feat(cluster): resumable peer-replication transfers (#398)

[xe-nvdk]

Summary

• Failed peer-replication file transfers now resume from the last committed byte instead of restarting from zero — especially valuable for large compacted Parquet outputs on slow or flaky links
• New ByteOffset field on FetchFileRequest/FetchFileAckHeader (omitempty); HMAC does not bind the offset (path is already bound)
• AppendingBackend optional interface replaces a mandatory AppendReader method that S3/Azure would always reject — puller type-asserts and falls back gracefully
• bad_offset counter split into bad_offset_server (AckCodeBadOffset) and bad_offset_backend (ErrResumeNotSupported) for cleaner observability
• Post-review refactors: tryResumeFromPartial helper, writeFileTail extracted, pipe goroutine uses sync.WaitGroup, coordinator uses ReadToAt unconditionally

Test plan

• go test ./internal/cluster/filereplication/... — all existing + new tests pass (resume happy path, AckCodeBadOffset, offset echo mismatch, partial file retry, bad-offset deletes partial)
• go test ./internal/storage/... — ReadToAt, StatFile, AppendReader on LocalBackend
• go test ./internal/cluster/... — integration test: full fetch round-trip still works
• go build ./... — clean build
• Manual: interrupt a large file transfer mid-way, confirm second attempt resumes from offset (not from zero)
• Manual: S3/Azure backend confirms full re-fetch fallback (no partial file left behind)

Code Review

This pull request implements resumable file transfers for cluster replication by introducing ReadToAt, StatFile, and AppendReader methods to the storage backends. The Puller is updated to detect partial files, verify their integrity via prefix hashing, and request only the remaining data from peers. Review feedback indicates a significant issue where the LocalBackend's atomic write strategy prevents partial files from being preserved, effectively disabling the resume feature for local storage. Suggestions were also made to optimize the resume check by verifying AppendingBackend support before hashing and to refine the Azure storage implementation to avoid unnecessary Range headers for full-file fetches.

[gemini-code-assist]

The resume feature appears to be non-functional for the LocalBackend because WriteReader (called for the initial transfer at offset 0) is atomic. It writes to a temporary file and deletes it on failure (see internal/storage/local.go:181). Consequently, no partial file is left at entry.Path for tryResumeFromPartial to discover on subsequent attempts. To support resumption, the initial write strategy needs to preserve partial data (e.g., by using a persistent .part file that is not cleaned up on transport errors).

[gemini-code-assist]

tryResumeFromPartial should check if the backend implements storage.AppendingBackend before proceeding to hash the prefix. For backends like S3 or Azure that do not support appending, hashing the local partial file (which might involve a full download if the backend is remote) is a wasted operation, as writeFileTail will eventually reject the resume attempt with ErrResumeNotSupported.

if _, ok := p.cfg.Backend.(storage.AppendingBackend); !ok {
		return 0, nil
	}

	h := sha256.New()

[gemini-code-assist]

For consistency with the S3 implementation (line 299 in internal/storage/s3.go), it is recommended to avoid sending the Range header when offset is 0. This ensures the standard full-blob download path is used.

Suggested change

	resp, err := blobClient.DownloadStream(ctx, &blob.DownloadStreamOptions{
	Range: blob.HTTPRange{Offset: offset},
	})
	var downloadOpts *blob.DownloadStreamOptions
	if offset > 0 {
	downloadOpts = &blob.DownloadStreamOptions{
	Range: blob.HTTPRange{Offset: offset},
	}
	}
	resp, err := blobClient.DownloadStream(ctx, downloadOpts)

[gemini-code-assist]

The fakeBackend implementation of WriteReader in tests is non-atomic and stores partial bytes on failure. This is inconsistent with the real LocalBackend implementation, which is atomic and cleans up partial writes. This discrepancy masks the issue where the resume feature cannot actually function with the current LocalBackend.

@gemini-code-assist All findings from your previous review have been addressed in the latest push. Here's a summary of the fixes:

HIGH — LocalBackend.WriteReader non-resumable (staging file deleted on error)
WriteReader now writes to a deterministic <path>.part staging file (replacing the random .tmp). On transport error the staging file is left in place so the puller can discover it via StatFile/ReadToAt and resume on the next attempt. On success it is atomically renamed to the final path. Unit test updated to exercise the full failed-write → append-tail → promote flow.

MEDIUM — Azure ReadToAt sends Range header at offset=0
ReadToAt now only sets DownloadStreamOptions{Range: ...} when offset > 0. At offset=0 it passes nil (no Range header), matching the S3 behaviour and avoiding a spurious 400 from Azure Blob Storage.

MEDIUM — tryResumeFromPartial skips resume for non-AppendingBackend backends
Removed the premature AppendingBackend type-assertion early-return from tryResumeFromPartial. Non-appendable backends (S3, Azure) now correctly: detect a partial file → return a non-zero offset → hit ErrResumeNotSupported in writeFileTail → increment bad_offset_backend → delete the partial → retry from zero. New TestPuller_NonAppendingBackendFallback test verifies the full path.

fakeBackend staging semantics
fakeBackend in puller_test.go now mirrors LocalBackend's .part staging key semantics (WriteReader stores partial bytes under path+".part", AppendReader appends and promotes on full receipt, Delete cleans up both keys). Duplicate Delete method merged.

Please re-review when you get a chance. Thanks!

Code Review

This pull request introduces resumable file transfers to the replication system, enabling interrupted downloads to continue from the last committed byte. It extends the storage Backend interface with ReadToAt and StatFile methods and adds an AppendingBackend interface specifically for local-SSD storage. The Puller has been updated to identify partial files, verify their existing content via prefix hashing, and request only the missing data from peers. Review feedback highlights a logic error in prefix hashing for local storage, suggests scaling the hashing timeout for large files, and identifies a race condition in the file-opening sequence of the local backend.

[gemini-code-assist]

A fixed 30-second timeout for hashing the partial file prefix may be insufficient for very large files (e.g., several gigabytes), especially on systems with slow or heavily contended disk I/O. Since this operation is local and essential for resuming large transfers, consider using a more generous timeout or one scaled by the expected file size.
