Description

This PR removes duplicated entries in MongoDB by:

  • Using {archive_id, log_event_idx} as the MongoDB result document _id for clp-s.
  • Using {origin_file_id, log_event_idx} as the MongoDB result document _id for clo.
  • Preventing duplicate result documents when searches are retried and treating a query as success if all insertions either succeeds or fails with duplicate key error.
  • Removing redundant top-level archive_id/origin_file_id and log_event_idx fields.
  • Expiring results based on query completion time, calculated from MariaDB’s existing start_time and duration. When the start_time and duration are missing, removed any complete job in terminated state and creation_timestamp before expire cutoff.
  • Updating WebUI and MCP result parsing for the new _id structure. No backward compatibility support is provided. WebUI supports both clo and clp-s result, while MCP supports only clp-s result.

Note

This PR is a breaking change because the MongoDB schema changes.

Checklist

  • The PR satisfies the contribution guidelines.
  • This is a breaking change and that has been indicated in the PR title, OR this isn't a
    breaking change.
  • Necessary docs have been updated, OR no docs need to be updated.

Validation performed

  • GitHub workflows pass.
  • Repeated searches do not insert duplicate MongoDB documents for both clp-s and clp-o.
  • Runs end-to-end compression and search job on clp-s to confirm that:
    • Repeated search do not insert duplicate MongDB documents.
    • Result cache is deleted by garbage collection based on start_time + duration.
    • WebUI raw-results endpoint streamed expected log events.

I am unable to run end-to-end search with MCP server. After I ran search_by_kql, which created a query that was verified to complete successfully, the response was "Please call get_instructions() first", which I did before calling search_by_kql.

Performance evaluation

This is reported by @LinZhihao-723. The evaluation confirmed that the compound _id costs nothing measurable at any concurrency tested.

Measured 2025-09-03 (commit 3165049). Two stock builds replay 128 pre-built archives into a fresh MongoDB collection from a pool of exactly N OS threads: BASELINE = merge-base 2a5fbee5, server-assigned ObjectId, PR = the evaluated commit. Query level: "FATAL", --max-num-results 2500 --batch-size 1000, 320,000 documents per pass; 1 discarded warmup + 5 measured reps per (arm, N); no secondary unique index anywhere; MongoDB 8.0.21 standalone; i9-14900K / 32 threads / 47 GiB / WSL2. All measured cells held exactly 320,000 documents.

PR versus baseline

N BASELINE wall (s) PR wall (s) Δ wall BASELINE e2e mean (s) PR e2e mean (s) Δ e2e per-rep ranges
1 16.3142 16.3512 +0.2% 0.1280 0.1278 −0.2% overlap
2 8.1691 8.2075 +0.5% 0.1286 0.1284 −0.2% overlap
4 4.3009 4.2349 −1.5% 0.1337 0.1328 −0.7% overlap
8 2.4526 2.4679 +0.6% 0.1526 0.1532 +0.4% overlap
16 1.7886 1.8101 +1.2% 0.2181 0.2319 +6.3% overlap

The five measured walls per cell overlap in all five cells. The largest delta (−1.5% at N=4, in the PR's favour) is smaller than the spread of either arm's own five reps at that N, and the sign is not consistent across N. Scalability curves are identical (BASELINE 1.00/2.00/3.79/6.65/9.12×, PR 1.00/1.99/3.86/6.63/9.03×), with the same knee between N=8 and N=16: the ceiling is the shared MongoDB write path, not an _id effect.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved search-result handling across current and legacy result formats.
    • Corrected event-index mapping so result links and displayed messages open the intended log events.
    • Improved reliability when storing duplicate search results during retries.
    • Enhanced error handling and logging for failed result-storage operations.
  • Maintenance

    • Search-result cleanup now uses job completion times and retention settings to remove expired data more accurately.
    • Standardized search-result identifiers for more consistent display and navigation.

Walkthrough

Changes

The change updates search result identifiers from log_event_ix to log_event_idx, stores identifiers in nested _id documents, adds duplicate-tolerant MongoDB batch insertion, supports updated payload shapes, and bases garbage collection on MariaDB completion times.

Search result pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Nested result document contract
components/core/src/clp_s/archive_constants.hpp, components/core/src/clp_s/OutputHandlerImpl.*, components/core/src/clp/clo/constants.hpp, components/core/src/clp/clo/OutputHandler.*, components/core/src/clp*/CMakeLists.txt
Result documents now store archive_id and log_event_idx inside _id. Related constants, declarations, document construction, and build sources are updated.
Duplicate-tolerant result insertion
components/core/src/clp_s/MongoDBUtils.*, components/core/src/clp_s/OutputHandlerImpl.cpp, components/core/src/clp/clo/OutputHandler.cpp
Result batches use unordered MongoDB insertion. Duplicate-key-only failures are accepted. Other failures are logged and returned.
Result payload compatibility and consumers
components/clp-mcp-server/..., components/webui/packages/client/src/pages/SearchPage/SearchResults/SearchResultsTable/Native/SearchResultsVirtualTable/*
MCP and web clients normalize nested result identifiers and expose log_event_idx. Tests validate normalized fields and stream links.

Search result retention

Layer / File(s) Summary
Database-driven result cleanup
components/job-orchestration/job_orchestration/garbage_collector/*
The collector queries MariaDB for expired job IDs, processes IDs in batches, and deletes matching metadata and numeric MongoDB collections. The unused time-based expiry helper was removed.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 07405

This change deduplicates cached search results using compound IDs and updates clients for nested identifiers. The remaining risk is limited to test lint warnings that may prevent validation from passing; the schema and result parsing behavior otherwise have no supported active defect.

Leaving an initial review focused mostly on the c++ changes. Will take a look at the python code in another round.

I think we also need to replicate the changes in clp-s into clo so that clp-text can work with the new results cache schema.

I think there are a few more places in the codebase that still use log_event_ix that I've found -- in particular there are a few instances in clp-mcp-server/tests/server/test_utils.py, and usage in clo in core/src/clp/clo/constants.hpp + corresponding output handler code.

Just to make sure my own understanding is correct, this is what allows us to reliably insert all records in the batch even if some of them have duplicate key errors, right?

It looks like it's possible that a job has already terminated but the duration is null. For example, if the start time is not set but the job is canceled, duration will never be set, meaning that this query would never return that job:

.
Arguably, when the start time is not set, the collection might not be collected either. But for safety purposes, how about we add an OR logic after the timestamp check to return any job that:

tbh I don't like how the current search scheduler sets the start time and the duration. The current behavior:

  • Sets the start time using the scheduler's time.
  • Computes the duration using the scheduler's time.

Instead, it's probably better to:

  • Set the start time when the job starts, using the database's time.
  • Set the end time when the job reaches a terminal state, using the database's time.
  • When duration is needed, query the job and take the diff of end_time - start_time.

In this way:

  • The database is the single source of truth for the timestamp.
  • The end time is always set when a job terminates.

I'm ok to stick with the current behavior for now, but we should plan this down the road of the query coordinator redesign.

As discussed offline, the proposal makes sense to me as long as we can ensure the timestamp is always generated on the server.

## Summary
Redesign query-job timestamp handling so MariaDB is the single source of truth for query start and termination times.

## Required changes
- Set the query-job start time when the query starts, using the MariaDB server time.
- Set an end time when the query reaches a terminal state.
- Ensure every terminated query has an end time, including failed, killed, and cancelled queries.
- Derive duration from `end_time - start_time` when duration is required.
- Update affected query scheduler and orchestration database schema code.

## Rationale
The current scheduler sets `start_time` and calculates `duration` from scheduler-host time. A terminated job can also have no duration when no start time was set. Database-generated timestamps avoid host-clock differences and provide a reliable termination time for result-retention cleanup.

## Affected areas
- Query scheduler timestamp updates.
- Orchestration database query-jobs schema and migrations.
- Consumers of `start_time` and `duration`, including search-result garbage collection.

## Acceptance criteria
- MariaDB generates query start and end timestamps.
- Every terminal query state records an end time.
- Duration, where needed, is derived from the stored start and end times.
- Result-retention logic can determine expiry for all terminal query jobs.

@LinZhihao-723, I created and assigned #2516: Redesign query-job timestamps to use MariaDB server time.

The current PR uses CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3) and includes the requested fallback for terminal jobs where start_time or duration is NULL.

Part of my review comments for this round. Still need to check clp-s and clo changes with more details.
On the other hand, I think the Validation performed section for this PR is poorly written. This PR changes multiple components in the system, and as a reviewer I'd expect to see a compreshensive report on what's been tested and what behaviors were checked to be correct. For example, you should probably ask your coding agent to set up a mock environment to test the GC behavior. Please make sure you've done enough testing and report it in the PR description.

What is _id used for? It looks like we duplicate the archive ID and the log event index in both the flattened fields and the ID. Might need WebUI owners to take a look.
