What problem does this PR solve?

SPFresh vector search needs a synchronized protocol for pushed scalar filters, SQL evaluation context, structured results/errors, and bounded response encoding. The existing out-of-tree protocol branch was based before search_beam_size landed, so consumers could accidentally regress that field back to base_beam_size.

What is changed and how it works?

  • Adds filter expression bindings and explicit SQL evaluation semantics.
  • Adds structured SPFresh search result/error responses and response-size budgeting.
  • Consolidates the SPFresh protocol definitions while preserving wire tags.
  • Preserves the upstream search_beam_size field name and generated accessor.

Check List

Tests:

  • go test ./go-tipb/...
  • make go

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for scalar filters, filter-column mappings, evaluation context, and response-size limits in SPFresh searches.
    • Added warning details to successful search results.
    • Added explicit success or error outcomes for search responses.
    • Added teardown request support and new error codes for index corruption and oversized responses.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of missing filter metadata and SQL mode preservation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SPFresh protobuf contract adds search filters, evaluation context, response-size limits, teardown support, structured success/error responses, and two error codes. New tests verify enum values, wire encoding, round-trips, oneof behavior, and error codes.

Changes

SPFresh protocol contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
Search request and evaluation contract
proto/spfresh.proto, proto/spfresh_teardown.proto, go-tipb/spfresh_test.go
SPFreshSearchRequest now carries filter expressions, column mappings, evaluation context, and max_response_bytes. The protocol adds SPFreshTeardownRequest, related enums, and serialization tests.
Search results and error contract
proto/spfresh.proto, go-tipb/spfresh_test.go
SPFreshSearchResponse now uses exclusive success and error results. Successful results include warnings and warning counts. Error codes 9015 and 9016 are defined and tested.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to e6cd2

The response format reuses an existing wire tag, so older consumers may decode successful searches as malformed or empty results. The PR is not merge-ready until the existing response contract is preserved or a versioned endpoint is introduced.

Poem

I’m a rabbit who checks each field,
Wire values hop, precise and sealed.
Success or error, never both,
Warnings ride the result path forth.
Big responses meet their measured byte—
I thump my paws: the schema’s right!

Preserve the existing response wire contract.

Line 106 reuses field tag 1 for SPFreshSearchResult. The previous response used that top-level field for rows. A legacy decoder will parse the success wrapper as SPFreshSearchRow data. It can return malformed rows or no usable rows.

Keep the original top-level response fields and use unused tags for a new variant, or introduce a versioned endpoint before deploying this change.
