### What problem does this PR solve? Issue Number: None Related PR: #68630, #67644 Problem Summary: #### In short This ports the BE half of branch-4.x's #68630 to master. When an Arrow Flight SQL client cancels or closes a result stream before its end, master keeps the query running: the BE thread serving the stream waits on the result buffer without ever checking whether the client is still there, and the unread result blocks stay in memory, holding back the query, until the query times out or the delayed buffer cleanup runs minutes later. With this PR the BE notices the cancelled stream within 20 ms, and when the stream is served by the BE that holds its result (the usual case), that BE cancels the query and frees all of the query's Flight result buffers there. The FE route that also reaches the query's other BEs (`cancelFlightQuery`, which changes `FrontendService.thrift`) comes in a follow-up PR. #### Background - A Flight SQL query leaves its result on the BEs. `GetFlightInfo` returns one endpoint per result buffer, and the client reads each endpoint with a `DoGet` stream. Since #67504 the FE closes the coordinator as soon as it has returned the `FlightInfo`, so it no longer cancels anything on behalf of an open stream. - `DoGet` is served by `ArrowFlightBatchLocalReader` when the result buffer is on the same BE, or by `ArrowFlightBatchRemoteReader`, which pulls the blocks from the result BE with the `fetch_arrow_data` BRPC. - The result buffer (`ArrowFlightResultBlockBuffer`) is keyed by the query id when parallel result sink is on (the default) and by the fragment instance id when it is off. When it is full, the result sink stops and the query waits for the reader. - `ResultBufferMgr` drops a buffer that nobody removed at `execution_timeout + 5 s`, or `result_buffer_cancelled_interval_time` (300 s by default) after the fragments writing it have finished, whichever comes first. Finishing with an error does not clear the unread blocks. `cancel_plan_fragment` is the BRPC the FE uses to cancel a query on a BE. #### The problem, and what it cost - **The local reader never looks at the client.** `get_arrow_batch` loops on 20 ms waits until a block arrives, the buffer is closed or it fails. It has no access to `ServerCallContext::is_cancelled()`, so a `DoGet` cancelled while the buffer is empty keeps a Flight server thread waiting until the query produces a block or ends. - **Closing a stream cancels nothing.** The readers do not override `RecordBatchReader::Close()`, and their destructor only logs. A client that stops reading (a `LIMIT` reached on the client side, a cancelled cursor, a dropped connection) leaves the query running and its unread blocks in the buffer. When the result does not fit in the buffer, the full buffer back-pressures the result sink and the fragments, with their memory, wait until the query times out; the unread blocks go only when the buffer is dropped. - **The remote reader cannot be interrupted.** It waits for `fetch_arrow_data` with `brpc::Join`, which returns only when the result BE answers or `arrow_flight_reader_brpc_controller_timeout_ms` (300 s by default) passes. - **An FE cancel leaves the results behind.** `cancel_plan_fragment` cancels the fragments but not the query's Flight buffers, so their unread blocks stay until the delayed cleanup 300 s later. - **A fetch for a removed buffer never completes.** When `fetch_arrow_data` cannot find the buffer, it logs and returns without running `done`, so the caller waits for its BRPC timeout instead of getting an error. #67644 fixes the same line. #### How this PR fixes it - **Bounded waits, cancellation checks in the reader.** `get_arrow_batch(result, eos)` waits at most 20 ms and then returns OK with no block and `eos = false`; `eos` now marks the real end. The local reader retries in a loop and checks `is_cancelled()` before each wait. `DoGetStatement` passes `context.is_cancelled()` to both readers. - **The reader closes itself.** `ArrowFlightBatchReaderBase` now implements `ReadNext` (which calls each reader's `ReadNextImpl`) and `Close()`. A stream counts as aborted when it is cancelled, closed before EOF, fails while reading, or is destroyed before EOF; a stream that reached EOF is never treated as aborted. - **Aborting a local stream cancels the query on this BE.** `ResultBufferMgr` keeps an index from query id to the query's Flight buffers, maintained under the buffer-map lock together with the map. `cancel_arrow_flight_buffers` removes every Flight buffer of the query from the map, then, outside the lock, fails each buffer (which wakes its waiting fetches and releases the back-pressure) and cancels the `QueryContext` it holds a weak reference to. Sibling buffers of the same query are cleared even after their `QueryContext` has expired. - **Remote waits can be interrupted.** The remote reader waits for its BRPC with a callback that checks `is_cancelled()` every 20 ms and calls `brpc::StartCancel` when the stream is gone. - **`cancel_plan_fragment` drops the Flight buffers of an aborted query.** It calls `cancel_arrow_flight_buffers` unless the reason is `LIMIT_REACH` or `FINISHED`, which can leave valid unread results that the client still has to read. - **`fetch_arrow_data` answers when the buffer is gone.** It completes the RPC with the lookup error. The line is identical to the one #67644 adds, so the two PRs merge in either order. Differences from branch-4.x: the two consistency checks between the index and the buffer map are `DORIS_CHECK` (an `if` and a `DCHECK` in 4.x), a null check on the reader's memory tracker that both constructors make unnecessary is not carried over, and the `ArrowFlightResultBlockBuffer` constructor moved to the .cpp so that `varrow_flight_result_writer.h`, which 13 TUs include, does not include `runtime/query_context.h`; only the .cpp needs its definition. The new lines also take a few clang-tidy fixes (the destructor calls `ArrowFlightBatchReaderBase::Close()` explicitly instead of a virtual call, `std::scoped_lock`), and the test starts its BRPC server inside `ScopedLeakCheckDisabler`, like the other BE tests that start one, because brpc registers process-lifetime built-in services on its first start. Not in this PR: the FE route. A remote reader's abort, and an abort on one result BE, still do not reach the query's other BEs; their fragments and buffers wait for the timeout as before. The follow-up adds `FrontendService.cancelFlightQuery` (same signature as branch-4.x), the BE broadcast to the FEs and the FE routing table, together with the FE unit test and the `test_flight_cancel_cleanup` regression test. | Situation | Before | After | |---|---|---| | Client cancels `DoGet` while the result buffer is empty (local reader) | Server thread waits until the query produces data or ends | Returns within 20 ms; the query is cancelled on this BE | | Client closes a local stream before EOF | Query keeps running, back-pressured until it times out if the result does not fit; unread blocks kept for minutes | Query cancelled on this BE; all of its Flight buffers there freed at once | | Client cancels while a remote fetch is pending | Waits for the result BE, up to 300 s | BRPC cancelled within 20 ms | | FE cancels the query (`cancel_plan_fragment`, abort reason) | Unread blocks kept until the delayed cleanup, 300 s later | Flight buffers freed at once; `LIMIT_REACH` / `FINISHED` still keep them | | `fetch_arrow_data` for a removed buffer | RPC never completes; caller waits for its timeout | Completes at once with an error | | Stream read to EOF, then closed | Nothing cancelled | Nothing cancelled | | New `DoGet` with the ticket of a stream aborted on its result BE | Reads the remaining blocks, or EOS | Fails: the buffer is gone | #### Results - `ArrowFlightCancelTest` (9 tests, new): early close and destruction free a back-pressured buffer and cancel the query; sibling buffers are freed after their `QueryContext` expired; EOF followed by close is not a cancellation; cancellation interrupts an empty-buffer wait; empty waits return for retry and do not end the stream; a conversion error cancels the query; a real Flight server sees a client-side `Cancel()` through `ServerCallContext` and cleans up. - `ArrowFlightRemoteCancelTest` (3 tests, new, against an in-process BRPC `PInternalService`): cancellation interrupts a pending `fetch_arrow_data`; an aborting `cancel_plan_fragment` frees the buffer and a following fetch completes with an error inside its 1 s timeout; `LIMIT_REACH` / `FINISHED` keep the unread results. - On a local single-BE cluster, branch-4.x's regression `test_flight_cancel_cleanup` (it aborts one endpoint after the first batch, by closing it and by an explicit cancel, and requires the query's pipelines to disappear within 20 s) fails on master with `Cancelled Flight query retained pipelines: [...: 1 pipeline fragment contexts in query ...]` and passes with this PR. The suite comes with the follow-up, because on a multi-BE cluster it also needs the FE route. The 20 `arrow_flight_sql_p0` suites and the 14 `external_table_p0/remote_doris` suites, which read results over Arrow Flight, pass before and after. - The 12 new tests plus `ResultBufferMgrTest` (6) and `ArrowResultBlockBufferTest` (4) pass 10 times in a row in one ASAN process. Ten single-point mutations of the change (dropping the buffer cleanup in `cancel_plan_fragment`, the `on_failure` call, the local cancel in `close()`, the cancellation check in the local read loop or in the BRPC wait, the sibling loop, the EOF flag, the `QueryContext` cancel, the cancel in the destructor, the `eos = false` on an empty wait) each turn their target tests red.
