Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • MongoDB writes can report individual document failures when partial results are requested, while allowing successful writes in the same batch to persist.
    • Failure details identify affected request entries. For ordered updates, entries not processed after a failure are identified as unattempted.
    • MongoDB now advertises support for partial write results.
    • Transform requests can opt into partial results, with data and update failures returned separately.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Without partial results, item-level failures continue to fail the overall request. Ambiguous write outcomes, such as write-concern errors, also fail the request.

📝 Walkthrough

The protocol adds partial-result flags and indexed failure responses. MongoDB data and update writes can return attributable item failures when requested. The DynamoDB partition shuffle call is unchanged and gains a #nosec G404 annotation.

Changes: MongoDB Partial Write Results

Layer / File(s) Summary
Partial write result contract
proto/dsync/adiom/v1/messages.proto, connectors/mongo/conn.go
The protocol adds partial-result capability and request flags, indexed failures in write responses, and separate transform failure lists. MongoDB advertises support for partial write results.
Indexed data write failures
connectors/mongo/conn.go, connectors/mongo/connector_test.go
Data writes retain request indices and return normalized item failures when requested. Tests cover legacy errors, malformed BSON, and partial results that preserve successful writes.
Indexed update failures
connectors/mongo/conn.go, connectors/mongo/conn_unit_test.go, connectors/mongo/connector_test.go
Update writes retain source indices through model construction and deduplication. Attributable bulk errors map to request failures; ordered failures include later unattempted operations. Tests cover model mappings and update failure results.

DynamoDB Shuffle Annotation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Partition shuffle annotation
connectors/dynamodb/conn.go
The partition shuffle call is unchanged. A #nosec G404 comment now states that cryptographic randomness is not required for partition scheduling.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bdb1d

With partial results enabled, transient MongoDB write errors can be reported as item failures instead of a retryable RPC error, and some of those documents may already be written. Fix this before merging. The integration test may also fail in environments without MongoDB.

Skip the partial-write integration test when MONGO_TEST is not set.

This file requires the external build tag, so the default go test ./... command does not run this test. When the external tests run without MONGO_TEST, this test passes an empty connection string to MongoClient, which pings MongoDB. Without a reachable MongoDB instance, require.NoError fails the test.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not convert transient batch errors into item failures.

When partialResults is true, flush turns every error from insertBatchOverwrite into a WriteFailure for each document in the batch. The only exception is context cancellation. The helper returns errors on purpose when the outcome is unclear: a WriteConcernError, a network error, a server timeout, or an out-of-range error index. The doc comment on Lines 853-854 says these errors "always fail the batch." flush then turns them into item failures anyway. The RPC succeeds, and maybeUnavailableError never maps the error to CodeUnavailable.

The protocol says only "known item failures" go in the response. If a network blip happens during a large WriteData call, the caller sees every document reported as a per-item failure instead of a retryable RPC error. Some of those documents may already be written. WriteUpdates handles this differently: errors it cannot attribute still go through maybeUnavailableError.

Only document-specific errors should become item failures, such as a BSON marshal error on a batch of one. Retryable errors and errors with an unclear outcome should still fail the RPC.
