fix(clickhouse): keep failed backup attempts out of the bucket - #5229
A ClickHouse BackupJob attempt that fails during upload leaves its local backup on the data volume, and with the upstream defaults the clickhouse-backup sidecar never prunes local backups and resumes every unfinished upload when it starts. On the next sidecar restart the failed attempt is uploaded to the bucket as an archive no Backup refers to, and while that resumed upload runs the sidecar answers new operations with 423, which burns the strategy Job's retries in seconds. The strategy itself only waited for the sidecar API to respond and then started its operation regardless.
The sidecar now runs with API_COMPLETE_RESUMABLE_AFTER_RESTART=false, so a failed attempt is never published, and BACKUPS_TO_KEEP_LOCAL=-1, so at most the newest local backup is kept and it is removed once its upload succeeds. Backups already left on existing volumes are cleaned up by the first backup after the upgrade. The Altinity strategy now waits until the sidecar has no operation in progress before it starts a backup or a restore, and fails the attempt with a clear message instead of proceeding when the sidecar stays busy or unreachable.
Waiting for an idle sidecar changes what a retried strategy Pod does. The Job retries a failed Pod up to twice, and a Pod can die after its operation was accepted (a dropped poll under errexit, an eviction, a node drain) while the sidecar keeps running it. Before, the retry hit 423 and failed; with the idle gate it would wait for the running operation to finish and start it again. For a restore that is destructive, because restore_remote drops every table it restores before recreating it, so the second run discards whatever was written after the first one finished. A retried restore therefore takes over a restore_remote of the same archive that is still running and waits for its result instead of starting another. Once an operation is accepted, polls tolerate up to six failures in a row before the attempt fails, and the sidecar losing the operation from its in-memory action log, or ending it cancelled, fails the Pod instead of leaving it polling.
A retried backup works from the archive name the controller records for its BackupJob. That name is now <application>-<YYYYMMDDHHMMSS>-<first 12 hex digits of the BackupJob UID>, so two runs of one application started in the same second, as two Plans on one schedule are, never share an archive. It is exactly as long as the previous clickhouse-<application>-<YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ>, so an s3PathOverride prefix that fit before still keeps every object key within the 1024-byte limit. A retry takes over a create_remote --resume of its archive that is still running, counts an upload of its archive whose latest run ended in success as its own result instead of uploading the archive again, and otherwise resumes the upload. Restoring a Backup that records no archive still picks an archive by timestamp, and that path accepts only clickhouse-<application>-<timestamp> names, so it never picks a per-run archive.
One limit remains. A finished restore_remote row is not taken over: the sidecar never trims its action log, so a success row of the same archive may be left by an earlier RestoreJob, and counting it as this one would report a restore that never ran. A retry that arrives after the restore it replaces had already finished, but before that Pod saw the result, therefore still runs the restore a second time.
Upgrading changes the ClickHouseInstallation pod template, so ClickHouse pods with backup.enabled are rolled once. A backup Job started before the upgrade by a controller that named archives the previous way is not re-rendered and keeps writing that name, so the controller records the previous name when the new one is not on the Job. The local copy of the latest failed attempt stays on the volume until the next backup. Objects partially written to the bucket by an upload that fails midway are not removed by clickhouse-backup and are left for a follow-up.

fix(clickhouse): failed ClickHouse backup attempts are no longer uploaded to the bucket when the backup sidecar restarts, local backups no longer accumulate on the data volume, the backup strategy waits for the sidecar to be idle instead of failing with HTTP 423, a retried ClickHouse restore takes over the restore that is still running instead of starting it a second time, and a retried ClickHouse backup takes over or reuses its own upload instead of starting a new one. Every ClickHouse backup run now writes an archive of its own, even when two runs start in the same second, under a name no longer than before. ClickHouse pods with backups enabled are restarted once on upgrade.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Backup and restore operations wait for the backup service to become idle and join a matching operation already in progress rather than starting a duplicate.
Restore operations use the archive the Backup records and fail when it is not in remote storage; only a Backup that records no archive falls back to the newest eligible archive by timestamp.
New backups use distinct archive names, including for runs started in the same second.
Local backup copies are discarded after upload, and completed uploads are not resumed after a service restart.
Bug Fixes
Operations now fail when the service cannot be queried, an operation disappears from its activity log, or it ends with an error or cancellation.
create_remote keeps its local backup when the upload fails, and with
the upstream defaults the sidecar never prunes local backups and
resumes every unfinished upload when it starts. A strategy attempt that
fails mid-upload therefore lands in the bucket on the next sidecar
restart as an archive no Backup refers to, and restore can pick it as
the newest one. The resumed upload also holds the API lock, so the
strategy Pods racing it get 423 and burn the Job's retries.
Turning the resume off keeps a failed attempt out of the bucket, and a
negative local retention leaves at most the newest local backup and
drops it once its upload succeeds, so leftovers no longer accumulate on
the data volume.

The sidecar refuses a new operation with 423 while another one is in
progress, but the strategy only waited for the API to answer, and went
on to start its operation even when it never did. An operation already
running in the sidecar therefore failed the attempt within seconds.
Poll the action log until nothing is in progress, and fail the Pod
instead of proceeding when the sidecar stays busy or unreachable, so
the failure names the cause rather than surfacing as a 423 or a
connection error from the operation itself.

The ClickHouse sidecar now disables upload resumption after restart and sets local backup retention to -1. The Altinity strategy gates backup and restore operations and checks their results. Backup archive names now include the BackupJob UID, with legacy-name handling for completed Jobs.
Changes: Altinity backup safeguards
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Generate and record unique archive names internal/backupcontroller/altinitystrategy_controller.go, internal/backupcontroller/altinitystrategy_controller_test.go
Archive names now include the BackupJob UID after the timestamp. If a completed Job lacks that name, the controller checks for the exact previous timestamp-only name. Tests cover unique names, legacy names, and archive matching.
The sidecar sets BACKUPS_TO_KEEP_LOCAL=-1 and API_COMPLETE_RESUMABLE_AFTER_RESTART=false. Rendering tests check both settings in both S3 flows.
Gate and validate backup operations packages/system/backupstrategy-controller/templates/strategy-altinity-default.yaml, hack/altinity-backup-strategy.bats
The strategy retries action-list GET requests, waits for an available sidecar, and matches operations by exact command. It skips a backup POST when the latest matching action succeeded and fails for missing rows or unsuccessful statuses. Tests cover waits, retries, operation outcomes, and backup and restore archive selection.

Require an observed idle response before the stub accepts a POST.
The stub accepts a POST once its busy count reaches zero, even when the last actions response was still in progress. In the waiting test, busy reaches zero on the poll that returns in progress. A strategy that POSTs after that poll still passes "backup waits until the running operation finishes before create_remote". The shipped script does wait for an idle poll, so this gap affects only how well the test detects a premature POST.
Mark the stub idle on the first actions poll that finds no busy operation. Accept a POST only after that mark, and assert that the POST was accepted.

scooby87 LGTM on this head. I checked the flags against clickhouse-backup v2.7.4 and ran the strategy and chart tests. Before merging this with #5224, please update the test renderer for ArchiveName: six BATS cases stop before executing on the combined tree. That substitution alone restores all seven cases.
The sidecar keeps its action log only in memory, so a sidecar restart
after create_remote was accepted drops the operation's row, and the
strategy kept polling for it forever under a Job with no deadline.
Until now the resumed upload re-added a row ending in the archive name
and ended the loop, but resume is now off so a failed attempt never
reaches the bucket, which leaves nothing to end it. The row is logged
before the POST is acknowledged, so its absence means the operation is
gone and the attempt has to fail.

restore_remote drops every table it restores before recreating it, so
running it twice discards whatever was written after the first run
finished. The strategy Job retries a failed Pod up to twice, and with
the start gate waiting for an idle sidecar instead of hitting 423, a
retry whose predecessor died after its POST waited for that restore to
finish and then started a second one. A retry now takes over a
restore_remote of the same archive that is still running.
A finished row is not taken over: the sidecar never trims its action
log, so a success row of the archive may belong to an earlier
RestoreJob, and treating it as this one would report a restore that
never ran. A retry that arrives after the restore finished therefore
still runs it again.
Once the operation is accepted, one failed poll no longer ends the
attempt under errexit; six in a row do. An operation that ends
cancelled now fails the Pod instead of being polled forever.
A retried backup still starts a new create_remote, because its archive
name changes on every attempt; taking it over needs a name fixed for
the whole BackupJob.

The restore path resolves its archive from list/remote before the start
gate runs, so it carries its own wait for a sidecar that is not up, and
only the backup path had a test for a sidecar that never answers. The
retry comment also miscounted: the limit is attempts, not retries.

Thanks for the approval. A further pass on this head found a problem in the idle gate itself, so I pushed three more commits and your approval is likely reset. The Job retries a failed strategy Pod up to twice, and a Pod can die after its operation was accepted while the sidecar keeps running it: one failed poll was enough under errexit, and an eviction or a node drain does the same. Before this PR the retry hit 423 and failed, so the operation ran at most once; with the gate the retry waited for the running operation to finish and then started it again. For a restore that loses data, because restore_remote in v2.7.4 drops each table it restores before recreating it (pkg/backup/restore.go), so anything written after the first run finished is discarded by the second. The new commit makes a retried restore take over a restore_remote of the same archive that is still running instead of starting another, lets polls survive up to six failures in a row, and fails the Pod on an operation that ends cancelled instead of polling it forever. A finished row is deliberately not taken over: the action log is never trimmed, so a success row of the same archive may come from an earlier RestoreJob and would turn a repeated restore into a silent no-op. That leaves a narrow window where a retry arriving after the restore finished, but before its predecessor saw the result, still runs it again; the PR body says so. Backup retries are unchanged and still start a new create_remote, since the archive name is per attempt; that is closed in #5224 once .ArchiveName fixes the name for the whole BackupJob. The BATS suite now covers the takeover, a retry after lost polls producing exactly one accepted restore_remote, finished rows not being taken over, and cancelled operations, and it passes with the script run by busybox ash on Alpine 3.24 as well as bash.
Applied the stub nitpick: the stub now accepts a POST only after an actions answer that listed nothing in progress, and the waiting tests assert the POST was accepted.

scooby87 NOT LGTM. A backup can reuse another BackupJob's result and omit a table created before its own Pod starts. Archive names use the application and start time to whole seconds, so different jobs can share a name even with different UIDs.
Evidence: I checked two colliding jobs with the second Pod delayed until a new empty table appeared. I ran the rendered scripts against fake transport using the pinned metadata-upload code. This head returned success with the old archive table list; the merge-base script wrote the new table's schema and added it to that list. Please establish per-job ownership before reusing a completed action and cover this case in the existing tests. The shortcut is at strategy-altinity-default.yaml:118-120.
The description is out of date. It says backup retries still start a new upload and need #5224 for archive names, although this head already takes over running and completed uploads. Please update that paragraph.
Please drop the last paragraph of the merge commit body. It says "Both sides added hack/altinity-backup-strategy.bats; the merged file runs main's restore-selection cases on this branch's sidecar stub" (55e0573e4b70). The earlier paragraphs explain why the archive and idle-gate behavior must coexist; this one describes the merge process. The new comment above accepted() also repeats what the helper returns and can be removed.
main now names the ClickHouse archive in the controller and restores
the archive a Backup recorded, in the same strategy script this branch
gates on an idle sidecar. The merged script keeps both: the archive
name and its restore selection from main, the idle gate, retried polls
and lost-operation check from this branch.
A retried backup is taken over through the same idle gate as a restore,
matched on the whole command line the sidecar logs. With resume
requested that line reads "create_remote --resume <name>", so the gate
matches that form; matching on the name alone would also take another
operation's row ending in the same name for this one.

A backup Pod that loses sight of its upload, by dying or by losing six
polls in a row, is retried while the sidecar finishes that upload. The
retry found it in the action log as a success, took the sidecar for
idle and asked for create_remote with resume again. clickhouse-backup
then rebuilds the local backup and uploads it once more over the
archive already in the bucket, which is left broken if that second
upload dies halfway.
The archive name belongs to one BackupJob, so a success row of exactly
this upload can only be an earlier attempt's, and the retry now takes
it as its result. An error or cancel row still leads to a resumed
upload, and a restore still runs again, since a restore is not named
per RestoreJob.

An archive was named from the application and the BackupJob's start
time, which has one-second resolution. Two runs of one application
started in the same second, as two Plans on the same schedule are,
wrote the same archive. The strategy takes a finished upload of its
archive as an earlier attempt of its own run, so the later run could
succeed on the other run's upload and record an archive missing any
table created since.
The BackupJob's UID now ends the name. It goes after the timestamp so
names keep sorting chronologically, and the restore of a Backup that
records no archive, which accepts only a bare timestamp after the
release prefix, never picks one of these.

… upgrade
A backup Job created before archive names carried the BackupJob's UID
writes its archive under the name without it, and the Job is not
re-rendered when the controller is upgraded. Matching only the new

back to guessing by timestamp.
The name without the UID is matched second, because it is a prefix of
the one with it.

The archive a backup Job carries was found as a substring of its Pod
spec. The name without the BackupJob's UID starts the name with it,
and a strategy may append to either, so a Job that wrote a longer

scooby87 NOT LGTM. The new archive suffix breaks backups with a long legacy S3 prefix. Evidence: I checked a chart-accepted 930-byte prefix and a 30-character application name against the actual archive helper and pinned S3 key construction. The manifest key grows from 1,003 to 1,040 bytes, above S3's 1,024-byte limit. Shortening only the prefix or removing only the suffix makes the same check pass. Please keep per-job uniqueness without breaking previously valid prefixes, and cover this boundary in the existing tests (altinitystrategy_controller.go:128-130).
The description still has the old retry claim: it says backup retries start a new upload because names are per attempt and need #5224 for ArchiveName. This head already names archives per BackupJob and takes over completed uploads; please update that paragraph. The summary's claim that restore falls back when a recorded archive is unavailable also contradicts the script, which fails in that case.
The archive name is part of every object key, a key is capped at 1024
bytes, and the legacy s3PathOverride prefix has no length limit. The
full UID made the name 37 characters longer than before, so a prefix
that fit the old name pushed the manifest key past the cap and failed
the backup.
The run's name now drops "clickhouse-" and the "T" and "Z" of the
timestamp and spends the room on the first 12 hex digits of the UID,
so it is exactly as long as the old name for every application.

The full controller package fails; supplying a UID and the compact expected name makes the full package pass without changing production code. Please update the existing fixture without weakening its assertion.
Please correct the description: names are per BackupJob and retries reuse completed uploads, rather than starting a new upload under a per-attempt name. The summary's fallback claim is also wrong: a missing recorded archive fails the restore.
main pins the archive name a backup Pod keeps across a wait for
late bucket credentials, against the controller's archive helper.
That helper now names a run's archive with part of the BackupJob's
UID, so the merged test has to give its BackupJob one.

The test pins that a backup held for late bucket credentials keeps
its archive name, and a run's archive name now carries part of the
BackupJob's UID, so the fixture needs one for the name it expects to
be the name the controller mints.

Fixed. A run's archive is now named <application>-<YYYYMMDDHHMMSS>-<first 12 hex digits of the BackupJob UID>, which is exactly as long as the previous clickhouse-<application>-<YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ> for every application name, so a prefix that fit before still fits. TestAltinityArchiveName_NoLongerThanTheNameWithoutUID checks the manifest key against the 1024-byte limit for application names of 1 to 63 characters, with a prefix that puts the previous name exactly at the limit. Two runs started in the same second share a name only if their UIDs agree in the first 48 bits. The branch now has current main merged, and TestReconcileAltinity_CredentialsWaitKeepsTheArchiveName gives its BackupJob a UID and expects the name in this shape, with its assertions unchanged; the full controller package passes. The description is rewritten: names are per BackupJob and a retry reuses its completed upload, and the summary now says a restore fails when the recorded archive is not in remote storage.

scooby87 LGTM. The merged credentials-wait test passes now and still checks the exact archive name, and the description matches what the script does on retries and restores.
Optional nit: the comment on altinityJobCarriesArchive still says the name without the UID is a prefix of the name with it. That stopped being true when the clickhouse- prefix was dropped.

What this PR does
A ClickHouse BackupJob attempt that fails during upload leaves its local backup on the data volume, and with the upstream defaults the clickhouse-backup sidecar never prunes local backups and resumes every unfinished upload when it starts. On the next sidecar restart the failed attempt is uploaded to the bucket as an archive no Backup refers to, and while that resumed upload runs the sidecar answers new operations with 423, which burns the strategy Job's retries in seconds. The strategy itself only waited for the sidecar API to respond and then started its operation regardless.
The sidecar now runs with
API_COMPLETE_RESUMABLE_AFTER_RESTART=false, so a failed attempt is never published, andBACKUPS_TO_KEEP_LOCAL=-1, so at most the newest local backup is kept and it is removed once its upload succeeds. Backups already left on existing volumes are cleaned up by the first backup after the upgrade. The Altinity strategy now waits until the sidecar has no operation in progress before it starts a backup or a restore, and fails the attempt with a clear message instead of proceeding when the sidecar stays busy or unreachable.Waiting for an idle sidecar changes what a retried strategy Pod does. The Job retries a failed Pod up to twice, and a Pod can die after its operation was accepted (a dropped poll under errexit, an eviction, a node drain) while the sidecar keeps running it. Before, the retry hit 423 and failed; with the idle gate it would wait for the running operation to finish and start it again. For a restore that is destructive, because
restore_remotedrops every table it restores before recreating it, so the second run discards whatever was written after the first one finished. A retried restore therefore takes over arestore_remoteof the same archive that is still running and waits for its result instead of starting another. Once an operation is accepted, polls tolerate up to six failures in a row before the attempt fails, and the sidecar losing the operation from its in-memory action log, or ending it cancelled, fails the Pod instead of leaving it polling.A retried backup works from the archive name the controller records for its BackupJob. That name is now
<application>-<YYYYMMDDHHMMSS>-<first 12 hex digits of the BackupJob UID>, so two runs of one application started in the same second, as two Plans on one schedule are, never share an archive. It is exactly as long as the previousclickhouse-<application>-<YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ>, so ans3PathOverrideprefix that fit before still keeps every object key within the 1024-byte limit. A retry takes over acreate_remote --resumeof its archive that is still running, counts an upload of its archive whose latest run ended insuccessas its own result instead of uploading the archive again, and otherwise resumes the upload. Restoring a Backup that records no archive still picks an archive by timestamp, and that path accepts onlyclickhouse-<application>-<timestamp>names, so it never picks a per-run archive.One limit remains. A finished
restore_remoterow is not taken over: the sidecar never trims its action log, so asuccessrow of the same archive may be left by an earlier RestoreJob, and counting it as this one would report a restore that never ran. A retry that arrives after the restore it replaces had already finished, but before that Pod saw the result, therefore still runs the restore a second time.Upgrading changes the ClickHouseInstallation pod template, so ClickHouse pods with
backup.enabledare rolled once. A backup Job started before the upgrade by a controller that named archives the previous way is not re-rendered and keeps writing that name, so the controller records the previous name when the new one is not on the Job. The local copy of the latest failed attempt stays on the volume until the next backup. Objects partially written to the bucket by an upload that fails midway are not removed by clickhouse-backup and are left for a follow-up.Screenshots
