Description

This is the core the four preceding PRs were building towards: the job registry (#444), the dispatch queue (#449), the per-resource-group scheduling state (#462), and the inbound-poll result formatter (#466, #467). It lands the tick loop that drives them, which retires the last of the dead_code expectations those PRs left behind.

The core is a single-threaded, tick-based loop scheduling at two levels of round robin: the outer level interleaves resource groups, the inner level interleaves the active jobs within each group. It owns all of the state it decides with — job entries in a generational arena, per-group scheduling states in an append-only vector, and the dispatch queue registry — so nothing it holds across an await point is thread-bound and the loop's future is Send.

The core is not wired up: it does not implement SchedulerCore, the scheduler config has no variant selecting it, and DispatchQueueHandle is unchanged. Nothing reaches it and no behaviour changes. Wiring it up needs a dispatch-queue handle that can express the pinned-versus-general split, which is its own PR.

The tick

Five steps, in order. Steps 2 and 3 are skipped while a storage poll is still in flight; steps 4 and 5 always run, so the dispatch queues keep being refilled from already-buffered tasks while the core waits on storage.

  1. Collect the inbound poll's results and drain the reschedule queue. A storage session newer than the tracked one is applied here, and nothing later in the tick branches on it.
  2. Fold the results into the finalized job table, the dedup set, and the job registry. Finalizations are processed before regular tasks, so a regular task arriving in the same batch as its job's finalization is discarded rather than scheduled.
  3. Apply the per-group updates, creating a group's scheduling state on first use and activating every group the updates touch.
  4. Refill the dispatch queues under the admission policy. This is the scheduling decision, and the section below covers it.
  5. Retire the jobs that ran dry.

The admission policy is where the fairness comes from

A group may be admitted more work only while its own queue occupancy is below the buffer's current free space. That is the dynamic queue-length threshold of Choudhury & Hahne, and two properties of the implementation are what make it mean anything: free space is recomputed by decrement on every decision rather than once per tick, and admission is interleaved across groups one assignment at a time.

Both matter more than they look. Filling one group to its threshold before considering the next produces a staircase rather than an equilibrium — with a 256-slot buffer and five backlogged groups, batch-filling yields 64, 64, 64, 64, 0 and no free space, while quantum-1 rotation yields five groups at 42 with 41 free. Every threshold in the batch case was read correctly at the moment it was read; the outcome is still wrong, because a threshold is only meaningful when every group is measured against the same buffer state. Two of the tests assert on the resulting occupancies rather than on code paths, which is what makes them worth reading.

What this deliberately does not do

  • No impl SchedulerCore, no SchedulerConfig variant, no change to DispatchQueueHandle, and no change to the round-robin core. The module stays unreachable from configuration for one more PR.
  • The dispatch service that serves pinned and general execution managers, and the gRPC plumbing that lets an execution manager name its resource group, both land later. The dispatch queues' read side is still dead_code-gated for that reason.
  • SHARING_COEFFICIENT and DOWNGRADE_LIVES stay compile-time constants.

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

  • Ensure all workflows pass.
  • Add unit tests to assert the scheduler core's behavior, driving tick directly and draining the group queues by hand to exercise the real dispatch structures:
    • Rotation — the arm persists across ticks; dropping an exhausted group does not skip the group swap_remove moves into its slot.
    • Activation — a group that is exhausted but still holds assignments stays active.
    • Admission — one tick leaves every backlogged group at the dynamic threshold; no group is batch-filled while another waits; a newly active group is admitted against a backlogged incumbent; a lone group takes no more than half the buffer.
    • Polling — dispatch and retirement continue while a storage poll is in flight; each lane's fetch count is sized from the per-lane counters.
    • Sessions — a bump clears the dedup set and the finalized job table, zeroes every lane counter, and re-admits the tasks storage replays.
    • Finalization — a cleanup is scheduled after the same job committed; a repeated finalization is scheduled once; an expired entry leaves the table while a fresh one stays; an expired finalization re-admits the job's later tasks.
    • Failure — a closed dispatch queue and a closed broadcast queue each fail the tick; the loop stops when cancelled.
    • Rescheduling — an assignment returned by a lost execution manager is re-admitted.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added resource-group-aware round-robin scheduling for balanced task dispatch across active groups.
    • Added lane-aware buffering and polling to manage ready, commit-ready, and cleanup-ready work.
    • Added support for task rescheduling, cancellation, deduplication, expiration, and finalized-job cleanup.
    • Added session handling that safely resets scheduling state and permits replayed tasks to be admitted.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of closed dispatch queues and in-flight storage polls.
    • Adjusted polling limits dynamically based on lane capacity and queued work.

…duler core.

Ports the prototype's tick loop: collect the inbound poll's formatted results,
fold them into the job registry and the per-resource-group scheduling states,
refill the dispatch queues under the dynamic admission threshold, and retire the
jobs that ran dry. The core is not wired to `SchedulerCore` or the scheduler
config yet, so nothing selects it and no behaviour changes.
…hink about. Otherwise has been polished. Haven't looked into test cases yet.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ec704

The new scheduler core is not currently selectable in production, so this PR does not change live behavior. However, its current implementation can schedule duplicate finalizations and leaves assignment publication and session isolation dependent on follow-up recovery and consumer checks; merge should wait for these issues to be corrected or explicitly accepted.

Consider draining the reschedule queue on every tick.

drain_reschedule_queue runs only in the Ready arm. While a poll is in flight, assignments from a lost execution manager stay in the unbounded channel and are not readmitted, even though the tick still publishes and retires. A drain does not need the poll result; it only needs the current session.

Move the drain ahead of the match, and feed the entries through process_polling_results with empty lane results when no poll result is available.

Finalization deduplication depends on state that publication clears, and the covering test does not reach the duplicate. The dedup key (job_id, TaskId::from(kind)) leaves global_task_set when the assignment is published, so a re-delivered finalization is queued again; the test that names this behaviour completes before the duplicate entry is processed.

  • components/spider-scheduler/src/core_impl/resource_group_round_robin/implementation.rs#L352-L374: gate the finalization on state that survives publication, such as the finalized_jobs entry plus a per-kind record, instead of the still-buffered dedup key.
  • components/spider-scheduler/src/core_impl/resource_group_round_robin/tests.rs#L604-L611: replace the two bare ticks with a tick_until! on the commit-poll count, so the duplicate entry is processed before the assertion runs.
