Add WITHCURSOR to FT.AGGREGATE and FT.SEARCH, and the FT.CURSOR command - #1394
allenss-amazon wants to merge 6 commits into
Conversation
A query run WITHCURSOR [COUNT n] [MAXIDLE ms] returns its first n rows and saves the rest in a cursor, which FT.CURSOR READ <index> <id> [COUNT n] pages through and FT.CURSOR DEL <index> <id> releases. - A global CursorTable (src/cursor.*) indexes cursors by id and by expiration. The cron callback destroys idle cursors; destruction runs on a utility thread. Ids are (31 bit counter << 32) | crc32(run_id). - A cursor takes ownership of the QueryCommand and is a snapshot of the query output. It is scoped to the database it was created in; as in Redis, FT.CURSOR accepts the name of any existing index, and a read fails once the cursor's own index has been dropped. - FT.SEARCH WITHCURSOR replies [total, [row...], id]; FT.AGGREGATE replies [[count, row...], id]; FT.CURSOR READ replies [[count, row...], id] for both. The FT.SEARCH serializers are unified into SearchCommand members. - New configs search.cursor-max-count and search.cursor-max-idle-ms, INFO field search_num_cursors, and FT._DEBUG SHOW_CURSORS. - Adds vmsdk::Crc32, an IEEE (zlib compatible) CRC-32.

Add admission control for result-bearing cursors. FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE insert cursors without a cursor-count or memory limit. cursor-max-count limits each batch, not CursorTable. Each cursor retains query results, and cursor-max-idle-ms accepts INT64_MAX, so idle expiration does not provide a practical bound.
Add bounded count or memory admission before emitting the response and before CursorTable::Insert. Return an error without sending a partial response when the limit is reached.

An authorized client can repeatedly create cursors for large search or aggregate results and leave them unread. This code stores each fully materialized cursor in the global table without a cursor-count or retained-memory budget; page COUNT limits only one response, while reads refresh the idle deadline. With the default effectively unbounded idle duration, accumulated snapshots can exhaust process memory and degrade or terminate the service. Enforce a global cursor-count or retained-memory budget before accepting another cursor.

- FT.CURSOR READ/DEL apply the key-prefix ACL check of the cursor's index, the same check FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE apply to the query. - The cursor table gains a third index, by (db, index name), so removing an index discards its cursors from the SchemaManager's single removal choke point (FT.DROPINDEX, FLUSHDB/FLUSHALL, replica full sync, RDB load, metadata drops). The per-db bucket is held by pointer, so SWAPDB moves an index's cursors with it in O(1). - An open cursor no longer counts as an in-flight query: the in-flight guard gains a terminated flag and a Terminate() method that the destructor also routes through, and cursor creation declares the operation terminated. - Cursor destruction obeys search-result-background-cleanup. - The partial results setting no longer affects a query that requests a cursor: a timeout hands back the rows gathered so far, and the aggregate pipeline still runs to completion over them. - FT.CURSOR READ without COUNT uses the COUNT of the WITHCURSOR clause that created the cursor, as Redis does, rather than always 1000. Tests: ACL rejection, the default COUNT, eager discard, SWAPDB, in-flight accounting, background cleanup, and a power-set content test over HASH/JSON x vector/non-vector x FT.AGGREGATE/FT.SEARCH/NOCONTENT x MULTI x timeout, standalone and cluster, comparing paged rows against the reply of the same query without WITHCURSOR.

RemoveIndexSchemaInternal erases cursors already registered in CursorTable. An in-flight FT.SEARCH or FT.AGGREGATE ... WITHCURSOR can still complete afterward and insert a cursor that retains the removed schema. If FT.CURSOR READ then finds another existing index, or a replacement schema, Cursor::IsSameIndex fails and the command returns The index was dropped while the cursor was idle.

before removal return “Cursor not found.”

Measured on redis:latest 8.10.1 over 3000 documents: a cursor keeps a read size that starts as the WITHCURSOR COUNT (1000 when that clause gave none), and a COUNT on FT.CURSOR READ replaces it for every later read that gives none of its own: WITHCURSOR COUNT 3 -> 3 rows; READ -> 3; READ COUNT 1 -> 1; READ -> 1 Signed-off-by: Allen Samuels <allenss@amazon.com> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01KVMH2WSMYEWkWMySK2zeH6

There was a problem hiding this comment.
After search.cursor-max-count is lowered, an existing cursor can retain a larger read count. A later FT.CURSOR READ without COUNT passes that stale value directly to ReplyRows, so the response can exceed the current configured maximum. Revalidate or clamp the stored count before reading.

Adds cursors to valkey-search:
FT.AGGREGATEandFT.SEARCHacceptWITHCURSOR, which returns the first rows of the result and saves the rest server-side, and the newFT.CURSOR READ/FT.CURSOR DELcommand pages through or releases them. The syntax and theFT.AGGREGATE/FT.CURSORreplies match Redis. The design is described indocs/design-notes/cursor.md.Summary
Syntax.
WITHCURSOR [COUNT <count>] [MAXIDLE <ms>]is accepted anywhere after the query string ofFT.AGGREGATE(before, between or after pipeline stages) andFT.SEARCH; if it is repeated the last one wins.COUNTdefaults to 1000 andMAXIDLEto 300000. Both must be at least 1 and at most a configurable maximum (search.cursor-max-count, default 100000;search.cursor-max-idle-ms, default unlimited); out of range values are an error.Replies.
FT.AGGREGATE ... WITHCURSORreturns[[count, row...], cursor_id], the normal aggregate reply plus a continue cursor.FT.SEARCH ... WITHCURSOR(a Valkey extension) returns[total_matches, [row...], cursor_id], where each row is an array holding the elements of one row of a non-cursor reply. The cursor pages through the rows the query would otherwise return (theLIMITwindow, or the first k KNN results).FT.CURSOR READ <index> <cursor_id> [COUNT <count>]returns[[count, row...], cursor_id]for both kinds of cursor.count = min(rows remaining, COUNT); WithoutCOUNTthe cursor's current read size is used, which starts as theCOUNTof theWITHCURSORclause that created it; aCOUNTon a read replaces that read size for later reads. Both match Redis, measured over 3000 documents.COUNTis bounded bysearch.cursor-max-count.FT.CURSOR DEL <index> <cursor_id>returns OK; it applies the same index and database checks asREAD, and a cursor whose index has been dropped can still be deleted.Cursor object. When rows remain after the first reply, the command's
QueryCommand(parameters, search results and, for aggregate, the outputRecordSet) is handed to aCursorobject. The cursor is therefore a snapshot of the query output: later changes to the data are not visible, unlike Redis, where a cursor that is not fully materialized evaluates rows at read time (seeknown_differences.md). The cursor does not keep its index alive. Cursor replies reuse the command's own reply code, which forFT.SEARCHis now a set ofSearchCommandmembers that work per row.Global cursor table.
CursorTableis indexed three ways: by id (hash map, O(1)), by destruction timestamp (std::multimap, O(log N), whose iterators stay valid across other inserts and erases), and by (database, index name). The third index lets index removal discard exactly that index's cursors from the SchemaManager's single removal choke point (FT.DROPINDEX,FLUSHDB/FLUSHALL, replica full sync, RDB load, coordinator metadata drops); a later read then repliesCursor not found. The per-database entry is held by pointer, soSWAPDBmoves an index's cursors along with it in O(1). A new slot in the cron callback destroys cursors whose idle time has expired; the table entry is removed in the cron task and the cursor object is destroyed on a utility thread. Cursors are also cleared at shutdown. The App INFO fieldsearch_num_cursorsreports the number of cursors, andFT._DEBUG SHOW_CURSORSlists each cursor's id and milliseconds until expiration.Cursor ids. A cursor id is an unsigned 64 bit integer: the upper half is a global 31 bit counter, incremented per cursor and wrapping at 2^31 (keeping ids positive as RESP integers); the lower half is the CRC-32 of the server's
run_id, computed once at module load (a newvmsdk::Crc32, zlib compatible). An id of 0, or one already in the table, is skipped.FT.CURSOR validation. Reading or deleting a cursor requires the same key-prefix permissions as querying its index, so a user who could not run the originating query cannot read or release the cursor either. The named index must exist in the connection's current database but, as in Redis, need not be the index the cursor was created on. The cursor must belong to the connection's current database (valkey-search indexes are per database; Redis only supports indexes in db 0). If the cursor's own index has been dropped, and possibly recreated,
READdestroys the cursor and repliesThe index was dropped while the cursor was idle, matching Redis;DELof such a cursor succeeds.READresets the cursor's idle timer. Error text matches Redis (Cursor not found, id: <id>,Cursor does not exist).OOM.
FT.AGGREGATEandFT.SEARCHare alreadydeny-oom, so a query requesting a cursor is rejected while OOM.FT.CURSORis not, so existing cursors can still be read and released.Timeouts and partial results. The partial results setting has no effect on a query that requests a cursor: a timed-out query hands back the rows it gathered rather than an error, and the
FT.AGGREGATEpipeline still runs to completion over them. An open cursor also no longer counts as an in-flight query (search_async_queries_in_flight), since its query is over and only its output is still held.Cluster mode. The query fans out as usual; the cursor lives on the node that ran it, and
FT.CURSORmust be sent to that node.Testing
