERR FT.SEARCH: cross-shard match-all reply timed out or channel closed",
));

Settle the index before the first enumeration assertion.
seed returns as soon as every HSET is acknowledged, but indexing is asynchronous. The other checks in this file account for that: line 483-497 polls after DEL, and line 520-530 polls DBSIZE after restart. scripts/test-consistency.sh also added a settle loop for the same FT.SEARCH vecidx "*" query. The assertion at line 387 has no retry, so a slow indexing pass reads as a moon#695 regression.
Wrap the first total check in the same bounded retry used at line 484.
