Subject: [PATCH 01/27] Rename SimpleMapStore impls to Legacy* and move to
 legacy/ submodule (#220)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Move `SimpleMapStoreGlobal` → `LegacySimpleMapStoreGlobal` and
`SimpleMapStorePerKey` → `LegacySimpleMapStorePerKey` under a new
`simple_map_store/legacy/` submodule, in preparation for introducing
optimised replacements that will reclaim the original names (PR #175 part b).

- `legacy/global.rs` / `legacy/per_key.rs`: original implementations,
  renamed with the `Legacy` prefix throughout (struct, impl, log messages)
- `legacy/mod.rs`: re-exports both legacy types
- `simple_map_store/mod.rs`: references legacy module; `SimpleMapStore`
  enum now wraps `LegacySimpleMapStoreGlobal` / `LegacySimpleMapStorePerKey`
- `benches/simple_store_bench.rs`: doc comment updated to reflect that
  the bench profiles the legacy store implementation

Public API (`SimpleMapStore`, `Store`) is unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 03/27] Add Store correctness contract test suite
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Defines a run_contract_suite() function that tests every observable
behaviour of a Store implementation:

  - Empty-store edge cases (range query, exact query, earliest timestamp)
  - Single insert: range query hit/miss, exact query hit/miss (wrong start,
    wrong end)
  - Batch insert: count correctness, chronological ordering guaranteed
  - Partial range filtering (windows outside query range excluded)
  - Aggregation-ID isolation (inserts into agg 1 not visible to agg 2)
  - Earliest-timestamp tracking: global minimum, per agg-ID
  - Cleanup — CircularBuffer: oldest window evicted, newest 8 retained
  - Cleanup — ReadBased: evicted after threshold reads, unread window kept
  - Concurrency: 8-thread concurrent inserts (no data loss),
    8-thread concurrent reads (each returns full result set)

Two test entry points exercise both existing implementations:
  contract_per_key  — LockStrategy::PerKey (reference)
  contract_global   — LockStrategy::Global

Adding a new Store implementation requires only a new #[test] function
that calls run_contract_suite() with the new factory.

Subject: [PATCH 04/27] Extend store contract tests: all accumulator types,
 keyed entries, DeltaSet exclusion

- Add SerializableToSink import so clone-fidelity tests compile on concrete types
- Clone fidelity tests for all 11 accumulator types: SumAccumulator,
  MinMaxAccumulator, DatasketchesKLLAccumulator, IncreaseAccumulator,
  MultipleSumAccumulator, MultipleMinMaxAccumulator, SetAggregatorAccumulator,
  DeltaSetAggregatorAccumulator, CountMinSketchAccumulator,
  CountMinSketchWithHeapAccumulator, HydraKllSketchAccumulator
- Three keyed-entry tests: grouping by key, coexistence of keyed/unkeyed, multiple keys per window
- DeltaSetAggregator cleanup exclusion test
- Concurrency tests: concurrent inserts (8 threads) and concurrent reads

+# SimpleStore Index Design
+
+## Overview
+
+The `SimpleMapStore` uses an **inverted index** (label-primary) layout to store precomputed aggregates. This design aligns the storage structure with the query return type (`HashMap<Option<KeyByLabelValues>, Vec<TimestampedBucket>>`), eliminating the need for regrouping at query time.
+
+## Data Structure
+
+### Per-Key Store (`per_key.rs`)
+
+Each `aggregation_id` maps to a `StoreKeyData` protected by an `RwLock`:
+
+```
+DashMap<aggregation_id, Arc<RwLock<StoreKeyData>>>
+
+StoreKeyData {
+    label_map:         HashMap<Option<KeyByLabelValues>, BTreeMap<(start, end), Vec<Arc<dyn AggregateCore>>>>
+    window_to_labels:  HashMap<(start, end), HashSet<Option<KeyByLabelValues>>>
+    time_ranges: BTreeSet<(start, end)>
+    read_counts: Mutex<HashMap<(start, end), u64>>
+}
+```
+
+- **`label_map`** (primary index): Inverted index from label key to a time-sorted BTreeMap of aggregates. Enables O(log n + k) range queries per label.
+- **`window_to_labels`** (reverse index): For each time window, tracks exactly which labels contain data. Enables exact queries and cleanup to avoid full label scans.
+- **`time_ranges`** (secondary index): All known timestamp ranges across all labels. Used for cleanup counting and read-count tracking.
+- **`read_counts`**: Wrapped in `Mutex` so queries can use a read lock on the outer `RwLock` (only needs brief exclusive access to increment counts).
+
+### Global Store (`global.rs`)
+
+Same inverted index structure, but nested under a single `Mutex<StoreData>`:
+
+```
+Mutex<StoreData>
+
+StoreData {
+    store:            HashMap<aggregation_id, HashMap<Option<KeyByLabelValues>, BTreeMap<(start, end), Vec<Arc<dyn AggregateCore>>>>>
+    window_to_labels: HashMap<aggregation_id, HashMap<(start, end), HashSet<Option<KeyByLabelValues>>>>
+    time_ranges:      HashMap<aggregation_id, BTreeSet<(start, end)>>
+    read_counts:      HashMap<aggregation_id, HashMap<(start, end), u64>>
+}
+```
+
+No inner Mutex for `read_counts` since the outer Mutex already serializes all access.
+
+## Operation Complexity
+
+| Operation | Complexity |
+|---|---|
+| Range query | O(L x (log n + k)) via `BTreeMap::range()`, already grouped by label |
+| Exact query | O(m x log n) where m = labels present in target window (via reverse index) |
+| Insert | O(log n) BTreeMap insert per label |
+| CircularBuffer cleanup | O(k) iterate first k from `BTreeSet` + targeted removals via `window_to_labels` |
+| ReadBased cleanup | O(n) scan `read_counts` + targeted removals via `window_to_labels` |
+
+Where: n = total time ranges, k = matching/removed results, L = number of distinct labels.
+
+## Query Mechanics
+
+### Range Query
+
+For a query with `[start, end]`:
+
+1. For each label in `label_map`, use `btree.range((start, 0)..=(end, u64::MAX))` to find candidate entries in O(log n)
+2. Filter by `range_end <= end` (BTreeMap range only bounds `range_start`)
+3. Results are already in chronological order (BTreeMap iteration order) and grouped by label
+4. Update `read_counts` via the `time_ranges` secondary index
+
+### Exact Query
+
+For exact match `(exact_start, exact_end)`:
+
+1. Use `window_to_labels` to get labels that actually have that window
+2. For those labels only, use `btree.get(&(exact_start, exact_end))` for O(log n) lookup
+2. Results are already grouped by label
+
+## Cleanup Policies
+
+### CircularBuffer
+
+Retains the newest `configured_limit * 4` time ranges:
+
+1. Check `time_ranges.len()` against the retention limit
+2. Iterate `time_ranges` from the start (oldest first, already sorted by BTreeSet)
+3. Remove excess entries from `time_ranges`, `read_counts`, and reverse index
+4. Remove from only affected label BTrees using `window_to_labels` membership
+
+### ReadBased
+
+Removes entries that have been read `>= threshold` times:
+
+1. Scan `read_counts` for entries meeting the threshold
+2. Remove from `read_counts`, `time_ranges`, and reverse index
+3. Remove from only affected label BTrees using `window_to_labels` membership
+
+## Concurrency (Per-Key Store)
+
+The per-key store uses a read-lock optimization:
+
+- **Insert**: Acquires a write lock on the `RwLock` (exclusive access needed for `label_map` and `time_ranges`)
+- **Query**: Acquires a read lock on the `RwLock` (multiple queries can run concurrently). Updates `read_counts` by briefly locking the inner `Mutex`
+- **Cleanup**: Runs during insert (under write lock), accesses `read_counts` via `Mutex::get_mut()` (no lock needed since `&mut self` guarantees exclusive access)

Subject: [PATCH 09/27] Expand INDEX_DESIGN.md with full theoretical complexity
 analysis

Add separate time and space complexity tables with named variables (A,
L, N, k, m, V), per-operation breakdowns, and a note on Arc-sharing
eliminating deep copies on the read path.

-## Operation Complexity
+## Theoretical Complexity
 
-| Operation | Complexity |
+### Variables
+
+| Symbol | Meaning |
 |---|---|
-| Range query | O(L x (log n + k)) via `BTreeMap::range()`, already grouped by label |
-| Exact query | O(m x log n) where m = labels present in target window (via reverse index) |
-| Insert | O(log n) BTreeMap insert per label |
-| CircularBuffer cleanup | O(k) iterate first k from `BTreeSet` + targeted removals via `window_to_labels` |
-| ReadBased cleanup | O(n) scan `read_counts` + targeted removals via `window_to_labels` |
+| A | Number of distinct aggregation IDs |
+| L | Number of distinct label combinations (cardinality) |
+| N | Number of distinct time windows stored per (agg_id, label) |
+| k | Number of results matched or entries removed in a given operation |
+| m | Number of labels present in a specific time window |
+| V | Number of aggregate objects stored per (label, window) slot (typically 1) |
+
+### Time Complexity
+
+| Operation | Time | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Insert** (single entry) | **O(log N)** | DashMap O(1) + RwLock O(1) + HashMap O(1) + BTreeMap O(log N) + BTreeSet O(log N) |
+| **Insert** (batch of B entries, same agg_id) | **O(B · log N)** | One write-lock acquisition amortized over B items |
+| **Range query** | **O(L · (log N + k))** | BTreeMap::range per label in O(log N + k_L); results already grouped by label |
+| **Exact query** | **O(m · log N)** | window_to_labels lookup O(1) + BTreeMap point get O(log N) per matching label |
+| **CircularBuffer cleanup** | **O(k · m)** amortized | BTreeSet iteration O(k) + targeted label-map removals via window_to_labels |
+| **ReadBased cleanup** | **O(N + k · m)** | Full read_counts scan O(N) + targeted removals O(k · m) |
+| **get_earliest_timestamp** | **O(A)** | DashMap iteration over A entries with atomic loads |
+
+### Space Complexity
+
+| Structure | Space | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `label_map` | O(A · L · N · V) | Primary index: agg_id → label → BTreeMap(window → Vec<Arc<Agg>>) |
+| `window_to_labels` | O(A · N · L) | Reverse index: agg_id → window → HashSet\<label\> |
+| `time_ranges` | O(A · N) | Secondary index: agg_id → BTreeSet of all windows |
+| `read_counts` | O(A · N) | agg_id → HashMap\<window, u64\> |
+| **Total** | **O(A · L · N · V)** | Dominated by the primary label_map |
+
+Arc-sharing means query results hold references into the store; no deep copies are made for read paths.
+
+### Operation Complexity Summary
 
-Where: n = total time ranges, k = matching/removed results, L = number of distinct labels.
+| Operation | Complexity |
+|---|---|
+| Range query | O(L × (log N + k)) via `BTreeMap::range()`, already grouped by label |
+| Exact query | O(m × log N) where m = labels present in target window (via reverse index) |
+| Insert | O(log N) BTreeMap insert per label |
+| CircularBuffer cleanup | O(k × m) iterate first k from `BTreeSet` + targeted removals via `window_to_labels` |
+| ReadBased cleanup | O(N + k × m) scan `read_counts` + targeted removals via `window_to_labels` |
+| Space | O(A × L × N × V) — proportional to stored aggregates, not index overhead |

Subject: [PATCH 10/27] Apply three VictoriaMetrics-inspired optimizations to
 SimpleMapStore
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

1. Label interning (MetricID: u32)
   Introduce InternTable in common.rs that assigns a compact u32 to each
   unique Option<KeyByLabelValues> on first insert. All internal maps
   (label_map, window_to_ids) use MetricID as key — O(1) hash/compare
   instead of O(label_bytes). Label strings stored once; resolved back to
   KeyByLabelValues only when building the returned TimestampedBucketsMap.

2. Time-epoch partitioning + O(1) rotation cleanup
   Replace the single BTreeMap-per-label with epoch-partitioned storage:
   BTreeMap<EpochID, EpochData>. epoch_capacity = num_aggregates_to_retain
   (set on first insert). When the current epoch reaches capacity, a new
   epoch is opened and the oldest is dropped — O(1) drop vs the previous
   O(k·m) BTreeSet walk + targeted BTreeMap removals. ReadBased cleanup
   scans read_counts then calls EpochData::remove_windows on each epoch.

3. Sorted Vec posting lists
   Replace HashSet<Option<KeyByLabelValues>> in window_to_labels with
   Vec<MetricID> maintained in sorted order via partition_point + insert.
   Cache-friendly iteration for exact queries; enables merge-intersection
   for future label-predicate pushdown.

Both per_key.rs and global.rs updated. Shared types extracted to common.rs.
Public Store trait interface and all 329 existing tests are unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 11/27] Fix Dockerfile bench stub and apply cargo fmt

- Add dummy benches/simple_map_store_benchmark.rs in Dockerfile dep-caching
  layer so cargo can parse the manifest (bench entry in Cargo.toml)
- Run cargo fmt to fix import ordering and line-wrapping in common.rs,
  global.rs, and per_key.rs

Subject: [PATCH 12/27] Add legacy store for benchmark comparison

- Save old time-primary SimpleMapStorePerKey as LegacySimpleMapStorePerKey
  (deprecated, kept only for benchmarking)
- Expose it as pub mod per_key_legacy in the store module
- Add old_vs_new/* benchmark group comparing legacy vs current on
  insert, range_query, exact_query, concurrent_reads, and scaling

Subject: [PATCH 13/27] Fix clippy errors: type_complexity, unused_mut,
 collapsible_if, deprecated

- Add MetricBucketMap type alias in common.rs to fix type_complexity
- Use MetricBucketMap in global.rs and per_key.rs
- Remove unused `mut` from `results` in global.rs
- Collapse nested `if` into single condition in per_key.rs
- Add #[allow(deprecated)] to impl blocks in per_key_legacy.rs
- Add #![allow(deprecated)] to benchmark file for legacy store usage

Subject: [PATCH 14/27] Three further index optimizations: time-primary scan,
 flat sealed epochs, O(1) flat storage
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

1. Time-primary range scan (common.rs MutableEpoch):
   - window_to_ids: HashMap → BTreeMap, enabling O(log N + actual_matches) range scan
   - Range queries no longer visit every label; only labels with data in matched windows
   - For high-cardinality sparse data: O(L·log N) → O(log N + actual_matches)

2. Immutable sealed epochs (common.rs SealedEpoch):
   - On epoch rotation, MutableEpoch is sealed into a flat sorted Vec<(TimestampRange, MetricID, Arc<Agg>)>
   - Sorted by (TimestampRange, MetricID): windows contiguous, cache-friendly linear scan
   - Range queries use partition_point (binary search) then linear scan — no pointer chasing
   - min_tr/max_tr precomputed for O(1) epoch-skip check

3. Flat primary storage (MutableEpoch):
   - label_map: HashMap<MetricID, BTreeMap<TimestampRange, Vec<Arc<Agg>>>> replaced by
     data: HashMap<(MetricID, TimestampRange), Vec<Arc<Agg>>>
   - O(1) insert and point lookup; no nested BTreeMap traversal

per_key.rs / global.rs updated:
   - StoreKeyData/PerKeyState now hold current_epoch: MutableEpoch + sealed_epochs: BTreeMap<EpochID, SealedEpoch>
   - maybe_rotate_epoch calls MutableEpoch::seal() and inserts into sealed_epochs
   - cleanup_read_based updated for current + sealed epoch split

Subject: [PATCH 15/27] Make MutableEpoch insert O(1) amortized: append-only
 raw buffer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

MutableEpoch is now a plain append-only Vec (no BTreeMap, no sorted Vec
maintenance during writes). All sorting is deferred to seal() — paid once
at epoch rotation, not on every insert. Mirrors VictoriaMetrics' rawRows
→ in-memory part pipeline.

Insert path: Vec::push + HashSet::insert + 2 scalar min/max updates = O(1).
seal() path: sort_unstable_by_key = O(M log M), called once per epoch.

Query on active epoch: linear scan O(M), bounded by epoch_capacity × L.
Acceptable since sealed epochs hold most historical data and use binary search.

Replace min_tr/max_tr (TimestampRange) with min_start/max_end (u64) in
both MutableEpoch and SealedEpoch for accurate epoch-skip bounds.
Callers updated to use time_bounds() -> Option<(u64, u64)>.

MutableEpoch now maintains a secondary index:
  window_to_ids: HashMap<TimestampRange, Vec<(MetricID, Arc<Agg>)>>

On insert: Arc::clone into window_to_ids (refcount bump only, no data copy)
  + Vec::push — O(1) amortized, no change to insert complexity.

exact_query: HashMap lookup O(1) + iterate m entries O(m), no raw scan.
  Previously O(M) linear scan of all raw entries.

range_query_into: unchanged linear scan of raw (O(M), bounded).
seal(): unchanged — window_to_ids dropped, raw is sorted in-place.
remove_windows: also removes from window_to_ids.

Memory: one extra Arc pointer (8 bytes) per inserted entry — cheap.

 ## Overview
 
-The `SimpleMapStore` uses an **inverted index** (label-primary) layout to store precomputed aggregates. This design aligns the storage structure with the query return type (`HashMap<Option<KeyByLabelValues>, Vec<TimestampedBucket>>`), eliminating the need for regrouping at query time.
+`SimpleMapStore` uses an **epoch-partitioned inverted index** to store precomputed aggregates. Three VictoriaMetrics-inspired optimizations are applied on top of the basic label-primary layout:
 
-## Data Structure
+1. **Label Interning** — label combinations are mapped to compact `MetricID` (u32), reducing key size and hash cost.
+2. **Epoch Partitioning** — data is split into fixed-capacity epoch slots; the oldest epoch is dropped O(1) when the cap is exceeded (CircularBuffer policy).
+3. **Sorted Vec Posting Lists** — the reverse index (`window_to_ids`) stores `Vec<MetricID>` maintained in sorted order, enabling binary-search deduplication on insert and cache-friendly iteration on lookup.
 
-### Per-Key Store (`per_key.rs`)
+---
 
-Each `aggregation_id` maps to a `StoreKeyData` protected by an `RwLock`:
+## Data Structures
+
+### Types (common.rs)
+
+```rust
+pub type MetricID = u32;          // compact interned label ID
+pub type EpochID  = u64;          // monotonically increasing epoch counter
+pub type TimestampRange = (u64, u64);  // (start_timestamp, end_timestamp)
+pub type MetricBucketMap = HashMap<MetricID, Vec<(TimestampRange, Arc<dyn AggregateCore>)>>;
+```
+
+### InternTable (common.rs)
+
+```
+InternTable {
+    label_to_id: HashMap<Option<KeyByLabelValues>, MetricID>
+    id_to_label: Vec<Option<KeyByLabelValues>>
+}
+```
+
+- `intern(label)` → O(1) amortized, no double-hashing (uses `HashMap::entry`)
+- `resolve(id)` → O(1) indexed Vec lookup
+- All internal index maps use `MetricID` (u32) as keys, not full label strings
+
+### EpochData (common.rs)
+
+One epoch holds up to `epoch_capacity` distinct time windows.
+
+```
+EpochData {
+    label_map:     HashMap<MetricID, BTreeMap<TimestampRange, Vec<Arc<dyn AggregateCore>>>>
+    window_to_ids: HashMap<TimestampRange, Vec<MetricID>>   // sorted (Optimization 3)
+    time_ranges:   BTreeSet<TimestampRange>
+}
+```
+
+- **`label_map`** (primary index): inverted index MetricID → time-sorted BTreeMap of aggregates. Enables O(log N + k) range queries per label.
+- **`window_to_ids`** (reverse index): for each time window, sorted `Vec<MetricID>` of labels that contain data. Used for exact queries and targeted cleanup without full label scans.
+- **`time_ranges`** (secondary index): all distinct windows in this epoch, sorted. Used for epoch range filtering (skip epochs that don't overlap the query interval) and cleanup ordering.
+
+### Per-Key Store (per_key.rs)
+
+Each aggregation_id gets its own `StoreKeyData` behind a per-key `RwLock`:
 
 ```
 DashMap<aggregation_id, Arc<RwLock<StoreKeyData>>>
 
 StoreKeyData {
-    label_map:         HashMap<Option<KeyByLabelValues>, BTreeMap<(start, end), Vec<Arc<dyn AggregateCore>>>>
-    window_to_labels:  HashMap<(start, end), HashSet<Option<KeyByLabelValues>>>
-    time_ranges: BTreeSet<(start, end)>
-    read_counts: Mutex<HashMap<(start, end), u64>>
+    intern:           InternTable
+    epochs:           BTreeMap<EpochID, EpochData>
+    current_epoch_id: EpochID
+    epoch_capacity:   Option<usize>   // None = unlimited
+    max_epochs:       usize           // default 4
+    read_counts:      Mutex<HashMap<TimestampRange, u64>>
 }
 ```
 
-- **`label_map`** (primary index): Inverted index from label key to a time-sorted BTreeMap of aggregates. Enables O(log n + k) range queries per label.
-- **`window_to_labels`** (reverse index): For each time window, tracks exactly which labels contain data. Enables exact queries and cleanup to avoid full label scans.
-- **`time_ranges`** (secondary index): All known timestamp ranges across all labels. Used for cleanup counting and read-count tracking.
-- **`read_counts`**: Wrapped in `Mutex` so queries can use a read lock on the outer `RwLock` (only needs brief exclusive access to increment counts).
+`read_counts` is behind an inner `Mutex` so queries can hold a read lock on the outer `RwLock` and still update counts (brief inner lock, no write-lock upgrade needed).

-    window_to_labels: HashMap<aggregation_id, HashMap<(start, end), HashSet<Option<KeyByLabelValues>>>>
-    time_ranges:      HashMap<aggregation_id, BTreeSet<(start, end)>>
-    read_counts:      HashMap<aggregation_id, HashMap<(start, end), u64>>
+    stores:      HashMap<aggregation_id, PerKeyState>
+    read_counts: HashMap<aggregation_id, HashMap<TimestampRange, u64>>
+}
+
+PerKeyState {
+    intern:           InternTable
+    epochs:           BTreeMap<EpochID, EpochData>
+    current_epoch_id: EpochID
+    epoch_capacity:   Option<usize>
+    max_epochs:       usize
 }
 ```
 
-No inner Mutex for `read_counts` since the outer Mutex already serializes all access.

 ### Time Complexity
 
 | Operation | Time | Notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Insert** (single entry) | **O(log N)** | DashMap O(1) + RwLock O(1) + HashMap O(1) + BTreeMap O(log N) + BTreeSet O(log N) |
-| **Insert** (batch of B entries, same agg_id) | **O(B · log N)** | One write-lock acquisition amortized over B items |
-| **Range query** | **O(L · (log N + k))** | BTreeMap::range per label in O(log N + k_L); results already grouped by label |
-| **Exact query** | **O(m · log N)** | window_to_labels lookup O(1) + BTreeMap point get O(log N) per matching label |
-| **CircularBuffer cleanup** | **O(k · m)** amortized | BTreeSet iteration O(k) + targeted label-map removals via window_to_labels |
-| **ReadBased cleanup** | **O(N + k · m)** | Full read_counts scan O(N) + targeted removals O(k · m) |
-| **get_earliest_timestamp** | **O(A)** | DashMap iteration over A entries with atomic loads |
+|-----------|------|-------|
+| **Insert** (single entry) | O(log N) | DashMap O(1) + RwLock O(1) + InternTable O(1) + BTreeMap O(log N) + BTreeSet O(log N) + sorted-Vec insert O(L) worst |

+| **Epoch rotation** (CircularBuffer) | O(1) amortized | BTreeMap insert new epoch + BTreeMap pop oldest |
+| **Range query** | O(E · L · (log N + k)) | Per epoch: skip check O(1) + range scan per label O(log N + k_L); MetricID→label resolution O(L) |
+| **Exact query** | O(E · m · log N) | Per epoch: reverse-index lookup O(1) + point get O(log N) per matching label; stops at first match |
+| **CircularBuffer cleanup** | O(1) amortized | Epoch rotation drops entire oldest epoch |
+| **ReadBased cleanup** | O(N + k · m) | Scan read_counts O(N) + targeted removals via window_to_ids O(k · m) |
+| **get_earliest_timestamp** | O(A) | DashMap iteration with AtomicU64 loads |
 
 ### Space Complexity
 
 | Structure | Space | Notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| `label_map` | O(A · L · N · V) | Primary index: agg_id → label → BTreeMap(window → Vec<Arc<Agg>>) |
-| `window_to_labels` | O(A · N · L) | Reverse index: agg_id → window → HashSet\<label\> |
-| `time_ranges` | O(A · N) | Secondary index: agg_id → BTreeSet of all windows |
-| `read_counts` | O(A · N) | agg_id → HashMap\<window, u64\> |
-| **Total** | **O(A · L · N · V)** | Dominated by the primary label_map |
-
-Arc-sharing means query results hold references into the store; no deep copies are made for read paths.
-
-### Operation Complexity Summary
-
-| Operation | Complexity |
-|---|---|
-| Range query | O(L × (log N + k)) via `BTreeMap::range()`, already grouped by label |
-| Exact query | O(m × log N) where m = labels present in target window (via reverse index) |
-| Insert | O(log N) BTreeMap insert per label |
-| CircularBuffer cleanup | O(k × m) iterate first k from `BTreeSet` + targeted removals via `window_to_labels` |
-| ReadBased cleanup | O(N + k × m) scan `read_counts` + targeted removals via `window_to_labels` |
-| Space | O(A × L × N × V) — proportional to stored aggregates, not index overhead |
+|-----------|-------|-------|
+| `InternTable` | O(L) per agg_id | Stores each label string once |
+| `label_map` (per epoch) | O(L · N · V) | Primary index across all epochs |
+| `window_to_ids` | O(N · m) | Reverse index, bounded by epoch |
+| `time_ranges` | O(N) per epoch | BTreeSet of distinct windows |
+| `read_counts` | O(N) total | Counts keyed by TimestampRange |
+| **Total** | **O(A · E · L · N · V)** | E bounded by `max_epochs` (default 4); dominated by label_map |
+
+Arc-sharing means query results reference aggregate objects already in the store — no deep copies on read paths.
+

 ## Query Mechanics
 
 ### Range Query
 
-For a query with `[start, end]`:
+For a query `[start, end]`:
 
-1. For each label in `label_map`, use `btree.range((start, 0)..=(end, u64::MAX))` to find candidate entries in O(log n)
-2. Filter by `range_end <= end` (BTreeMap range only bounds `range_start`)
-3. Results are already in chronological order (BTreeMap iteration order) and grouped by label
-4. Update `read_counts` via the `time_ranges` secondary index
+1. Acquire **read lock** on `StoreKeyData` (concurrent queries run in parallel)
+2. For each epoch in `epochs.values()`:
+   - Skip if `min_tr.0 > end || max_tr.1 < start` (epoch range check, O(1) via BTreeSet first/last)
+   - For each label in `label_map`, call `btree.range((start, 0)..=(end, u64::MAX))`, filter `tr.1 <= end`
+   - Stream results directly into a `MetricBucketMap` (grouped by MetricID, no intermediate flat vec)
+3. Resolve MetricIDs → label strings in one pass via `InternTable`
+4. Lock inner `Mutex` briefly to update `read_counts`
 
 ### Exact Query
 
 For exact match `(exact_start, exact_end)`:
 
-1. Use `window_to_labels` to get labels that actually have that window
-2. For those labels only, use `btree.get(&(exact_start, exact_end))` for O(log n) lookup
-2. Results are already grouped by label
+1. Acquire **read lock**
+2. Iterate epochs newest-first (`epochs.values().rev()`):
+   - Use `window_to_ids.get(&range)` to get the sorted `Vec<MetricID>` of labels with that window
+   - For each MetricID, use `label_map[id].get(&range)` — O(log N) point lookup
+   - Stop at the first epoch that has the window (break after first match)
+3. Resolve MetricIDs → labels, update `read_counts`
+
+---
 
 ## Cleanup Policies
 
 ### CircularBuffer
 
-Retains the newest `configured_limit * 4` time ranges:
+Epoch-based eviction — O(1) amortized:
 
-1. Check `time_ranges.len()` against the retention limit
-2. Iterate `time_ranges` from the start (oldest first, already sorted by BTreeSet)
-3. Remove excess entries from `time_ranges`, `read_counts`, and reverse index
-4. Remove from only affected label BTrees using `window_to_labels` membership
+1. On first insert, set `epoch_capacity` from `num_aggregates_to_retain`
+2. After each item insert, call `maybe_rotate_epoch()`:
+   - If current epoch's `window_count() >= epoch_capacity`, open a new epoch (`current_epoch_id + 1`)
+   - If `epochs.len() > max_epochs`, pop the oldest epoch (BTreeMap first entry) — O(1) drop of entire epoch
+   - Purge dropped epoch's windows from `read_counts`
 
 ### ReadBased
 
-Removes entries that have been read `>= threshold` times:
+Read-count triggered eviction:
+
+1. Scan `read_counts` for windows with `count >= threshold`
+2. For each such window, call `EpochData::remove_windows()`:
+   - Remove from `time_ranges`, `window_to_ids`, and only the affected label BTrees (via sorted `Vec<MetricID>` from reverse index)
+3. Drop any epochs that are now empty; re-create `current_epoch_id` entry if it was dropped
+
+### NoCleanup
+
+No eviction — data accumulates indefinitely.
 
-1. Scan `read_counts` for entries meeting the threshold
-2. Remove from `read_counts`, `time_ranges`, and reverse index
-3. Remove from only affected label BTrees using `window_to_labels` membership
+---
 
 ## Concurrency (Per-Key Store)
 
-The per-key store uses a read-lock optimization:
+| Operation | Lock acquired |
+|-----------|--------------|
+| **Insert** | `DashMap` shard lock (briefly) → `RwLock::write` for the duration of the batch |
+| **Range/Exact query** | `DashMap` shard lock (briefly) → `RwLock::read` (concurrent queries run in parallel) → `Mutex::lock` on `read_counts` (briefly, while holding read lock) |
+| **Cleanup** | Runs under the existing write lock; accesses `read_counts` via `Mutex::get_mut()` (no lock overhead — `&mut self` guarantees exclusivity) |
 
-- **Insert**: Acquires a write lock on the `RwLock` (exclusive access needed for `label_map` and `time_ranges`)
-- **Query**: Acquires a read lock on the `RwLock` (multiple queries can run concurrently). Updates `read_counts` by briefly locking the inner `Mutex`
-- **Cleanup**: Runs during insert (under write lock), accesses `read_counts` via `Mutex::get_mut()` (no lock needed since `&mut self` guarantees exclusive access)
+Multiple readers per aggregation_id can proceed concurrently. Writers only block readers of the same aggregation_id, not other aggregation_ids.

Subject: [PATCH 20/27] refactor: optimize MutableEpoch insert path (columnar
 storage, lazy index, batch hoisting)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Columnar storage: three parallel arrays (windows_col, metric_ids_col,
  aggregates_col) instead of row tuples; range scan hot loop touches only
  windows_col
- Lazy window_to_ids index: built on first exact_query after a write batch,
  invalidated cheaply (= None) on insert — zero index maintenance on hot path
- Monotonic ingest fast path: skip windows_set HashSet probe for consecutive
  same-window inserts (Opt 3)
- with_capacity hint: MutableEpoch::with_capacity uses previous epoch len to
  avoid Vec reallocation during next epoch fill
- Batch metadata hoisting in global/per_key: config lookup, metrics.insert,
  earliest_ts update, items_inserted count moved from per-item to per-group

Results: ~2x insert, ~3x range query (Sum), ~27x range query (KLL) vs legacy.

+# Simple Store Insert Profile
+
+Date: 2026-03-20
+
+## Scope
+
+Profile the ingestion bottleneck of the new `SimpleMapStore` implementation before making further design changes.
+
+Target paths:
+
+- `new/per_key`
+- `new/global`
+
+Workload:
+
+- one-shot insert of 10,000 `Sum` precomputes
+- release build
+- cleanup policy: `NoCleanup`
+
+## Method
+
+Because `perf` and `valgrind` were not available in the environment, I used temporary feature-gated timing counters on the hot insert path, ran a one-shot insert harness, collected the timings, and then removed the instrumentation.
+
+The profiled code path covered:
+
+- `InternTable::intern()`
+- `MutableEpoch::insert()`
+- outer-loop metadata work in `per_key` and `global`
+
+## Results
+
+### New Per-Key
+
+Total time for 10,000 inserts: `12.766 ms`
+
+| Component | Time | Share of Total |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `MutableEpoch::insert` | `6.984 ms` | `54.7%` |
+| `InternTable::intern` | `0.615 ms` | `4.8%` |
+| earliest-timestamp update | `1.069 ms` | `8.4%` |
+
+Breakdown inside `MutableEpoch::insert`:
+
+| Sub-component | Time | Share of Total | Share of `MutableEpoch::insert` |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `window_to_ids` maintenance | `2.974 ms` | `23.3%` | `42.6%` |
+| `windows` `HashSet` insert | `1.379 ms` | `10.8%` | `19.7%` |
+| `raw.push` | `1.057 ms` | `8.3%` | `15.1%` |
+| bounds update | `0.658 ms` | `5.2%` | `9.4%` |
+
+### New Global
+
+Total time for 10,000 inserts: `14.614 ms`
+
+| Component | Time | Share of Total |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `MutableEpoch::insert` | `5.766 ms` | `39.5%` |
+| `InternTable::intern` | `0.587 ms` | `4.0%` |
+| config lookup | `0.608 ms` | `4.2%` |
+| metric-set insert | `0.979 ms` | `6.7%` |
+| earliest-timestamp update | `0.630 ms` | `4.3%` |
+| per-key map entry | `0.590 ms` | `4.0%` |
+| insertion-count update | `1.028 ms` | `7.0%` |
+
+Breakdown inside `MutableEpoch::insert`:
+
+| Sub-component | Time | Share of Total | Share of `MutableEpoch::insert` |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `window_to_ids` maintenance | `2.378 ms` | `16.3%` | `41.2%` |
+| `windows` `HashSet` insert | `1.261 ms` | `8.6%` | `21.9%` |
+| `raw.push` | `0.577 ms` | `3.9%` | `10.0%` |
+| bounds update | `0.617 ms` | `4.2%` | `10.7%` |
+
+## Key Findings
+
+1. The primary ingestion bottleneck is active-epoch index maintenance, not label interning.
+2. The hottest single cost is `window_to_ids` maintenance.
+3. The second major structural cost is maintaining the distinct-window `HashSet`.
+4. `InternTable::intern()` is relatively small in this workload because the batch reuses the same label key almost entirely.
+5. The `global` variant also pays meaningful per-item metadata overhead outside `MutableEpoch::insert`.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The current write-path slowdown is mostly caused by synchronous maintenance of current-epoch query indexes.
+
+Most promising improvements, in order:
+
+1. Make `window_to_ids` cheaper.
+   - Avoid storing a second aggregate pointer there.
+   - Store offsets or `MetricID`s only, or make this index optional/lazy for the active epoch.
+2. Reduce or avoid `windows: HashSet<TimestampRange>` maintenance on the hot path.
+   - Add a monotonic-ingest fast path when incoming windows are already time-ordered.
+3. Hoist metadata updates out of the per-item loop.
+   - Especially in `global`, batch config lookup, metric bookkeeping, earliest-timestamp updates, and count updates.
+4. Longer term: split ingest from query indexing.
+   - Append to a write-optimized memtable/WAL first, then seal/index asynchronously.
+
+## Notes
+
+- These measurements were taken from targeted instrumentation rather than sampling profiler output.
+- The repository was restored to a clean state after profiling.

+/// **Opt 5 — Columnar storage**: timestamps, MetricIDs, and aggregates are kept in three
+/// separate parallel arrays instead of one array of tuples.  The range-query hot loop only
+/// scans `windows_col` (contiguous u64 pairs) and does not touch aggregate pointers unless a
+/// window actually matches, cutting cache pressure significantly for sparse range queries.
+///
+/// **Opt 1 + 2 — Lazy offset index**: `window_to_ids` is built on the *first* `exact_query`
+/// after any write batch and stores u32 column offsets rather than Arc clones.  Any `insert`
+/// simply sets the field to `None` (one pointer-width write); there are no HashMap lookups,
+/// no `HashSet::insert` calls for the index, and no atomic refcount bumps on the hot insert
+/// path.  The index is rebuilt in O(M) on demand from `windows_col` alone.

+/// **Opt 3 — Monotonic ingest fast path**: `last_window` tracks the most recently inserted

+/// bucket — the common case in ordered TSDB ingestion) skip the `windows_set` HashSet probe
+/// entirely.

Subject: [PATCH 21/27] docs: update INDEX_DESIGN to reflect columnar
 MutableEpoch/SealedEpoch design

Replace the old EpochData/BTreeMap description with the current implementation:
- MutableEpoch: columnar storage (3 parallel arrays), lazy window_to_ids index,
  monotonic ingest fast path, incremental bounds tracking
- SealedEpoch: flat sorted Vec with binary-search range/exact queries
- Updated complexity table (insert O(1) amortized, range O(log N + k) on sealed)
- Updated query mechanics to reflect write-lock for exact query (lazy index build)
- Remove asap-query-engine/docs/simple_store_insert_profile.md (profiling scratch doc)

-# Simple Store Insert Profile
-
-Date: 2026-03-20
-
-## Scope
-
-Profile the ingestion bottleneck of the new `SimpleMapStore` implementation before making further design changes.
-
-Target paths:
-
-- `new/per_key`
-- `new/global`
-
-Workload:
-
-- one-shot insert of 10,000 `Sum` precomputes
-- release build
-- cleanup policy: `NoCleanup`
-
-## Method
-
-Because `perf` and `valgrind` were not available in the environment, I used temporary feature-gated timing counters on the hot insert path, ran a one-shot insert harness, collected the timings, and then removed the instrumentation.
-
-The profiled code path covered:
-
-- `InternTable::intern()`
-- `MutableEpoch::insert()`
-- outer-loop metadata work in `per_key` and `global`
-
-## Results
-
-### New Per-Key
-
-Total time for 10,000 inserts: `12.766 ms`
-
-| Component | Time | Share of Total |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `MutableEpoch::insert` | `6.984 ms` | `54.7%` |
-| `InternTable::intern` | `0.615 ms` | `4.8%` |
-| earliest-timestamp update | `1.069 ms` | `8.4%` |
-
-Breakdown inside `MutableEpoch::insert`:
-
-| Sub-component | Time | Share of Total | Share of `MutableEpoch::insert` |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| `window_to_ids` maintenance | `2.974 ms` | `23.3%` | `42.6%` |
-| `windows` `HashSet` insert | `1.379 ms` | `10.8%` | `19.7%` |
-| `raw.push` | `1.057 ms` | `8.3%` | `15.1%` |
-| bounds update | `0.658 ms` | `5.2%` | `9.4%` |
-
-### New Global
-
-Total time for 10,000 inserts: `14.614 ms`
-

-| earliest-timestamp update | `0.630 ms` | `4.3%` |
-| per-key map entry | `0.590 ms` | `4.0%` |
-| insertion-count update | `1.028 ms` | `7.0%` |
-
-Breakdown inside `MutableEpoch::insert`:
-
-| Sub-component | Time | Share of Total | Share of `MutableEpoch::insert` |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| `window_to_ids` maintenance | `2.378 ms` | `16.3%` | `41.2%` |
-| `windows` `HashSet` insert | `1.261 ms` | `8.6%` | `21.9%` |
-| `raw.push` | `0.577 ms` | `3.9%` | `10.0%` |
-| bounds update | `0.617 ms` | `4.2%` | `10.7%` |
-
-## Key Findings
-
-1. The primary ingestion bottleneck is active-epoch index maintenance, not label interning.
-2. The hottest single cost is `window_to_ids` maintenance.
-3. The second major structural cost is maintaining the distinct-window `HashSet`.
-4. `InternTable::intern()` is relatively small in this workload because the batch reuses the same label key almost entirely.
-5. The `global` variant also pays meaningful per-item metadata overhead outside `MutableEpoch::insert`.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-The current write-path slowdown is mostly caused by synchronous maintenance of current-epoch query indexes.
-
-Most promising improvements, in order:
-
-1. Make `window_to_ids` cheaper.
-   - Avoid storing a second aggregate pointer there.
-   - Store offsets or `MetricID`s only, or make this index optional/lazy for the active epoch.
-2. Reduce or avoid `windows: HashSet<TimestampRange>` maintenance on the hot path.
-   - Add a monotonic-ingest fast path when incoming windows are already time-ordered.
-3. Hoist metadata updates out of the per-item loop.
-   - Especially in `global`, batch config lookup, metric bookkeeping, earliest-timestamp updates, and count updates.
-4. Longer term: split ingest from query indexing.
-   - Append to a write-optimized memtable/WAL first, then seal/index asynchronously.
-
-## Notes
-
-- These measurements were taken from targeted instrumentation rather than sampling profiler output.
-- The repository was restored to a clean state after profiling.

 ## Overview
 
-`SimpleMapStore` uses an **epoch-partitioned inverted index** to store precomputed aggregates. Three VictoriaMetrics-inspired optimizations are applied on top of the basic label-primary layout:
+`SimpleMapStore` uses an **epoch-partitioned columnar store** with label interning. The design applies six optimizations targeting the two most expensive paths: ingestion and range scan.
 
-1. **Label Interning** — label combinations are mapped to compact `MetricID` (u32), reducing key size and hash cost.
-2. **Epoch Partitioning** — data is split into fixed-capacity epoch slots; the oldest epoch is dropped O(1) when the cap is exceeded (CircularBuffer policy).
-3. **Sorted Vec Posting Lists** — the reverse index (`window_to_ids`) stores `Vec<MetricID>` maintained in sorted order, enabling binary-search deduplication on insert and cache-friendly iteration on lookup.
+| Opt | What | Where |
+|-----|------|-------|
+| 1 | Lazy `window_to_ids` index — built on first exact query, invalidated cheaply on insert | `MutableEpoch` |
+| 2 | Offset-based index — stores `u32` column offsets, not `Arc` clones | `MutableEpoch::exact_query` |
+| 3 | Monotonic ingest fast path — skip `HashSet` probe for consecutive same-window inserts | `MutableEpoch::insert` |
+| 4 | Batch metadata hoisting — config lookup, label interning, timestamp update moved out of per-item loop | `global.rs`, `per_key.rs` |
+| 5 | Columnar storage — three parallel arrays; range scan hot loop touches only `windows_col` | `MutableEpoch` |
+| 6 | Pre-allocated epoch buffers — `with_capacity(prev_epoch.len())` on rotation | `maybe_rotate_epoch` |

-2. For each epoch in `epochs.values()`:
-   - Skip if `min_tr.0 > end || max_tr.1 < start` (epoch range check, O(1) via BTreeSet first/last)
-   - For each label in `label_map`, call `btree.range((start, 0)..=(end, u64::MAX))`, filter `tr.1 <= end`
-   - Stream results directly into a `MetricBucketMap` (grouped by MetricID, no intermediate flat vec)
-3. Resolve MetricIDs → label strings in one pass via `InternTable`
-4. Lock inner `Mutex` briefly to update `read_counts`

Subject: [PATCH 22/27] fix: match legacy per-window CircularBuffer eviction
 semantics

The epoch-based rotation was dropping an entire epoch (epoch_capacity
windows) when the retention limit was exceeded. Legacy evicts exactly
(total - retention_limit) windows, which can be fewer than one full epoch.

Fix: after sealing, compute total distinct windows across all epochs in
O(E) using SealedEpoch::distinct_window_count() (precomputed at seal time,
updated in remove_windows). Evict the minimum number of oldest windows
from the oldest sealed epoch(s) needed to reach retention_limit, dropping
the epoch only when fully emptied.

Also adds the eviction check to the non-rotation path so the 9th window
(still in the current partial epoch) triggers eviction of the 1st window.

Fixes: contract_global and contract_per_key (both now pass).

Subject: [PATCH 25/27] fix: restore legacy store files to simple_store_opt
 baseline

These files were modified during early development on this branch but
those changes were superseded by the new global.rs/per_key.rs stores.
Reset to simple_store_opt versions so they don't appear as unintended
changes in the PR.

Subject: [PATCH 26/27] fix: update legacy stores to return Arc<dyn
 AggregateCore> and fix mod ordering

Legacy global/per_key stores were returning Box from clone_boxed_core() but
TimestampedBucket now expects Arc. Add .into() at the 4 call sites. Also
reorder mod.rs to put `mod common` before `pub mod legacy` for cargo fmt.

Subject: [PATCH 27/27] fix: declare global and per_key as modules so common.rs
 items are reachable

Without pub mod global and pub mod per_key in mod.rs, the compiler sees all
types in common.rs as dead code and fails under -D warnings.
