Zero's tablet map is `predicate -> group`. A +predicate can only be served by one group. Entity-level routing requires the same predicate to be +served by multiple groups simultaneously. + +## Chosen Approach: Sub-Tablet Routing + +Extend the tablet system so a single predicate can have multiple **sub-tablets**, each keyed by +`(predicate, label)` and assigned to a different group. No predicate renaming. The routing layer +becomes label-aware. + +--- + +## Design + +### 1. Entity Label Registry (`dgraph.label`) + +`dgraph.label` is a **reserved predicate on group 1**, like `dgraph.type` and ACL predicates. It +maps `UID -> label string`. + +**Query path does NOT need per-UID label lookups.** The query planner fans out to all authorized +sub-tablets. Each group returns only UIDs it stores. Label filtering is implicit in data +distribution. + +**Mutation path needs the lookup.** Two cases: + +- **New entity:** Extract label from the mutation batch itself (scan for `dgraph.label` edges before + routing other edges). +- **Existing entity:** Look up from local cache. Cache miss reads from group 1. + +**Caching:** Each alpha maintains a local `UID -> label` cache, populated on reads and mutations. +Invalidated when `dgraph.label` changes (triggers reclassification). + +### 2. Composite Tablet Key + +The tablet map key changes from `predicate` to `predicate@label` for labeled sub-tablets. Unlabeled +sub-tablets keep the bare predicate name for backward compatibility. + +```go +func tabletKey(predicate, label string) string { + if label == "" { + return predicate // "Document.name" + } + return predicate + "@" + label // "Document.name@secret" +} +``` + +The `@` character is not valid in Dgraph predicate names (allowed chars: `a-zA-Z0-9_.~`), so +collisions are impossible. + +**Tablet map examples:** + +``` +Group 1 tablets: + "Document.name" → unlabeled sub-tablet + "dgraph.label" → reserved, entity label storage + "dgraph.type" → reserved + +Group 2 tablets: + "Document.name@secret" → secret sub-tablet + "Document.text@secret" → secret sub-tablet + +Group 3 tablets: + "Document.name@top_secret" → top_secret sub-tablet + "Document.text@top_secret" → top_secret sub-tablet +``` + +**Key property:** Existing code that accesses `group.Tablets["Document.name"]` still works unchanged +— it matches the unlabeled sub-tablet. Only new label-aware code parses the `@` separator. + +### 3. Zero State Machine Changes + +**Three lookup functions replace one:** + +| Function | Purpose | Used By | +| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------- | +| `ServingSubTablet(pred, label)` | Find the ONE group serving this (pred, label) pair | Mutations, `handleTablet` | +| `ServingTablets(pred)` | Find ALL sub-tablets for a predicate across groups | Query fan-out | +| `ServingTablet(pred)` | **Backward compat** — returns the unlabeled sub-tablet | Existing code | + +**`handleTablet` change:** The duplicate-detection check changes from "is anyone serving this +predicate?" to "is anyone serving this (predicate, label) pair?". Multiple groups can serve the same +predicate as long as they have different labels. + +**Rebalancer:** Sub-tablets with non-empty labels are pinned. Only unlabeled sub-tablets participate +in rebalancing. + +### 4. Mutation Routing + +`populateMutationMap` changes from predicate-based to entity-label-based routing. + +**Two-phase approach:** + +``` +PHASE 1: Build entity -> label map from this mutation batch. + Scan for dgraph.label edges (handles new entities). + +PHASE 2: Route each edge using the entity's label. + - dgraph.label edges always route to group 1 (reserved) + - All other edges route to the entity's label group +``` + +**Label resolution priority:** + +``` +1. Entity label (dgraph.label) → highest priority +2. Predicate label (@label schema) → fallback default +3. Neither → normal unlabeled routing +``` + +This means predicate-level `@label` acts as a default for predicates where entities don't have their +own labels. Entity-level `dgraph.label` is an override. + +**`resolveLabel` function:** + +```go +func resolveLabel(uid uint64, predicate string, batchLabels map[uint64]string) string { + // 1. Entity label takes priority + if label := resolveEntityLabel(uid, batchLabels); label != "" { + return label + } + // 2. Fall back to predicate-level @label + if label, ok := schema.State().GetLabel(ctx, predicate); ok { + return label + } + // 3. Unlabeled + return "" +} +``` + +**`resolveEntityLabel` function:** + +```go +func resolveEntityLabel(uid uint64, batchLabels map[uint64]string) string { + // 1. Check mutation batch (new entity) + if label, ok := batchLabels[uid]; ok { + return label + } + // 2. Check local cache + if label, ok := entityLabelCache.Get(uid); ok { + return label + } + // 3. Cache miss — read from group 1 + label, _ := readEntityLabel(uid) + entityLabelCache.Set(uid, label) + return label +} +``` + +**Mixed-label mutations work naturally.** A single mutation batch containing edges for entities with +different labels produces multiple group-specific mutation batches via `populateMutationMap`. + +### 5. Query Fan-Out + +`ProcessTaskOverNetwork` changes from single-group dispatch to multi-group scatter-gather. + +**Fast path:** When a predicate has only one sub-tablet (common case for unlabeled predicates), +routing is identical to today — zero overhead. + +**Fan-out path:** When multiple sub-tablets exist: + +1. Look up all sub-tablets for the predicate. +2. Filter by auth context (only query labels the user can access). +3. Send the query (including full UID list) to each authorized sub-tablet in parallel. +4. Merge results. + +**UID list handling:** Send the full UID list to all groups. Each group ignores UIDs it doesn't have +postings for. This avoids per-UID label lookups on the query path. Slight network overhead but much +simpler. + +**Functions that need fan-out:** + +| Function | Location | +| ------------------------------------ | --------------------- | +| `ProcessTaskOverNetwork` | `worker/task.go` | +| `processSort` | `worker/sort.go` | +| Internal callers in `query/query.go` | Benefit automatically | + +**Index-backed functions** (`handleHasFunction`, `handleRegexFunction`, etc.) need no changes — by +the time they execute, the query is already scoped to one group's data. + +### 6. Reclassification (Entity Label Changes) + +When an entity's label changes, all its postings must migrate from the old group to the new group. +This follows the existing predicate-move pattern but scoped to a single entity. + +**Synchronous, blocking migration** (consistent with how predicate moves work today). + +**Sequence:** + +``` +1. DETECT: Old label != new label for the entity +2. BLOCK: Block mutations for this entity (per-entity block) +3. ENUMERATE: Query source group for all predicates where entity has postings + (iterate group's tablet list, check each for the target UID) +4. MIGRATE: For each predicate: + a. Read postings for this UID from source group + b. Write postings to destination group + c. Delete from source group +5. UPDATE: Write new dgraph.label on group 1 +6. INVALIDATE: Clear entity label caches across alphas +7. UNBLOCK: Resume mutations for this entity +``` + +**Data volume is small.** An entity typically has data across dozens of predicates, but each +predicate has only one posting for the UID. Migration should complete in milliseconds to seconds. + +**Fence timestamp pattern:** Same as predicate moves — lease a timestamp from Zero before migration. +Queries with `readTs` before the fence see the old location; queries after see the new location. + +### 7. Cross-Label Edges + +Cross-label edges work naturally with no special handling. + +```rdf +_:doc1 "secret" . +_:doc1 _:person1 . # person1 is unlabeled +``` + +The edge posting `(Document.author, doc1) -> person1` is stored on group 2 (where doc1's data +lives). The target UID (person1) lives on group 1. Dgraph resolves cross-group UID references at +query time during graph traversal. This is existing behavior. + +### 8. Edge Cases + +**DropAll:** + +- Deletes all data, tablets, and sub-tablets. +- Entity label cache is invalidated. +- Sub-tablets are recreated on re-schema + re-mutation. + +**Backup / Restore:** + +- Each group backs up its own sub-tablet data. +- Restore group 1 first (includes `dgraph.label` mappings). +- Sub-tablets are recreated via `ForceTablet` during restore. +- Entity label cache rebuilds naturally. + +**Live Loader:** + +- Uses `populateMutationMap` — benefits from two-phase routing automatically. + +**Bulk Loader:** + +- Needs similar two-phase logic in its map phase: scan for `dgraph.label` edges, then route by + entity label. + +--- + +## Coexistence with Predicate-Level @label + +Entity-level routing coexists with the existing predicate-level `@label` directive. Both produce the +same sub-tablet key format (`predicate@label`). + +| Aspect | Predicate-level `@label` | Entity-level `dgraph.label` | +| -------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------- | +| Label source | Schema definition | Entity data | +| Routing lookup | `schema.State().GetLabel()` | `resolveEntityLabel()` | +| Granularity | Every UID for that predicate | Every predicate for that UID | +| Use case | "This field is always secret" | "This document is secret" | + +**Conflict resolution:** Entity label wins.

Root cause: mergeResults appended UIDs from fan-out goroutines in non-deterministic order, but downstream algo.IndexOf uses binary search assuming sorted UIDs. The JSON encoder in preTraverse then silently skipped UIDs that binary search couldn't find. Key fixes: - Sort merged UidMatrix entries in mergeResults after appending from fan-out - Two-pass tablet caching in applyState (other groups first, own group last) so bare-predicate aliases correctly map to the own group's sub-tablet - Store tablets under composite keys (pred@label) in BelongsToReadOnly, sendTablet, and Inform to preserve AllSubTablets canonical entry discovery - Use BelongsToReadOnly in checkTablet (proposal.go) instead of Tablet+label to avoid label-resolution mismatch on entity-level sub-tablets - Fix Zero's ServingTablet/ShouldServe/Inform to use composite keys and sub-tablet fallback search for entity-level routing - Fix commit validation (oracle.go) to check all sub-tablets via ServingTablets - Simplify resolveLabel to entity-only (predicate @label handled by Zero) - Update test assertions for composite tablet keys, add retry logic, sort query results in Go instead of using DQL orderasc (avoids sort triplication) All 27 label integration tests pass. --- dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go | 17 ++++-- dgraph/cmd/zero/zero.go | 43 +++++++++++--- systest/label/label_test.go | 112 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------- worker/groups.go | 92 +++++++++++++++++++++++------ worker/mutation.go | 16 ++---- worker/proposal.go | 14 +++-- worker/task.go | 8 +++ 7 files changed, 219 insertions(+), 83 deletions(-) diff --git a/dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go b/dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go index cee15fae72f..d89da7f073e 100644 --- a/dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go +++ b/dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go @@ -370,13 +370,20 @@ func (s *Server) commit(ctx context.Context, src *api.TxnContext) error { if strings.Contains(pred, hnsw.VecKeyword) { pred = pred[0:strings.Index(pred, hnsw.VecKeyword)] } - tablet := s.ServingTablet(pred) - if tablet == nil { + tablets := s.ServingTablets(pred) + if len(tablets) == 0 { return errors.Errorf("Tablet for %s is nil", pred) } - if tablet.GroupId != uint32(gid) { - return errors.Errorf("Mutation done in group: %d.

Key methods: Get, Set, GetAny (prefers unlabeled), GetForGroup (prefers caller's group), AllForPredicate (O(1) label map), BuildFromFlat (bridge from proto). Also renames "sub-tablet" terminology to "label tablet" throughout. --- dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go | 2 +- dgraph/cmd/zero/raft.go | 9 +- dgraph/cmd/zero/zero.go | 111 ++++++++---------- protos/pb/labeled.go | 124 +++++++++++++++++++- protos/pb/tablet_index_test.go | 199 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ systest/label/label_test.go | 46 ++++---- worker/embedded.go | 2 +- worker/groups.go | 156 +++++++------------------- worker/proposal.go | 10 +- worker/sort.go | 20 ++-- worker/task.go | 32 +++--- worker/worker_test.go | 4 +- 12 files changed, 474 insertions(+), 241 deletions(-) create mode 100644 protos/pb/tablet_index_test.go diff --git a/dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go b/dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go index d89da7f073e..383edc4a012 100644 --- a/dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go +++ b/dgraph/cmd/zero/oracle.go @@ -370,7 +370,7 @@ func (s *Server) commit(ctx context.Context, src *api.TxnContext) error { if strings.Contains(pred, hnsw.VecKeyword) { pred = pred[0:strings.Index(pred, hnsw.VecKeyword)] } - tablets := s.ServingTablets(pred) + tablets := s.ServingLabelTablets(pred) if len(tablets) == 0 { return errors.Errorf("Tablet for %s is nil", pred) } diff --git a/dgraph/cmd/zero/raft.go b/dgraph/cmd/zero/raft.go index dfa3ef1828b..5b6cd3a57b4 100644 --- a/dgraph/cmd/zero/raft.go +++ b/dgraph/cmd/zero/raft.go @@ -284,6 +284,13 @@ func (n *node) regenerateChecksum() { g.Checksum = farm.Fingerprint64([]byte(strings.Join(preds, ""))) } + // Rebuild tablet index from authoritative flat proto maps. + idx := pb.NewTabletIndex() + for _, g := range state.GetGroups() { + idx.BuildFromFlat(g.GetTablets()) + } + n.server.tabletIndex = idx + if n.AmLeader() { // It is important to push something to Oracle updates channel, so the subscribers would // get the latest checksum that we calculated above.

Zero's tablet map is `predicate -> group`. A -predicate can only be served by one group. Entity-level routing requires the same predicate to be -served by multiple groups simultaneously. - -## Chosen Approach: Sub-Tablet Routing - -Extend the tablet system so a single predicate can have multiple **sub-tablets**, each keyed by -`(predicate, label)` and assigned to a different group. No predicate renaming. The routing layer -becomes label-aware. - ---- - -## Design - -### 1. Entity Label Registry (`dgraph.label`) - -`dgraph.label` is a **reserved predicate on group 1**, like `dgraph.type` and ACL predicates. It -maps `UID -> label string`. - -**Query path does NOT need per-UID label lookups.** The query planner fans out to all authorized -sub-tablets. Each group returns only UIDs it stores. Label filtering is implicit in data -distribution. - -**Mutation path needs the lookup.** Two cases: - -- **New entity:** Extract label from the mutation batch itself (scan for `dgraph.label` edges before - routing other edges). -- **Existing entity:** Look up from local cache. Cache miss reads from group 1. - -**Caching:** Each alpha maintains a local `UID -> label` cache, populated on reads and mutations. -Invalidated when `dgraph.label` changes (triggers reclassification). - -### 2. Composite Tablet Key - -The tablet map key changes from `predicate` to `predicate@label` for labeled sub-tablets. Unlabeled -sub-tablets keep the bare predicate name for backward compatibility. - -```go -func tabletKey(predicate, label string) string { - if label == "" { - return predicate // "Document.name" - } - return predicate + "@" + label // "Document.name@secret" -} -``` - -The `@` character is not valid in Dgraph predicate names (allowed chars: `a-zA-Z0-9_.~`), so -collisions are impossible. - -**Tablet map examples:** - -``` -Group 1 tablets: - "Document.name" → unlabeled sub-tablet - "dgraph.label" → reserved, entity label storage - "dgraph.type" → reserved - -Group 2 tablets: - "Document.name@secret" → secret sub-tablet - "Document.text@secret" → secret sub-tablet - -Group 3 tablets: - "Document.name@top_secret" → top_secret sub-tablet - "Document.text@top_secret" → top_secret sub-tablet -``` - -**Key property:** Existing code that accesses `group.Tablets["Document.name"]` still works unchanged -— it matches the unlabeled sub-tablet. Only new label-aware code parses the `@` separator. - -### 3. Zero State Machine Changes - -**Three lookup functions replace one:** - -| Function | Purpose | Used By | -| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------- | -| `ServingSubTablet(pred, label)` | Find the ONE group serving this (pred, label) pair | Mutations, `handleTablet` | -| `ServingTablets(pred)` | Find ALL sub-tablets for a predicate across groups | Query fan-out | -| `ServingTablet(pred)` | **Backward compat** — returns the unlabeled sub-tablet | Existing code | - -**`handleTablet` change:** The duplicate-detection check changes from "is anyone serving this -predicate?" to "is anyone serving this (predicate, label) pair?". Multiple groups can serve the same -predicate as long as they have different labels. - -**Rebalancer:** Sub-tablets with non-empty labels are pinned. Only unlabeled sub-tablets participate -in rebalancing. - -### 4. Mutation Routing - -`populateMutationMap` changes from predicate-based to entity-label-based routing. - -**Two-phase approach:** - -``` -PHASE 1: Build entity -> label map from this mutation batch. - Scan for dgraph.label edges (handles new entities). - -PHASE 2: Route each edge using the entity's label. - - dgraph.label edges always route to group 1 (reserved) - - All other edges route to the entity's label group -``` - -**Label resolution priority:** - -``` -1. Entity label (dgraph.label) → highest priority -2. Predicate label (@label schema) → fallback default -3. Neither → normal unlabeled routing -``` - -This means predicate-level `@label` acts as a default for predicates where entities don't have their -own labels. Entity-level `dgraph.label` is an override. - -**`resolveLabel` function:** - -```go -func resolveLabel(uid uint64, predicate string, batchLabels map[uint64]string) string { - // 1. Entity label takes priority - if label := resolveEntityLabel(uid, batchLabels); label != "" { - return label - } - // 2. Fall back to predicate-level @label - if label, ok := schema.State().GetLabel(ctx, predicate); ok { - return label - } - // 3. Unlabeled - return "" -} -``` - -**`resolveEntityLabel` function:** - -```go -func resolveEntityLabel(uid uint64, batchLabels map[uint64]string) string { - // 1. Check mutation batch (new entity) - if label, ok := batchLabels[uid]; ok { - return label - } - // 2. Check local cache - if label, ok := entityLabelCache.Get(uid); ok { - return label - } - // 3. Cache miss — read from group 1 - label, _ := readEntityLabel(uid) - entityLabelCache.Set(uid, label) - return label -} -``` - -**Mixed-label mutations work naturally.** A single mutation batch containing edges for entities with -different labels produces multiple group-specific mutation batches via `populateMutationMap`. - -### 5. Query Fan-Out - -`ProcessTaskOverNetwork` changes from single-group dispatch to multi-group scatter-gather. - -**Fast path:** When a predicate has only one sub-tablet (common case for unlabeled predicates), -routing is identical to today — zero overhead. - -**Fan-out path:** When multiple sub-tablets exist: - -1. Look up all sub-tablets for the predicate. -2. Filter by auth context (only query labels the user can access). -3. Send the query (including full UID list) to each authorized sub-tablet in parallel. -4. Merge results. - -**UID list handling:** Send the full UID list to all groups. Each group ignores UIDs it doesn't have -postings for. This avoids per-UID label lookups on the query path. Slight network overhead but much -simpler. - -**Functions that need fan-out:** - -| Function | Location | -| ------------------------------------ | --------------------- | -| `ProcessTaskOverNetwork` | `worker/task.go` | -| `processSort` | `worker/sort.go` | -| Internal callers in `query/query.go` | Benefit automatically | - -**Index-backed functions** (`handleHasFunction`, `handleRegexFunction`, etc.) need no changes — by -the time they execute, the query is already scoped to one group's data. - -### 6. Reclassification (Entity Label Changes) - -When an entity's label changes, all its postings must migrate from the old group to the new group. -This follows the existing predicate-move pattern but scoped to a single entity. - -**Synchronous, blocking migration** (consistent with how predicate moves work today). - -**Sequence:** - -``` -1. DETECT: Old label != new label for the entity -2. BLOCK: Block mutations for this entity (per-entity block) -3. ENUMERATE: Query source group for all predicates where entity has postings - (iterate group's tablet list, check each for the target UID) -4. MIGRATE: For each predicate: - a. Read postings for this UID from source group - b. Write postings to destination group - c. Delete from source group -5. UPDATE: Write new dgraph.label on group 1 -6. INVALIDATE: Clear entity label caches across alphas -7. UNBLOCK: Resume mutations for this entity -``` - -**Data volume is small.** An entity typically has data across dozens of predicates, but each -predicate has only one posting for the UID. Migration should complete in milliseconds to seconds. - -**Fence timestamp pattern:** Same as predicate moves — lease a timestamp from Zero before migration. -Queries with `readTs` before the fence see the old location; queries after see the new location. - -### 7. Cross-Label Edges - -Cross-label edges work naturally with no special handling. - -```rdf -_:doc1 "secret" . -_:doc1 _:person1 . # person1 is unlabeled -``` - -The edge posting `(Document.author, doc1) -> person1` is stored on group 2 (where doc1's data -lives). The target UID (person1) lives on group 1. Dgraph resolves cross-group UID references at -query time during graph traversal. This is existing behavior. - -### 8. Edge Cases - -**DropAll:** - -- Deletes all data, tablets, and sub-tablets. -- Entity label cache is invalidated. -- Sub-tablets are recreated on re-schema + re-mutation. - -**Backup / Restore:** - -- Each group backs up its own sub-tablet data. -- Restore group 1 first (includes `dgraph.label` mappings). -- Sub-tablets are recreated via `ForceTablet` during restore. -- Entity label cache rebuilds naturally. - -**Live Loader:** - -- Uses `populateMutationMap` — benefits from two-phase routing automatically. - -**Bulk Loader:** - -- Needs similar two-phase logic in its map phase: scan for `dgraph.label` edges, then route by - entity label. - ---- - -## Coexistence with Predicate-Level @label - -Entity-level routing coexists with the existing predicate-level `@label` directive. Both produce the -same sub-tablet key format (`predicate@label`). - -| Aspect | Predicate-level `@label` | Entity-level `dgraph.label` | -| -------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------- | -| Label source | Schema definition | Entity data | -| Routing lookup | `schema.State().GetLabel()` | `resolveEntityLabel()` | -| Granularity | Every UID for that predicate | Every predicate for that UID | -| Use case | "This field is always secret" | "This document is secret" | - -**Conflict resolution:** Entity label wins.
