fix(server): cap query_metric_series window at retention, not a flat 90 days (JEF-593) - #155
Conversation
…90 days (JEF-593) query_metric_series resolved its window with a fixed 24*90-hour ceiling while metric_series_rollups is itself pruned at WATCHER_RETENTION_DAYS (default 7, same as the facet/histogram/hist_facet siblings' fixed 24*7). A wide request scanned an index/heap range that structurally holds no rows past retention -- wasted scan width and an inconsistent, misleading ceiling versus the sibling metric endpoints. Adds metric_series_max_hours(), sourced from WATCHER_RETENTION_DAYS (the same knob retention::prune_once prunes metric_series_rollups against) rather than a hard-wired constant, so raising retention widens the queryable window without a code change. Falls back to the sibling queries' fixed 24*7 both when the var is unset/unparsable and when retention is disabled (<= 0), since a disabled sweep prunes nothing and shouldn't be read as license for an unbounded scan. JEF-561's adaptive output bucketing is unchanged. Tests: parse_retention_max_hours unit tests cover the default-matches- sibling-ceiling case, tracking a non-default retention, and both disabled/invalid fallbacks; resolve_window_clamps_series_window_to_retention_ceiling proves a 90-day request is clamped to the 7-day retention bound (acceptance criterion).

HELD — the required Severity-ordered:
Please recompute the expected values rather than loosening the assertions — the point of both tests is exact bucket boundaries. Re-request review once |
…day ceiling (JEF-593) metric_series_wide_window_returns_bounded_correct_points and metric_series_wide_window_reaggregates_merged_buckets_correctly hardcoded the old flat 90-day query_metric_series ceiling: seed offsets at 89d/45d/ 10d/91d, and an output-bucket WIDTH of 7800.0 (300 * ceil(2160h-in-secs / 300 / 1000)). Under the new retention-derived 7-day ceiling (metric_series_max_hours(), JEF-593) those fixtures fall outside the window entirely -- both tests would fail against a real Postgres (they silently no-op locally via pool_or_skip when DATABASE_URL is unset). Rebased both onto the 7-day ceiling, preserving the exact properties each pins: - returns_bounded_correct_points: seeds now sit at 6d/3d/1d (in-window) and 8d (just past the ceiling, must be excluded) -- same 1-day margins on each side of the boundary as the original 89d/91d pair. - reaggregates_merged_buckets_correctly: WIDTH recomputed for the 7-day (604800s) window -- 300 * ceil(604800 / 300 / 1000) = 900 -- with the bucket anchor moved from 5d to 3.5d ago (still well clear of both the "now" and ceiling edges) and the count-weighted-merge assertion (4.25) unchanged. Local cargo fmt/check/clippy are green; the smoke suite still skips locally (no Docker/Postgres in this environment) -- verified by reasoning through output_bucket_secs' bucket-floor math rather than by running against a live database. CI's server check (with Postgres) is the real validator for this commit. Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Summary
query_metric_series(server/src/api.rs) resolved its window with a fixed24 * 90-hour ceiling, whilemetric_series_rollupsis itself pruned atWATCHER_RETENTION_DAYS(default 7 -- same as the facet/histogram/hist_facetsibling queries' fixed
24 * 7). A wide request scanned an index/heap rangethat structurally holds no rows past retention: wasted scan width, and a
ceiling inconsistent with every other metric endpoint.
Decision: sourced from
WATCHER_RETENTION_DAYS, not hard-wired. Addedmetric_series_max_hours()(env-reading, mirrors the existingmax_lookback_hours()/rollup_bucket_secs()pattern already inapi.rs)backed by a pure
parse_retention_max_hours(Option<&str>) -> i32helper forunit testing without mutating process env. It reads
WATCHER_RETENTION_DAYSand returns
days * 24, so raising retention widens the queryable windowwithout a code change, and falls back to the sibling queries' fixed
24 * 7both when the var is unset/unparsable and when retention is disabled
(
<= 0) -- a disabled sweep prunes nothing and shouldn't be read as licensefor an unbounded scan.
JEF-561's adaptive output-bucket width is unchanged; only the ceiling fed
into
resolve_window_and_widthchanged. No change to returned data forwindows within retention.
