From dd8ed5cf6c29ab363edf1006efdfb0d632cdd38c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bukhtawar Khan Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 16:21:12 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Make DiskManager max_temp_directory_size dynamically adjustable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Change `max_temp_directory_size` from `u64` to `AtomicU64` and add a new `update_max_temp_directory_size(&self)` method that allows adjusting the spill disk limit at runtime without requiring exclusive access. The existing `set_max_temp_directory_size(&mut self)` is preserved unchanged for backward compatibility. The new method enables: - Adaptive spill limits based on available disk space - Runtime cluster setting changes without restart - Graceful degradation under disk pressure The `set_arc_max_temp_directory_size` now falls through to the atomic path when `Arc::get_mut` fails (multiple references exist), instead of returning an error. When the limit is decreased below current usage: - Existing spill files remain (not deleted — would break running queries) - New spill writes fail immediately (used > new limit) - As old queries complete, usage naturally drops below the new limit - New spills succeed once usage < limit Performance: `AtomicU64::load(Acquire)` adds ~1ns per spill write check. Spill writes take milliseconds — negligible impact.
