Summary of Changes

This PR addresses several lifecycle, synchronization, and memory-tracking issues in VectorRegistry, ensuring robust multi-index vector sharing, proper database-level (dbnum) isolation, and clean handling of Valkey server events (FLUSHDB, FLUSHALL, SWAPDB).

Key Improvements

  1. VectorRegistry Lifecycle & Multi-Schema Tracking
    • Refactored VectorRegistry to track vector records per (key, attribute, db_num) and manage shared consumers across multiple index schemas.
    • Replaced redundant wrappers with direct deduplication and record tracking via DedupOrConstruct.
    • Corrected entry retention semantics: dropping an index schema (FT.DROPINDEX) does not purge database keys or registry entries that still exist in the keyspace.
  2. Server Event Handling & Multi-DB Isolation (FLUSHDB / SWAPDB)
    • Implemented VectorRegistry::OnFlushDB(const ValkeyModuleFlushInfo *flush_info) to handle per-database FLUSHDB and global FLUSHALL (dbnum == -1), ensuring flush operations on one database do not delete entries in other databases.
    • Implemented VectorRegistry::OnSwapDB(const ValkeyModuleSwapDbInfo *swap_info) to properly re-map dbnum associations for all tracked entries on database swap.
    • Wired OnFlushDBCallback and OnSwapDBCallback in src/server_events.cc.
  3. IndexSchema & Attribute Pipeline Cleanup
    • Streamlined attribute data handling (AttributeDataType, AttributeData, VectorBase) for consistent indexing and record mutation across HASH and JSON data types.
    • Ensured string normalization and raw vector tracking avoid unnecessary memory allocations.
  4. Testing & Verification
    • C++ Unit Tests (testing/vector_registry_test.cc):
      • Added FlushDBPreservesOtherDBEntries to verify dbnum isolation during FLUSHDB.
      • Added FlushDBAllClearsAllEntries to verify complete clearance during FLUSHALL.
      • Added SwapDBExchangesDBEntries to verify correct entry re-mapping on SWAPDB.
    • Integration Tests (integration/test_vector_registry_lifecycle.py & integration/test_vector_registry.py):
      • Added test_flushdb_preserves_other_database_entries for both HNSW and FLAT algorithms.
      • Fixed lifecycle tests to remove invalid post-FT.DROPINDEX assertions expecting entry_cnt == 0 when keys remain in the database.
      • Verified full test suite passes (100% passing across all 13 unit test suites and 101 integration tests).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces reference-count-based vector registry cleanup with explicit index ownership. It registers HASH and JSON vectors, preserves shared entries across index lifecycles, normalizes records during notifications and reloads, and adds extensive unit and integration lifecycle coverage.

Changes

Vector registry ownership

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registry ownership model
src/vector_registry.*
VectorRegistry tracks associated vector indexes by unique IndexId. Tracking and untracking remove individual index associations and detach records after the final index is removed.
Vector index lifecycle integration
src/indexes/vector_base.*, src/indexes/vector_flat.cc, src/indexes/vector_hnsw.cc, src/index_schema.cc
Vector indexes pass their own instances to registry operations. Record normalization occurs during notifications and reloads. Index destruction uses main-thread deleters.
Registry test coverage and test infrastructure
testing/common.h, testing/vector_registry_test.cc, testing/vector_registry_state_machine_test.cc, testing/index_schema_test.cc, vmsdk/src/testing_infra/module.h
Tests cover index-scoped ownership, JSON registration, database isolation, background-thread cleanup, deferred callbacks, invalid payload removal, and updated mock behavior.
Multi-index lifecycle and mutation validation
integration/test_vector_registry_lifecycle.py
Integration tests cover reloads, multi-index sharing, FLUSHDB, concurrent ingestion, payload changes, schema collisions, and compatible or incompatible vector mutations.

46-47: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

This assertion couples the test to global singleton state and test order.

VectorRegistry::Instance() is a process-wide singleton, so entry_cnt == 0 here requires every previously executed test to have fully drained its entries. HnswVectorIndexReferenceCountOnIngestionAndMutation at Lines 480-580 ends with entry_cnt == 1 and never calls UntrackByIndex; it relies on schema destruction, which dispatches removal through vmsdk::RunByMain. The assertion holds today only because LookupRecordHitsAndMisses is registered first. It breaks if a test is added above it or if the suite runs with --gtest_shuffle.

Reset the registry in the fixture SetUp, or drop this assertion and keep the per-test relative checks.

The test does not confirm that the rewritten payloads were ingested.

Lines 871-872 rewrite every vector, then Line 875 drops idx_a with no wait in between. Ingestion is asynchronous. wait_for_docs(idx_b, count) at Line 877 returns immediately, because num_docs already equals count from the first write loop. No assertion therefore observes the updated payload, and the docstring claim about payload modification is not exercised.

Wait for the rewrite to reach the registry before dropping idx_a, for example by polling get_record_hits or by querying with the new vector values.

Retention assertions run before deferred untracking can happen. BatchUntrackByIndex defers its work through vmsdk::RunByMain, so an equality assertion issued immediately after drop can pass before the dropped index releases any ownership. The assertions then do not prove that the surviving index keeps the entries. Wait for the dropped index to disappear from FT._LIST, or re-assert the count after the surviving index reports its documents, before checking retention.

Reuse LockFreeUntrackByIndex in the null-vector path.

The null-vector branch repeats the index-removal and erase logic of LockFreeUntrackByIndex, but it omits the DetachFromValkey(search_key) call. In the reachable cases the engine value has already changed, so DetachFromValkey returns early and behavior matches today. The two copies can still diverge later.

Extract the shared part so both paths use one implementation. LockFreeUntrackByIndex would need the last_untracked_ caching, or the caching can stay in Track around the shared call.

Assert that no module access occurs so the test proves the destructing behavior.

The current assertions also hold when the notification is dropped for an unrelated reason, for example a missing HashGet expectation. Add a Times(0) expectation on OpenKey to prove the schema returns before it reads the key.

♻️ Proposed change
   // Mark schema as destructing
   index_schema->MarkAsDestructing();
 
+  // The destructing schema must not open the key at all.
+  EXPECT_CALL(*kMockValkeyModule,
+              OpenKey(testing::_, key_valkey_str.get(), testing::_))
+      .Times(0);
+
   // Notification should be ignored immediately
   index_schema->OnKeyspaceNotification(&fake_ctx_, VALKEYMODULE_NOTIFY_HASH,
                                        "hset", key_valkey_str.get());

167-176: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Keep per-instance vector state in MockIndex.

VectorBase::LoadTrackedKeys stores records through GetVectorLockFree, and VectorBase::GetVectorDuringSearch reads them through the same reference. MockIndex returns a function-local static, so instances can share records and cause order-dependent tests. Return a mutable per-instance member from both methods.

  1. Can we split the changes to the benchmark flow into a separate PR?
  2. Need to update the FT.INFO command documentation to reflect the new fields.
  3. The default batch size for the ProcessPendingUnshares is a problem. Because the cost for this operation is variable on the vector size. Claude claims that the current value for 128-element FP32 vectors causes 167mSec during the timer call. This is too large. I'd recommend switching to a time-based processing of the unshares as this makes the batch size independent of vector size.
  4. In the testing. ExpectTracked is calling DedupOrConstruct. Which would guarantee that the output matches -- rendering the subsequent data compare test questionable. I'd recommend either a boolean parameter to disable the construct path OR a separate function that only looks up in the registry or fails.
  5. I'd like to see a counter of unshares and a global count of pending_unshares, this would enable testing to ensure these are actually getting processed in an integration test.
  6. OnUnload should still CHECK if there is a non-empty registry.
  7. Flushall testing needs to be enhanced to include multiple databases defined.
  8. I'd like to see # of ActiveAllocations exposed in INFO. Where the integration tests assert that the registry is empty, I'd like to see an additional check that the allocations are zero.
  9. I'd like to see # of chunks exposed in INFO. Operationally, this will give us insight into vector fragmentation.

Hi @yairgott 👋 — flagging this as a P1 launch blocker for valkey-search 1.3 RC1. We're cutting the release branch the morning of Sept 14 (RC1 lands Sept 15), so all P1s need to be merged before then.

First-pass reviewer: @chinguyen21 — if your first-pass review is already done, please ignore this message; otherwise, please prioritize getting this PR reviewed.

Second-pass reviewer: @allenss-amazon — please take a look/followup with the final review and merge once everything looks good.

If anything is blocking merge (open changes, CI, design questions), drop a note here so we can unblock quickly. Board: #1346. Thanks so much! 🙏

  1. Can we split the changes to the benchmark flow into a separate PR?

Done.

  1. Need to update the FT.INFO command documentation to reflect the new fields.

Done.

  1. The default batch size for the ProcessPendingUnshares is a problem. Because the cost for this operation is variable on the vector size. Claude claims that the current value for 128-element FP32 vectors causes 167mSec during the timer call. This is too large. I'd recommend switching to a time-based processing of the unshares as this makes the batch size independent of vector size.

Great call. I've completely retired options::GetVectorUnshareBatchSize() in favor of options::GetVectorUnshareTimeLimitMs() (defaulting to 10ms). The main thread now processes pending unshares continuously until the time budget is exhausted.

  1. In the testing. ExpectTracked is calling DedupOrConstruct. Which would guarantee that the output matches -- rendering the subsequent data compare test questionable. I'd recommend either a boolean parameter to disable the construct path OR a separate function that only looks up in the registry or fails.

Fixed. I removed the DedupOrConstruct call from ExpectTracked. It now strictly utilizes VectorRegistry::Instance().GetTrackedRecordForTest(...) which purely looks up the record in the registry and fails the test if it's absent, guaranteeing we never accidentally construct state during verification.

  1. I'd like to see a counter of unshares and a global count of pending_unshares, this would enable testing to ensure these are actually getting processed in an integration test.

Done. We added completed_unshares to the registry tracking and exposed all of this through FT._DEBUG VECTOR_SHARING_STATS. The newly added lifecycle integration tests explicitly poll these numbers to mathematically verify that the background unshare operations are fully executing and draining the pending queue successfully.

  1. OnUnload should still CHECK if there is a non-empty registry.

Done. I have placed CHECK_EQ(VectorRegistry::Instance().GetStats().entry_cnt, 0); alongside a check for 0 pending unshares directly inside ValkeySearch::OnUnload() to strictly enforce this invariant.

  1. Flushall testing needs to be enhanced to include multiple databases defined.

Added! test_multi_index_flushall_cleanup is now in the python test suite. It spans vector indexes across both db0 and db1, triggers FLUSHALL, and cleanly asserts that the registry's entry_cnt completely zeroes out alongside the databases.

  1. I'd like to see # of ActiveAllocations exposed in INFO. Where the integration tests assert that the registry is empty, I'd like to see an additional check that the allocations are zero.

Done.

  1. I'd like to see # of chunks exposed in INFO. Operationally, this will give us insight into vector fragmentation.

Done.
