Module chunk 

ColumnChunk: differential’s Chunk over ColumnBody updates.

A chunk is a sorted, consolidated run of (D, T, R) updates in the flat columnar layout, in one of two homes:

• Resident: an Rc-shared ColumnBody on the heap. Fresh input, merge output, and small tails live here.
• Spilled: the serialized body in the process Pool, with the record count and the first and last data items resident. The pool owns residency from there, with slots under a memory budget and compression and device pageout under pressure, and a body that dies before pressure reaches it is freed without I/O.

Reads of a spilled body are copy-out and scoped to the call that needs them, the contract that lets the pool evict with no reader accounting (see mz_ore::pool).

Spilling happens in Chunk::settle, the trait’s designated commit point: chunks moved to settled output are handed to the pool while the chunk type’s SpillGate is open. Grading is by serialized bytes, the ship size Column already targets, rather than by the record-count TARGET, since record count does not bound bytes for variable-width data.

Chunks whose data is a (key, val) pair additionally implement UnloadChunk, the bulk-read capability: sorted probe keys in, matching updates appended to caller-owned staging, with locate answered from the resident fence metadata so a probe set faults only the chunk bodies it actually touches.

Modules

metrics

Process-wide work counters for columnar chunk maintenance.

Structs

AccountedChunkMerger

The chunk merger of AccountedChunkBatcher: differential’s merger with a resident readied side, plus the Merger::allocation figures the mz_arrangement_batcher_*_raw introspection tables are assembled from.

ChunkChunker

A chunker for arrange_core over ColumnChunks: sorts and consolidates raw input columns through a ColumnChunker and wraps its output chunks.

Lz4Codec

The chunk-side ExtentCodec: a little-endian u32 body-length prefix followed by one lz4 block, the framing lz4_flex::block::compress_prepend_size produces. Every chunk consumer passes LZ4_CODEC at insert; the pool itself has no codec opinion.

SpilledBody

A spilled chunk body: the serialized column in the pool, plus the resident metadata every Chunk must answer without fetching. That metadata is the record count, the first and last data items (the fence entries UnloadChunk::locate consults), and the time bounds extract consults to pass frontier-disjoint chunks through without loading them.

UnchunkBuilder

A batch builder over ColumnChunk input that delegates to a builder over ColumnBody input, loading each chunk’s body as it is pushed.

Enums

ColumnChunk

A sorted, consolidated run of (D, T, R) updates, resident or spilled.

ComputeSpill

The gate of compute’s chunk batchers. See set_compute_spill_enabled.

StorageSpill

The gate of storage’s upsert chunk batchers. See set_storage_spill_enabled.

Statics

LZ4_CODEC

The Lz4Codec instance chunk consumers pass to Pool::insert_with.

Traits

ChainState

A builder whose batches carry state derived from a whole chain, computed before the chain’s first push.

SpillGate

Which process-wide gate decides whether a ColumnChunk spills.

Functions

set_compress_min_depth

Set the youngest generational depth whose spilled bodies are compressed.

set_compute_spill_enabled

Enable or disable spilling of ComputeSpill chunks. Already-spilled chunks are unaffected either way.

set_sink_spill_enabled

Enable or disable spilling of bodies offered through try_spill_ref, which is how compute’s MV sink correction buffer spills. Like the SpillGates, it takes effect only once apply_pool_config has installed the pool.

set_spill_override

Set or unset the pool through which this thread’s chunk spills are routed, taking precedence over the gates and the process pool. None restores the global resolution.

set_storage_spill_enabled

Enable or disable spilling of StorageSpill chunks. Already-spilled chunks are unaffected either way.

try_spill_ref

Spill a serialized copy of body into the process pool, leaving body untouched, or None when the body stays resident.

Type Aliases

AccountedChunkBatcher

The ChunkBatcher of a chunk chain, reporting resident bytes to the batcher size logger.
