Description

Problem

The cache_aware policy routes by cache affinity but has no concept of request length — long prefill requests (100K+ uncached tokens) and short requests compete for the same workers. On P/D disaggregated prefill fleets with heterogeneous worker pools (e.g. high-memory P4/P5 for long contexts, standard P1/P2/P3 for short), this causes long requests to pile up on workers that lack the KV capacity, while short workers sit idle.

Solution

Add a new self-contained routing policy cache_aware_length that splits healthy workers into a long pool (label pool=long) and a short pool (remaining workers), then applies cache-affinity routing on top of the split. The split is label-driven and independent of WorkerType, so it works for both P/D disaggregated prefill fleets and regular single-node deployments.

Routing pipeline (5 steps):

Step Condition Route target Record tree
1 All unhealthy 503 (None)
2 Global imbalance Healthy worker min-load
3 Tree missing Random healthy worker (init race)
3 Cache hit Highest-matching worker
3 Hit but unhealthy Clean stale + first healthy
4 Uncached ≥ 100K, long pool free Long pool min-load
4 Uncached ≥ 100K, long full, short idle Idle short worker (long→short overflow)
4 Uncached ≥ 100K, long full, short busy Long pool min-load (queue)
4 Uncached ≥ 100K, long unhealthy All-healthy min-load
4 Uncached < 100K, short pool free Short pool min-load
4 Uncached < 100K, short full, long free Long pool min-load (short→long overflow)
4 Uncached < 100K, both full Short pool min-load (fallback queue)
4 Uncached < 100K, short pool empty Long pool min-load
4 Uncached unknown / uncomputable All-healthy min-load
5 tree.insert_text + increment_processed

Uncached token source priority:

  1. X-Prompt-Tokens header (exact, supplied by upstream gateway)
  2. (input_chars - matched_chars) / chars_per_token (char-level estimate)
  3. None computable → all-healthy min-load

Changes

  • New file model_gateway/src/policies/cache_aware_length.rs — the policy (struct, config, 5-step pipeline, pool helpers, tree management) + 14 unit tests + 16 E2E tests
  • policies/mod.rsCacheAwareLengthConfig struct + Default impl; module declaration + re-export
  • config/types.rsPolicyConfig::CacheAwareLength enum variant + name() arm + 9 serde default functions
  • policies/factory.rscreate_from_config + create_by_name arms + test assertions
  • config/validation.rsvalidate_policy arm (threshold range + >0 constraints)
  • main.rs — 3 CLI value_parser allow-lists + 4 new CLI args + parse_policy arm
  • policies/registry.rs — init/remove hooks for both single-node and PD paths (parallel to existing cache_aware branches, no changes to existing branches)
  • routers/http/router.rs — E2E test helpers + 16 E2E tests covering all decision-table rows

Does not touch: mesh sync, KV event monitor, hash index, app_context.rs, protocol layer (WorkerType/WorkerSpec), or any existing policy code. Fully additive — the new policy is not instantiated unless configured, consuming no resources.

Test Plan

# Unit tests (policy logic, all 14 scenarios)
cargo test -p smg --lib -- cache_aware_length

# E2E tests (through real HTTP router select_worker_for_model, all 16 scenarios)
cargo test -p smg --lib -- cal_step

# Existing tests unaffected
cargo test -p smg --lib -- policies::factory
cargo test -p smg --lib -- validation
cargo test -p smg --lib -- registry::

All 30 tests pass (14 unit + 16 E2E). cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy clean on new code.

Checklist
  • cargo fmt passes
  • cargo clippy passes on new code (no new warnings)
  • Tests added (14 unit + 16 E2E covering all decision-table rows)

Changes

Cache-aware length policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy configuration and CLI contract
model_gateway/src/config/*, model_gateway/src/main.rs, model_gateway/src/policies/mod.rs, bindings/python/src/smg/router_args.py, bindings/python/src/lib.rs
Adds the full cache-aware configuration surface, defaults, validation, policy naming, CLI arguments, Python constructor settings, and long-prefill index forwarding.
Cache fallback strategy and length routing
model_gateway/src/policies/cache_aware.rs, model_gateway/src/policies/cache_aware_length.rs
Adds configurable cache-miss selection. The length strategy selects long and short pools using cache hints, token estimates, labels, load limits, overflow, and queueing.
Policy implementation and router coverage
model_gateway/src/policies/cache_aware_length.rs, model_gateway/src/routers/http/router.rs
Tests health filtering, cache affinity, token-source precedence, pool selection, overflow, queueing, fallback, cache-tree recording, and HTTP responses.
Factory, registry, and workflow integration
model_gateway/src/policies/factory.rs, model_gateway/src/policies/registry.rs, model_gateway/src/workflow/steps/..., bindings/golang/src/policy.rs
Creates the policy from configuration or aliases and updates worker registration, removal, workflow initialization, and Go policy selection.
Worker labeling and SDK validation
model_gateway/src/workflow/job_queue.rs, bindings/python/tests/*
Applies pool=long to configured prefill workers. Tests defaults, argument parsing, forwarding, policy conversion, disaggregation requirements, and index validation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5d6ef

The new routing policy can misroute long and short requests or silently ignore configuration because some supported paths lack pool metadata and controls, cache updates may be approximate, and invalid configuration values are accepted. The PR is not merge-ready until these integration and validation issues are addressed.

Add a new self-contained routing policy that splits healthy workers into
a long pool (label pool=long) and a short pool (remaining workers), then
applies cache-affinity routing on top. Designed for both P/D disaggregated
prefill fleets and regular single-node deployments.

Routing pipeline (5 steps):
- Step 1: health filter (empty fleet -> 503)
- Step 2: global imbalance check (same formula as cache_aware)
- Step 3: cache hit via per-model string radix tree
- Step 4: long/short pool split by uncached prefill tokens
  (X-Prompt-Tokens header or char-level estimate, 100K threshold)
- Step 5: record tree + return

Configuration: cache_threshold, balance_abs/rel_threshold,
eviction_interval_secs, max_tree_size, chars_per_token,
long_prefill_threshold, long_pool_max_load, short_pool_max_load.

Wired through PolicyConfig enum, factory, validation, CLI, and registry
init/remove hooks (single + PD paths). Does not touch mesh sync, KV
event monitor, or hash index -- fully additive, zero impact on existing
policies.

Tests: 14 unit tests + 16 E2E tests covering all decision-table rows.

3099-3113: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

🟡 Nit — Pin the registered worker instead of downcasting to BasicWorker.

pin_worker resolves the registered Arc<dyn Worker>, downcasts it to BasicWorker, and then pin_load clones that value into a new Arc. The pin only reaches the registry because BasicWorker::clone shares the load counter. Pinning the resolved Arc<dyn Worker> directly removes both the downcast and that dependency.

♻️ Proposed change

-        let w: Arc<dyn Worker> = Arc::new(worker.clone());

         for _ in 0..load {
-            std::mem::forget(WorkerLoadGuard::new(Arc::clone(&w), None));
+            std::mem::forget(WorkerLoadGuard::new(Arc::clone(worker), None));
         }

203-247: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

🟡 Nit — The new configuration type carries no invariants.

CacheAwareLengthConfig exposes every field as a plain primitive. cache_threshold can hold 5.0 or NaN, and chars_per_token can hold 0. Both production paths guard these values: ConfigValidator::validate_policy rejects them at startup, and compute_uncached_tokens checks chars_per_token > 0. A direct CacheAwareLengthPolicy::with_config caller bypasses both guards.

Consider a checked constructor that returns Result, so the invariants live with the type instead of at each use site.

As per coding guidelines: "Run the type-design-analyzer agent when new Rust types are introduced, reviewing their invariants and encapsulation."

1406-1416: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

🟡 Nit — Document that the CLI defaults differ from the serde defaults for shared fields.

This arm reuses the shared cache-aware flags. Their CLI defaults do not match the default_cal_* functions in model_gateway/src/config/types.rs:

field CLI default serde default
balance_abs_threshold 64 32
balance_rel_threshold 1.5 1.1
eviction_interval_secs 120 30
max_tree_size 67108864 10000

An operator who sets --policy cache_aware_length therefore gets a 67 M-char tree, while a config-file user gets 10 000. The same sharing pattern already exists for cache_aware, so this is consistent behavior. Align the two default sets, or state the CLI-vs-config difference in the pending policy documentation.

372-392: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

🟡 Nit — Add a positive-value parser to the four new flags.

chars_per_token, long_prefill_threshold, long_pool_max_load, and short_pool_max_load accept 0 at the CLI layer. ConfigValidator::validate_policy rejects 0 later, so the failure is loud. A value_parser reports the error at argument parsing time and matches the existing --worker-overload-waiting-requests flag.

810-818: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

🟡 Nit — Replace the repeated name-check-plus-downcast pattern with a trait method.

This change adds five else if policy.name() == "cache_aware_length" blocks next to the five existing cache_aware blocks. Each block repeats the same four steps: compare the name, downcast, check for empty workers, call the method. A third tree-backed policy would add five more blocks.

LoadBalancingPolicy already uses this pattern for remove_worker(&self, url) with a default no-op. Two more default-no-op trait methods, init_workers(&self, workers) and remove_worker_by_url(&self, url), would let every call site become a single unconditional call. The name check and the downcast then disappear.

This touches the existing cache_aware paths as well, so it can follow in a separate change.

Also applies to: 836-843, 865-872, 910-922, 939-951

206-260: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

🟡 Nit — Cache the per-worker load from step 1 instead of re-reading routing_state().

The comment on line 210 states a "single O(workers) gather", but the load is read again in several places:

  • Lines 239-243 re-read every healthy worker to compute healthy_max.
  • pool_has_free, pool_idle_worker, and pool_min_load_worker each re-read the pool. select_short_request can read one worker up to four times.

Two effects follow. Guard traffic per request grows beyond the stated single pass. healthy_min and healthy_max can come from different instants, so abs_diff may not reflect any real fleet state, and pool_has_free can disagree with the following pool_min_load_worker. Selection still returns a worker, so no request fails.

Collect (load, processed) into a Vec in the step 1 loop and pass that slice to the helpers.

Also remove the unused _healthy_indices parameter from select_long_request and select_short_request.

Add 3 missing decision-table scenarios found during coverage review:
- Step 3: cache hit but matched worker unhealthy → stale cleanup + first healthy
- Step 4 ≥100K: long pool all unhealthy + short idle worker → long→short overflow
- Step 4 token source priority: X-Prompt-Tokens header overrides char estimate

3 unit tests + 3 E2E tests. Total: 17 unit + 19 E2E = 36 tests.

3165-3168: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

🟡 Nit — Exercise cache precedence over pool selection.

Line 3166 and Line 3167 both route the same short request. The test passes if pool routing selects the short worker before cache lookup. Seed the cache with X-Prompt-Tokens: 200000 so the first request selects url_l, then route the same prompt without the header and assert that it still selects url_l.

Proposed test change
         let router = length_router(&[&url_s], &[&url_l]).await;
         let prompt = "shared long prompt prefix that builds cache affinity";
-        let first = route_to_url(&router, prompt, None);
+        let h = tokens_header(200_000);
+        let first = route_to_url(&router, prompt, Some(&h));
+        assert_eq!(first, url_l, "header-classified long request → long pool");
         let second = route_to_url(&router, prompt, None);
-        assert_eq!(first, second, "cache hit pins to the same worker");
+        assert_eq!(second, url_l, "cache hit overrides short-pool routing");

As per coding guidelines: "Run the pr-test-analyzer agent to verify that tests adequately cover new or changed functionality."

- Handle token-only requests: use info.tokens length as uncached token
  count when request_text is None (gRPC path).
- Cache routing_state() load in step 1 snapshot, avoiding re-reads in
  step 2 (healthy_max) and pool helpers.
- Remove unused _healthy_indices param from select_long/short_request.
- Wire cache_aware_length into workflow steps (update_policies_for_worker,
  update_remaining_policies, shared update_policies) so late-added workers
  get init_workers called (prevents tree not seeded for new workers).
- pin_worker: remove BasicWorker downcast, pass Arc<dyn Worker> directly.
- Improve cache-hit E2E test: seed with long-request header, verify cache
  overrides pool selection on second request without header.
- Improve uncached-unknown E2E test: pin long worker, assert specific
  min-load short worker instead of accepting either URL.
- Add value_parser=parse_positive_usize to 4 new CLI flags (reject 0 at
  parse time).
- Add token-only-request unit test.

🟡 Nit — Cover the actual HTTP routing path.

Lines 3063-3087 call select_worker_for_model directly. This bypasses route_typed_request request-text extraction and the HTTP response mapping for an empty selection. The tests therefore do not verify the stated HTTP routing contract.

Add end-to-end tests through route_typed_request for a header-classified request and an all-unhealthy fleet. Assert x-smg-routed-worker-id and StatusCode::SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE.

…NoCacheStrategy

cache_aware_length now inherits ALL cache_aware features (string tree,
token tree, event-driven routing, hash index, mesh sync, KV pressure)
and adds long/short pool split on the no-cache branch only.

Architecture: Strategy Pattern via NoCacheStrategy trait injection.
- cache_aware.rs: add NoCacheStrategy trait (pub(crate)) + optional
  no_cache_strategy field + resolve_no_cache method. 5 no-cache fallback
  points (KV-pressure, event-driven, token tree, string tree, hash mode)
  now call resolve_no_cache instead of returning min_load_idx directly.
  Default behavior (no strategy) is unchanged — resolve_no_cache returns
  min_load_idx when no strategy is attached.
- cache_aware_length.rs: rewritten as thin wrapper holding inner
  CacheAwarePolicy + LengthStrategy (implements NoCacheStrategy).
  select_worker delegates to inner; the strategy intercepts only the
  cache-miss branch for pool split.
- CacheAwareLengthConfig: embeds CacheAwareConfig as base field (all 13
  cache_aware params) + 4 length-specific params.
- PolicyConfig::CacheAwareLength: expanded to 17 fields (13 cache_aware
  + 4 length), all with serde defaults.
- factory.rs, main.rs, validation.rs, bindings/python: updated to
  construct/destructure/validate all 17 fields.
- Python binding: added chars_per_token, long_prefill_threshold,
  long_pool_max_load, short_pool_max_load as configurable Router fields.

38 tests pass (17 unit + 19 E2E + 2 HTTP path). fmt + clippy clean.

221-240: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

🟡 Nit — Make the factory tests validate configuration and alias targets.

At Line 221-240, the test supplies all configuration values but asserts only policy.name(). It would still pass if the factory dropped or swapped any field.

At Line 283-284, the alias tests assert only is_some(). They would still pass if either alias returned a different policy.

Assert the resolved policy name for both aliases. Add behavior or test-only configuration assertions that distinguish the supplied cache and length values.

As per coding guidelines, run the pr-test-analyzer to verify that tests adequately cover new or changed functionality.

Also applies to: 283-284

…injection

Add --long-prefill-indices (comma-separated 0-based indices of --prefill
URLs) that marks the specified prefill workers with pool=long label during
registration. This is the mechanism that makes cache_aware_length's long/short
pool split actually work in PD deployments — without it, no worker gets the
pool=long label and the split is a no-op.

Changes:
- main.rs: add --long-prefill-indices CLI arg (value_delimiter=',')
- config/types.rs: add long_prefill_indices field to RouterConfig + Default
- config/builder.rs: add long_prefill_indices builder setter
- job_queue.rs: tag prefill workers at long_prefill_indices with pool=long
  label during InitializeWorkersFromConfig; add 2 unit tests

Usage:
  smg --prefill-policy cache_aware_length \
    --prefill http://p1:8000 --prefill http://p2:8000 \
    --prefill http://p3:8000 --prefill http://p4:8000 \

Address CodeRabbit review comments on PR smg-project#2253:

- Add UncachedHint enum (Tokens/Chars) to NoCacheStrategy::select_no_cache
  so partial cache hits below cache_threshold classify by the uncached
  prefill portion (input - matched) instead of the full request size.
  When matched == 0, pass None so the normal priority chain (header →
  tokens → char estimate) still applies.

- Cache (load, processed) in a single pass when splitting long/short
  pools so pool_has_free / pool_idle_worker / pool_min_load_worker no
  longer re-read routing_state() per call.

- Strengthen factory alias tests to assert resolved policy name instead
  of just is_some().

- Translate remaining Chinese comment in router tests to English.

- Add 3 regression tests for partial-cache hint behavior (token hint,
  char hint, and no-hint fallthrough).

model_gateway/src/config/validation.rs (2)

92-135: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add duplicate/bounds validation for long_prefill_indices.

ConfigValidator::validate never checks config.long_prefill_indices for duplicate values or for indices out of range for the configured prefill_urls. The Python binding (RouterArgs._validate_router_args) performs exactly this check before constructing a router, but the Rust CLI, config-file, and binding paths all route through this same validate() function and currently accept duplicate or out-of-range indices silently.

Because long_prefill_indices is Vec<usize>, negative values are already rejected at parse time; only duplicate-detection and a bound check against the prefill worker count are missing here. job_queue.rs never rejects an out-of-range index either — it only skips it via long_indices.contains(&i) — so a misconfigured index currently has no effect and no error, instead of failing loudly.

Add and call a dedicated check:

463-719: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Extract the shared cache_aware/cache_aware_length validation checks.

The CacheAware (463-571) and CacheAwareLength (572-719) match arms duplicate the same eight checks almost verbatim: validate_cache_boundaries, cache_ttl_secs > 0, cache_index == Hash requires non-empty boundaries, overlap_decay finite/>= 0.0, selection_temperature finite/>= 0.0, block_size > 0, and the two finite/> 0.0 token-usage-threshold checks. A future fix to one arm (as already happened once for the NaN/infinity threshold check) is easy to apply to only one variant and silently miss the other.

Extract a private helper taking the shared fields and call it from both arms, keeping only the length-specific checks (chars_per_token, long_prefill_threshold, long_pool_max_load, short_pool_max_load) inline in the CacheAwareLength arm.

76-118: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

🟡 Nit — The two cache-aware arms build an identical CacheAwareConfig.

Lines 59-73 and Lines 95-109 duplicate all 13 base fields. A future base field must be added twice, and a missed site silently drops the operator value. Extract one helper that both arms call, for example a private fn cache_aware_config(...) -> CacheAwareConfig or a From-style constructor on CacheAwareConfig.

The field mapping in the new arm matches the CacheAware arm exactly, so this is maintainability only.

496-518: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Extract the index-to-pool mapping so the test exercises production logic.

long_prefill_indices_tags_correct_workers and empty_long_prefill_indices_means_all_short re-implement long_indices.contains(&i) and the pool=long label insertion inline, instead of calling the real code path. Other tests in this file (engine_count_only_reaches_zmq_workers_in_a_mixed_fleet, startup_runtime_is_pinned_only_when_configured) call the actual production function (apply_startup_worker_config) through a small helper. If the mapping condition in execute_job ever changes, these two tests will not detect the regression, since they carry an independent copy of the same logic.

Extract a small pure function and use it from both execute_job and the tests:

♻️ Proposed refactor
+fn is_long_pool_index(index: usize, long_indices: &[usize]) -> bool {
+    long_indices.contains(&index)
+}
+
     let long_indices = &router_config.long_prefill_indices;
     let workers: Vec<(String, &str, Option<u16>, bool)> = match &router_config.mode {
         ...
         RoutingMode::PrefillDecode {
             prefill_urls,
             decode_urls,
             ..
         } => {
             let prefill_workers =
                 prefill_urls.iter().enumerate().map(|(i, (url, port))| {
-                    (url.clone(), "prefill", *port, long_indices.contains(&i))
+                    (url.clone(), "prefill", *port, is_long_pool_index(i, long_indices))
                 });

Then have the test call is_long_pool_index directly instead of duplicating .contains(&i).

Comment thread bindings/golang/src/policy.rs Outdated
- Remove unused  field from CacheAwareLengthPolicy to avoid
  Clippy dead-code warning under -D warnings.

- Add  to ConfigValidator: rejects
  duplicate values and out-of-range indices against prefill worker count.
  Closes the gap where Rust CLI/config-file paths silently accepted
  invalid indices (Python binding already validated).

- Extract  helper for the 8+ duplicated
  checks between CacheAware and CacheAwareLength validation arms,
  preventing silent divergence on future fixes.

- Wire cache_aware_length into KV-event routing: update app_context
  monitor creation and update_policies worker subscription to recognize
  CacheAwareLength alongside CacheAware so it uses event-driven KV
  monitoring instead of approximate tree-only tracking.

- Extract  pure function in job_queue.rs and use it
  from both production code and tests, so tests exercise the real
  mapping logic instead of duplicating it.

- Remove cache_aware_length from Go binding: the Go FFI layer has no
  way to configure length-specific parameters or set pool labels, so
  CacheAwareLengthPolicy::new() with defaults is incomplete. The policy
  remains fully supported via the Rust CLI and Python binding.
