LOG-9386: fix(buffers): replace protobuf nesting-limit fix with merged upstream #26099 - #293
Conversation
…d upstream vectordotdev#26099 The fork adopted vectordotdev#25417 (commit 6873155) early, before the Vector team approved it. That PR was ultimately closed in favor of the better solution merged as vectordotdev#26099. This replaces our vectordotdev#25417 port with vectordotdev#26099, adapted onto v0.54.0's buffer base (which predates upstream's TryWriteOutcome refactor, so writer.rs and the disk backend are left untouched). What vectordotdev#26099 fixes over vectordotdev#25417: - State-independent routing: an over-nested event no longer takes a different path based on disk occupancy. Previously it was pruned while the disk had room but forwarded whole once the disk reported full. The overflow decision now lives in BufferSender (via the new Bufferable::is_fully_encodable) and is made before the item reaches any backend, so the same item is treated the same at 99% and 100% full. The disk backend filter is now unconditional. - Backend-aware overflow: SenderAdapter::requires_encodable_items() gates the divert so only wire-format-constrained stages (disk) trigger it. A memory overflow stage keeps arbitrarily nested items instead of having them pruned for a disk write that was never the final destination. - Single safe budget: the two per-path limits (99 for Log.fields/Trace.fields, 96 for metadata) collapse to one MAX_VALUE_NESTING_FRAMES = 96, the highest limit safe on every wire path. Validation no longer depends on event type or destination field, closing the gap where a non-object Log.value root could pass the gate at cost 97-99 yet fail prost decode on the receiver. Adds regression tests for the near-full, already-full, and unconstrained-base cases, plus the tightest-wire-path budget check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Three places now encode the same rule "which values of an event are arbitrary":
event_exceeds_max_nesting_cost,check_event_array_nesting_cost, and theexceedsclosure infilter_unencodable. Thelib.rscontract requiresis_fully_encodableandfilter_unencodableto agree exactly, so any future field or variant must be added in all three places or the routing decision and the encode gate will diverge silently.One helper that yields the arbitrary values of an event would remove that drift risk.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
This test does not exercise the encodability route it claims to test.
The base stage here is SenderAdapter::InMemory, and SenderAdapter::requires_encodable_items returns false for InMemory (lib/vector-buffers/src/topology/channel/sender.rs lines 52-57). The new branch in BufferSender::send is therefore never taken. The second item reaches overflow through the pre-existing fullness path, because base.try_send returns Some(item) when the 1-event memory stage is full.
Two consequences:
- The test passes even if
requires_encodable_itemsand theis_fully_encodablecheck are removed entirely. It provides no regression protection for this PR's change. - The doc comment claim "the base stage's type and occupancy are both immaterial" is contradicted by the third test in this file, which asserts that an in-memory base keeps an unencodable item instead of diverting it. The base stage type is material by design.
Use a disk-v2 base to cover the already-full half of the guarantee, or rename this test to describe what it actually asserts (fullness-driven overflow forwards items intact) so the coverage gap is visible.
