Apply every cache update in the database's own order - #54
Merged
Conversation
…do a newer write The cache has two writers and no shared ordering. Local writes apply immediately, and the change stream replays those same writes later and applied them with force = true, which skipped the only guard there was. So an event could be applied over state that was already newer than it. The visible case was a deleted document coming back. Create commits at cluster time T1 and caches; delete commits at T2 and removes; the INSERT event for the create is delivered afterwards still carrying T1, is applied, and the document is in the cache again until the delete's own event arrives and removes it a second time. Measured directly rather than argued: applying the exact call the INSERT handler makes, after a delete, put the document back. The case was not delete-specific. A local update to version 5 followed by delivery of the version 4 event left the cache at version 4 by the same route. Both writers now quote the same clock. A change event carries its cluster time and a session reports the cluster time of the write it performed, and those are values from one sequence, so they can be compared. Every application of state to the cache goes through applyIfNewer, which compares against the position the cache already holds for that key and records the new one atomically with the mutation, inside a single ConcurrentHashMap.compute so nothing can interleave between the two. Strictly newer rather than newer-or-equal, which also makes redelivery a no-op. A change stream that reconnects resumes from a token and can deliver an event it has already delivered; that used to be harmless only while no local write had happened in between. The position outlives the document. A key removed from the cache keeps its entry, because that entry is what a late event is compared against, and forgetting it immediately would let the event apply. The record is bounded at ten thousand removed keys, by which point no event for one can plausibly still be in flight. The force parameter is gone rather than left unused. It is exactly what made this possible, and with an ordering in place there is nothing legitimate left for it to do. The double removal in delete is gone too: it existed to narrow this window and the window is now closed by ordering rather than by timing. Reads populate content without claiming a position, through cacheContentOnlyInternal. A read reflects committed state so its content is safe to cache, but it carries no operation time here, and advancing the ordering with a guess would let a legitimate later event be refused. The preload is different and does have one: it applies at the operation time already captured before it begins, which is the same point the change stream starts from. Each write is now cached by the layer holding the session that performed it, so the operation time is available without a round trip. getCurrentOperationTime runs hello against admin and would have cost one per mutation. Delete and replace gained a session for this reason; neither needs a transaction, only a session, because a session reports an operation time for any operation. getCurrentOperationTime and ChangeStreamManager.start were typed Any? and are now OperationTime?, which is what makes them comparable rather than merely passable. TestCacheOrdering covers the five cases and was checked against a known-bad state rather than only in the passing direction: with the comparison disabled, four of the five fail, including the resurrection. The full suite is 297 tests green and detekt is clean. The test container image is overridable through DATAKACHE_TEST_MONGO_IMAGE, defaulting to the image CI uses. MongoDB refuses to start on Linux kernels 6.19 and newer, which is every current workstation, so without this the integration tests cannot be run locally at all.

Both raised in review and both real. The tombstone record inverted the lock order. Eviction ran inside removeEldestEntry, holding the synchronized map's monitor, and called appliedAt.remove, which takes a bin lock; meanwhile applyIfNewer held an appliedAt bin lock and touched the tombstone map. Hash-colliding keys could deadlock. The record is now a plain LinkedHashMap behind an explicit lock, the evicted key is collected under that lock, and it is forgotten from appliedAt after the lock is released. The tombstone bookkeeping also moved out of the applyIfNewer lambda, so the compute lambda no longer takes any other lock. A database read could overwrite state that already had a position. cacheContentOnlyInternal wrote straight into the map, so a slow read could land after a newer write and replace it while appliedAt still recorded the newer time, at which point the event that would have repaired the cache was refused as stale. That is the same defect this branch exists to fix, in the read path. Reads now populate only a key with no position yet, decided inside appliedAt.compute so the check and the write cannot be separated. Giving the read a position was considered and rejected: the time a read was performed at is later than the commit time of the data it returned, so recording it would over-claim and refuse a genuinely newer event. The caller still receives the document it read; only the cache side effect is skipped. Full suite green at 297 tests, detekt clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <[email protected]>
A local write and the change stream's echo of that same write carry the identical
operation time, because they are one write observed from two places. Whichever
reaches applyIfNewer first claims the position for both, and the other is then
refused as not strictly newer. That is correct only while the winner actually
applied the content. Under optimisticCaching the winner could skip its own write
on a version match and still advance the position, at which point neither side
applied the content and no later event could, because no later event exists.
optimisticCaching is therefore gated behind a new isReplayedEvent flag, passed
only where "same version" is trustworthy evidence of "same content":
UPDATE true. The transaction computes nextVersion = currentVersion + 1 and
applies it through copyHelper on every attempt including
retries, ungated by bypassValidation, so a version match really
does mean this exact update was already applied.
REPLACE false. replaceOne carries no such guarantee. PlayerDocCache.delete()
resets a document through a replace that intentionally keeps
the existing version, so a match says nothing about content.
INSERT false. On the ordinary path the key had no prior document and the flag
could never engage, so true buys nothing; on the one path where
it can engage it reopens the REPLACE case.
Local writes never pass it, whatever the operation type. They are authoritative
on their own content and have nothing to gain from a skip.
Tombstone membership now happens inside the same appliedAt.compute call as the
ordering decision, so a delete overtaken by a later recreate can no longer record
a stale tombstone after the fact. ConcurrentHashMap forbids updating another
mapping of the same map from a compute callback, so an eviction is captured and
applied once that call returns, conditionally on the value the evicted key held at
that moment, or a legitimate update landing in between would be destroyed instead
of the stale state.
operationTimeOrUnknown becomes operationTimeOrNull. No sentinel is safe: the
oldest possible time is silently refused by state that is actually stale, and the
newest silently wins over state that is genuinely newer, which does not repair
itself. Callers now skip the cache update and warn, and the change stream's own
event for that write applies it when it arrives.
That time is read through ClientSession.wrapped rather than off the Kotlin
session. The Kotlin driver declares getOperationTime() non-null over a driver core
field that starts null, so it compiles to an Intrinsics.checkNotNullExpressionValue
and throws on exactly the case this reports, failing a write that already
committed. The wrapped reactive session returns the platform type.
Deletes only uncache when something was deleted. A no-op delete otherwise spends a
tombstone slot and shortens the window that record protects, and a key MongoDB
never held cannot be in the cache to remove.
Six cache clears outside the ordered per-key path are unified into
clearCacheAndOrdering, which drains appliedAt and tombstones with cacheMap. A
collection drop emits no per-document delete events, so entries cleared there had
no other route to eviction.
TestCacheOrdering covers eleven cases, including both halves of the read path's
position guard. Checked against a known-bad state rather than only a passing one:
reverting the REPLACE line fails five runs out of five, and disabling the ordering
comparison fails four of the five original cases.

The redelivery test applied 50, then 51, then 50 again, so every assertion in it rested on the strictly-older half of "not strictly newer". Every other case in the class did the same, which left the equality half untested despite it being the load-bearing comparison in this change: a local write and its own change stream echo are one write observed twice and quote one identical operation time, so whichever arrives second is refused on equality alone. A redelivered event is the same shape, since a stream resuming from a token replays the event with the time it originally carried rather than an older one. The test now applies a conflicting document at the SAME time and asserts the existing content stands, then applies a genuinely newer one and asserts it is accepted, so the refusal cannot pass by the position simply being stuck. Checked against a known-bad state: weakening the comparison from `at <= current` to `at < current` fails this case and no other in the class, where before the change it would have failed none.

Eviction read the evicted key's position back out of appliedAt after tombstoneLock had already been released, and nothing held that key's own bin lock across the gap. A legitimate recreate of the evicted key landing in that window was captured as the stale value, and the conditional removal that follows then matched it and succeeded, deleting a live key's position: t0 Y deleted at T1, tombstoned, appliedAt[Y] = T1 t1 X deleted, tombstones overflow, tombstoneAdd evicts Y and returns Y t2 Y recreated at T4 on another thread: appliedAt[Y] = T4, cacheMap[Y] = doc t3 the eviction path reads appliedAt[Y], sees T4, captures (Y, T4) t4 appliedAt.remove(Y, T4) matches and removes the live position t5 a stale event for Y compares against null and is applied Which is the failure this branch exists to prevent, reintroduced through the bookkeeping added to prevent it. The KDoc claimed the value was captured "at the moment of eviction"; it was not, and a comment asserting a property is not the property. tombstones now holds the position rather than Unit, written under tombstoneLock in the same step that records the tombstone, and tombstoneAdd returns the evicted key together with the position it held when it was tombstoned. The conditional removal is unchanged and now compares against a value that cannot have moved. The limit is read as at least one, so the entry just added can never be the eldest and evict itself. No test covers this, and none can: the two orderings are indistinguishable without a second thread, and a test that has to win a nanosecond race is a flaky test rather than a regression test. What changed is that the value no longer comes from an unsynchronized read. Deletes converge the cache when the database matched no rows but the key is cached anyway. A read populates a key with no position, so that state is reachable, and leaving the document readable after delete() returned is the same surprise the ordering work removes, arrived at from the other side. A delete that matched nothing and was not cached still spends no tombstone slot. Also corrected, all found by review rather than by the compiler: - The REPLACE comment said PlayerDocCache.delete() "keeps the same version". It replaces with a freshly constructed document at a hardcoded version 0, which collides with the cached version only for a document never updated. The safety argument is unchanged, the example was overstated. - getCurrentOperationTime's KDoc still described the Any? signature and named a method it is not passed to. - ChangeEventHandler and ChangeStreamManager gained @ApiStatus.Internal. Both are unreachable from any public entry point, and this change alters their signatures, so the annotation should say so. - A dead "cache the document in memory" comment in replaceDocumentInternal, left behind when the caching moved into the database service. - A clause in clearCacheAndOrdering's KDoc recording what the old code used to do. Two tests, each checked against its own known-bad state: reverting the delete convergence fails the first and no other, and disabling eviction of appliedAt entries fails the second and no other. The second pins the documented bound rather than asserting it away: a key whose tombstone has been evicted has no position, so the next event for it is applied however old it is. 305 tests green, detekt clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <[email protected]>
…ticCaching still does readFromDatabase's cache behaviour changed on this branch and nothing asserted it through the method whose documentation makes the promise. The two existing cases call cacheContentOnlyInternal directly, so a consumer reading the KDoc had no test standing behind it. The new case goes through readFromDatabase: the caller receives what the database holds, and a key that already has a position keeps the newer state the read had no position to outrank. Reverting the read path to an unconditional write fails it, along with the internal case it mirrors. DocCacheConfig.optimisticCaching's own documentation described a scope the flag has not had since this branch narrowed it. It now applies to replayed UPDATE events only, never to local writes, never to REPLACE or INSERT, and not at all to reads. Somebody tuning it for throughput would have been reading about a different setting. The per-event debug lines in the change stream handlers said a document had been cached. With ordering in place an event can be refused, so they now name the event they handled and leave the outcome to the one line that knows it. That line deliberately ignores its caller's log flag, which is now stated where it happens: the handlers pass log = false so they can name the operation type themselves, and a refusal is the one outcome none of them can report, because this method returns nothing. The delete KDoc's new paragraph sat between @PARAM and @return, where Dokka would have rendered it inside the parameter description. The eviction bound test's name now says it is a bound, since the name is what a reader skimming the suite sees. 306 tests green, detekt clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <[email protected]>

…d past it Forgetting a key's position makes the next event for it apply unconditionally, however old that event is, so the bounded record of removed keys could reinstate stale content for a key it had just forgotten. Events reach the cache in commit order through a single buffered consumer, so ordinarily nothing older is still in flight and eviction is harmless. ChangeStreamEventProcessor breaks that: when its buffer saturates it applies an event immediately rather than dropping it, ahead of everything still queued. A key evicted between those two deliveries is left holding the older one, with no event left to repair it: t0 a delete for K is applied out of band, ahead of a queued update for K t1 ten thousand unrelated deletes evict K's entry from the record t2 the queued update is drained, finds no position, and is applied t3 the cache holds pre-delete content for K, permanently Eviction by count was the wrong shape. The boundary is how far the stream has applied in order, and everything still queued is newer than that, so an entry older than it has nothing in flight that could resurrect its key. That boundary is now recorded, advanced only by ordered events, and consulted before any entry is dropped. An out-of-band event does not advance it, which is the whole point: its own entry sits above the boundary and stays until the buffer drains past it. ChangeEventHandler's two document methods gained an outOfBand flag to carry the distinction, which ChangeStreamEventProcessor already had as isRecoveryMode and was discarding. The boundary is seeded at startup from the point the stream starts at, so the record can shed entries from the first delete rather than holding every one until an ordered event happens to arrive. A stopped or badly lagging stream never moves the boundary, so the record would otherwise hold every removed key for the life of the process. Past ten times its limit the oldest entry is dropped anyway and the breach is logged, once per transition and from outside the lock. Exhausting memory takes the process out, which is worse than the staleness the record prevents, but it should say so rather than going quiet. Three tests, each checked against its own known-bad state: removing the boundary gate fails only the case asserting a held entry, making the boundary unsatisfiable fails only the case asserting eviction still happens, and removing the ceiling fails only the case asserting memory stays bounded. 308 tests green, detekt clean.

…ck freezing at boot
The boundary said "everything still queued is newer than this". That is true of one
uninterrupted pass over the change stream and false the moment the stream
repositions backwards, which it does: ResumeTokenManager falls back to the
operation time captured when the cache started, so losing both resume tokens
replays history from there. Events older than the boundary are then delivered
after all, and an entry minted during that replay is dropped immediately against a
boundary the previous pass had advanced far past:
t0 key K created at T1 and deleted at T2, both applied, boundary reaches T_NOW
t1 ordinary churn forgets K's position, correctly, T2 being long past
t2 a transient error clears both resume tokens
t3 the stream resumes at the boot time and replays history
t4 K's replayed DELETE hits a saturated buffer and applies out of band; its
fresh entry is at T2, already far below T_NOW, so it is forgotten at once
t5 K's replayed INSERT drains, finds no position, and is applied
t6 the cache holds pre-delete content for K, with no event left to repair it
So the boundary now carries the connection it was established on, and an entry the
connection it was minted on. A reconnection increments that counter and clears the
boundary, and an entry is only safely forgotten against a boundary from its own
connection. Clearing alone would not do: the new connection re-establishes a
boundary within moments while entries from before it are still in the record, and
comparing those positions across a reposition is exactly the comparison that is
meaningless. Entries from an earlier connection remain evictable by the ceiling,
which is what bounds the cost of never comparing them again.
Only a RE-connection resets it. The first connection begins where start() asked it
to, so the position captured there is a boundary it genuinely holds, and seeding it
lets the record shed entries from the first delete rather than holding every one
until an ordered event happens to arrive. ChangeEventHandler.onConnected therefore
takes the distinction, which MongoChangeStreamManager already had in its state
transitions and was discarding.
Separately, and the reason a replay from boot was reachable at all: the
operation-time fallback was set once, at cache start, and never moved. On a
long-lived cache losing its tokens meant replaying every change since the process
booted, or, once the oplog no longer reached back that far, a resume that fails and
silently restarts from the current time with everything in between missed. It now
advances with the stream, from the ordered path only, so it never runs ahead of
what has been applied: resuming earlier than necessary is harmless because a
redelivered event is refused by this same ordering, while resuming later loses
events outright.
The ceiling warning no longer shares mutable state between threads. The eviction
carries whether the ceiling forced it, and the call that forced it reports it, once
per process, so a concurrent eviction cannot flip a flag underneath the one that
had something to say. The recovery message is gone with it; having gone degraded
once is the part worth knowing, and it was the only thing that needed the shared
state.
Six negative controls, each failing its own cases and no others: inverting the
out-of-band gate fails both wiring cases, removing the reconnect invalidation fails
both reconnection cases, dropping monotonicity fails three, dropping the epoch
equality fails exactly the cross-connection case, and freezing the resume fallback
again fails exactly the case that watches it advance.
Also, from review: a test claiming to force eviction had stopped doing so once
eviction became conditional, and claimed to guard a case that the conditional
removal makes unobservable. Its comment now says what it does and does not show.
314 tests green, detekt clean.

… observable A full event buffer applied the event immediately instead of queuing it, ahead of everything already waiting. The cache orders what it applies by the database's clock and treats commit order as a guarantee, so one event delivered out of order can leave a document permanently wrong with no later event to repair it. A dropped event is recoverable and an out-of-order event is not, which is the trade that fallback had backwards, and it is the common factor in every permanent corruption found on this branch: the resurrection across a reconnection, the entry evicted against a boundary from another pass, and a collection drop overtaking the mutations it should have followed. So a full buffer now suspends the producer. That only stops one coroutine pulling from the change stream cursor; MongoDB is pull based and holds the position, so the stream resumes where it left off. A consumer slow enough to outlast the oplog produces a resume error, which is handled, logged and retried, rather than silent divergence. handleBackpressure and handleEventLoss are gone with it, and processEventCore's recovery mode with them, since nothing bypasses the buffer any more. The handler still takes outOfBand and it is still passed explicitly, now always false. The parameter is not dead weight: the cache's ordering rests on the promise it carries, so reintroducing a bypass has to be a visible change at that call site rather than a silent one, and the cases covering it still hold. Which leaves buffer pressure as the thing to watch, so it is no longer invisible. Depth and its high-water mark are tracked explicitly, since a Channel exposes no size, and exported through DocCache.getChangeStreamQueueStats: capacity, depth, and the peak since the previous read, which reading resets. The peak is the part that matters. A gauge sampled every fifteen seconds misses the burst that fills a thousand-event buffer in under one, and a buffer quietly running near its limit is exactly the condition that used to be handled by reordering. ChangeStreamReceiver gains onChangeStreamBackpressure for the alarm itself. It carries a default body, unlike the rest of that interface, so adding it does not break anyone already implementing MetricsReceiver. Also fixes the reconnection signal this all depends on, which never fired. startChangeStreamWithRetry forces CONNECTING at the top of every attempt, so by the time a retried connection succeeds the state no longer says it was a retry, and the check written against it was unreachable. Two review passes found this independently. It is now asked of a ConnectionSequence instead, which is a pure derivation and therefore has unit tests that need no database, unlike the wiring it replaces. 318 tests green, detekt clean.

…ection Discarding the boundary whenever the stream reconnected was safe and close to useless. Reconnections are ordinary, and an entry tombstoned before one could never satisfy the same-connection check again however far the new connection's boundary advanced, so the only way it ever left the record was the ceiling. That is the unsafe last resort, and its warning would have fired in healthy operation while saying the stream was probably stopped or far behind. Only a reconnection that can read from an earlier point than the stream already reached matters. Resuming from a resume token starts immediately after the last event applied, so nothing older arrives and the boundary still holds; the fallback to a time, or to nothing, can go back. ResumeTokenManager now reports which of those it used, and the handler parameter is mayHaveRepositioned rather than reconnected, because reconnected had stopped describing what it meant. The queue depth was counted after the send succeeded, which lets the consumer dequeue and decrement first: the depth reads negative and the peak misses the burst it exists to record. It is counted before the event can be seen instead, and undone if the channel turns out to be closed. getQueueStats reads the depth once so the reported value and the peak's new baseline are the same instant. peakSinceLastRead resets when read, which quietly splits the peak between two pollers. Documenting that was not enough for a metrics API, so there is now a peakAllTime beside it that no reader can take away. Smaller, all from review: a manager started again in place no longer reports its first connection as a later one; the ceiling warning re-arms on a clear, so a cache restarted in one process can still report a degraded record; the backpressure hook says that it fires per event rather than per episode; and clearCacheAndOrdering's note now covers the drop and rename handlers, which is the case it skipped and the only one where nothing exists to correct a write that lands after the clear. Known gap, stated rather than hidden: the backpressure path has no direct test. It needs the buffer size to be reachable from a test and a consumer held still, and a test that has to win a scheduling race is worse than none. 319 tests green, detekt clean.

…kipping failed events The connection counter and the boundary were separate fields written by two coroutines, the ordered consumer and the producer's reconnection handling. Read the connection, let the producer reconnect, then write the boundary, and the boundary is published against a connection that has been abandoned. Entries minted on that connection match it and are forgotten against a boundary that no longer describes anything, which is the failure the connection tag exists to prevent. They are one immutable value now, updated with compare and set, so an advance racing an invalidation loses instead of resurrecting it. Resume state advanced past events that were never applied. processChangeEventSafely swallows a handler exception by design, so one bad event does not stop the stream for every other key, but the resume token and the operation-time fallback moved anyway. A later reconnection then resumed after the failed event and the mutation was never delivered again: a silent, permanent hole. It reports whether the event was applied, and the resume position only moves when it was. A later event that succeeds still moves the position past the failed one, which this does not solve, but moving it for an event known to have failed is a choice rather than a race. The all-time buffer peak was documented as never reset and was reset on every channel replacement, so a reconnection quietly lowered it. Since a reconnection is when a reader most wants that number to hold, it survives. None of the three has a test. The first is a concurrent interleaving, the second needs a handler made to fail, and the third needs a channel replaced mid-run. All three are reachable only through machinery a sequential test cannot drive, and a test that has to win a race is worse than none. 319 tests green, detekt clean.

org.bson.BsonTimestamp compareTo unsigned comparison MongoDB Java driver
💡 Result:
The org.bson.BsonTimestamp class in the MongoDB Java driver does not perform unsigned comparison in its compareTo method; it performs signed comparison [1]. In the Java driver implementation, the BSON timestamp consists of a 32-bit time component (seconds since epoch) and a 32-bit incrementing ordinal [1][2]. The compareTo(BsonTimestamp ts) method implements comparison logic that first compares the time components and then, if they are equal, compares the increment components [1]: public int compareTo(final BSONTimestamp ts) { if (getTime!= ts.getTime) { return getTime - ts.getTime; } else { return getInc - ts.getInc; } } Because these components are handled as standard Java int types, the comparison is signed [1]. While BSON timestamps are conceptually treated as 64-bit values (often represented as a time-seconds value followed by an ordinal) [2], the Java driver's compareTo implementation relies on the signed subtraction of these 32-bit integers [1]. This behavior differs from the underlying MongoDB server, which treats the BSON timestamp as a 64-bit value and ensures consistent comparison order across platforms, specifically by comparing the time_t value before the ordinal value [2]. If you are manually handling these values and require unsigned 64-bit behavior, you would need to convert them to long values (e.g., using bitwise operations to combine the two 32-bit values into a 64-bit long) and compare those using Long.compareUnsigned or similar logic [3].

MongoDB Java driver 5.11.0 org.bson.BsonTimestamp.java compareTo source
💡 Result:
In the MongoDB Java driver, org.bson.types.BSONTimestamp implements the Comparable interface [1][2]. The compareTo method performs a two-level comparison: it first compares the time (seconds since epoch) and, if the times are equal, it compares the increment (the ordinal for operations within a given second) [1]. The implementation of the compareTo method is as follows [1][3]: @Override public int compareTo(final BSONTimestamp ts) { if (getTime!= ts.getTime) { return getTime - ts.getTime; } else { return getInc - ts.getInc; } } It is important to note that the Java driver contains two different classes related to timestamps: org.bson.types.BSONTimestamp (a legacy class) and org.bson.BsonTimestamp (a newer class extending BsonValue) [4][2]. The source code for BSONTimestamp is maintained in the mongo-java-driver repository [1].

💡 Result:
In the MongoDB Java Driver version 5.11.0, the BSONTimestamp.java class implements the Comparable interface, and its compareTo method is defined to compare two BSONTimestamp objects based first on their time component, and then on their increment (inc) component [1]. The implementation of compareTo is as follows: @Override public int compareTo(final BSONTimestamp ts) { if (getTime!= ts.getTime) { return getTime - ts.getTime; } else { return getInc - ts.getInc; } } The method first compares the result of getTime (seconds since epoch). If the time values are not equal, the difference between them is returned [1]. If the time values are equal, it proceeds to compare the increment values using getInc and returns the difference between the two increments [1]. This logic ensures that timestamps are sorted chronologically by time, with the increment acting as a tie-breaker for operations occurring within the same second [1].

Mark effectiveStartTime as volatile
ChangeStreamEventProcessor updates effectiveStartTime, while configureChangeStream and MongoChangeStreamManager.getResumePosition() read it from other execution contexts. The plain var can expose a stale value. Add @Volatile, as used for lastStartResumedFromToken.
org.bson.BsonTimestamp.compareTo in driver 5.11.0 uses Long.compareUnsigned, so no ordering change is required.

Discard buffered events before invalidating a repositioned stream.
ChangeStreamEventProcessor.startEventProcessing can drain events from the existing channel after DocCacheImpl.onConnected increments the epoch. Those events can advance streamPosition under the new epoch. tombstoneAdd can then pass its epoch and boundary checks and evict a tombstone. applyIfNewer may subsequently lack the position needed to reject an older event from the repositioned stream, which can resurrect stale content. Tag events with their receive epoch or drain the channel before invalidation.

… order The connection was read at the moment an event was applied rather than at the moment it arrived. A reconnection bumps the connection on the producer while the consumer may still be draining events from the connection before it, so those leftover events published a boundary against a connection that had already been abandoned. Entries minted afterwards matched it, were forgotten, and a replayed event then applied over nothing. Found by two reviews independently. A reposition now travels through the same buffer the events do. FIFO puts it exactly between the last event of the old connection and the first of the new one, so everything before it advances the old boundary and everything after advances the new one, with no window in between. That is a property of the queue rather than of timing, which is what the previous version was relying on without saying so. It also simplified the signal. onConnected goes back to taking no argument and being purely informational, and onStreamRepositioned carries the meaning, which is a better split: the two facts are true at different moments and only one of them has an ordering requirement. No test distinguishes this from announcing it directly, and replacing the call with a direct one still compiles and still passes all 319. The difference needs a backlog draining at the instant of a reposition, which no sequential test can arrange. Recorded rather than papered over. Also from the same review: the buffer stats test waited a fixed second for events to drain, which is a guess about a loaded container. It waits for the resume position to advance instead, which is the actual condition, and polls that rather than the stats because every stats read resets the peak the test asserts on. A third finding, that BsonTimestamp compares signed and breaks the monotonic resume position, is not correct. org.bson.BsonTimestamp.compareTo compiles to Long.compareUnsigned. The cited sources describe org.bson.types.BSONTimestamp, which is the legacy class this does not use. 319 tests green, detekt clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <[email protected]>
… one The comment on handleReposition said a reposition is sent rather than offered because dropping one would leave the cache believing the new connection continues the old one's progress. The branch directly beneath it dropped one, and the consolation it offered, that a restart would report it, is not true either: start() resets the connection sequence, so the next connection is treated as a first connection and never reports a reposition at all. The asymmetry with events is real and the comment had it backwards. A dropped event is redelivered, because the resume token has not advanced past it. A reposition is synthetic, carries no token, and nothing regenerates it, so losing one makes the connection check vacuous for the life of the process and lets a replayed event apply over a forgotten position. With no buffer to put it in it now goes straight to the handler. That gives up the ordering the marker exists for, but only in the direction that costs nothing: taking effect too early leaves entries from before it forgettable only by the ceiling, which is conservative, while not taking effect at all is the bug. Reachable today only through clearJobsUnsafe, which is documented as leaving jobs running, so this is a corner rather than a mainstream race. It is still the kind of corner where a comment promising one thing and the code doing another is how the next reader is misled. Also: trySend fails on a closed channel as well as a full one, so the full-buffer warning and the backpressure metric fired for a channel that was closing, moments before the send threw.

The in-memory cache had two writers and nothing to order them by. Local writes applied immediately;
the change stream replayed those same writes later and applied them with
force = true, skipping theonly guard there was. An event could therefore be applied over state that was already newer than it.
Measured rather than argued: applying the exact call the INSERT handler makes, after a successful
delete, put the document back. It was never delete-specific either. A local update to version 5
followed by delivery of the version 4 event left the cache at version 4 by the same route.
One clock, one order
Both writers now quote the same clock. A change event carries its cluster time; a session reports the
cluster time of the write it performed. Those are values from one sequence, so they compare.
Every application goes through
applyIfNewer, which compares against the position the cache alreadyholds for that key and records the new one atomically with the mutation, inside a single
ConcurrentHashMap.compute.forceis deleted, not left unused, because it is exactly what made theoriginal bug possible.
Strictly newer, not newer-or-equal, which also makes redelivery a no-op. A local write and its own
change-stream echo are one write observed twice and quote one identical operation time, so whichever
arrives second must be refused rather than applied again.
The position outlives the document. A removed key keeps its entry, because that entry is what a
late event is compared against. Forgetting it is what the rest of this change is about.
Forgetting a position safely
The record of removed keys is bounded, and forgetting an entry makes the next event for that key
apply unconditionally however old it is. So an entry may only be dropped once no event older than it
can still be in flight, and the boundary for that is how far the stream has applied, in order.
That boundary means nothing across a reposition, so it carries the connection it was established on
and each entry the connection it was minted on. Only a reconnection that can read from an earlier
point invalidates it: resuming from a resume token starts immediately after the last event applied,
while the fallback to a time can go back. Treating every reconnection as a reposition would be safe
and would also make the boundary worthless, leaving the ceiling below as the normal path.
A stream that is stopped or far behind never advances the boundary, so past ten times its limit the
oldest entry is dropped anyway and the breach is logged. Exhausting memory takes the process out,
which is worse than the staleness the record prevents, but it should say so rather than go quiet.
Delivery is strictly ordered
A full event buffer used to apply the event immediately rather than queue it, ahead of everything
already waiting. That reordering is the common factor in every permanent corruption this branch
fixes, and it had the trade backwards: a dropped event is recoverable, an out-of-order event is not.
A full buffer now suspends the producer. That only stops one coroutine pulling from the change stream
cursor; MongoDB is pull based and holds the position. A consumer slow enough to outlast the oplog
produces a resume error, which is handled and retried, rather than silent divergence.
The reconnection signal all of this rests on was also permanently false.
startChangeStreamWithRetryforces the connecting state at the top of every attempt, so by the time a retried connection succeeded
the state no longer said it was a retry, and the check written against it was unreachable. It is asked
of a small
ConnectionSequencenow, which is a pure derivation and therefore has tests that need nodatabase, unlike the wiring it replaces.
The resume fallback no longer freezes at startup
The operation-time fallback was set once, when the cache started, and never moved. Losing both resume
tokens replayed every change since the process booted, or, once the oplog no longer reached that far,
failed and silently restarted from the current time with everything in between missed. It now
advances with the stream, from the ordered path only, so it never runs ahead of what was applied.
Behaviour a caller can see
No signature change reaches a supported public API; everything whose signature moved is
@ApiStatus.Internalor unreachable from a public entry point. Two observable behaviours do change,and neither is visible in a signature:
readFromDatabaseandreadAllFromDatabaseno longer refresh a key that already has aposition. They still return what they read. A read carries no position of its own, so writing its
content over a newer write would leave the cache stale with the repairing event refused. Code using
a database read as a manual cache resync will find it no longer does that.
GenericDocCache.delete()'s result is a sample rather than a claim. It reports whether the keywas cached when the call began, taken before the database delete instead of by an atomic remove, so
two callers racing a delete on one key can both be told it was found.
Observability
Falling behind used to be handled by reordering, which made it invisible. It is now visible instead:
cache.getChangeStreamQueueStats() // capacity, depth, peakSinceLastRead, peakAllTimepeakSinceLastReadresets as it is read, so consecutive polls describe consecutive intervals; a gaugesampled every fifteen seconds otherwise misses the burst that fills a thousand-event buffer in under
one.
peakAllTimenever resets, so more than one poller can use it.ChangeStreamReceiveralso gainsonChangeStreamBackpressure, with a default body so adding it breaks no existing implementer.Tests
TestCacheOrderingcovers twenty-two cases,TestConnectionSequencethree, and there is a buffer andresume-position case in
TestChangeStreamOperations. Every one was checked against a known-bad staterather than only in the passing direction. The controls, each failing its own cases and no others:

Known gaps

from
ConcurrentHashMap.computeand the lock ordering is one-directional by construction, but thatis an argument, not a measurement.
clearCacheAndOrderingis not linearizable against an in-flight write. Closing it needs ageneration counter; the drop and rename handlers are where it matters, and it is documented there.
One unrelated change
The test container image is overridable through
DATAKACHE_TEST_MONGO_IMAGE, defaulting to the imageCI uses. MongoDB refuses to start on Linux kernels 6.19 and newer
(SERVER-121912), which is every current workstation,
and the guard is still present in 8.3, so without an override the integration tests cannot be run
locally at all.
