-# Secondary Index File System (sidx) Design
-
-## Overview
-
-The Secondary Index File System (sidx) is a production-ready, high-performance file system abstraction inspired by BanyanDB's stream module that uses user-provided int64 keys as ordering values instead of timestamps. This enables efficient secondary indexing for various data types and use cases beyond time-series data.
-
-**Key Production Features:**
-- **Memory Management**: Comprehensive object pooling and memory optimization
-- **Thread Safety**: Atomic operations and reference counting for concurrent access
-- **Resource Management**: Disk space reservation and backpressure control
-- **Fault Tolerance**: Corruption detection, recovery procedures, and graceful degradation
-- **Operational Excellence**: Complete observability, metrics, and administrative APIs
-
-## Core Design Principle
-
-**The int64 ordering key is PROVIDED BY THE USER/CLIENT**, not generated or interpreted by sidx. The sidx system treats it as an opaque ordering value and only performs numerical comparisons for storage organization and query processing.
-
-### Key Characteristics
-
-- **User-Controlled**: Client decides what the int64 represents
-- **Opaque to sidx**: System doesn't interpret meaning, only orders by numerical value
-- **Monotonic Ordering**: sidx only cares about numerical comparison (`<`, `>`, `==`)
-- **No Semantic Validation**: sidx doesn't validate what the key represents
-- **No Key Generation**: sidx never creates or transforms keys
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Replacing Timestamp-Specific Logic
-
-#### Original Stream Module (Timestamp-based)
-```go
-// Stream knows these are timestamps and interprets them
-type partMetadata struct {
-    MinTimestamp int64  // System knows this is time
-    MaxTimestamp int64  // System knows this is time
-    // ... time-specific logic
-}
-
-// Stream might validate time ranges, format for display, etc.
-func (s *snapshot) getParts(minTime, maxTime int64) []*part {
-    // Time-aware filtering logic
-}
-```
-
-#### New sidx (User-Key-based)
-```go
-// sidx treats as opaque ordering values
-type partMetadata struct {
-    MinKey int64  // Just a number to sidx - no interpretation
-    MaxKey int64  // Just a number to sidx - no interpretation
-    // ... generic ordering logic
-}
-
-// Pure numerical comparison - no time semantics
-func (s *snapshot) getParts(minKey, maxKey int64) []*part {
-    // Generic key-range filtering
-}
-```
-
-### Core Components
-
-#### 1. Enhanced Part Structure with Reference Counting
-
-```go
-// partState represents the lifecycle state of a part
-type partState int32
-
-const (
-    partStateActive partState = iota
-    partStateRemoving
-    partStateRemoved
-)
-
-// partWrapper provides thread-safe reference counting for parts
-type partWrapper struct {
-    p         *part
-    refCount  int32     // Atomic reference counter
-    state     int32     // Atomic state (partState)
-    createdAt int64     // Creation timestamp for debugging
-    size      uint64    // Cached size for resource management
-}
-
-// Thread-safe reference counting methods
-func (pw *partWrapper) acquire() bool {
-    for {
-        refs := atomic.LoadInt32(&pw.refCount)
-        if refs <= 0 {
-            return false // Part being destroyed
-        }
-        if atomic.CompareAndSwapInt32(&pw.refCount, refs, refs+1) {
-            return true
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-func (pw *partWrapper) release() {
-    if atomic.AddInt32(&pw.refCount, -1) == 0 {
-        pw.destroy()
-    }
-}
-
-func (pw *partWrapper) markRemovable() {
-    atomic.StoreInt32(&pw.state, int32(partStateRemoving))
-}
-
-func (pw *partWrapper) isRemovable() bool {
-    return atomic.LoadInt32(&pw.state) == int32(partStateRemoving)
-}
-
-// Enhanced part structure with resource management
-type part struct {
-    // File readers with standardized naming
-    primary     fs.Reader    // primary.bin - Block metadata
-    data        fs.Reader    // data.bin - User data payloads  
-    userKeys    fs.Reader    // keys.bin - User-provided int64 keys
-    meta        fs.Reader    // meta.bin - Part metadata
-    
-    // File system and path
-    fileSystem  fs.FileSystem
-    path        string
-    
-    // Tag storage with individual tag files
-    tagMetadata map[string]fs.Reader  // tag_<name>.tm files
-    tags        map[string]fs.Reader  // tag_<name>.td files 
-    tagFilters  map[string]fs.Reader  // tag_<name>.tf files
-    
-    // Cached metadata for performance
-    blockMetadata []blockMetadata
-    partMetadata  partMetadata
-    
-}
-
-// Enhanced metadata with integrity
-type partMetadata struct {
-    // Size information
-    CompressedSizeBytes   uint64
-    UncompressedSizeBytes uint64
-    TotalCount            uint64
-    BlocksCount           uint64
-    
-    // Key range (replaces timestamp range)
-    MinKey      int64     // Minimum user key in part
-    MaxKey      int64     // Maximum user key in part
-    
-    // Identity
-    ID          uint64    // Unique part identifier
-}
-```
-
-#### 2. Enhanced Element Structure with Object Pooling
-
-```go
-// Enhanced element structure with reset capability for pooling
-type element struct {
-    seriesID  common.SeriesID
-    userKey   int64      // The ordering key from user (replaces timestamp)
-    data      []byte     // User payload data (pooled slice)
-    tags      []tag      // Individual tags (pooled slice)
-    
-    // Internal fields for pooling
-    pooled    bool       // Whether this element came from pool
-}
-
-// Reset clears element for reuse in object pool
-func (e *element) reset() {
-    e.seriesID = 0
-    e.userKey = 0
-    if cap(e.data) <= maxPooledSliceSize {
-        e.data = e.data[:0]  // Reuse slice if not too large
-    } else {
-        e.data = nil  // Release oversized slice
-    }
-    if cap(e.tags) <= maxPooledTagCount {
-        // Reset each tag for reuse
-        for i := range e.tags {
-            e.tags[i].reset()
-        }
-        e.tags = e.tags[:0]
-    } else {
-        e.tags = nil
-    }
-    e.pooled = false
-}
-
-// Enhanced elements collection with pooling
-type elements struct {
-    seriesIDs []common.SeriesID  // Pooled slice
-    userKeys  []int64           // Pooled slice
-    data      [][]byte          // Pooled slice of slices
-    tags      [][]tag           // Pooled slice of tag slices
-    
-    // Pool management
-    pooled    bool              // Whether from pool
-    capacity  int               // Original capacity for pool return
-}
-
-// Reset elements collection for pooling
-func (e *elements) reset() {
-    e.seriesIDs = e.seriesIDs[:0]
-    e.userKeys = e.userKeys[:0] 
-    e.data = e.data[:0]
-    e.tags = e.tags[:0]
-    e.pooled = false
-}
-
-// Elements are sorted by: seriesID first, then userKey
-func (e *elements) Less(i, j int) bool {
-    if e.seriesIDs[i] != e.seriesIDs[j] {
-        return e.seriesIDs[i] < e.seriesIDs[j]
-    }
-    return e.userKeys[i] < e.userKeys[j]  // Pure numerical comparison
-}
-```
-
-#### 3. Memory Management and Object Pooling
-
-**Key Components:**
-- **Object Pools**: sync.Pool for elements, tags, requests, and I/O buffers
-- **Memory Tracking**: Atomic counters for usage monitoring and leak detection
-- **Reset Methods**: All pooled objects implement reset() for safe reuse
-- **Size Limits**: Prevents pooling of oversized objects (>1MB)
-
-**Pooled Objects:**
-- Elements and element collections
-- Tag structures and value slices
-- Write/Query requests and responses
-- Read/Write buffers for I/O operations
-
-**Benefits:**
-- Reduced GC pressure under high load
-- Consistent memory usage patterns
-- Prevention of memory leaks through proper reset procedures
-
-#### 4. Resource Management and Backpressure Control
-
-**Key Components:**
-- **Disk Space Reservation**: Pre-allocates space for flush/merge operations to prevent out-of-space failures
-- **Memory Limiting**: Enforces memory usage limits with configurable warning and backpressure thresholds  
-- **Concurrency Control**: Limits concurrent operations (flush, merge, query) using semaphores
-- **Adaptive Backpressure**: Four-level system (None/Moderate/Severe/Critical) based on resource usage
-
-**Resource Limits:**
-- Memory: Maximum usage, part count, warning ratios
-- Disk: Maximum usage, minimum free space, warning thresholds
-- Concurrency: Maximum concurrent operations per type
-- Rate: Maximum writes/queries per second
-
-**Backpressure Behavior:**
-- **80-90%**: Minor delays in processing
-- **90-95%**: Significant delays and throttling
-- **95%+**: Drop new writes, emergency mode
-
-**Benefits:**
-- Prevents resource exhaustion failures
-- Maintains system stability under load
-- Provides graceful degradation
-
-#### 5. Error Handling and Recovery
-
-**Error Categories:**
-- **Corruption**: Data integrity violations, format errors
-- **Resource**: Memory/disk exhaustion, I/O failures  
-- **Validation**: Key ordering violations, format errors
-- **Concurrency**: Race conditions, deadlocks
-
-**Recovery Mechanisms:**
-- **Detection**: Continuous health monitoring and integrity validation
-- **Isolation**: Quarantine corrupted parts to prevent spread
-- **Repair**: Automatic recovery for repairable corruption
-- **Graceful Degradation**: Continue operation with reduced functionality
-
-**Key Components:**
-- **Structured Errors**: Detailed error context for diagnosis
-- **Health Checker**: Continuous system monitoring
-- **Validator**: File integrity and ordering verification
-- **Quarantine System**: Isolation of corrupted data
-- **Transactional Operations**: Atomic multi-file updates
-
-#### 6. Tag Storage Architecture
-
-sidx uses a **tag-based file design** where each tag is stored in its own set of files, unlike the stream module's tag-family grouping approach. This provides better isolation, modularity, and performance characteristics.
-
-##### File Organization per Tag
-Each tag gets three separate files within a part directory:
-- **`tag_<name>.td`** - Tag data file containing encoded tag values
-- **`tag_<name>.tm`** - Tag metadata file with encoding info, value type, and block offsets
-- **`tag_<name>.tf`** - Tag filter file containing bloom filters for fast lookups
-
-##### Tag Data Structures
-```go
-// Runtime tag representation
-type tag struct {
-    name      string
-    values    [][]byte
-    valueType pbv1.ValueType
-    filter    *filter.BloomFilter  // For indexed tags
-    min       []byte               // For int64 tags
-    max       []byte               // For int64 tags
-}
-
-// Persistent tag metadata
-type tagMetadata struct {
-    name        string
-    valueType   pbv1.ValueType
-    dataBlock   dataBlock       // Offset/size in .td file
-    filterBlock dataBlock       // Offset/size in .tf file
-    min         []byte
-    max         []byte
-}
-```
-
-##### Standardized File Format
-
-**Core Files (per part):**
-- `primary.bin` - Block metadata
-- `data.bin` - User data payloads with compression
-- `keys.bin` - User-provided int64 ordering keys
-- `meta.bin` - Part metadata
-- `manifest.json` - Human-readable part manifest
-
-**Tag Files (per tag per part):**
-- `tag_<name>.td` - Tag data with encoding optimizations
-- `tag_<name>.tm` - Tag metadata and block offsets
-- `tag_<name>.tf` - Bloom filters for fast lookups
-
-**File Format Features:**
-- **No Version Control**: Do not support format versioning 
-- **Format Validation**: File format and structure verification
-- **Atomic Updates**: Transactional multi-file operations
-- **Compression Support**: Configurable compression algorithms
-
-##### Benefits of Tag-Based Design
-- **Isolation**: Each tag is completely independent, reducing coupling
-- **Selective Loading**: Can load only the tags needed for a query
-- **Parallel Processing**: Tags can be processed independently for better concurrency
-- **Schema Evolution**: Adding/removing tags doesn't affect existing tags
-- **Cache Efficiency**: Related data for a single tag is stored contiguously
-- **Debugging**: Each tag's data is in separate, identifiable files
-
-#### 4. Data Storage Architecture
-
-sidx separates user data payloads from metadata to enable efficient querying and data organization.
-
-##### File Organization
-- **`data.bin`** - Contains the actual user data payloads (compressed)
-- **`primary.bin`** - Contains metadata for all data files including:
-  - Data block metadata (offset/size in data.bin)
-  - Key block metadata (offset/size in keys.bin)  
-  - Tag block metadata (references to tag files)
-
-##### Data Block Structure
-```go
-// Enhanced block metadata with data references
-type blockMetadata struct {
-    seriesID    common.SeriesID
-    minKey      int64                      // Minimum user key in block
-    maxKey      int64                      // Maximum user key in block
-    dataBlock   dataBlock          // Reference to data in data.bin
-    keysBlock   dataBlock          // Reference to keys in keys.bin
-    tagsBlocks  map[string]dataBlock // References to tag files
-    
-    // Additional metadata for query processing
-    tagProjection    []string // Tags to load for queries
-    uncompressedSize uint64   // Uncompressed size of block
-    count           uint64   // Number of elements in block
-}
-```
-
-##### Benefits of Separate Data Storage
-- **Efficient Metadata Scanning**: Can read block metadata without loading actual data
-- **Selective Data Loading**: Load only the data blocks needed for a query
-- **Independent Compression**: Optimize compression strategy per data type
-- **Clean Separation**: Metadata operations don't require data I/O
-- **Better Cache Utilization**: Metadata fits better in memory caches
-
-#### 5. Block Architecture
-
-The block design in sidx provides a comprehensive system for organizing, reading, writing, and scanning data blocks within parts. This architecture is inspired by the stream module but adapted for user-provided int64 keys instead of timestamps.
-
-##### Block Architecture Overview
-
-Blocks are the fundamental units of data organization within parts, providing:
-- **Efficient Storage**: Elements are organized into blocks for optimal compression and access
-- **Key-based Organization**: Sorted by seriesID first, then by user-provided int64 keys
-- **Memory Management**: Object pooling and reference counting for production use
-- **I/O Optimization**: Separate files for different data types enable selective loading
-
-##### Core Components
-
-###### A. Block Structure (`block`)
-
-The core block structure organizes elements for efficient storage and retrieval:
-
-```go
-// block represents a collection of elements organized for storage
-type block struct {
-    // Core data arrays (all same length)
-    userKeys   []int64           // User-provided ordering keys
-    elementIDs []uint64          // Unique element identifiers
-    data       [][]byte          // User payload data
-    
-    // Tag data organized by tag name
-    tags       map[string]*tagData  // Runtime tag data with filtering
-    
-    // Internal state
-    pooled     bool   // Whether this block came from pool
-}
-
-// Pool management for memory efficiency
-var blockPool = pool.Register[*block]("sidx-block")
-
-func generateBlock() *block {
-    v := blockPool.Get()
-    if v == nil {
-        return &block{
-            tags: make(map[string]*tagData),
-        }

-    return v
-}
-
-func releaseBlock(b *block) {
-    // Release tag filters back to pool
-    for _, tag := range b.tags {
-        if tag.filter != nil {
-            releaseBloomFilter(tag.filter)
-        }
-        releaseTagData(tag)
-    }
-    b.reset()
-    blockPool.Put(b)
-}
-
-// reset clears block for reuse in object pool
-func (b *block) reset() {
-    b.userKeys = b.userKeys[:0]
-    b.elementIDs = b.elementIDs[:0]
-    
-    // Reset data slices if not too large
-    if cap(b.data) <= maxPooledSliceCount {
-        for i := range b.data {
-            if cap(b.data[i]) <= maxPooledSliceSize {
-                b.data[i] = b.data[i][:0] // Reuse slice
-            }
-        }
-        b.data = b.data[:0]
-    } else {
-        b.data = nil // Release oversized slice
-    }

-    }
-    
-    b.pooled = false
-}
-
-// mustInitFromElements initializes block from sorted elements
-func (b *block) mustInitFromElements(elements *elements) {

-}

-// mustInitFromTags processes tag data for the block
-func (b *block) mustInitFromTags(elementTags [][]tag) {

-
-**Key Dependencies:**
-
-1. **Block → Block Metadata**: Blocks generate metadata during write operations
-2. **Block Metadata → Block Reader**: Metadata guides what and how to read
-3. **Block Reader → Block**: Reader loads data into block structures
-4. **Block Scanner → Block Reader**: Scanner uses reader to load blocks for queries
-5. **Block Writer → Parts**: Writer creates files within part directories
-6. **Parts → Block Scanner**: Scanner operates on blocks within parts
-
-##### Key Design Features
-
-###### Block Size Management
-```go
-const (
-    // maxElementsPerBlock defines the maximum number of elements per block.
-	maxElementsPerBlock = 8 * 1024
-)
-
-// isFull checks if block has reached element count limit.
-func (b *block) isFull() bool {
-	return len(b.userKeys) >= maxElementsPerBlock
-}
-```
-
-###### Compression Strategy
-- **Data Payloads**: zstd compression for user data
-- **User Keys**: Specialized int64 encoding for optimal space usage
-- **Tag Values**: Type-specific encoding with bloom filters for indexed tags
-- **Metadata**: JSON for readability, binary for performance-critical paths
-
-###### Memory Management
-- **Object Pooling**: All major structures use sync.Pool for allocation efficiency
-- **Reference Counting**: Safe concurrent access with atomic operations
-- **Resource Limits**: Configurable limits prevent memory exhaustion
-- **Reset Methods**: Proper cleanup enables safe object reuse
-
-###### Error Handling
-- **Validation**: Comprehensive validation at all levels
-- **Recovery**: Graceful handling of corruption and I/O errors
-- **Logging**: Detailed error context for debugging
-- **Consistency**: Atomic operations maintain data integrity
-

-
-**File Format Details:**
-- **primary.bin**: Contains array of blockMetadata structures
-- **data.bin**: Compressed user payloads with block boundaries
-- **keys.bin**: Int64-encoded user keys with block boundaries
-- ***.td**: Tag value data with type-specific encoding
-- ***.tm**: Tag metadata with bloom filter parameters
-- ***.tf**: Bloom filter data for fast tag filtering
-
-This block architecture provides efficient, scalable storage for user-key-based data while maintaining consistency with the existing sidx design principles and production requirements.

-
-### Implementation Details
-
-#### Write Path
-1. **Receive user key**: Accept int64 key from client without modification
-2. **Element accumulation**: Group elements by seriesID and sort by user key
-3. **Part creation**: Create memory parts when thresholds reached
-4. **Block organization**: Organize elements into blocks within parts
-5. **Flushing**: Persist memory parts to disk based on configurable policies
-6. **Merging**: Combine multiple small parts into larger ones
-
-#### Read Path
-1. **Query validation**: Validate query parameters (not key semantics)
-2. **Snapshot access**: Get current snapshot with reference counting
-3. **Part filtering**: Select parts that overlap with query key range
-4. **Block scanning**: Scan blocks within selected parts
-5. **Result assembly**: Combine and order results by user keys
-
-#### Part Organization
-- **Part naming**: Hex-encoded epoch numbers (generation-based)
-  - Function: `partName(epoch uint64)` returns `fmt.Sprintf("%016x", epoch)`
-  - Example: epoch `1` becomes directory `0000000000000001`
-  - Epochs assigned sequentially by introducer loop for total ordering
-- **Key ranges**: Each part covers a range of user keys
-- **Directory structure**: Similar to stream module (`000000001234abcd/`)
-- **File structure**: Core files plus individual tag files
-
-#### Epoch Management and Persistence
-
-**Epoch Assignment**: Each operation in the introducer loop increments the epoch counter:
-- Memory part introduction: `epoch++`
-- Flushed parts: `epoch++` 
-- Merged parts: `epoch++`
-
-**Snapshot Manifest Naming**: Snapshot manifests use epoch-based naming:
-- Function: `snapshotName(snapshot uint64)` returns `fmt.Sprintf("%016x%s", snapshot, ".snapshot")`
-- Example: epoch `1` becomes file `0000000000000001.snapshot`
-- Contains JSON array of part directory names for recovery
-- Used during startup to reconstruct snapshot state from epoch-based naming
-

-## Component Architecture: Introducer, Flusher, and Merger
-
-The sidx design implements a **hybrid approach** that combines user-controlled timing with centralized snapshot management. Users decide when to trigger storage operations, but a background introducer loop ensures snapshot consistency and coordinates all updates.
-
-### Core Design Philosophy
-
-**User-Controlled Timing with Centralized Coordination**: Users control when storage operations occur, but the introducer loop manages snapshot updates to ensure consistency. This provides the benefits of both user control and reliable snapshot management.
-
-### Component Relationships
-
-#### 1. Introducer Loop (Snapshot Coordinator)
-The introducer runs as a background goroutine that coordinates all snapshot updates through channel-based communication.
-
-**Single-Writer Invariant**: All snapshot updates go through the introducer loop; readers only read snapshots.
-
-The introducer loop implements the same critical single-writer architecture as the stream module:
-
-```go
-// Introduction types for different operations
-type memIntroduction struct {
-    memPart *partWrapper
-    applied chan struct{}
-}
-
-type flusherIntroduction struct {
-    flushed map[uint64]*partWrapper
-    applied chan struct{}
-}
-
-type mergerIntroduction struct {
-    merged  map[uint64]struct{}
-    newPart *partWrapper
-    applied chan struct{}
-}
-
-// Introducer loop coordinates all snapshot updates
-func (sidx *SIDX) introducerLoop(
-    flushCh chan *flusherIntroduction,
-    mergeCh chan *mergerIntroduction,
-    epoch uint64,
-) {
-    for {
-        select {
-        case <-sidx.closeCh:
-            return
-        case next := <-sidx.introductions:
-            // Introduce new memory part
-            sidx.introduceMemPart(next, epoch)
-            epoch++
-        case next := <-flushCh:
-            // Introduce flushed parts, replacing memory parts
-            sidx.introduceFlushed(next, epoch)
-            epoch++
-        case next := <-mergeCh:
-            // Introduce merged part, replacing old parts
-            sidx.introduceMerged(next, epoch)
-            epoch++
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Key Characteristics**:
-- **Background Goroutine**: Runs continuously to manage snapshot updates
-- **Channel-based Communication**: Receives updates via channels for thread safety
-- **Epoch Management**: Maintains ordering and consistency through epochs
-- **Single Source of Truth**: Only the introducer can modify snapshots
-- **Centralized Coordination**: All operations that modify snapshots are serialized through the introducer
-- **Sequential Processing**: Updates processed sequentially via channels for consistency
-- **Atomic Replacement**: Snapshot updates are atomic with proper reference counting
-- **Read-Only Access**: Readers access immutable snapshots without modification
-
-#### 2. Flusher (User-Triggered Persistence)
-The flusher provides a simple interface for user-controlled persistence:
-
-```go
-// Flusher provides user-triggered flush operations
-type Flusher interface {
-    // Flush triggers persistence of memory parts to disk
-    // Returns error if flush operation fails
-    Flush() error
-}
-
-// Internal implementation coordinates with introducer
-func (f *flusher) Flush() error {
-    // Determine which memory parts to flush
-    memParts := f.sidx.getMemPartsToFlush()
-    if len(memParts) == 0 {
-        return nil
-    }
-    
-    // Persist parts to disk
-    flushedParts := make(map[uint64]*partWrapper)
-    for _, mp := range memParts {
-        part, err := f.flushMemPartToDisk(mp)
-        if err != nil {
-            return err
-        }
-        flushedParts[mp.ID()] = part
-    }
-    
-    // Send introduction to coordinator
-    intro := &flusherIntroduction{
-        flushed: flushedParts,
-        applied: make(chan struct{}),
-    }
-    
-    f.sidx.flushCh <- intro
-    <-intro.applied // Wait for introduction to complete
-    return nil
-}
-```
-
-**User Control**:
-- **When to Flush**: User calls `Flush()` when needed (memory pressure, durability, etc.)
-- **Simple Interface**: Single function without parameters
-- **Internal Logic**: Flusher decides what to flush based on current state
-
-#### 3. Merger (User-Triggered Compaction)
-The merger provides a simple interface for user-controlled compaction:
-
-```go
-// Merger provides user-triggered merge operations
-type Merger interface {
-    // Merge triggers compaction of parts to optimize storage
-    // Returns error if merge operation fails
-    Merge() error
-}
-
-// Internal implementation coordinates with introducer
-func (m *merger) Merge() error {
-    // Determine which parts to merge
-    parts := m.sidx.getPartsToMerge()
-    if len(parts) < 2 {
-        return nil // No merge needed
-    }
-    
-    // Perform merge operation
-    mergedPart, err := m.mergePartsToDisk(parts)
-    if err != nil {
-        return err
-    }
-    
-    // Track which parts were merged
-    mergedIDs := make(map[uint64]struct{})
-    for _, part := range parts {
-        mergedIDs[part.ID()] = struct{}{}
-    }
-    
-    // Send introduction to coordinator
-    intro := &mergerIntroduction{
-        merged:  mergedIDs,
-        newPart: mergedPart,
-        applied: make(chan struct{}),
-    }
-    
-    m.sidx.mergeCh <- intro
-    <-intro.applied // Wait for introduction to complete
-    return nil
-}
-```
-
-**User Control**:
-- **When to Merge**: User calls `Merge()` when optimization is needed
-- **Simple Interface**: Single function without parameters
-- **Internal Logic**: Merger decides what to merge based on current state
-
-### Operational Flow
-
-#### Initialization and Background Loop
-
-```go
-// SIDX initialization starts the introducer loop
-func NewSIDX(options Options) *SIDX {
-    sidx := &SIDX{
-        introductions: make(chan *memIntroduction),
-        flushCh:       make(chan *flusherIntroduction),
-        mergeCh:       make(chan *mergerIntroduction),
-        closeCh:       make(chan struct{}),
-        flusher:       newFlusher(),
-        merger:        newMerger(),
-    }
-    
-    // Start the introducer loop as background goroutine
-    go sidx.introducerLoop(sidx.flushCh, sidx.mergeCh, 0)
-    
-    return sidx
-}
-```
-
-#### Write → Automatic Introduction
-
-```go
-// Write path automatically handles memory part introduction
-func (sidx *SIDX) Write(req WriteRequest) error {
-    // 1. Add element to current memory part
-    memPart, created := sidx.addToMemPart(req)
-    
-    // 2. If new memory part was created, introduce it automatically
-    if created {
-        intro := &memIntroduction{
-            memPart: memPart,
-            applied: make(chan struct{}),
-        }
-        
-        // Send to introducer loop
-        sidx.introductions <- intro
-        <-intro.applied // Wait for introduction to complete
-    }
-    
-    return nil
-}
-```
-
-#### User-Triggered Flush Operations
-
-```go
-// Example: User decides when to flush based on application needs
-func (app *Application) manageStorage() {
-    // User monitors memory usage and triggers flush
-    if app.sidx.memoryUsage() > app.maxMemory {
-        if err := app.sidx.flusher.Flush(); err != nil {
-            app.logger.Error("flush failed", err)
-        }
-    }
-    
-    // User can also flush on shutdown for durability
-    defer func() {
-        app.sidx.flusher.Flush() // Ensure all data is persisted
-    }()
-}
-```
-
-#### User-Triggered Merge Operations
-
-```go
-// Example: User optimizes storage during maintenance windows
-func (app *Application) optimizeStorage() error {
-    // User decides when to merge based on query performance
-    if app.sidx.partCount() > app.maxParts {
-        return app.sidx.merger.Merge()
-    }
-    
-    // User can schedule merges during low-load periods
-    if app.isMaintenanceWindow() {
-        return app.sidx.merger.Merge()
-    }
-    
-    return nil
-}
-```
-
-### Key Differences from Stream Module
-
-| Aspect | Stream Module | SIDX Module |
-|--------|---------------|-------------|
-| **Execution Model** | Background loops for introducer, flusher, merger | Single introducer loop + user-triggered flush/merge |
-| **Decision Making** | Automatic flush/merge based on timers/thresholds | User decides when to flush/merge |
-| **Coordination** | Full async communication via channels | Hybrid: introducer uses channels, user calls are sync |
-| **Lifecycle Management** | System-managed epochs, watchers, and policies | User-managed timing with system-managed epochs |
-| **Resource Control** | System decides when to use CPU/I/O | User decides when to use CPU/I/O |
-| **Interface Complexity** | Internal implementation details | Simple `Flush()` and `Merge()` interfaces |
-
-### Benefits of Hybrid Design
-
-1. **User Control with Safety**: Users control timing while introducer ensures snapshot consistency
-2. **Single-Writer Invariant**: All snapshot updates serialized through introducer loop for data consistency
-3. **Simple Interface**: Single-function interfaces (`Flush()`, `Merge()`) without parameters
-4. **Predictable Performance**: No unexpected background I/O, but reliable snapshot management
-5. **Application Integration**: Operations can be coordinated with application lifecycle
-6. **Efficient Coordination**: Channel-based introducer prevents race conditions
-7. **Epoch-based Recovery**: Consistent epoch naming enables reliable crash recovery
-8. **Flexible Policies**: Users implement custom flush/merge policies while system handles coordination
-
-### Implementation Considerations
-
-```go
-// Example user policy implementation
-type StorageManager struct {
-    sidx   *SIDX
-    policy StoragePolicy
-}
-
-type StoragePolicy struct {
-    // Flush triggers
-    MaxMemoryParts    int
-    MaxMemorySize     uint64
-    FlushOnShutdown   bool
-    
-    // Merge triggers
-    MaxPartCount      int
-    MaintenanceWindow time.Duration
-}
-
-// User implements custom flush logic
-func (sm *StorageManager) CheckAndFlush() error {
-    if sm.sidx.memoryPartCount() >= sm.policy.MaxMemoryParts ||
-       sm.sidx.memorySize() >= sm.policy.MaxMemorySize {
-        return sm.sidx.flusher.Flush()
-    }
-    return nil
-}
-
-// User implements custom merge logic  
-func (sm *StorageManager) CheckAndMerge() error {
-    if sm.sidx.partCount() >= sm.policy.MaxPartCount ||
-       sm.isMaintenanceWindow() {
-        return sm.sidx.merger.Merge()
-    }
-    return nil
-}
-
-// Internal flusher implementation
-type flusher struct {
-    sidx *SIDX
-}
-
-func (f *flusher) getMemPartsToFlush() []*partWrapper {
-    // Internal logic to select memory parts for flushing
-    // Could be all memory parts, or based on size/age criteria
-}
-
-// Internal merger implementation  
-type merger struct {
-    sidx *SIDX
-}
-
-func (m *merger) getPartsToMerge() []*partWrapper {
-    // Internal logic to select parts for merging
-    // Could be based on size ratios, part count, key ranges, etc.
-}
-```
-
-### Architecture Summary
-
-This hybrid architecture provides:
-
-1. **Centralized Coordination**: Single introducer loop manages all snapshot updates
-2. **Single-Writer Invariant**: All snapshot modifications serialized for consistency
-3. **User Control**: Simple `Flush()` and `Merge()` interfaces give users timing control
-4. **Thread Safety**: Channel-based communication prevents race conditions
-5. **Epoch-based Consistency**: Sequential epoch assignment ensures total ordering
-6. **Reliable Recovery**: Epoch-based part and snapshot naming enables crash recovery
-7. **Simplicity**: No complex parameters or configuration - internal logic handles details
-8. **Flexibility**: Users can implement any policy for when to trigger operations
-
-The design ensures that sidx remains focused on efficient storage while providing users with predictable, controllable storage operations that integrate cleanly with application lifecycles.
-
-#### Consistency with Stream Module
-
-SIDX maintains architectural consistency with the stream module:
-
-- **Same Single-Writer Pattern**: Both use introducer loops to serialize snapshot updates
-- **Same Epoch Management**: Both use 16-character hex epoch naming for parts and snapshots
-- **Same Recovery Mechanism**: Both use epoch-based naming for crash recovery
-- **Same Reference Counting**: Both use atomic reference counting for safe concurrent access
-- **Same Channel Communication**: Both use channels for thread-safe coordination
-
-This consistency ensures that developers familiar with one module can easily understand and work with the other, while maintaining the same reliability guarantees across both systems.
-
-### Configuration Options
-```go
-type Options struct {
-    // Path specifies the directory where index files will be stored
-    Path string
-    // MergePolicy defines the strategy for merging index segments during compaction
-    MergePolicy              *MergePolicy
-    // Protector provides memory management and protection mechanisms
-    Protector                protector.Memory
-}
-```
-
-## User Responsibility
-
-The USER/CLIENT is responsible for:
-
-1. **Key Generation**: Creating meaningful int64 values
-2. **Key Semantics**: Understanding what keys represent
-3. **Key Consistency**: Ensuring keys are comparable within same series
-4. **Range Queries**: Providing meaningful min/max values
-5. **Key Distribution**: Ensuring reasonable distribution for performance
-
-## Use Case Examples
-
-### 1. Timestamp-based Secondary Index
-```go
-// User converts timestamp to int64
-func writeEvent(event Event) {
-    req := WriteRequest{
-        SeriesID: event.ServiceID,
-        Key:      event.Timestamp.UnixNano(),  // User generates
-        Data:     event.Payload,
-        Tags:     event.Tags,
-    }
-    sidx.Write(req)
-}
-
-// User queries with timestamp range
-func queryByTime(serviceID string, start, end time.Time) []Element {
-    req := QueryRequest{
-        SeriesID: serviceID,
-        KeyRange: KeyRange{
-            Min: start.UnixNano(),  // User provides range
-            Max: end.UnixNano(),
-        },
-        Order: ASC,
-    }
-    return sidx.Query(req)
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Latency-based Secondary Index
-```go
-// User converts latency to int64 (microseconds)
-func writeLatency(requestID string, latency time.Duration) {
-    req := WriteRequest{
-        SeriesID: "latency-index",
-        Key:      latency.Microseconds(),  // User scales to int64
-        Data:     []byte(requestID),
-    }
-    sidx.Write(req)
-}
-
-// User queries latency range
-func queryByLatency(minMs, maxMs int) []Element {
-    req := QueryRequest{
-        SeriesID: "latency-index",
-        KeyRange: KeyRange{
-            Min: int64(minMs * 1000),  // User converts to microseconds
-            Max: int64(maxMs * 1000),
-        },
-        Order: DESC,  // Highest latency first
-    }
-    return sidx.Query(req)
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Sequence Number Index
-```go
-// User maintains sequence counter
-var seqCounter int64
-
-func writeMessage(msg Message) {
-    seq := atomic.AddInt64(&seqCounter, 1)
-    req := WriteRequest{
-        SeriesID: msg.TopicID,
-        Key:      seq,  // User-generated sequence
-        Data:     msg.Content,
-    }
-    sidx.Write(req)
-}
-
-// User queries sequence range
-func queryBySequence(topicID string, fromSeq, toSeq int64) []Element {
-    req := QueryRequest{
-        SeriesID: topicID,
-        KeyRange: KeyRange{Min: fromSeq, Max: toSeq},
-        Order:    ASC,
-    }
-    return sidx.Query(req)
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Score-based Index
-```go
-// User scales float score to int64
-func writeScore(userID string, score float64) {
-    req := WriteRequest{
-        SeriesID: "user-scores",
-        Key:      int64(score * 1000000),  // User scales to int64
-        Data:     []byte(userID),
-    }
-    sidx.Write(req)
-}
-
-// User queries score range
-func queryByScore(minScore, maxScore float64) []Element {
-    req := QueryRequest{
-        SeriesID: "user-scores",
-        KeyRange: KeyRange{
-            Min: int64(minScore * 1000000),  // User scales back
-            Max: int64(maxScore * 1000000),
-        },
-        Order: DESC,  // Highest scores first
-    }
-    return sidx.Query(req)
-}
-```
-

-
-## Test Strategy
-
-**Test Categories:**
-- **Unit Tests**: Object pooling, reference counting, resource management
-- **Integration Tests**: Write-read consistency, flush-merge workflows  
-- **Concurrency Tests**: Concurrent read/write operations with race detection
-- **Failure Tests**: Corruption detection, recovery procedures, disk full scenarios
-- **Performance Tests**: Benchmark throughput, memory usage, latency
-- **Property Tests**: Key ordering invariants, data consistency
-
-**Coverage Requirements:**
-- Unit Tests: >90% line coverage
-- Integration Tests: All major workflows
-- Concurrency Tests: Race detection enabled
-- Property Tests: Key invariants verification
-- Benchmark Tests: Performance regression tracking
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **Production Readiness**: Comprehensive error handling, resource management, and monitoring
-2. **Performance**: Object pooling, atomic operations, and efficient memory management
-3. **Reliability**: Reference counting, corruption detection, and automatic recovery
-4. **Scalability**: Backpressure control, concurrency limiting, and resource reservation
-5. **Observability**: Complete metrics, health checks, and administrative interfaces
-6. **Flexibility**: Users can implement any int64-based ordering scheme
-2. **Simplicity**: sidx doesn't need domain knowledge about keys
-3. **Performance**: No key generation or transformation overhead
-4. **Extensibility**: New use cases without sidx changes
-5. **Clear Separation**: User controls semantics, sidx handles storage
-6. **Reusability**: One system for multiple index types
-7. **Compatibility**: Can replicate stream behavior exactly with timestamp keys
-
-## Migration and Integration
-
-### Relationship to Stream Module
-- Stream module continues using timestamp-specific logic
-- sidx provides generic alternative for non-time indices
-- Both can coexist and complement each other
-- Future possibility: Stream could migrate to use sidx internally
-
-### Integration Points
-- Uses same filesystem abstractions (`pkg/fs`)
-- Uses same compression and encoding (`pkg/compress`, `pkg/encoding`)
-- Uses same storage patterns (LSM-tree, parts, snapshots)
-- Compatible with existing infrastructure
-
-This design creates a clean, general-purpose secondary index system where users have full control over the ordering semantics while sidx focuses purely on efficient storage and retrieval based on numerical key comparisons.

(skywalking-banyandb) 01/06: Implement snapshot management for secondary index

Posted by ha...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

hanahmily pushed a commit to branch sidx/snapshot
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/skywalking-banyandb.git

commit ce9fcee1963969186fa6aa9b87a8eb549fe27227
Author: Gao Hongtao <ha...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Aug 21 11:21:39 2025 +0700

    Implement snapshot management for secondary index
    
    - Introduced `snapshot.go` and `snapshot_test.go` to manage immutable collections of parts with epoch tracking and reference counting for safe concurrent access.
    - Added methods for part retrieval, validation, and reference counting, ensuring snapshots remain consistent and prevent premature cleanup.
    - Updated AI_CODING_GUIDELINES.md to clarify import organization and formatting rules.
    
    - Marked tasks in TODO.md as complete for snapshot structure implementation.

-## Phase 1: Core Data Structures
-
-### 1.1 Element and Elements Types (`element.go`) ✅
-- [x] Create element struct with seriesID, userKey, data, tags
-- [x] Implement pooling with reset methods for memory efficiency
-- [x] Add size calculation methods
-- [x] **Test Cases**:
-  - [x] Pool allocation and deallocation correctness
-  - [x] Element reset functionality preserves nothing
-  - [x] Memory reuse reduces allocations
-  - [x] Size calculation accuracy
-
-### 1.2 Tag Structure (`tag.go`) ✅
-- [x] Individual tag handling (not tag families like stream module)
-- [x] Support for tag data, metadata, filter files
-- [x] Implement tag value marshaling/unmarshaling
-- [x] **Test Cases**:
-  - [x] Tag encoding/decoding with various value types
-  - [x] Value type handling (int64, string, bytes)
-  - [x] Filter generation for indexed tags
-  - [x] Tag serialization round-trip integrity
-
-### 1.3 Metadata Structures (`metadata.go`) ✅
-- [x] partMetadata with MinKey/MaxKey (replacing timestamps)
-- [x] blockMetadata with block offsets and key ranges
-- [x] Validation methods for metadata integrity
-- [x] **Test Cases**:
-  - [x] Metadata serialization/deserialization
-  - [x] Key range validation (MinKey <= MaxKey)
-  - [x] Version compatibility checks
-  - [x] Corruption detection in metadata
-

(skywalking-banyandb) 04/06: Enhance snapshot replacement tests and update introducer test cases

Posted by ha...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

hanahmily pushed a commit to branch sidx/snapshot
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/skywalking-banyandb.git

commit 6ce7e415c0609d27df64abe35011e98ab969091e
Author: Gao Hongtao <ha...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Aug 21 16:47:23 2025 +0700

    Enhance snapshot replacement tests and update introducer test cases
    
    - Updated introducer test cases to use anonymous parameters for better readability.
    - Added comprehensive tests for snapshot replacement, including basic operations, concurrent reads, and memory leak prevention.
    - Ensured that snapshot replacement maintains data consistency and prevents data races during concurrent access.
    - Marked related tasks in TODO.md as complete for snapshot structure implementation.

(skywalking-banyandb) 02/06: Refactor element management in secondary index

Posted by ha...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

hanahmily pushed a commit to branch sidx/snapshot
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/skywalking-banyandb.git

commit 08e07b3a7d7fb24cd8f0becb3fca8a5111d6893a
Author: Gao Hongtao <ha...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Aug 21 14:57:59 2025 +0700

    Refactor element management in secondary index
    
    - Removed redundant element allocation and reset tests to streamline the test suite.
    - Simplified element and tag reset logic, ensuring proper memory reuse and management.
    - Introduced new methods for managing element collections, enhancing clarity and maintainability.
    - Added a new introducer mechanism for handling memory parts and flushing operations in the secondary index.
