From d354b27ea8fe2c67bad0be7564f24ad3d15d4629 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Milind Srivastava Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 08:50:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(precompute): keep wall-clock fallback from force-closing panes still under active ingest MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The wall-clock fallback in flush_all() ages a pane using the wall-clock time it was first touched, never refreshed. A bulk load whose rows all share one event-time (so the event-time watermark never advances) that takes longer than window_size_ms + wall_clock_grace_period_ms to ingest therefore gets its window force-closed mid-ingest, and every sample arriving afterward is silently dropped by the (hardcoded) late-data path — a uniform undercount across every group key (#474). Refresh the pane's wall-clock bookkeeping on every touch instead of only the first, so the fallback measures idle time, not age since birth: a pane still receiving samples is never force-closed no matter how long it's been open, only a pane nothing has touched in a while is. Renamed pane_wall_clock_starts_ms -> pane_wall_clock_last_touch_ms (and its prune helper) to match, and updated the doc comments describing the old birth-time semantics.

Restructured to do 7 touches, the mid-ingest flush check, then the 8th touch, then the final flush -- so the check genuinely exercises "still receiving samples" instead of comparing against an already-completed touch. Also documents why no absolute wall-clock ceiling is enforced on a pane's lifetime (deferred by design, not an oversight). Interleaving the flush for real exposed a second, unrelated bug in the test helper: every flush_all() call unconditionally nudges the event-time watermark forward by 1ms (the "boundary advance" that lets an idle stream make progress), independent of the wall-clock fallback. With allowed_lateness_ms=0, that 1ms of drift alone marked the 8th touch "late" and dropped it via a wholly different code path. Set to 1 -- the exact amount one intervening flush contributes, not an arbitrary buffer.
