chore(function-autoscaler): remove obsolete Cassandra state - #1012
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Function Autoscaler removes obsolete Cassandra prediction-history and running-function state. It retains recently invoked function storage, TTL behavior, distributed locks, node membership, and replica coordination while simplifying related APIs and autoscaling flow. ChangesAutoscaler Cassandra state cleanup
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change removes obsolete Cassandra state and simplifies discovery writes, but a QUORUM write paired with LOCAL_QUORUM reads can make a successful write temporarily invisible in multi-DC deployments and trigger duplicate discovery. Merge should wait for consistency alignment or explicit owner acceptance; the updated error paths also need bounded logging-context cleanup.

90-97: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winDocument why the literal value of
ACTIVE_FUNCTION_SET_NAMEmust not change.The string
"RecentlyInvokedFunctions"reproduces the name of the removedActiveFunctionTablevariant so the distributed lock keys stay identical across the deploy. That constraint is a cross-version coordination contract, not a naming preference.If someone changes the literal, two autoscaler versions running at the same time during a rolling deploy compute different lock names for the same bucket. Both versions then acquire their own lock and scale the same functions concurrently.
The test at Line 1120 pins the value, but the reason is only visible from the test name. Add the reason at the definition site.

800-802: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winOne failed bucket read aborts the whole scaling cycle.
get_active_functions_with_token_rangeis called inside the loop overbucket_ranges, and its result propagates with?. A single transient Cassandra read failure on an early bucket returns frommake_scaling_requestsimmediately. Every later bucket is then skipped for that cycle, so the functions in those buckets are not scaled at all.This contradicts the failure handling used for the per-function tasks a few lines below.
drain_scaling_tasks(Line 1030) deliberately counts failures and keeps draining independent work, and the comment at Lines 1027-1029 states that intent.This behavior is not introduced by this change. The call site was only updated for the new signature. Consider aligning the bucket loop with the per-task policy: record the read failure, continue to the next bucket, and fold the error into the existing
first_task_errorreporting.Sketch of the change

refresh_active_function_ttlcallssession.prepare(stmt)on each invocation. The scaling loop calls this function once per function that hasdesired_instance_count > 0, on every cycle. Eachprepareis an extra cluster round trip before the actual write.
add_new_active_functions_batchalready amortizes this correctly by preparing once per batch.

TL;DR
Reduce the Function Autoscaler's Cassandra footprint to three live responsibilities: recently invoked function membership, distributed locks, and healthy-node membership.
This removes 269 net lines, three unused tables, and unnecessary writes without changing scaling behavior or coordination.
