SSR RPC cache: rank nodes per call class, not on a single latency EWMA - #82
Conversation
The tracker kept one latency EWMA per node across every call shape, so the ranking was learned from the calls that dominate by count (point reads) and then used to pick a node for feed-shaped queries, whose cost is several times higher and varies by an order of magnitude between nodes. Latency is now kept per (node, call class). Health stays node-wide: a node that is not answering is not answering for any class. The SSR cache classifies every allowlisted method and the three feed-shaped reads are heavy; SSR_RPC_CALL_CLASSES=0 collapses it back to one profile without a rebuild. Stats gain per-node heavy_ewma_ms/heavy_samples plus a per-method class.

Closes #81.
NodeHealthTrackerkept one latency EWMA per node across every call shape. Upstream cost is bimodal: a point read costs a fraction of a feed-shaped query, while which node is quickest differs between the two. The ranking was therefore learned from the calls that dominate by count (the point reads) and then used to pick a node for the ones that do not.What changed
CallClass(Cheap/Heavy). Latency is kept per(node, class). Everything about whether a node is answering at all stays node-wide: consecutive failures, the failure park, the rate-limit park, the recent-failure ordering tier and the half-openTryBeginAttemptadmission. A node that is not answering is not answering for any class.HiveRpcClient.Call/CallMethodtake the class (defaultCheap) and thread it intoOrderedNodeIndices,RecordSuccessandRecordFailure. Callers that do not pass one, which is every consumer outside the cache, keep exactly one profile per node as before. On the tracker itself the argument is required, so a call site that forgets one does not compile.SsrRpc.MethodPolicycarries a required class. Heavy:bridge.get_ranked_posts,bridge.get_account_posts,bridge.get_discussion, each a page of feed rows or a whole comment tree built per request by hivemind. The rest are point reads./private-api/ssr/stats: per nodeheavy_ewma_msandheavy_samplesnext toewma_ms/samples. Those two keep their names because tests pin them, but they now report the cheap class rather than a blend. Per method there is aclass.call_classessits next tobudget_ms.SSR_RPC_CALL_CLASSES=0collapses every read back onto one profile without a rebuild.One prior, not one per class
The issue suggested a separate unproven prior per class. Measuring it, that is the wrong move. A prior above the caller's per-node timeout can never be exceeded by a real sample, so the first node to reach three samples would outrank every untried node permanently and nothing else would ever be sampled. Scoring an unproven class from the node's other class was the other candidate and is worse still: the two classes are on different scales, which is the premise of the change, so every heavy-unproven node would outrank every heavy-proven one. One prior (1s) for both, with the timeout floor left at prior + 1.
Tests
175 existing tests unchanged and green, 13 new. Each new guard was mutation-checked: revert the behaviour it pins, confirm that specific test goes red.
NodeCallClassTests(new): profiles independent per class, ordering differing per class, staleness per class, a timeout recorded as latency only in the class that timed out, parking and rate-limiting applying to both classes, a recent failure demoting the node for both, a success on one class clearing node-wide failure state.HiveRpcFailoverTests: a stub node quick on point reads and slow on feed queries keeps the point reads and loses the feed queries; a client that makes one shape of call leaves the heavy profile empty.StubNodegained a method-aware handler overload so one node can answer the two shapes differently; the existing facts use the old constructor unchanged.SsrRpcTests: the allowlist classification is pinned, a heavy read is measured in the heavy profile, the switch files everything under the cheap profile.Expectation
Bounded, as the issue says. Which nodes are usable does not change, only the order of the usable ones, for three methods. What is new and checkable is the per-class profile itself:
heavy_ewma_msnext toewma_mssays whether a node's blended number was hiding feed-query cost.timeout/slow_fillon the three heavy methods should fall with no rise on the cheap ones.Two things to watch after deploy, both readable from the same endpoint:
heavy_samplesshould show the leading heavy nodes staying proven rather than cycling.nodes[].rate_limitedis the number to diff.SSR_RPC_CALL_CLASSES=0is the response if it goes the wrong way.Summary by CodeRabbit
