fix(container-cache): restore relay connection reuse, replicate hot objects, make the hop observable - #1038
Conversation
…bjects, make the hop observable Consistent-hash routing relays roughly two thirds of requests to a peer pod. That path had two defects that cost latency on every relayed request, and the relay itself was invisible in metrics, so the cost could not be measured. Connection reuse. proxy-common.conf sets `Connection ""` at server scope to enable upstream keepalive, but nginx cancels inheritance of proxy_set_header as soon as a level declares any of its own, and @cc_relay declares three. The relay therefore fell back to the nginx default of `Connection: close`, and the cc_owner upstreams declared no keepalive pool either, so every relayed request opened a new connection and performed a new TLS handshake. Worst for the many small Range requests the hash deliberately spreads across owners. Repeat the header inside @cc_relay and give each upstream a pool. Hot-object replication. The relay ran with proxy_cache off, so an object requested repeatedly through a non-owner relayed for its whole lifetime with no way to stop. Cache on the relay behind proxy_cache_min_uses, keyed on $cc_hash_key so the local copy carries the owner's exact cache identity. Hot objects stop paying the hop; one-off objects still live only on their owner, and the extra copies are bounded by the existing min_free eviction. Set consistentHashRouting.relayCacheMinUses=0 to restore strict single-copy behavior. Observability. Relayed and local requests were indistinguishable in the request counter, the duration histogram and the throughput histogram, and the host label only ever carried the origin. Add a bounded `route` label with three values: local, relayed, peer. The lookup is emitted only when routing is enabled, because the variable is undeclared otherwise and OpenResty raises on reading an undeclared variable; with routing off every request is local, which is accurate. Histogram buckets. These requests are whole model-file transfers, not API calls. The duration histogram topped out at 10s while a large share of observed traffic exceeded it, and histogram_quantile clamps at the last finite bucket, so any reported high quantile was the bucket edge rather than a measurement. Response sizes jumped 100MB to 1GB to 10GB, putting nearly all traffic in one bucket. Both ladders now cover the range these objects occupy, and both are values. Behavior is unchanged when consistentHashRouting is disabled, which remains the default; the disabled render is still byte-identical to today apart from the widened buckets and the constant route label. Tests: extends tests/render-consistent-hash-test.sh with assertions for the keepalive pool and the repeated Connection header, relay caching and its disabled form, the route label in all three states, and that the routing variable is never read when undeclared. Verified the new assertions fail when the corresponding change is reverted. Closes #1037 Co-Authored-By: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe container-cache Helm chart now derives nginx worker counts from configuration or CPU limits, classifies request routes in Prometheus metrics, supports extended histogram buckets, reuses peer connections, and optionally caches frequently relayed objects locally. Render tests cover these behaviors. ChangesContainer-cache routing and capacity
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Decimal CPU limits can still cause the cache to use host-based worker sizing, potentially recreating excess workers and burst-latency or memory problems, while the new validation helper can fail before checking the rendered directive. Relay-cache hits may also continue to be reported as relayed traffic, reducing metric accuracy. These bounded issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Classify relay-cache hits as local.
Lines 45-49 set route to relayed whenever cc_owner is non-empty. Lines 186-189 now let @cc_relay serve a local cache hit without contacting the owner. That hit still reports relayed, so route metrics overstate peer-hop traffic.
Derive route from the final cache or upstream outcome. Treat cache-served relay responses as local. Add a request test for both a relay-cache hit and miss.

Helm Sprig atoi function behavior invalid decimal string "1.5"
💡 Result:
The Helm Sprig atoi function is a wrapper around the Go standard library function strconv.Atoi [1][2]. When provided with an invalid decimal string like "1.5", it fails to parse it as an integer and returns the default integer value of 0 [1][2][3]. This behavior occurs because strconv.Atoi expects a valid representation of an integer (e.g., "1", "100"). When the input contains non-integer characters—such as the decimal point in "1.5"—it is considered invalid input for an integer conversion [1][2]. The Sprig implementation is explicitly coded to discard the error and return the zero value [1][2]: go "atoi": func(a string) int { i, _ := strconv.Atoi(a); return i }, If you need to handle strings containing floating-point numbers, you should use the float64 function first to convert the string to a floating-point number, and then convert that value to an integer if necessary [4][5][6]. For example: {{ "1.5" | float64 | int }} This sequence will successfully convert "1.5" to the floating-point value 1.5 and then truncate it to the integer 1.

Kubernetes resource CPU quantity syntax decimal values 1.5 0.5 official documentation
💡 Result:
In Kubernetes, you can use decimal values such as 0.5 or 1.5 to specify CPU resources [1][2][3]. These values represent an absolute amount of CPU capacity, where 1.0 is equivalent to one physical or virtual CPU core [1][2]. Key points regarding this syntax include: - Functionality: Fractional values are fully supported and are equivalent to the milliCPU (m) suffix notation [1][2]. For example, 0.5 is equivalent to 500m (half of a CPU core), and 1.5 is equivalent to 1500m [1][4]. - Precision Limits: You cannot specify CPU resources with a precision finer than 1m (or 0.001) [1][2]. The system does not support more than three decimal places; numbers with greater precision will be rounded up [4]. - Best Practices: While decimal syntax is valid, the official documentation often recommends using the milliCPU (m) form—such as 500m instead of 0.5—to avoid errors and improve clarity, especially when working with values less than 1 [1]. - Serialization: When Kubernetes processes these quantities, it may internally serialize them into the milliCPU format (e.g., 1.5 is serialized as 1500m) [4]. For more information, you can consult the official Kubernetes documentation on resource management [1] and API quantity definitions [4].

Why
Consistent-hash routing sends each object to a single owner pod, which is what
keeps storage even across the tier. The cost is that with N pods and clients
arriving uniformly, (N-1)/N of requests are relayed to a peer. On a 3 pod tier
that is two thirds of all traffic taking an extra hop.
Investigating a report of higher latency at a near-100 percent cache hit rate
turned up two defects on that relay path, plus the fact that the relay is
invisible in metrics, so its cost could not be measured at all.
Measured on one production cluster over roughly 41 hours of counters: about
520 TB served in aggregate, 99.98 percent hit rate, average object about 528 MB.
With a two thirds relay fraction each relayed byte crosses the network twice, so
per pod NIC traffic is roughly 2.3x what it would be without the hop. Storage
was even across pods, so the tier was trading bandwidth for storage efficiency
in a situation where storage was not the constraint.
What changed
Connection reuse on the peer hop.
proxy-common.confsetsproxy_set_header Connection "";at server scope to enable upstream keepalive.nginx cancels inheritance of
proxy_set_headeras soon as a level declares anyof its own, and
@cc_relaydeclares three, so the relay never received it andfell back to the nginx default of
Connection: close. Thecc_owner_*upstreams also declared no
keepalivepool. Every relayed request thereforeopened a new TCP connection and performed a new TLS handshake, which is worst
for the many small Range requests the hash deliberately spreads across owners.
The header is now repeated inside
@cc_relayand each upstream has a pool.Hot-object replication. The relay ran with
proxy_cache off, so an objectrequested repeatedly through a non-owner relayed for its entire lifetime with no
mechanism to stop. It now caches behind
proxy_cache_min_uses, keyed on$cc_hash_keyso the local copy carries the owner's exact cache identity. Hotobjects stop paying the hop, one-off objects still live only on their owner, and
the extra copies are bounded by the existing
min_freeeviction. SettingconsistentHashRouting.relayCacheMinUses=0restores strict single-copybehavior.
Observability. Relayed and local requests were indistinguishable in the request
counter, the duration histogram and the throughput histogram, and the
hostlabel only ever carried the origin. A bounded
routelabel is added with threevalues:
local,relayed,peer. The lookup is emitted only when routing isenabled, because the variable is undeclared otherwise and OpenResty raises on
reading an undeclared variable. With routing off every request is
local, whichis accurate.
Histogram buckets. These requests are whole model-file transfers, not API calls.
The duration histogram topped out at 10s while a large share of observed traffic
exceeded it, and
histogram_quantileclamps at the last finite bucket, so anyreported high quantile was the bucket edge rather than a measurement. Response
sizes jumped 100MB to 1GB to 10GB, putting nearly all traffic in a single
bucket. Both ladders now cover the range these objects occupy and both are
exposed as values.
Customer Release Notes
Reduces latency for model and container downloads served through the cache when
consistent-hash routing is enabled, by reusing connections between cache pods
and by keeping frequently requested objects on the pod serving them.
Plan Summary
Chart-only change. No new Kubernetes resources. When
consistentHashRoutingisdisabled, which remains the default, the rendered output is unchanged apart from
the widened histogram buckets and a constant
routelabel.Usage
New values, all under
consistentHashRouting:peerKeepaliveConnections(default 32),peerKeepaliveTimeout(60s),peerKeepaliveRequests(1000): idle connection pool to each owner pod.relayCacheMinUses(default 3): replicate an object locally after this manyrequests arrive here for an object owned by another pod. 0 disables.
And under
metrics:durationHistogramBucketsandresponseSizeHistogramBuckets.Testing
tests/render-consistent-hash-test.shis extended with assertions for thekeepalive pool and the repeated
Connectionheader inside@cc_relay, relaycaching and its disabled form, the
routelabel in all three states, and thatthe routing variable is never read when undeclared. Each new assertion was
checked against a reverted change to confirm it fails when it should.
Full suite run:
render-consistent-hash-test.sh,verify-mirrors.sh,verify-monitoring.sh,verify-registry-auth.shall pass.helm lintclean.Renders verified with routing off, on with 3 replicas, and on with
relayCacheMinUses=0.Not run:
nginx -tagainst the rendered config, because no container runtime isavailable in this environment. The nginx-level reasoning that needs review is
that
$cc_hash_keyis referenced by@cc_relayinproxy-common.conf, which isincluded at the top of each server block, while the variable is
setlaterinside those blocks. nginx resolves variable references in a final pass over the
parsed configuration, so ordering is not expected to matter, but this is worth a
reviewer's eye and a smoke deploy before enabling the routing flag anywhere.
QA: recommended on a cluster with
consistentHashRouting.enabled=true. The newroutelabel makes the relay fraction and its latency directly measurable, sothe effect of this change can be confirmed from metrics rather than inferred.
Notes
Follow-up options that are deliberately not in this change, all recorded on the
issue: replication factor of two in owner selection to halve the relay fraction,
returning a redirect to the owner so the body crosses the network once, and
dropping TLS on the internal peer hop, which already runs with peer verification
disabled.
Separately,
proxy_cache_response_body_size_bytesis a gauge that is overwrittenper request, so total bytes served cannot be derived from it. That is a
prerequisite for byte-level hit and miss reporting and is left to the metrics
work rather than mixed in here.
