Summary

  • Distinguish unique_violation from other constraint_violation failures in PostgreSQL, MySQL-compatible backends, and Picodata, without inferring whether the workload or reused data caused the failure.
  • Preserve existing nonfatal iteration continuation. Neither new class retries by default.
  • Retain the first sample and native backend code per bounded error group in JSON/web reports and text summaries. Samples are capped at 512 UTF-8 bytes; configured credentials, quoted values, SQL/argument suffixes, and PostgreSQL detail/context are omitted.
  • Initialize credential redaction before workload execution. Keep samples out of metric labels; existing group bounds and duplicate suppression remain unchanged.

Validation

  • Pinned linter auto-fix and read-only lint passed
  • Full make tests passed with race detector and coverage
  • Race-tested bench, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Picodata, and report suites passed
  • Focused regressions cover backend codes, sanitization, first-sample retention under concurrency, UTF-8 bounds, report propagation, terminal non-retry policy, and credential-free report history
  • make build and make integration passed
  • All CI jobs passed on current head

Historical 700 unknown errors cannot be reconstructed without the original log. This change preserves actionable evidence for future runs.

Closes #249

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Duplicate-key errors are now distinguished from other constraint failures across supported database drivers.
    • Reports and completion summaries include a representative backend code and sanitized error sample, capped at 512 bytes.
    • Unique-key and constraint failures remain non-retryable by default and fail the iteration; virtual-user continuation behavior is unchanged.
  • Documentation
    • Updated transaction and retry guidance to explain error categories, retry behavior, and the error details shown in reports.

Walkthrough

The PR adds unique-violation and constraint-violation error kinds and driver classifications. Terminal-error groups retain a bounded, sanitized sample and backend code in summaries and reports. Documentation describes the classifications, sample handling, and existing retry and iteration-continuation behavior.

Repeated distinct errors can waste processing time after the reporting limit is reached. The change is mergeable with owner awareness of this remaining cost.

Explanation

Direct issue #249 has two coding requirements. The driver classifiers add unique_violation and constraint_violation for PostgreSQL 23505/constraint codes, MySQL 1062 and constraint codes, and Picodata duplicate-key and constraint cases. Tests cover these mappings. The error reporter preserves the first code and sanitized sample for each bounded group. representativeError redacts quoted values and arguments, omits recognized SQL, produces valid UTF-8, and caps samples at 512 bytes. ErrorGroup carries code and sample into JSON. Text summaries also print both fields. The reported tests cover concurrency, report propagation, UTF-8 bounds, and non-retry continuation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #249. Classifier updates implement the requested error kinds. Reporter, report-schema, redaction, and sample-sanitization changes implement representative diagnostic data. Tests and documentation support those behaviors. Credential-redactor initialization, metric-label exclusion, bounded groups, and preserved continuation support the sample and classification requirements. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 8.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 12 functions across 14 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Minor follow-up Move new-group sample processing outside the write lock.

207-208: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Move new-group sample processing outside the write lock.

When an error group is new, groupState runs representativeError while it holds r.mu.Lock(). Redaction and regex passes scan the full message, and the 512-byte cap applies only afterward. A large first error can block other workers' record calls, including their read-lock fast path, until that work finishes. Compute the sample before taking the write lock, and insert it only if the group is still absent.

Update groupState to compute representativeError before acquiring r.mu’s write
lock, then recheck whether the group exists after locking and insert the
precomputed state only if it is still absent. Preserve existing state when
another worker creates the group first.

39-39: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a test case for the MariaDB check-constraint mapping.

errMariaDBCheckConstraint (4025) maps to ErrorKindConstraintViolation in ClassifyError. No test case covers this code, and no Go test in the repository references it. Removing or changing the mapping would not fail any test. Add a row next to the existing check-constraint case:

Suggested test case
 		{name: "check", err: &gomysql.MySQLError{Number: 3819}, want: driver.ErrorKindConstraintViolation},

Review comment at @pkg/driver/mysql/errors_test.go at line 39:
The MariaDB check-constraint mapping lacks test coverage. Add a case to the
error-classification table in `errors_test.go` alongside the existing `check`
case, using `errMariaDBCheckConstraint` and expecting
`driver.ErrorKindConstraintViolation`.
Nitpick Assert the backend code in the reportErrors test.

93-93: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the backend code in the reportErrors test.

The test records an error with no backend code. Its only reportErrors assertion checks Sample. A change that drops the Code assignment in reportErrors would still pass. Use a coded error in this test, such as one of the pgconn.PgError inputs already in this file. Then assert the code and its JSON output:

Suggested assertion
 	require.Equal(t, summary.groups[0].sample, reportErrors(summary).Groups[0].Sample)
+	require.Equal(t, summary.groups[0].code, reportErrors(summary).Groups[0].Code)

Add a JSON check that confirms the serialized code field for a coded group.

Minor follow-up Skip sample redaction for overflow errors that already have a group.

190-190: Minor · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Skip sample redaction for overflow errors that already have a group.

When the group map is full, every error with an unseen operation key runs representativeError before the lookup of the overflow group. That work is discarded if the overflow group already exists. Check the existing overflow group under the read lock before sanitizing.

Suggested fix
 	r.mu.RLock()
 	state := r.groups[group]
 	r.mu.RUnlock()
 
 	if state != nil {
 		return group, state
 	}
 
+	r.mu.RLock()
+	if len(r.groups) >= maxErrorGroups {
+		overflow := errorGroup{operation: "other", kind: driver.ErrorKindUnknown}
+		if existing := r.groups[overflow]; existing != nil {
+			r.mu.RUnlock()
+
+			return overflow, existing
+		}
+	}
+	r.mu.RUnlock()
+
 	code, sample := representativeError(err, redactor)

Review comment at @pkg/bench/error_reporter.go at line 190:
In the error-group lookup flow, after the requested group is absent and before
calling representativeError, check under the read lock whether the group limit
is reached and the overflow group already exists; if so, return that group and
release the lock without sanitizing the error. Preserve the existing path when
no overflow group exists.
Nitpick Assert the sample key in the JSON test.

122-124: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Assert the sample key in the JSON test.

The JSON check asserts only the code key. If the json:"sample,omitempty" tag on ErrorGroup.Sample were removed or renamed, the field would still be serialized under a different key. This test would still pass. Asserting the sample key detects that change.

Suggested fix
 	require.Contains(t, string(data), `"code":"XX000"`)
+	require.Contains(t, string(data), `"sample":"first `)

Review comment at @pkg/bench/error_sample_test.go around lines 122 - 124:
Update the JSON assertion in the test to also verify that `ErrorGroup.Sample` is
serialized under the `sample` key with the expected value, so renaming or
removing its JSON tag causes the test to fail.
