Add 10-second timeout to BlockUntilDesiredCursorReached function to prevent indefinite blocking on read-your-own-commits

  • Implements a 10-second timeout in nodeCursorTracker.go using context.WithTimeout to prevent indefinite blocking
  • Refines error handling by using more specific error codes (codes.Aborted for node termination, codes.DeadlineExceeded for timeouts)
  • Adds error details to logging in service.go when BlockUntilDesiredCursorReached fails

📍Where to Start

Start with the BlockUntilDesiredCursorReached function in nodeCursorTracker.go which contains the core timeout and error handling changes.

Walkthrough

The updates focus on improving the robustness and clarity of the cursor tracking process in the payer API. The BlockUntilDesiredCursorReached method now creates a dedicated 10-second timeout context, distinguishing it from the parent context, and refines how cancellations and timeouts are handled by returning more specific gRPC error codes. Additionally, error logging in the blockchain publishing logic is enhanced to include the actual error encountered when a node is unreachable. No changes were made to the overall control flow or business logic.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
pkg/api/payer/nodeCursorTracker.go Introduced a 10-second timeout context in BlockUntilDesiredCursorReached, refined error handling for context cancellations, and renamed the context parameter for clarity.
pkg/api/payer/service.go Enhanced structured logging in publishToBlockchain to include the error variable when a node is unreachable.

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

52-54: Consider making the timeout duration configurable.

The 10-second timeout prevents indefinite blocking, which is good. However, hardcoding this value might be inflexible for different operational environments.

+const defaultCursorReachTimeout = 10 * time.Second
+
 func (ct *NodeCursorTracker) BlockUntilDesiredCursorReached(
 	parentCtx context.Context,
 	nodeId uint32,
 	desiredOriginatorId uint32,
 	desiredSequenceId uint64,
 ) error {
 	// TODO(mkysel) ideally we wouldn't create and tear down the stream for every request

-	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(parentCtx, 10*time.Second)
+	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(parentCtx, defaultCursorReachTimeout)
 	defer cancel()

45-45: Good rename from ctx to parentCtx.

This improves clarity by distinguishing between the parent context and the derived timeout context that will be created.


87-87: Appropriate error code change from Internal to Aborted.

This provides a more accurate error code when node termination occurs, improving error clarity.


88-95: Good addition of timeout handling with detailed error message.

The new timeout case appropriately returns a DeadlineExceeded error code with the elapsed wait time, which will help with debugging timeout issues.


101-101: Consistent error code update for node termination.

This matches the earlier error code change, maintaining consistency in error reporting for the same condition.

pkg/api/payer/service.go (1)

388-388: Improved error logging with actual error details.

Including the actual error in the log message is crucial for debugging and monitoring, particularly since you've updated the error reporting in BlockUntilDesiredCursorReached to be more specific about timeouts and cancellations.
