Leaving an initial review focused mostly on the c++ changes. Will take a look at the python code in another round.
I think we also need to replicate the changes in clp-s into clo so that clp-text can work with the new results cache schema.

I think there are a few more places in the codebase that still use log_event_ix that I've found -- in particular there are a few instances in clp-mcp-server/tests/server/test_utils.py, and usage in clo in core/src/clp/clo/constants.hpp + corresponding output handler code.

It looks like it's possible that a job has already terminated but the duration is null. For example, if the start time is not set but the job is canceled, duration will never be set, meaning that this query would never return that job:
Arguably, when the start time is not set, the collection might not be collected either. But for safety purposes, how about we add an
OR logic after the timestamp check to return any job that:
- is already in the terminated state (failed, succeeded, killed, or canceled)
- the creation time ( ) is smaller than the cutoff?

tbh I don't like how the current search scheduler sets the start time and the duration. The current behavior:
- Sets the start time using the scheduler's time.
- Computes the duration using the scheduler's time.
Instead, it's probably better to:
- Set the start time when the job starts, using the database's time.
- Set the end time when the job reaches a terminal state, using the database's time.
- When duration is needed, query the job and take the diff of
end_time - start_time.
In this way:
- The database is the single source of truth for the timestamp.
- The end time is always set when a job terminates.
I'm ok to stick with the current behavior for now, but we should plan this down the road of the query coordinator redesign.

As discussed offline, the proposal makes sense to me as long as we can ensure the timestamp is always generated on the server.

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is evaluated by mysqld on the server host. Let's use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
@coderabbitai Create an issue and assign it to me and @Bill-hbrhbr.
@sitaowang1998 In this PR, let's do what I suggested: we add an OR to assert terminated jobs that don't have duration set.

## Summary
Redesign query-job timestamp handling so MariaDB is the single source of truth for query start and termination times.
## Required changes
- Set the query-job start time when the query starts, using the MariaDB server time.
- Set an end time when the query reaches a terminal state.
- Ensure every terminated query has an end time, including failed, killed, and cancelled queries.
- Derive duration from `end_time - start_time` when duration is required.
- Update affected query scheduler and orchestration database schema code.
## Rationale
The current scheduler sets `start_time` and calculates `duration` from scheduler-host time. A terminated job can also have no duration when no start time was set. Database-generated timestamps avoid host-clock differences and provide a reliable termination time for result-retention cleanup.
## Affected areas
- Query scheduler timestamp updates.
- Orchestration database query-jobs schema and migrations.
- Consumers of `start_time` and `duration`, including search-result garbage collection.
## Acceptance criteria
- MariaDB generates query start and end timestamps.
- Every terminal query state records an end time.
- Duration, where needed, is derived from the stored start and end times.
- Result-retention logic can determine expiry for all terminal query jobs.

Part of my review comments for this round. Still need to check clp-s and clo changes with more details.
On the other hand, I think the Validation performed section for this PR is poorly written. This PR changes multiple components in the system, and as a reviewer I'd expect to see a compreshensive report on what's been tested and what behaviors were checked to be correct. For example, you should probably ask your coding agent to set up a mock environment to test the GC behavior. Please make sure you've done enough testing and report it in the PR description.

What is _id used for? It looks like we duplicate the archive ID and the log event index in both the flattened fields and the ID. Might need WebUI owners to take a look.

With the current implementation, we should probably stop supporting this method. This method is never enabled in the current clp-s anyways. Shall we just through an exception indicating this is not supported? @gibber9809
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think it's still used for some of the output handlers -- originally I think this interface was intended to reduce overhead by skipping retrieving some of this metadata + giving output handlers a direct interface for forwarding just the message to their output sink to save on bandwidth, but:
- Skipping retrieving the timestamp/archive ID/log event index for matching results shouldn't add any meaningful overhead anyway (though we should double-check this)
- If some output handlers want to not send all of this metadata over the network they can just implement it behind the other interface, so this interface just makes our code more complex for no gain
I'll write up a github issue for removing this interface.

Sorry, I didn't mean we should remove this method from the interface. I mean that for this particular output handler (result-cache writer), this method is not used, and the current implementation won't be meaningful. Shall we just throw an exception for this implementation instead?

@coderabbitai Can you create an issue to keep track of this for entirely removing this method from the interface?
@sitaowang1998 For this PR, let's throw an exception to guard it, making sure no one can actually use this method with the latest index scheme.

title="Remove the message-only OutputHandler::write interface"
body=$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
Remove the message-only `write(std::string_view)` method from the `OutputHandler` interface.
## Rationale
Output handlers can use the metadata-capable `write` method and ignore metadata that their output sink does not need. The message-only method adds interface complexity without a current performance benefit. For `ResultsCacheOutputHandler`, the message-only overload cannot create a valid result with the current compound result identifier.
## Affected areas
- `components/core/src/clp_s/search/OutputHandler.hpp`
- Output-handler implementations and call sites in `components/core/src/clp_s`
- Related output-handler implementations in the core components
- Unit tests for output handlers
## Required changes
1. Remove `OutputHandler::write(std::string_view)` from the interface.
2. Remove or update each overriding implementation and call site.
3. Use the metadata-capable `write` method where output handlers emit a matched result.
4. Update tests to use the supported interface.
## Acceptance criteria
- No output-handler interface declares the message-only `write(std::string_view)` overload.
- All output-handler implementations compile against the simplified interface.
- Tests cover the supported metadata-capable result-writing path.

@LinZhihao-723, I created #2520 to track removal of the message-only OutputHandler::write(std::string_view) interface.
I will track the requested change in this PR. ResultsCacheOutputHandler::write(std::string_view) should throw an exception so it cannot produce an invalid result with the compound _id scheme.
- Update
ResultsCacheOutputHandler::write(std::string_view)to reject calls with an explicit exception. - Update or add unit-test coverage for the rejected message-only write path.

this isn't quite what i expected from our offline discussion — i thought we were going to use upsert here. is there a reason we went with insert and special handling for duplicate-key errors instead?
with update_one filtered by the complete _id, upsert(true), and $setOnInsert for the remaining fields, retrying an existing event would be a no-op. MongoDB's official documentation says:
If the update operation does not result in an insert,
$setOnInsertdoes nothing.
the equivalent operation is:
collection.updateOne(
{ _id: eventId },
{ $setOnInsert: resultFields }, // excludes _id
{ upsert: true }
)we can batch these with the C++ driver's bulk-write API. this should avoid treating already-stored results as duplicate-insert errors on retries. we'd still need to propagate actual write failures.
that said, i wouldn't assume either approach is faster without comparing them; the current benchmark doesn't test upserts. unless there's another reason to keep inserts, can we use bulk upserts with $setOnInsert for both clp-s and clo as discussed?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I will benchmark and compare before we proceed.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
After further investigation, I think we should stick to insert instead of switching to upsert for the following reasons:
- The happy-path performance is bad in the benchmark results:
upserthas to perform an indexed match for every document. We've done the same benchmark as the one in PR description forinsertvs.upsertand it confirms this overhead as shown in the table:N INSERT wall (s) UPSERT wall (s) Δ wall INSERT e2e mean (s) UPSERT e2e mean (s) Δ e2e per-rep ranges 1 16.5227 22.0372 +33.4% 0.1291 0.1721 +33.4% disjoint 2 8.2495 12.5577 +52.2% 0.1289 0.1962 +52.2% disjoint 4 4.2669 7.8855 +84.8% 0.1333 0.2430 +82.3% disjoint 8 2.4910 6.6335 +166.3% 0.1550 0.4079 +163.2% disjoint 16 1.7453 7.8710 +351.0% 0.2147 0.9603 +347.2% disjoint - Using
upsertwould not simplify the error-handling path:upsertdoes not eliminate duplicate-key errors under concurrency; if two operations both find no matching document, both attempt the insert, one succeeds, and the other fails with E11000. The same logic we've implemented so far would still be necessary even forupsert.
I think the conclusion is that we should stick to the current approach.
NOTE: The upsert benchmark uses bulk-write API to batch writes.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@sitaowang1998 did a similar micro-benchmark to test the performance of insert vs. upsert under different document duplication levels. This micro-benchmark doesn't involve any clp-s time, and it proves that using upsert would hurt performance in the happy path (where all documents create a new _id).
