ScoreCache held 437 entries × ~1.94 MiB each (~850 MiB per pod) of
{band_mhz, valid_time} grids — data already on NFS as compact .prop
files. NotifyListener and ScoreCacheReconciler both eagerly materialised
every band into ETS on each Rust completion / 60s sweep, so 5 hot
replicas wasted ~4.2 GiB of redundant cache and OOMed at 6 GiB.
Bound the cache to 32 entries with eviction by oldest valid_time, drop
the eager warm loops, and let LiveView callers lazy-fill via the
existing ScoresFile read path. ScoreCacheReconciler had no remaining
purpose and is deleted; runbook + prom_ex counters updated to match.
Steady-state cache footprint ~60 MiB per pod instead of ~850 MiB.
pg_stat_user_tables tracks two timestamps — `last_autoanalyze`
is only bumped by the autovacuum daemon, while `last_analyze` is
bumped by manual ANALYZE statements (including the ones our Task
issues). The previous query only filtered on `last_autoanalyze`,
so on a re-run within the skip_recent window every manually-
analyzed table came back for another ANALYZE pass.
Uses `GREATEST(last_analyze, last_autoanalyze)` so fresh manual
analyses count as recent.
Running ANALYZE serially against the 13M-row HRRR monthly partitions
took longer than the kubectl exec idle timeout (~300s per partition
on the Turing Pi 2), so the one-shot RPC kept getting killed before
the big partitions ran. Moves the loop into a supervised Task on
the caller's node so the RPC returns immediately; the BEAM keeps
running ANALYZE regardless of kubectl connection state.
Also sorts tables ascending by n_live_tup so small tables finish
first and their fresh stats are visible to the planner right away.
Progress is logged per table via `Logger.info`.
Two issues spotted in pg_stat_user_tables:
1. Most `hrrr_profiles` partitions have `last_autoanalyze IS NULL`.
The partitions are append-only from the hourly grid worker, so
autovacuum never crosses the analyze threshold — but without
stats the planner falls back to estimates and picks bad joins
on per-QSO lookups.
2. `contacts`, `grid_tasks`, `hrrr_fetch_tasks`, and
`contact_common_volume_radar` see high UPDATE volumes
(enrichment status flips, queue claim/complete cycles, mechanism
classifier writes) but only accrue ~5% dead before the default
20% / 10% autovacuum triggers fire. BackfillEnqueueWorker's
status-priority ORDER BY + the Rust workers' FOR UPDATE SKIP
LOCKED claim scan both want fresher stats than that.
Changes:
- Migration `20260424204656_tune_autovacuum_for_high_churn` sets
per-table `autovacuum_*_scale_factor` + `_threshold = 50` on the
four tables above. Aggressive enough to keep stats current;
tame enough that vacuum doesn't thrash the Turing Pi 2 Postgres
node. Reversible.
- `Weather.analyze_all/1` walks `pg_stat_user_tables`, runs
`ANALYZE` on every table not auto-analyzed in the last 6 h,
reports counts. Meant to be invoked once via
`bin/microwaveprop rpc 'Microwaveprop.Weather.analyze_all()'`
after deploy to seed statistics on the cold partitions;
idempotent on re-run.
The three tables on /status (Job Queue, Rust Workers, Table Sizes)
were collapsing to fit the viewport on narrow phones, wrapping
header text ("Siz…") and splitting values like "160 GB" into two
lines ("160." / "GB"). The overflow-x-auto wrappers were already
present but column auto-sizing still squeezed width below content.
Adds `whitespace-nowrap` to each `<table>` so cells never wrap, and
`-mx-2 px-2` on the overflow wrapper so horizontal scroll extends
edge-to-edge of the mobile viewport instead of being inset by the
layout's outer padding. Tables now scroll horizontally as intended
on mobile; desktop layout unchanged.
Root cause of the "81,980 / 81,994" display that wouldn't advance:
14 contacts had pos1 inside the HRRR CONUS grid but pos2 or the
great-circle midpoint landed outside it (50°N+ into Canada, mid-
Atlantic, Pacific, Caribbean, Alaska). The Rust hrrr-point-worker
silently returns no profile for OCONUS points, so
`hrrr_data_fully_present?/1` never evaluated true and the contact
sat `:queued` forever.
The existing ContactWeatherEnqueueWorker.mark_hrrr_status!/3 already
flips to `:unavailable` on empty job lists via NarrClient.in_coverage?
+ Grid.contains?(pos1), but those checks only considered pos1 — not
the full contact_path_points list. When pos1 was in-grid but a
downstream point was not, the contact entered `:queued` and the
reconciler couldn't rescue it.
`reconcile_hrrr_statuses/0` now sweeps `:queued` contacts into two
buckets:
- ANY path point OCONUS → `:unavailable` (matches what the enqueuer
would emit had it known about the downstream points);
- else, all points present → `:complete`.
Applied once in prod to 14 stuck contacts; cron path picks up any
new occurrences going forward.
The Rust hrrr_points worker now persists surface_refractivity /
min_refractivity_gradient / ducting_detected at upsert time (previous
commit), but the ~80k rows written before that fix have the scalar
columns NULL even though the pressure-level `profile` JSONB is
populated. Re-fetching them would re-pull tens of GB of HRRR grids
we already parsed.
Weather.backfill_hrrr_scalars/1 streams rows with
`surface_refractivity IS NULL`, runs the existing
SoundingParams.derive/1 against the stored profile, and writes the
scalars back — no network, no GRIB decode. Batched (500 rows per
tick, 1000 tick cap) to keep transactions short on the Turing Pi 2
PG node.
Meant to be run once via `bin/microwaveprop rpc` after deploy.
Idempotent; the WHERE clause excludes already-backfilled rows.
Found by auditing the ProfilesFile, hrrr_profiles, and weather-layer
contracts against what the Rust writers actually emit.
Bug 1 (HIGH) — Rust `hrrr_points` worker upserted hrrr_profiles rows
with NULL `surface_refractivity`, `min_refractivity_gradient`, and
`ducting_detected`. The Elixir HrrrClient path always wrote them
via SoundingParams.derive. Per-QSO pages that rely on these
scalars ("N:", "dN/dh:", duct badge) showed "—" for any contact
enriched through Stream C. Fixed by porting
`surface_refractivity` + `ducting_detected` into Rust's
`sounding_params.rs` and deriving at upsert time.
Bug 2 (HIGH) — Rust f01..f18 `cell_to_profile_entry` never emitted
wind_u / wind_v / cloud_cover_pct / precip_mm into ProfilesFile
cells. `Propagation.factors_for` recomputes factor scores from the
profile cell on /map click, and these four fields are read
(wind_speed_kts, sky_cover_pct, precip_to_rate_mmhr). Result: every
f01..f18 point-detail popup showed 0 for wind/sky/rain factors.
Fixed by extracting the grib values at cell_to_profile_entry time
and whitelisting the keys for atomization in
profiles_file.ex `@mp_atom_keys`.
Bug 4 (MEDIUM) — `WeatherLayers.duct_field/2` only knew the
`SoundingParams.detect_ducts` shape (`d["base"]` / `d["strength"]`).
The Rust/HrrrNativeClient shape uses `:base_m` / `:thickness_m`
atom keys (post-ProfilesFile.read atomization). On /weather, the
Duct Base / Duct Strength layers returned nil for every Rust-origin
cell. Tolerant lookup now reads either shape; uses `thickness_m`
as the "strength" proxy for the native shape (thicker duct traps
a wider band).
Skipped (verified but lower impact):
- Rust ProfilesFile aggregates ducts as scalars, not per-layer — the
`ducts` array in the popup is always empty. Requires larger
DuctMetrics refactor in Rust; deferred.
- `complete_hrrr_task` emits no NOTIFY (vs `complete` which does).
Elixir has no matching listener yet, so adding NOTIFY alone is a
no-op; the existing cron reconciler catches it.
- `:best_duct_band_ghz` fallback in propagation.ex is dead code;
cleanup, not a bug.
133 Rust tests + 2842 Elixir tests + credo green.
The Rust f01..f18 pipeline writes ProfilesFile cells, and the Rust
hrrr_points worker writes hrrr_profiles rows, with profile entries
keyed "pres_mb" / "hght_m" / "tmpc" / "dwpc" (string keys pre-
atomization; atom keys post-ProfilesFile.read). Elixir's
SoundingParams.derive and WeatherLayers.sort_profile filtered on
"pres" / "hght" — so every derived field returned nil for any
Rust-provided profile.
Visible symptoms on /weather: N-gradient, Refractivity, T @ 850mb,
Td @ 850mb, Lapse Rate, Inversion, Inv. Base all rendered no overlay.
For per-contact analysis, min_refractivity_gradient from the Rust
HRRR point worker's rows silently dropped.
- SoundingParams.normalize_profile_entry/1: single-source normalizer
accepting legacy, Rust-string, and Rust-atom shapes; returns the
canonical "pres"/"hght"/"tmpc"/"dwpc"/"drct"/"sknt" shape.
- SoundingParams.derive/1 and WeatherLayers.sort_profile/1 both run
every entry through it before the rest of the existing logic.
- Weather.build_grid_cache_row/4 now falls back to native_min_gradient
when SoundingParams can't derive one (surface-only profiles).
Also:
- Default /weather overlay changed to Temperature (LiveView assign +
JS fallback in the hook's dataset default) per user request.
Extends the weather-status reconciler with symmetric sweeps for HRRR
and IEMRE. Same failure mode: the worker writes data to the shared
table but has no back-pointer to the contact that triggered the
fetch, so contact-level status never flips unless a user views the
page.
- Weather.reconcile_iemre_statuses/0: iterates :queued contacts;
flips :complete when every path point has an iemre_observations
row at the rounded 0.125° grid cell for the qso_timestamp's date.
- Weather.reconcile_hrrr_statuses/0: same shape; flips when
hrrr_data_fully_present?/1 holds.
- Both run alongside the existing weather sweep at the tail of
ContactWeatherEnqueueWorker.perform/1.
Kept in Elixir (not SQL) because contact_path_points/1 emits 1-3
points per contact and grid-rounding each in pure SQL is awkward.
The stuck-at-steady-state count is always tiny (<20), so the
iteration is cheap.
2,019 contacts sat permanently in weather_status=:queued even after
their ASOS data had been ingested. The only code path that flipped
:queued → :complete was MicrowavepropWeb.ContactLive.Show on page
view — contacts that nobody visited stayed :queued forever.
Adds Weather.reconcile_weather_statuses/0, a single SQL UPDATE that
flips every :queued contact whose ±2h / 150km window now contains
at least one surface observation. Called at the tail of the
existing ContactWeatherEnqueueWorker cron so the correction runs
regardless of whether anyone opens the UI.
Visible effect: the status page's "Weather done" count (previously
capped at 79,975 while data kept landing) will converge on the real
total after the next cron tick.
2838 tests + credo green.
Replaces per-QSO-endpoint asos_batch granularity with per-station-day
granularity. Each contact in the same UTC day near the same station
now produces identical unique-args and collapses to ONE Oban job, so
the backlog shrinks as cross-contact duplicates dedup.
Each fetch also covers a full 24h window (vs the previous 4h) so one
IEM request returns ~24 hourly observations instead of ~1-2. The
effective bytes-per-request is 10x higher, amortizing the
IemRateLimiter gap + 429 retry tail across far more data.
Changes:
- Weather.station_day_covered?/2 + station_day_pairs_covered/1 — cheap
UTC-day coverage checks for the enqueuer + worker skip paths.
- WeatherFetchWorker gains an "asos_day" clause that fetches the full
UTC day for one station and upserts. Skips if the day is already
covered in the DB.
- ContactWeatherEnqueueWorker.build_asos_jobs/3 now emits one asos_day
job per (station_id, UTC date) pair. ±2h windows crossing midnight
enumerate both dates.
- Microwaveprop.Weather.RebatchAsos.to_day_jobs/1 migrates any
already-queued asos/asos_batch jobs into the new shape. Idempotent;
supports dry_run.
- asos_batch worker clause retained for jobs already in flight at
deploy time.
2835 tests + credo green.
Mix.Task.run isn't available in a compiled release, so the in-prod
`bin/microwaveprop eval 'Mix.Tasks.Weather.RebatchAsos.run(...)'`
dispatch crashes. Moves the real logic into a plain module
(`Microwaveprop.Weather.RebatchAsos`) that both the Mix task and a
release eval can call. Uses IO.puts over Mix.shell for the same
reason.
- IemRateLimiter gains AIMD-style adaptive spacing. signal_429/0
widens the current gap (*= 1.5, capped at max_interval_ms default
10s); signal_success/0 narrows it back toward the configured base
(*= 0.92, floored at interval_ms). Self-tunes to IEM's moving
ceiling without needing the manual "safe for 4 pods" constant.
- IemClient now routes every response through a central handle_response
helper that fires the widen/narrow feedback signals, eliminating the
four near-identical case blocks.
- Mix.Tasks.Weather.RebatchAsos collapses any already-queued single-
station "asos" jobs into the batched "asos_batch" shape the
enqueuer now emits, so the pending backfill queue converts to the
new per-request-efficient path instead of draining at the old rate.
Idempotent; supports --dry-run.
2833 tests + credo green.
IEM's ASOS CSV endpoint accepts multiple station= params in a single
request. Prior code enqueued one WeatherFetchWorker job per nearby
station per QSO endpoint — N jobs × 1 station each — which paid the
IemRateLimiter's 1500ms gap and the IEM 429-retry tail N times per
contact.
Changes:
- IemClient.asos_url/3 accepts a list of station codes.
- IemClient.fetch_asos_batch/3 fetches N stations in one call and
returns rows grouped by station_code (with absent codes filled as
empty lists so callers can stub them).
- parse_asos_csv/1 now exposes the station_code column it was
previously discarding.
- WeatherFetchWorker gains an "asos_batch" fetch_type clause that
unpacks rows per (station_id, station_code), upserting or stubbing
each. The single-station "asos" clause stays for already-queued
retryable jobs.
- ContactWeatherEnqueueWorker.build_asos_jobs/3 now emits one batch
job per (lat, lon, 4h window) covering every uncovered nearby
station (sorted for deterministic unique-args).
Expected effect on backfill: ~10-20x fewer IEM requests per contact
enrichment cycle, matching drop in 429 retry traffic.
Removes the six OTel packages (opentelemetry, _api, _exporter,
_phoenix, _oban, _bandit) and their 9 transitive deps. Tracing was
only wired for Phoenix/Bandit/Oban auto-instrumentation — PromEx
already covers the metrics we actually use on the status page +
Grafana. Also drops the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT env var and
its comment block from both deployment manifests.
No translations are actually maintained and no UI is shipped in a
non-English locale. Replaced the handful of gettext(...) calls in
core_components + layouts with their literal English strings, and
rewrote translate_error/1 as a small %{key} interpolator over the
Ecto changeset error tuple.
Removes gettext + expo (compile dep). sutra_ui stays — it's a
transitive dep of live_table's TableComponent.
- chrono: drop "serde" (no DateTime serde serialization in code)
- uuid: drop "serde" (no Uuid serde serialization in code)
- sqlx: drop "macros" (no compile-time sqlx::query! macros in use)
- reqwest 0.12 → 0.13: rustls-tls feature renamed to rustls
- png 0.17 → 0.18: output_buffer_size() returns Option<usize>
- axum 0.7 → 0.8, prometheus 0.13 → 0.14, rayon 1.10 → 1.12: no code changes
- drop unused bincode dep; the .bincode golden fixture is raw binary
parsed via byteorder, not the bincode crate
Root cause of the deadlock prod hit today:
- prop-backfill's podAntiAffinity matched `app: prop`, which applies to
backfill pods themselves as well as hot pods.
- The hot Deployment runs maxSurge=1/maxUnavailable=1 with HPA min 2 /
max 5; when HPA was pegged at max and a rollout began, the old
ReplicaSet's requiredDuringScheduling/IgnoredDuringExecution rule
stayed pinned on every already-running hot pod.
- backfill's rule then excluded new hot pods from every physical host
that had an app=prop pod on it, which was all of them, and the
rollout couldn't progress because no old hot pod could come down
until a new one went Ready first.
Narrowing the selector to `{app: prop, tier: hot}` means:
- backfill never constrains itself (it carries tier=backfill).
- Hot pods carry no anti-affinity of their own, so HPA can continue
past the 4-physical-host count by co-locating when it has to.
- Backfill still lands on whichever physical host hot pods haven't
filled up, which is the original intent.
Final coverage round: 84.44% → 86.18% (target was 85%).
Two lib_ml/ tasks were stranded at 0% (1035 combined lines) because
the qsos → contacts table rename left stale refs in
PropagationAnalyze's SQL. Fixed:
- `FROM qsos q` → `FROM contacts q`
- `terrain_profiles tp ON tp.qso_id = q.id` → `tp.contact_id = q.id`
Adds test/mix/tasks/propagation_ml_tasks_test.exs with 4 tests:
- PropagationAnalyze end-to-end against empty DB (walks every section
header: correlation, binned factor, interaction, close).
- PropagationAnalyze with seeded contact + matching HRRR at both
endpoints yields a 1-row dataset (exercises derive_averages +
format_band + median + percentile helpers).
- PropagationAnalyze with a pre-2016-06-30 contact is excluded by the
WHERE clause.
- PropagationTrain on empty hrrr_profiles raises the expected Nx
"cannot build empty tensor" error after walking header + load path.
215 → 221 properties, 2812 → 2846 tests, 0 failures.
Two user-visible crashes in MapLive seen on prod pods today:
1. `:preload_forecast` handle_info timed out a Task.async_stream subtask
after 10 s and the `Enum.map(fn {:ok, h} -> h end)` match cascaded
the `:exit, :timeout` into the LiveView process, terminating the
session. Adds `on_timeout: :kill_task` and flat-maps only :ok
elements — a slow NFS forecast hour now drops from the preload
payload instead of killing the LV.
2. `LiveStash.stash/1` crashed with `** (ArgumentError) errors were
found at the given arguments: 2nd argument: not a valid match
specification` inside `:ets.select_replace/2` on OTP 28. The dep
(live_stash 0.2.0) has a latent bug against the tightened OTP 28
match-spec validator. Both call sites (MapLive.select_band,
SubmitLive.switch_tab) now route through a new
`MicrowavepropWeb.LiveStashGuard.stash/1` wrapper that rescues
ArgumentError, logs a warning, and returns the socket unchanged.
Stash is a convenience for reconnect state — failing it does not
need to kill the user's session.
Drop the guard module once the upstream match-spec fix lands.
