FoundationDB Integration Testing

This directory contains integration tests and setup scripts for the FoundationDB filer store in SeaweedFS.

Quick Start

# ✅ GUARANTEED TO WORK - Run reliable tests (no FoundationDB dependencies)
make test-reliable      # Validation + Mock tests

# Run individual test types
make test-mock          # Mock FoundationDB tests (always work)
go test -v ./validation_test.go  # Package structure validation

# 🐳 FULL INTEGRATION (requires Docker + FoundationDB dependencies)
make setup              # Start FoundationDB cluster + SeaweedFS
make test               # Run all integration tests
make test-simple        # Simple containerized test environment

# Clean up
make clean              # Clean main environment
make clean-simple       # Clean simple test environment

# 🍎 ARM64 / APPLE SILICON SUPPORT
make setup-arm64        # Native ARM64 FoundationDB (builds from source)
make setup-emulated     # x86 emulation (faster setup)
make test-arm64         # Test with ARM64 native
make test-emulated      # Test with x86 emulation

Test Levels

1. ✅ Validation Tests (validation_test.go) - Always work, no dependencies
2. ✅ Mock Tests (mock_integration_test.go) - Test FoundationDB store logic with mocks
3. ⚠️ Real Integration Tests (foundationdb_*_test.go) - Require actual FoundationDB cluster

ARM64 / Apple Silicon Support

🍎 For M1/M2/M3 Mac users: FoundationDB's official Docker images are AMD64-only. We provide three solutions:

• Native ARM64 (make setup-arm64) - Downloads official FoundationDB ARM64 packages and builds SeaweedFS natively (≈2-3 min setup, best performance)
• x86 Emulation (make setup-emulated) - Uses Docker emulation (fast setup, slower runtime)
• Mock Testing (make test-mock) - No FoundationDB needed (instant, tests logic only)

The ARM64 setup automatically builds both FoundationDB and SeaweedFS from source using docker-compose.arm64.yml and dedicated ARM64 Dockerfiles. No pre-built images required!

📖 Detailed Guide: See README.ARM64.md for complete ARM64 documentation.

Test Environment

The test environment includes:

• 3-node FoundationDB cluster (fdb1, fdb2, fdb3) for realistic distributed testing
• Database initialization service (fdb-init) that configures the cluster
• SeaweedFS service configured to use the FoundationDB filer store
• Automatic service orchestration with proper startup dependencies

Test Structure

Integration Tests

foundationdb_integration_test.go

• Basic CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
• Directory operations and listing:
  • ListDirectoryEntries - List all entries in a directory
  • ListDirectoryPrefixedEntries - List entries matching a prefix
  • DeleteFolderChildren - Bulk deletion of directory contents
• Transaction handling (begin, commit, rollback)
• Key-Value operations
• Large entry handling with compression
• Error scenarios and edge cases

Note: These tests operate at the filer store level, testing the metadata index operations that underpin S3 bucket listing and directory tree operations.

foundationdb_concurrent_test.go

• Concurrent insert operations across multiple goroutines
• Concurrent read/write operations on shared files
• Concurrent transaction handling with conflict resolution
• Concurrent directory operations
• Concurrent key-value operations
• Stress testing under load

test_fdb_s3.sh - End-to-End S3 Integration Tests

• S3 bucket creation - Create buckets via S3 API
• S3 file upload - Upload files to buckets
• S3 bucket listing (aws s3 ls) - Validates listing operations work correctly
• S3 file download - Retrieve and verify file contents
• S3 file deletion - Delete objects and verify removal
• FoundationDB backend verification - Confirms data is stored in FDB
• Filer directory operations - Direct filer API calls for directory creation/listing

This test validates the complete S3 workflow including the listing operations that were problematic in earlier versions.

Unit Tests (weed/filer/foundationdb/foundationdb_store_test.go)

• Store initialization and configuration
• Key generation and directory prefixes
• Error handling and validation
• Performance benchmarks
• Configuration validation

Configuration

Environment Variables

The tests can be configured using environment variables:

export FDB_CLUSTER_FILE=/var/fdb/config/fdb.cluster
export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_ENABLED=true
export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_API_VERSION=740
export WEED_FOUNDATIONDB_TIMEOUT=10s

Docker Compose Environment Variables

The docker-compose.yml file supports the following optional environment variables with sensible defaults:

# FoundationDB image (default: foundationdb/foundationdb:7.1.61)
export FOUNDATIONDB_IMAGE=foundationdb/foundationdb:7.1.61

# FoundationDB port (default: 4500)
export FDB_PORT=4500

# FoundationDB cluster file contents (default: docker:docker@fdb1:4500,fdb2:4500,fdb3:4500)
export FDB_CLUSTER_FILE_CONTENTS="docker:docker@fdb1:4500,fdb2:4500,fdb3:4500"

# SeaweedFS image (default: chrislusf/seaweedfs:latest)
export SEAWEEDFS_IMAGE=chrislusf/seaweedfs:latest

Note: These variables are optional. If not set, the docker-compose will use the default values shown above, allowing docker-compose up to work out-of-the-box without any .env file or manual configuration.

Docker Compose Configuration

The docker-compose.yml sets up:

1. FoundationDB Cluster: 3 coordinating nodes with data distribution
2. Database Configuration: Single SSD storage class for testing
3. SeaweedFS Integration: Automatic filer store configuration
4. Volume Persistence: Data persists between container restarts

Test Configuration Files

• filer.toml: FoundationDB filer store configuration
• s3.json: S3 API credentials for end-to-end testing
• Makefile: Test automation and environment management

S3 and Listing Operation Coverage

✅ Currently Tested:

• S3 bucket listing (aws s3 ls) - Validated in test_fdb_s3.sh
• Directory metadata listing (ListDirectoryEntries) - Tested in foundationdb_integration_test.go
• Prefix-based listing (ListDirectoryPrefixedEntries) - Tested in foundationdb_integration_test.go
• Filer directory operations - Basic filer API calls in test_fdb_s3.sh
• Metadata index operations - All CRUD operations on directory entries

⚠️ Limited/Future Coverage:

• Recursive tree operations - Not explicitly tested (e.g., weed filer.tree command)
• Large directory stress tests - Listings with thousands of entries not currently benchmarked
• Concurrent listing operations - Multiple simultaneous directory listings under load
• S3 ListObjectsV2 pagination - Large bucket listing with continuation tokens

Recommendation: If experiencing issues with S3 listing operations in production, add stress tests for large directories and concurrent listing scenarios to validate FoundationDB's range scan performance at scale.

• Durability: Data persists across restarts

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. FoundationDB Connection Errors

   # Check cluster status
   make status
   
   # Verify cluster file
   docker-compose exec fdb-init cat /var/fdb/config/fdb.cluster
   

2. Test Failures

   # Check service logs
   make logs-fdb
   make logs-seaweedfs
   
   # Run with verbose output
   go test -v -tags foundationdb ./...
   

3. Performance Issues

   # Check cluster health
   docker-compose exec fdb-init fdbcli --exec 'status details'
   
   # Monitor resource usage
   docker stats
   

4. Docker Issues

   # Clean Docker state
   make clean
   docker system prune -f
   
   # Restart from scratch
   make setup
   

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging for detailed troubleshooting:

# SeaweedFS debug logs
WEED_FILER_OPTIONS_V=2 make test

# FoundationDB debug logs (in fdbcli)
configure new single ssd; status details

Manual Testing

For manual verification:

# Start environment
make dev-fdb

# Connect to FoundationDB
docker-compose exec fdb-init fdbcli

# FDB commands:
# status                    - Show cluster status  
# getrange "" \xFF          - Show all keys
# getrange seaweedfs seaweedfs\xFF  - Show SeaweedFS keys

Listing Operations Return Empty Results

Symptoms: Uploads succeed, direct file reads work, but listing operations (aws s3 ls, s3.bucket.list, weed filer.ls/tree) return no results.

Test Coverage: The test_fdb_s3.sh script explicitly tests S3 bucket listing (aws s3 ls) to catch this class of issue. Integration tests cover the underlying ListDirectoryEntries operations.

Diagnostic steps:

# 1. Verify writes reached FoundationDB
docker-compose exec fdb-init fdbcli
> getrange seaweedfs seaweedfs\xFF
# If no keys appear, writes aren't reaching the store

# 2. Check SeaweedFS volume assignment
curl http://localhost:9333/cluster/status
# Look for "AssignVolume" errors in logs:
make logs-seaweedfs | grep -i "assignvolume\|writable"

# 3. Verify filer health and configuration
curl http://localhost:8888/statistics/health
make logs-seaweedfs | grep -i "store\|foundationdb"

Interpretation:

• No SeaweedFS keys in FDB: Directory index writes failing; check filer logs for write errors
• AssignVolume errors: Volume assignment blocked; check master status and disk space
• Filer health errors: Configuration or connectivity issue; restart services and verify filer.toml

Recovery:

• If fresh data: restart services (make clean && make setup)
• If production data: ensure volume assignment works, check disk space on data nodes

CI Integration

For continuous integration:

# CI test suite
make ci-test    # Unit + integration tests
make ci-e2e     # Full end-to-end test suite

The tests are designed to be reliable in CI environments with:

• Automatic service startup and health checking
• Timeout handling for slow CI systems
• Proper cleanup and resource management
• Detailed error reporting and logs

Performance Benchmarks

Run performance benchmarks:

make test-benchmark

# Sample expected results:
# BenchmarkFoundationDBStore_InsertEntry-8    1000    1.2ms per op
# BenchmarkFoundationDBStore_FindEntry-8      5000    0.5ms per op
