GeezerVison is showing github.com — perf(sac): index labels and remove cluster and namespace caches by ajheflin · Pull Request #23366 · stackrox/stackrox
Conversation
Description
Cluster and namespace store caches can miss writes from other instances. Read ordinary store data from PostgreSQL and add concurrent GIN indexes for both label columns; existing name/ID indexes are sufficient, and no versioned migration is required.
Keep a five-second SAC-only inventory snapshot until the follow-up moves scope selectors to SQL. Refresh once at a time, publish both inventories together, retain request cancellation, and fail authorization when expired inventory cannot be refreshed. Inventory changes can take five seconds plus refresh time to affect new requests. Malformed namespace IDs now surface PostgreSQL UUID errors rather than silent cache misses.
This change is limited to these two stores; the broader cache removal in #22986 is separate.
User-facing documentation
Testing and quality
- the change is production ready: the change is GA, or otherwise the functionality is gated by a feature flag
- CI results are inspected
Automated testing
- added unit tests
- added e2e tests
- added regression tests
- added compatibility tests
- modified existing tests
How I validated my change
- Cluster/namespace stores, datastores, SAC authorizer and schema integration tests passed against local PostgreSQL 14.17, including independent-store writes.
- Race tests, affected-package lint, repository-specific Go vet, affected protobuf formatting and storage compatibility passed; generated files reproduce cleanly.
- PostgreSQL EXPLAIN confirms both GIN indexes can serve containment/key predicates (with sequential scans disabled to verify eligibility).
- Full repository style remains incomplete: full Go lint was stopped after five minutes; remaining checks encounter missing pycodestyle and pre-existing formatting findings outside the changed files.
Local scope-check benchmark: 16 clusters, 16,000 namespaces, four parallel clients, a label-restricted deployment check. It includes inventory refreshes and scope construction, and excludes the deployment query itself. Comparison is against master 0361147; each measured run lasts at least 30 seconds.

The new path refreshed both inventories 7 times across 15,000 operations. RSS includes test setup and is not a production memory forecast. Scope matching still performs the same in-memory walk; targeted SQL remains follow-up work.

Summary
-
Summary by CodeRabbit
-
Performance
- Effective access-scope checks reuse a shared cluster and namespace inventory for up to five seconds, reducing repeated data reads.
- Cluster and namespace label lookups benefit from database indexes.
-
Access Control
- Changes to cluster or namespace names and labels may take up to five seconds, plus refresh time, to affect new access checks. Role permissions and scope rules are not cached.
-
Reliability
- Reads across application instances now reflect cluster and namespace inserts, updates, and deletions.
- If refreshing an expired inventory fails, access checks receive the error rather than using stale data.
SAC cluster and namespace inventory reads now accept contexts and walk their stores. The built-in scope checker uses a shared five-second inventory cache. SAC-specific cached-store APIs are removed, and cluster and namespace labels receive GIN indexes.

Summary |
Remove SAC-specific cached store APIs central/cluster/store/cluster/*, central/namespace/datastore/internal/store/*, central/namespace/datastore/internal/store/postgres/*, central/namespace/datastore/internal/store/store.go, pkg/search/postgres/*, tools/generate-helpers/pg-table-bindings/*, proto/TAGS.md |
Cluster and namespace stores use generic PostgreSQL stores without the SAC-specific cache API. The generator flag and generated method are removed. SQL integration tests check whether reads observe writes from a second store instance. |
Build inventories with context-aware reads central/cluster/datastore/*, central/namespace/datastore/* |
Cluster and namespace SAC inventory methods accept contexts and walk their stores with all-access context. They return inventory data and propagate walk errors. Callers, mocks, and tests pass contexts. |
Cache inventory for scope authorization central/sac/authorizer/*, pkg/postgres/schema/{clusters,namespaces}.go, proto/storage/{cluster,namespace_metadata}.proto |
The built-in scope checker gets both inventories through a five-second cache. Tests cover concurrent loads, refresh failures, cancellation, and label-based access revocation. A SQL integration benchmark measures authorization and inventory loads. Cluster and namespace labels receive GIN indexes. The README describes cache behavior. |

- Line 66: Update the waiter handling in `c.get` after `refresh.done` so a
waiter with a live context retries via `c.get(ctx)` when the refresh owner
failed with `context.Canceled` or `context.DeadlineExceeded`. Keep `c.load(ctx)`
unchanged, return the waiter’s own context error when its context is canceled,
and do not return an expired inventory during the retry.
