Go calls v.DataBackend.Close() and sets DataBackend=nil after removing
the remote file reference. Without this, the stale remote backend
state lingers and reads may not discover the newly downloaded local
.dat file until server restart.
Go calls v.LoadRemoteFile() after saving volume info, which closes
the local DataBackend before transitioning to remote storage. Without
this, the volume holds a stale file handle to the deleted local .dat
file, causing reads to fail until server restart.
Go's State.Update saves VolumeServerState to a state.pb file after
each SetState call, and rolls back the in-memory state if persistence
fails. Rust was only updating in-memory atomics, so maintenance mode
would be lost on server restart. Now saves protobuf-encoded state.pb
and loads it on startup.
Go validates that dataShards is > 0 and <= MaxShardCount before
proceeding with EC-to-volume reconstruction. Without this check,
a zero or excessively large data_shards value could cause confusing
downstream failures.
Go returns an error when the needle blob is too small for timestamp
patching. Rust was silently skipping the patch and writing the blob
with a stale/zero timestamp, which could cause data integrity issues
during incremental replication that relies on AppendAtNs ordering.
Go's MarkVolumeWritable only sets noWriteOrDelete=false and persists.
Rust was additionally setting no_write_can_delete=has_remote_file,
which could incorrectly change the write mode for remote-file volumes
when the master explicitly asks to make the volume writable.
Go's SaveVolumeInfo always computes ExpireAtSec = now + ttlSeconds
when the volume has a TTL. The save_vif path (used by set_read_only
and set_writable) was missing this computation, causing .vif files
to be written without the correct expiration timestamp for TTL volumes.
Go only computes the MD5 of uncompressed data when a Content-MD5
header or multipart field is provided. Rust was always computing and
returning it. Also fix the mismatch error message to include size,
matching Go's format.
Go's shouldResizeImages condition is `width > 0 || height > 0`, so
`?width=0` correctly evaluates to false. Rust was using `is_some()`
which made `?width=0` evaluate to true, unnecessarily disabling
streaming reads for those requests.
Go's CommitCompactVolume (store_vacuum.go L53-54) checks
s.isStopping before committing compaction to prevent file
swaps during shutdown. The Rust handler was missing this
check, which could allow compaction commits while the
server is stopping.
Go's CreateNeedleFromRequest sets HasName and HasMime flags even when
the filename or MIME type is empty (len < 256 is true for len 0).
Rust skipped empty values, causing the on-disk needle format to
differ: Go-written needles include extra bytes for the empty name/mime
size fields, changing the serialized needle size in the idx entry.
This ensures binary format compatibility between Go and Rust servers.
Go reads the first part's data unconditionally, then looks for a
part with a filename. If none found, Go uses the first part's data
(with empty filename). Rust only captured parts with filenames, so
when no part had a filename it fell back to the raw multipart body
bytes (including boundary delimiters), producing corrupt needle data.
Go sets Last-Modified, needle pairs, and S3 pass-through headers on
the response writer BEFORE calling tryHandleChunkedFile. Since the
Rust chunk manifest handler created fresh response headers and
returned early, these headers were missing from chunk manifest
responses. Now passes last_modified_str into the chunk manifest
handler and applies pairs and S3 pass-through query params
(response-cache-control, response-content-encoding, etc.) to the
chunk manifest response headers.
TrackedBody (used for download throttling) did not implement
size_hint(), causing HTTP/1.1 to fall back to chunked transfer
encoding instead of setting Content-Length. Go always sets
Content-Length explicitly for non-range responses.
Go's parseURLPath extracts the file extension from all URL formats
including 2-segment paths like /vid,fid.jpg. The Rust version only
handled 3-segment paths (/vid/fid/filename.ext), so extensions in
2-segment paths were lost. This caused image resize/crop operations
requested via query params to be silently skipped for those paths.
Go returns "file over the limited %d bytes" with the actual limit
value included. Rust returned a generic "file size limit exceeded"
without the limit value, making it harder to debug.
Go's writeJsonQuiet checks for callback (JSONP) and pretty query
parameters on all JSON responses including write success. The Rust
write success path used axum::Json directly, bypassing JSONP and
pretty-print support. Now uses json_result_with_query to match Go.
Go's UploadResult uses json:"name,omitempty" and json:"size,omitempty",
omitting these fields from JSON when they are zero values (empty
string / 0). The Rust struct always serialized them, producing
"name":"" and "size":0 where Go would omit them.
Go reads the full needle body for all entries including tombstones
(deleted needles with size=0) to extract the actual AppendAtNs
timestamp. The Rust version returned 0 early for size <= 0 entries,
which would cause the binary search in incremental copy to produce
incorrect results for positions containing deleted needles.
Now uses get_actual_size to compute the on-disk size (which handles
tombstones correctly) and only returns 0 when the actual size is 0.
Go checks contentSize <= SuperBlockSize to detect empty volumes (no
needles). Rust used < which would incorrectly allow a volume with
exactly SuperBlockSize bytes (header only, no data) to proceed to
the TTL expiry check and potentially be marked as expired.
Go's EcVolume.Destroy() removes .ecx, .ecj, and .vif files. The Rust
version only removed .ecx and .ecj, leaving orphaned .vif files on
disk after EC volume destruction (e.g., after TTL expiry).
Go's EcVolume.Sync() flushes both the .ecj journal and the .ecx index
to disk. The Rust version only flushed .ecj, leaving in-place deletion
marks in .ecx unpersisted until close(). This could cause data
inconsistency if the server crashes after marking a needle deleted in
.ecx but before close().
Go's r.FormValue() cannot read multipart text fields after
r.MultipartReader() consumes the body, so ts/ttl sent as multipart
form fields only work with the Rust volume server. Skip this test
when VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL != "rust" to fix CI failure.
Go checks extraSize > 256*256-2 and calls glog.Fatalf to prevent
corrupt super block headers. Rust was silently truncating via u16 cast,
which would write an incorrect extra_size field.
Go calls ev.ecxFile.Sync() before closing to ensure in-place deletion
marks are flushed to disk. Without this, deletion marks written via
MarkNeedleDeleted could be lost on crash.
Go sets ev.Version = needle.Version(volumeInfo.Version) from the .vif
file. Rust was always using Version::current() (V3), which would produce
wrong needle actual size calculations for volumes created with V1 or V2.
Go's r.ParseForm() returns HTTP 400 with "form parse error: ..." when
the query string is malformed. Rust was silently falling back to empty
query params via unwrap_or_default().
Go sets ETag at L235 AFTER the If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match
304 return paths, so Go's 304 responses do not include the ETag header.
The Rust code was incorrectly including ETag in both 304 response paths.
Go maps both "" and "hdd" to HardDriveType (empty string). The
Rust enum variant is HardDrive, not Hdd. The test referenced a
nonexistent Hdd variant causing compilation failure.
Go's Shutdown() calls vs.store.Close() which closes all volumes
and flushes file handles. The Rust server was relying on process
exit for cleanup, which could leave data unflushed.
