What this is

A stack, not a single change. This branch carries six memory changes that were
developed and gated together; the tip is the boxing change the title names. Squash-merging
the tip lands all of it, so the whole stack is listed here:

commit change
ce3aced1 an empty DashTable stops reserving 16 segments
2e859b39 + 8713b06b one allocation per heap string, embstr-style
dbcd317c 24-byte CompactEntry — whole-key TTL moves to the db's expires map
02ba56f2 + 84c5560c 61st segment slot out of tail padding; load threshold 54 -> 56
4825fe23 a one-node zset stops reserving four B+tree nodes
887bcbfd box RedisValue's fat variants, 128 B -> 40 B per container key

The boxing change

RedisValue was sized by its largest variant, so every container key paid 128 B of
enum footprint. Boxing the fat variants takes that to 40 B.

Measured on Linux — including a regression I am not hiding

GCE c3-standard-8, --shards 1, fresh server per row, 200k distinct keys, RSS =
VmRSS loaded minus idle, interleaved reps.

type before after verdict
list wins
zset +48 B/key regression

The zset regression is real and understood, not noise. SortedSetBPTree stays inline —
its tree and member map ride inside the single 128 B box for free, and any boxing splits
them out into a second allocation. Boxing the variant as one Box<Data> gives the
identical +48. Leaving SortedSetBPTree inline instead pins the enum back at 128 and
forfeits the entire change. The only escape is shrinking SortedSetBPTree itself by
removing the members: HashMap that stores every member a second time alongside the
B+tree leaf — a separate, larger project.

The trade was accepted deliberately: the change is a win on every other container type.

INFO memory cannot see any of this. CompactValue::estimate_memory delegates to
RedisValue::estimate_memory and never billed the enum box, so used_memory
under-counted by 128 B/key before and 40 B/key after. The saving is real RSS that moon's
own accounting is blind to — which is why it was validated with VmRSS rather than the
server's own numbers.

…b's expires map

`CompactEntry` carried `ttl_ms: u64` at offset 16, documented `0 = no expiry`.
That field was charged to EVERY SLOT of EVERY dashtable segment -- TOTAL_SLOTS
(60) of them per segment, occupied or not -- so a keyspace with no TTLs still
paid 8 B per slot, 480 B per segment, ~11 B per stored key for a field that was
zero everywhere. Redis never pays it: expiries live in a separate `db->expires`
dict and a key without a TTL has no entry in it.

moon now does the same. The absolute expiry (unix milliseconds, unchanged range
and fidelity) lives in `Database::expires: HashMap<CompactKey, u64>`, and
HAS_EXPIRY_BIT (bit 31 of the packed metadata word) says whether to look.

Measured layout facts, host-independent, pinned by
`segment_structural_cost_per_key_is_pinned`:

  size_of::<CompactEntry>()                     32 ->   24 B
  size_of::<Segment<CompactKey, CompactEntry>>  3456 -> 3008 B
  bytes/key at the organic fill (40.5 keys/seg)   85 ->   74 B

Segments are slab-allocated (contiguous Vec), so there is no per-segment
allocator rounding: the saving is the full 11.1 B/key, on every key, at every
value size.

Zero added work on the no-TTL read path. The bit test that replaces
`ttl_ms != 0` reads a word in the SAME cache line as the value and hashes
nothing; only a key whose bit is SET consults the map. That is strictly less
work than Redis, which does a `dictFind` on `db->expires` whenever that dict is
non-empty, for keys with and without a TTL alike.

The 24-bit `version` gave its top bit to HAS_EXPIRY_BIT: the WATCH/EXEC ABA
window is 8.4M intervening writes to one key instead of 16.7M, still four
orders of magnitude past the 256 it was before the field was widened.

Semantics are unchanged and proven so, not asserted:

- `Database::remove` now returns `(Entry, u64)` so the COMPILER names every
  command that MOVES a key rather than deleting it. It named five, and one of
  them was already broken by the change at that point: RENAME dropped the TTL
  (`test_rename_preserves_ttl` went red). RENAME, RENAMENX, MOVE (including its
  collision rollback), COPY and GETDEL now each state what they do with the
  deadline.
- `tests/ttl_semantics_after_entry_relocation.rs` (13 tests) drives the real
  handlers over EXPIRE/PEXPIRE/EXPIREAT/PEXPIREAT/TTL/PTTL/EXPIRETIME/
  PEXPIRETIME/PERSIST/SET EX|PX|EXAT|PXAT|KEEPTTL/GETEX, the in-place value
  edits (APPEND/SETRANGE/SETBIT/INCR/INCRBYFLOAT), the movers, and RDB
  round-trips in both formats. It pins MILLISECOND fidelity, not tolerance
  windows.
- `debug_expires_consistent` checks the bit<->map invariant in BOTH directions
  (a bit with no deadline is a TTL that never fires; a deadline with no bit is
  a key nothing ever checks), and `the_expires_oracle_can_actually_fail`
  mutates the state each way to prove the oracle is not vacuous.
- The COPY guard was mutation-tested: reverting `set_with_expiry` to `set`
  makes `move_and_copy_across_databases_carry_the_exact_deadline` fail.

No on-disk or wire format change. RDB, the shard snapshot and the KV spill page
all still write the same TTL field at the same offset; the deadline now travels
as an explicit argument beside the entry instead of inside it, which is also
what a detached snapshot (BGSAVE, AOF fold, COW pre-image, cold-tier
materialisation) needs -- those entries are not hot keys and have no row in
`expires` to read one back from.

5,136 lib tests + 13 new integration tests green; both runtimes compile with
--all-targets.

author: Tin Dang
clippy's type_complexity fired on the `Vec<(&str, Box<dyn Fn(&mut Database)>)>`
table that drives the in-place-edit TTL test. Declaring the alias inside the
function broke the second use site, so it lives at module scope beside `bulk`.

No behaviour change; `cargo clippy --all-targets` is now clean.

author: Tin Dang
`Segment` is `#[repr(C, align(64))]`, so its footprint is rounded up to a
multiple of 64 no matter how many slots it declares. With the 24-byte
`CompactEntry` the 60-slot layout measured 2960 B of content inside a 3008 B
allocation: 48 B of tail padding, which is exactly one more (key, value) pair.

Raising STASH_SLOTS 4 -> 5 spends that padding. Measured, 200k 16-byte keys:

  layout            segment  segments  keys/seg  B/key   non-home segs
  60 slots, LT 54     3008      4936     40.52   74.24       1.42%
  61 slots, LT 54     3008      4936     40.52   74.24       0.63%

Same bytes, same fill, same segment count -- and less than half the
non-home-key contamination, because overflow headroom grows from 6 spare
slots to 7. `has_non_home_keys` is sticky per segment and disables the
PERF-09 fallback skip for every subsequent lookup in that segment, so
halving it is a real lookup win, not just bookkeeping.

TOTAL_SLOTS stays <= CTRL_BYTES (64) -- asserted at compile time, since every
slot needs a control byte. Every other use of the slot count was already
parameterised; the 506 other storage tests passed unmodified on the new
layout, and only the pinned ledger tripwire fired, as designed.

Added `segment_wastes_no_tail_padding`, which computes the waste from
`offset_of!(values)` and fails if it ever reaches a full slot again. It was
written first and observed failing ("wastes 48 B ... enough for 1 more slot").

author: Tin Dang
Splits halve a segment, so the population mean fill is ~3/4 of the threshold.
Raising it packs more keys into the same 3008-byte segment. Measured over
200k 16-byte keys, the `redis-benchmark -r` shape:

  layout            segments  keys/seg  fill/LT  struct B/key  non-home segs
  60 slots, LT 54     4936      40.52    0.7503     74.24          1.42%
  61 slots, LT 54     4936      40.52    0.7503     74.24          0.63%
  61 slots, LT 56     4644      43.07    0.7690     69.85          1.10%
  61 slots, LT 57     4539      44.06    0.7730     68.27          1.48%

That measurement also confirms the 3/4 rule the per-key ledger has always
assumed: 0.7503 at 54, on the nose.

This is a trade, not a free win. Packing tighter pushes keys out of their home
groups, and `has_non_home_keys` is sticky per segment -- one overflow makes
every later lookup there pay the fallback scan. It is affordable only on top
of the free 61st slot, which keeps five spare slots of headroom: contamination
at (61, 56) is 1.10%, still *below* the 1.42% that ships today at (60, 54).

Cost, paired A/B over 25 interleaved rounds against (60, 54), same harness and
same build settings: about +2% median on a table-local hit and +4% on a miss,
with the candidate faster in 9 of 25 hit rounds. Small, near the resolution
limit of the harness, but not claimed to be zero. It is a lookup that happens
inside the DashTable only; end-to-end cost must be confirmed on Linux.

57 was measured and rejected: 1.58 B/key more, but worse on the hit path and
back to baseline contamination.

author: Tin Dang
`BPTree::new()` built its node arena with `Vec::new()` and then pushed the
root leaf. `Vec::push` on an empty vec does not allocate one slot — it jumps
straight to `RawVec::MIN_NON_ZERO_CAP`, which is 4 for any element of 1024
bytes or less. `size_of::<Node>()` is 784 (the enum is sized by its
`InternalNode` variant, `[Key; 16]` + `[NodeId; 17]` + `[u32; 17]`, and the
discriminant fits in that variant's trailing padding), so every sorted set —
including a one-member one — reserved 4 x 784 = 3,136 bytes, which jemalloc
rounds to its 3,584-byte class.

Measured on GCE (t2a ARM and c3 x86, redis 7.0.15 as control), moon's per-zset
cost decomposes as 3,360 bytes FIXED + 260 bytes per member against Redis's
87 + 32 (R2 = 0.995 over four cardinalities). This over-reservation is the
dominant term in that fixed cost. Seeding `Vec::with_capacity(1)` asks for the
one slot the root leaf actually needs; growth past one node still runs through
`grow_amortized`, which reapplies MIN_NON_ZERO_CAP, so trees that outgrow a
single leaf allocate exactly as before.

This does not make zsets competitive on memory. The remaining cost is the
`Node` enum being sized by its internal variant even for leaves, and the
`members: HashMap<Bytes, f64>` that stores every member a second time
alongside the B+tree leaf. Redis avoids both by encoding small zsets as a
listpack; moon has the `SortedSetListpack` variant but `new_sorted_set_listpack`
has zero call sites, so ZADD always builds the full structure. That is tracked
separately — it touches 58 call sites including GEO and vector search.

Tests: red/green. `new_tree_reserves_one_node_slot_not_four` fails on the
parent commit (left: 4, right: 1) and passes here;
`node_storage_grows_without_over_reserving` guards the split path and the
growth policy so the saving cannot be silently undone.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change moves whole-key expiration deadlines from CompactEntry into a Database expiry map. It boxes large RedisValue payloads, updates command and tiered-storage paths, preserves deadlines through AOF, RDB, snapshots, moves, copies, and spill recovery, and adds layout and TTL coverage.

Changes

Storage layout and value representation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compact value and storage layout
src/storage/entry.rs, src/storage/compact_value.rs, src/storage/bptree.rs, src/storage/dashtable/*, src/storage/value_codec.rs
Large collection payloads are boxed. CompactEntry drops its inline deadline and uses an expiry flag. BPTree initialization and segment layout assertions are updated.
Representation propagation
src/storage/db/*, src/storage/eviction.rs, src/storage/tiered/*, src/command/*
Constructors, conversions, spill paths, and tests use the boxed collection variants.

Database expiry handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Database expiry map
src/storage/db/mod.rs, src/storage/db/kv_ops.rs, src/storage/db/accessors.rs
Database stores absolute deadlines in expires. New accessors and write paths maintain the expiry flag, expiry map, and expiry index. Removal and promotion paths return or restore deadlines.
Command behavior
src/command/key.rs, src/command/string/*, src/command/keyspace/move_cmd.rs, src/command/dump_restore.rs
TTL reads use database accessors. String edits, RENAME, MOVE, COPY, RESTORE, and rollback paths preserve deadlines through set_with_expiry.

Persistence and tiered storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Snapshot and persistence formats
src/command/persistence.rs, src/persistence/aof/*, src/persistence/rdb.rs, src/persistence/redis_rdb.rs, src/persistence/snapshot*.rs, src/shard/*
Snapshot tuples and decoded entries carry absolute expiration timestamps separately from Entry. Loading restores retained entries with expiry metadata and skips expired entries.
Spill and eviction flow
src/storage/eviction.rs, src/storage/tiered/*, src/shard/persistence_tick.rs
Spill serialization receives explicit deadlines. Rehydration and failed-spill recovery restore both the entry and its deadline.

Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expiry and layout tests
src/storage/*, src/server/expiration.rs, src/command/*, benches/expiry_sweep.rs
Tests are migrated to the new APIs. Layout, expiry-map consistency, millisecond precision, spill behavior, and boxed value handling are covered.
End-to-end TTL semantics
tests/ttl_semantics_after_entry_relocation.rs
Integration tests cover TTL reads, arming and clearing, in-place edits, key relocation, collision rollback, RDB round trips, expired-key filtering, and empty expiry maps.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eab73

This PR relocates expiry metadata across command, recovery, persistence, and tiered-storage paths while changing container memory layout. Current code can make some restored keys persistent or delay expiration, and exact-deadline behavior differs between storage tiers; the required Windows/MSRV validation is also still pending. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

…iner key

`CompactValue::from_redis_value` stores every collection as a
`Box<RedisValue>`, so the block charged to a container key is
`size_of::<RedisValue>()` -- the width of the enum's *widest* variant -- no
matter which variant the key actually holds. One variant set that width:

    HashListpack / ListListpack / SetListpack      24
    String(Bytes) / List / SetIntset               32
    Hash / Set                                     48
    SortedSet { members, scores }                  72
    HashWithTtl { fields, ttls, min }             104
    SortedSetBPTree { tree, members }             128   <- sets the enum

A hash small enough to live in a listpack -- the common case -- was billed
the 128 bytes that a large B+tree zset needs. Boxing the five fat payloads
takes the enum to 40 B. Against jemalloc's 64-bit small classes (8, 16, 32,
48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, ...) that moves the allocation from the 128-byte
class to the 48-byte one: 80 B saved per container key, on hashes, lists,
sets, zsets and streams alike. Boxing `SortedSetBPTree` alone would have
bought only 16 B -- `HashWithTtl` (104) becomes the next ceiling -- so the
whole set is needed.

The boxes are on the *fields*, not on newtype wrappers around each struct
variant, so every existing `match` arm binds the same names and `Box<T>`
derefs to `T` at each use; only construction sites changed. It costs no extra
heap, because two boxes land in the same size classes one bigger box would:
SortedSet 48+32=80 against a single 72-byte box's 80, SortedSetBPTree
80+48=128 against 128, and HashWithTtl is strictly cheaper at 48+48=96
against a single 104-byte box's 112. The cost is one extra malloc when a
collection is promoted out of its listpack encoding -- a cold, once-per-key
event.

`String(Bytes)`, the three listpack variants and `SetIntset` deliberately
stay inline: strings are the hot path and the one dimension moon already wins
on, and the compact encodings are where small collections live.
`HashWithTtl::min_expiry_ms` stays inline too, so the "has any field
expired?" fast path still reads a plain u64 with no pointer chase.

Red/green: `test_redis_value_fits_48_byte_size_class` failed at 128 before
the change and passes at 40 after; `test_hot_variants_stay_inline` binds each
hot payload to its exact unboxed type, so boxing one would fail to COMPILE.
A `const` assertion pins the 48-byte ceiling at build time.

No unsafe added -- the tagged-pointer scheme in `compact_value.rs` is
untouched; only the size of the block it points at changed. No on-disk or
wire format changes: `RedisValue` is in-memory only, and the RDB, value-codec
and DEBUG DIGEST round-trip vectors are unchanged and green.

Structural only (struct sizes and size classes; host-independent). No RSS
number is claimed -- that must be measured on Linux.

## Rebase note (onto main @d1bcb5a6)

This branch previously carried its own heap-string rework. main took a different,
narrower one (#786: `HeapString` holds `Box<[u8]>`, 24 -> 16 B, wrapper retained),
so the branch's wrapper-less "embstr-style" commits were NOT replayed and main's
implementation stands. Consequences, all test-only:

- `heap_string_estimate_memory_bills_only_the_buffer` (asserted 64 B, "the 16-byte
  wrapper is gone") is dropped; main's
  `heap_string_estimate_memory_bills_the_real_wrapper` (80 B) is correct here.
- `heap_string_length_codec_round_trips_past_four_gib` is dropped: it exercises
  `encode_str_len`/`decode_str_len`/`MAX_HEAP_STR_LEN`, which exist only in the
  dropped scheme.
- `type_tag_lives_in_len_and_tag_not_in_the_pointer` is replaced by
  `boxed_fat_variants_keep_their_type_tags`, which keeps the boxing-relevant
  assertions (each fat variant reports its own heap tag and type name) and drops
  the `heap_ptr()` no-tag-bits assertion, whose helper belongs to the dropped
  scheme.
- `tests/compact_value_one_allocation.rs` is not resurrected; it tests the dropped
  scheme and main never had it.

No production code was changed by the rebase -- `887bcbfd` touches
`compact_value.rs` only inside `mod tests`; the boxing itself lives in `entry.rs`,
`db/mod.rs`, `db_kind.rs` and `value_codec.rs`, which replayed cleanly.

Rebased onto main (d1bcb5a6) — force-pushed 887bcbfdeab737de

This PR went CONFLICTING when #785 and #786 merged, because main took squashes of work this stack still carried as originals. The stack is now 6 commits on top of main and git merge-tree reports it clean.

What the rebase revealed

The branch and main had taken competing heap-string implementations:

Replaying the branch's version would have reverted main's, so its string commits were not replayed and main's implementation stands. That is a deliberate scoping decision, not an accident — the boxing change does not depend on either scheme.

What made this tractable: 887bcbfd touches compact_value.rs only inside mod tests. The actual boxing lives in entry.rs, db/mod.rs, db_kind.rs and value_codec.rs, all of which replayed cleanly. No production code was changed by the rebase. The 19 originally-reported conflicts collapsed to one test-only conflict.

Tests dropped or adapted (all test-only, all documented in the commit message)

test disposition
heap_string_estimate_memory_bills_only_the_buffer dropped — asserts 64 B ("the wrapper is gone"); main's 80 B assertion is correct here
heap_string_length_codec_round_trips_past_four_gib dropped — exercises encode_str_len/decode_str_len/MAX_HEAP_STR_LEN, which exist only in the dropped scheme
type_tag_lives_in_len_and_tag_not_in_the_pointer replaced by boxed_fat_variants_keep_their_type_tags — keeps the boxing-relevant assertions, drops the heap_ptr() no-tag-bits check whose helper belongs to the dropped scheme
tests/compact_value_one_allocation.rs not resurrected — tests the dropped scheme; main never had it

Gates on the rebased tree

fmt, clippy --all-targets -D warnings, clippy tokio, release lib suite — 4/4, 5,140 passed / 0 failed. Hosted CI re-dispatched.

Worth stating: my first resolution looked correct and failed to compile with 7 errors (main's HEAP_TAG_* are usize, not u32; heap_ptr does not exist on main). A clean-looking rebase is not a compile.

In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Line 31: Update the RedisValue allocation accounting in the changelog for
SortedSetBPTree to state the new 176-byte total versus the old 128-byte
allocation, reflecting a 48-byte regression rather than savings. Correct the
related allocation-count claims for variants with two boxed fields to count both
additional allocations, including the entries covering the referenced lines.

the surrounding meaning about strings as the hot path and staying inline.

In `@src/command/dump_restore.rs`:
- Line 180: Update the RESTORE deadline calculation around current_time_ms and
ttl to reject or otherwise prevent deadlines exceeding i64::MAX before they
reach persistence. Preserve valid TTL behavior and ensure src/persistence/rdb.rs
receives only representable signed-millisecond timestamps so snapshot/restart
retains the expiry.

- Around line 553-557: Update the HashWithTtl recovery branch that rebuilds
hash_index so it sets any_expiring = true whenever a non-empty ttls sidecar
contributes an expiry-index entry, preserving the expiry-cycle latch for
databases containing only hash-field TTLs.

boxed, taking the enum from **128 B to 40 B**. Against jemalloc's 64-bit
small classes (8, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, …) that moves the
allocation from the 128-byte class to the 48-byte one: **80 B saved per
container key**, on hashes, lists, sets, zsets and streams alike.

Correct the total RedisValue allocation accounting.

SortedSetBPTree does not save 80 B per key. The old representation used one 128-byte allocation. The new representation uses the 48-byte outer Box<RedisValue> plus 80-byte and 48-byte field boxes, for 176 B total. This is a 48 B regression. Variants with two boxed fields also add two allocations, not one. Update the savings and allocation-count claims before publishing the changelog.

Also applies to: 39-43

Keep RESTORE deadlines in the RDB timestamp range.

A relative TTL of i64::MAX makes this addition produce a deadline above i64::MAX. src/persistence/rdb.rs casts that deadline to i64, so it becomes negative and reload treats it as no expiry. A snapshot and restart can therefore turn this RESTORE key into a persistent key.

Reject the computed deadline when it exceeds the supported signed-millisecond range, or change the persistence format to preserve the full range.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the expiry-cycle latch set for hash-field TTLs.

recalculate_memory sets any_expiring only for whole-key deadlines. The later HashWithTtl branch rebuilds hash_index, but does not set this latch. After bulk restore or recovery, a database with only hash-field TTLs can have a valid hash expiry index while maybe_has_expiring_keys is false, so the expiry cycle skips the field reaper and expired fields remain visible.

Set any_expiring = true when a non-empty ttls sidecar contributes a hash expiry-index entry.

Linux measurement: hash and list reach near-parity with Redis

Measured on GCE moon-bench-x86 (8 vCPU, x86_64) against the binary built from
this branch at eab737de, guarded by a hard SHA check plus a source grep for
the boxed variant — an earlier run on this box silently built the wrong branch
because its origin is a local bundle, so the guard now exit 3s rather than
warning.

Fixture: 200,000 keys, 5 elements each, --shards 1, --appendonly no,
VmRSS loaded − idle, 3 interleaved reps. All 18 rows confirmed
listpack-encoded via a per-row pre-flight; DBSIZE asserted at 200,000 or
the row is voided rather than reported.

type moon main moon + this PR redis 7.4.2 main with this PR
hash 332.7 B/key 233.9 218.8 1.52× 1.07×
list 301.5 B/key 202.3 187.2 1.61× 1.08×

Boxing saves a flat ~99 B/key on both types — consistent with the enum
shrinking from 128 B to 40 B, with the remainder being jemalloc size-class
rounding on the boxed payload.

Spread across the 3 reps is ±0.3% (hash: 333.0/332.8/332.2, boxed:
234.1/233.7/233.8; list: 301.4/301.3/301.7, boxed: 202.7/202.0/202.3).

Caveats, stated rather than buried

  • This fixture puts main at 1.52×/1.61×. The 1.73×/1.91× figures reported
    earlier in the campaign came from a different workload; this closes the
    gap on this fixture and I am not claiming it closes that one.
  • The zset regression disclosed in the PR description is unchanged and still
    applies.
  • Both engines are listpack-encoded here, so this measures per-key overhead,
    not encoding choice.

Together with the ZADD listpack work, this leaves the memory board (vs 7.4.2):
string 0.96×, zset 1.58×, set 1.85×, and now hash 1.07× / list 1.08×.
