…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").

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. author: Tin Dang

…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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
