[Store] Extract snapshot restore path into layered architecture（4/5）#2879
Conversation
This change extracts snapshot serialization/deserialization logic into a
dedicated MasterSnapshotCodec class while maintaining 100% backward
compatibility with existing snapshot formats.
Changes:
- Add ha::MasterSnapshotCodec for encoding/decoding master snapshots
- Add MasterSnapshotStateView as a read-only view of live state
- Update MasterSnapshotManager to use the new codec
- Codec delegates to existing serializers (MetadataSerializer,
SegmentSerializer, TaskManagerSerializer) to preserve format
- Add basic unit tests for codec functionality
The codec provides a clean interface with Encode() and Decode() methods
that return payloads as a map: {"metadata", "segments", "task_manager"}.
This sets the foundation for future refactoring of individual serializers
while keeping this change small and mergeable.
Snapshot format remains byte-identical to previous implementation:
- Metadata: msgpack-encoded, zstd-compressed per-shard
- Segments: msgpack-encoded segment manager state
- Task manager: msgpack-encoded task manager state
- Manifest: messagepack|1.0.0|master

…y in snapshot codec
- Replace const references with non-const references in MasterSnapshotStateView
to eliminate all const_cast operations in encoding methods
- Replace std::unordered_map with dedicated MasterSnapshotPayloads struct
for type-safe, zero-overhead payload container
- Update Encode() to return MasterSnapshotPayloads instead of map
- Update Decode() to accept MasterSnapshotPayloads instead of map
- Simplify payload access from map.at("key") to struct.field
Benefits:
- Eliminates const_cast code smell and improves const-correctness
- Removes map lookup overhead and string hashing
- Provides compile-time guarantee that all payloads are present
- Eliminates potential std::out_of_range runtime exceptions
- More self-documenting and IDE-friendly interface

…codec test Replace MasterSnapshotCodec::GetManifestContent() with EncodeManifest(type, version, snapshot_id). The old helper hardcoded "messagepack|1.0.0|master", silently dropping the snapshot_id and changing the third manifest field from the original "type|version|snapshot_id" format. PersistState now passes the real snapshot_id, restoring the on-disk format. Serializer identifiers are exposed as codec constants (kSerializerType/kSerializerVersion). Register master_snapshot_codec_test in CMakeLists and rewrite it against the current MasterSnapshotPayloads struct API (the file was still using the removed unordered_map payload API and never compiled). Private state access goes through a befriended fixture helper. Tests cover manifest encoding, encode/decode round-trip, corrupt-payload, and null-service.

Decode() must restore segments before metadata, matching the original RestoreState() order. A MEMORY replica's allocator is bound to its mounted segment, so restoring metadata first makes GetMountedSegment() return SEGMENT_NOT_FOUND while deserializing the replica. Add a round-trip test that mounts a segment, stores a MEMORY replica, and verifies it is queryable after decode into a fresh service. The test fails with the previous metadata-first order (SEGMENT_NOT_FOUND). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Code Review
This pull request refactors the master snapshot serialization and deserialization logic by introducing the MasterSnapshotCodec class and delegating state encoding/decoding responsibilities from MasterService and MasterSnapshotManager. It also introduces a comprehensive round-trip unit test suite for the codec. The review feedback identifies a potential null pointer dereference in DownloadSnapshotPayloads when catalog_store_ is null, suggests optimizing LoadRestoreCandidates to avoid redundant catalog queries by passing the loaded descriptor directly, and recommends removing an unused payloads parameter from ApplySnapshotState to simplify its signature.

If descriptor.object_prefix is empty, the code attempts to resolve the path prefix using catalog_store_->GetSnapshotRoot(). However, catalog_store_ can be null in certain configurations or test environments. If catalog_store_ is null, this will result in a null pointer dereference and crash the service.
Add a defensive null check for catalog_store_ before calling GetSnapshotRoot().

The LoadRestoreCandidates method currently calls LoadLatestSnapshot() internally, which is redundant because the caller in master_service.cpp has already fetched the latest snapshot. This results in an unnecessary duplicate query to the catalog store (e.g., Redis or embedded catalog).
We can eliminate this redundant call by changing the parameter of LoadRestoreCandidates to accept the already-loaded latest_snapshot descriptor directly.

Pass the loaded latest_snapshot descriptor directly to LoadRestoreCandidates instead of just the ID, allowing the repository to avoid a redundant query to the catalog store.

The payloads parameter is completely unused in ApplySnapshotState because the codec has already deserialized the payloads into the internal state. Removing this unused parameter simplifies the function signature and improves maintainability.

[P2] Remove the superseded restore implementation
RestoreState() no longer calls TryRestoreStateFromSnapshot() after the restore flow was split across the repository, codec, and apply phases. Keeping this private method leaves a second, now-dead implementation of the complete restore path, including manifest validation, payload downloads, decoding, cleanup, and metric rebuilding.
The two implementations have already diverged in exception handling, and future fixes could easily be applied to only one of them. Please remove both the declaration and definition as part of this PR; carrying two restore paths forward is a blocking maintenance risk.
You're right, and thanks for the precise diagnosis. I confirmed the leak: in TaskManagerSerializer::Deserialize(), arr[0].asstd::string() (task id) and arr[7].asstd::string() (assigned client) sit outside the field-conversion try block, so a structurally valid array with a wrongly-typed field there throws msgpack::type_error. That propagates out through DecodeTaskManager → Decode → RestoreState(), and since RestoreState() no longer has the per-candidate try/catch that the old TryRestoreStateFromSnapshot() had, the exception aborts restore and skips fallback to a healthy older snapshot. I went with the 2nd suggestion — making Decode() guarantee it converts all exceptions into SerializationError — rather than reinstating a boundary in RestoreState(). Reasoning: the codec owns deserialization, so it's the right layer to own translating deserialization faults into the expected<> contract its signature already promises. It also covers the same class of unguarded as<>() conversions that exist elsewhere in the segment/metadata serializers, not just this one call site, so RestoreState() stays a clean expected<>-driven loop and the fallback guarantee doesn't depend on every serializer being individually exception-tight. I deliberately did not change the per-task handling in TaskManagerSerializer — moving those two as<>() calls inside the try would change restore policy (partially restore a corrupt snapshot vs. fall back to a fully-healthy candidate), which is out of scope for this behavior-preservation fix. The Decode() boundary restores the exact pre-refactor behavior: a throwing candidate becomes an unusable candidate, and restore moves on. Added the fallback test you asked for: MasterSnapshotCodecTest.DecodeWithInvalidTaskFieldTypeReturnsError builds a structurally valid MessagePack task-manager payload whose id field is an int instead of a string, and asserts Decode() does not throw and returns DESERIALIZE_FAIL. Full codec suite (6 tests) and task_manager_test (11 tests) pass. Changes:

…ionError The refactored RestoreState() no longer wraps each restore candidate in a try/catch as the old TryRestoreStateFromSnapshot() did. Most serializer failures are returned as SerializationError, but a few MessagePack conversions still throw outside their local try blocks (e.g. TaskManagerSerializer::Deserialize() calls arr[0].as<std::string>() before its field-conversion try). Such an exception would escape RestoreState() and prevent fallback to an older healthy snapshot. Wrap the three decode steps in Decode() with a try/catch(...) that returns DESERIALIZE_FAIL, restoring the pre-refactor per-candidate fallback behavior. Add a fallback regression test that feeds a structurally valid MessagePack task-manager payload with a wrongly-typed id field and asserts Decode() returns an error instead of throwing.

…ore path Three fixes per reviewer feedback: 1. P2: Make snapshot_constants.h self-contained by including <cstddef> and using std::size_t for kUnlimitedSnapshotList. Previously this header failed to compile when included directly. 2. P2: Remove superseded TryRestoreStateFromSnapshot() implementation. This dead restore path was no longer called after the refactor split restore flow across repository/codec/apply phases. Keeping two divergent implementations is a maintenance risk. Note: P1 (preserve per-candidate exception boundary) was already addressed in the previous commit by wrapping Decode() with try/catch that converts all exceptions into SerializationError, preserving the pre-refactor fallback behavior.

One blocking exception-boundary issue remains after the latest update.
…uence Wrap DownloadSnapshotPayloads(), Decode(), and ApplySnapshotState() in try-catch block to handle exceptions that escape the expected<> return path (e.g., std::filesystem::exists() throws on bad paths). This ensures that restore running from the MasterService constructor falls back to the next snapshot candidate instead of aborting service startup. The codec-level exception conversion in Decode() remains as defense in depth, but the orchestration-level boundary guarantees candidate fallback for all exception sources.

Description
Relates to #2688.
Part 4 of 5 in the series refactoring master snapshot handling out of the
monolithic
MasterService.This PR refactors the snapshot restore path into a three-phase layered
architecture, building on the codec extraction from PR 3:
MasterSnapshotManager([Store] Refactor: Extract snapshot orchestration into MasterSnapshotManager #2805, merged)MasterSnapshotManager::Stop()non-blocking + repository split (merged)MasterService(under review:store/extract-snapshot-codec)What changed
This PR restructures the monolithic
TryRestoreStateFromSnapshot()method intoa layered, three-phase restore flow with clear separation of concerns:
Phase 1: Load candidates —
MasterSnapshotRepositoryscans the catalog foravailable snapshots to restore from.
Phase 2: Download + Decode —
MasterSnapshotRepositorydownloads snapshotpayloads from object storage, then
MasterSnapshotCodecdeserializes them intoin-memory structures.
Phase 3: Apply state —
MasterServiceapplies the deserialized state,cleans up expired metadata, and rebuilds capacity and allocation metrics.
Each layer has a single, well-defined responsibility:
New constant definitions
Added
snapshot_constants.hto centralize all snapshot-related constants(file names, format descriptors, directory paths) — eliminating duplication
across multiple files.
New repository methods
LoadLatestSnapshot()— Load the latest snapshot descriptor from catalogLoadRestoreCandidates()— Load list of all restorable snapshot candidatesDownloadSnapshotPayloads()— Download snapshot data from object storageNew service method
MasterService::ApplySnapshotState()— Applies deserialized snapshot state,cleans up expired metadata, and rebuilds metrics
Before (monolithic)
After (layered)
Why this matters
Separation of concerns — Each layer can be understood, tested, and modified
independently. Storage changes don't affect business logic, and vice versa.
Testability — Individual layers can be unit tested with mocked dependencies.
The repository layer can be tested with a fake object store, the codec with
synthetic payloads, and the service layer with pre-deserialized state.
Extensibility — Easy to add new storage backends (swap repository
implementation), support new serialization formats (extend codec), or change
restore strategies (modify service orchestration).
Maintainability — Clear boundaries make it easier to locate bugs and
understand the restore flow. Each method has a single, well-defined purpose.
