Description

Two commits.

1. feat!: EnqueueOnce required on IQueue / IPriorityQueue

  • IQueue gets EnqueueOnce(item any, id string) bool; IPriorityQueue gets EnqueueOnce(item any, priority int, id string) bool. Persistent/distributed interfaces inherit it.
  • enqueue / enqueuePriority call it directly when the job has an id. No more IDedupQueue / IDedupPriorityQueue type assertion per Add.
  • IDedupQueue / IDedupPriorityQueue removed, no deprecation period.
  • Storage with no dedupe can implement EnqueueOnce as plain Enqueue.
  • Needs redisq v1.5.0+ and sqliteq v0.3.0+. Examples bumped (redisq v1.5.1, sqliteq v0.3.0; sqliteq.New now returns an error).
  • Docs, README, config comments and CHANGELOG updated.

2. perf: in-memory Queue id set striped over 64 locks

  • Before: one queue-wide mutex around id check + lock-free log.Append, so every EnqueueOnce serialized.
  • Now: idSet with 64 cache-line padded shards picked by maphash. Shard lock held across Append so a racing Purge (locks all shards) cannot leave a stale id.
  • Set made lazily on first EnqueueOnce or Purge (4 KiB). Drained burst still drops its map (peak rule per shard).
  • PriorityQueue unchanged: heap needs one lock anyway, and growing its struct past 64 B regressed hard.
  • New BenchmarkEnqueueOnceParallel (one consumer, MPSC like the event loop, reports refused/op).

EnqueueOnce per op, benchstat -count=6:

CPUs before after
1 165 ns 176 ns (+7%)
4 342 ns 238 ns (−30%)
24 1.29 µs 0.30 µs (−77%)

Type of Change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Breaking change
  • Refactoring

Checklist

  • Self-reviewed
  • Tests added/updated
  • Documentation updated

Notes for review

  • Breaking for any custom IQueue / IPriorityQueue passed to With*Queue, and for older redisq / sqliteq.
  • Docs site needs a manual deploy after release.

Add with job id calls EnqueueOnce direct, no type assertion per Add.
IDedupQueue and IDedupPriorityQueue removed.

BREAKING CHANGE: custom storage for WithQueue, WithPriorityQueue,
WithPersistent* and WithDistributed* must implement EnqueueOnce (may
just call Enqueue). Needs redisq v1.5.0+, sqliteq v0.3.0+; examples
bumped to match.
EnqueueOnce held one queue-wide lock across the lock-free Append, so
adds with an id and the consumer's id release all serialized. Ids now
spread over 64 shard locks by maphash; add holds only its shard lock
across Append. Purge locks all shards, so ids stay exact. One map probe
per add instead of two.

1 producer + 1 consumer per P vs before: 24 CPU 1294 -> 302 ns/op,
4 CPU 342 -> 238, 1 CPU 165 -> 176. PriorityQueue unchanged (heap needs
its one lock; struct must stay in size class 64).

Walkthrough

Queue interfaces now require EnqueueOnce for jobs with IDs. In-memory queues track IDs across 64 shards. Documentation and persistent examples reflect the updated adapter contract.

Changes

EnqueueOnce and queue ID tracking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Require EnqueueOnce in queue interfaces
interface.go, source_test.go, worker_test.go, dedup_test.go, CHANGELOG.md
IQueue and IPriorityQueue now require EnqueueOnce. Enqueue helpers call it for non-empty IDs. Test adapters and interface assertions are updated for the required methods.
Shard in-memory queue ID tracking
internal/queues/idset.go, internal/queues/queue.go, internal/queues/dedup_test.go, internal/queues/once_bench_test.go, CHANGELOG.md
The in-memory queue tracks IDs across 64 locked shards. EnqueueOnce checks and records IDs before append, while Dequeue removes IDs and Purge resets the shards. Tests cover ID-set behavior, and benchmarks compare enqueue operations.
Update adapter guidance and examples
README.md, config.go, docs/src/content/docs/..., docs/src/components/ops/*, examples/redis-persistent/*, examples/redis-distributed/*, examples/sqlite-persistent/*
Guides and persistence documentation describe EnqueueOnce as the job-ID operation. Persistent examples update adapter dependencies, and the SQLite example handles constructor errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Explanation

The title names the main change: EnqueueOnce becomes a required method on IQueue and IPriorityQueue. The feat! prefix marks it as a breaking change, which matches the changelog, interface.go, and the removal of IDedupQueue and IDedupPriorityQueue. The title does not mention the second commit, the in-memory Queue sharded ID set, but that change is secondary.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has a Description section that explains both commits, and a Type of Change section with New feature, Breaking change, and Refactoring checked. The Checklist is complete. It also includes benchmark results and review notes. The Related Issues section is missing. The template has a Fixes # line, and the description does not fill it in or state that no issue is linked. The Type of Change section also checks Refactoring, which the description does not clearly justify, but this is minor.

Resolution

Add a Related Issues entry, such as Fixes #<issue>, or state that no issue is linked. Confirm whether the Refactoring box applies, since the second commit is a performance change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 85.71% which is sufficient. 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 7 functions across 11 files.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Poor tradeoff

Free an ID only when the dequeued item registered it.

Dequeue frees the ID of any dequeued item with a non-empty ID(), including items added by plain Enqueue. Such an item can free an ID that a different EnqueueOnce item still holds. A later EnqueueOnce with that ID then adds a duplicate. Track which items the set registered, and skip the removal for other items. Also correct the Dequeue doc comment, which says the ID is freed only when EnqueueOnce stored the item.

245-245: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Assert that drained shards release their burst peak.

TestDrainedIdSetIsEmpty checks only q.ids.Load().len(), which counts keys. The current Dequeue removes ids through idSet.remove, which reaches idMap.remove. A future Dequeue that deleted keys directly from a shard map would still bring the count to zero, so the test would pass while that shard kept its peak storage. TestIdMapDropsDrainedBurst calls idMap.remove directly and does not exercise this path.

The fixture adds 1025 distinct ids before it drains. At least one of the 64 shards therefore holds 17 or more ids, which gives it a peak above idShardShrinkPeak. Asserting each shard's peak after the drain detects that regression.

Suggested test assertion
-	assert.Zero(t, q.ids.Load().len())
+	ids := q.ids.Load()
+	assert.Zero(t, ids.len())
+	for i := range ids.shards {
+		assert.LessOrEqual(t, ids.shards[i].ids.peak, idShardShrinkPeak, "a drained shard keeps no burst peak")
+	}

it calls Enqueue for Add requests without a job ID and EnqueueOnce for jobs with
an ID. Preserve the existing guidance about Dequeue and queue item handling.

Review comments at @docs/src/content/docs/persistence/adapters.mdx:
- Line 57: Update the Add summary to clarify that on persistent or distributed
queues, a repeated ID can return true without storing the new item. Keep the
existing Enqueue and EnqueueOnce behavior and the false-return description
unchanged.
- Line 55: Update the IQueue and IPriorityQueue method lists in the adapter map
to include their respective EnqueueOnce signatures. Remove the obsolete
IDedupQueue entries and revise the Add worker text so it describes using
EnqueueOnce for jobs with an ID, without referring to IDedupQueue.
- Around line 100-104: Update the EnqueueOnce documentation section to mention
the exported IDedupQueue and IDedupPriorityQueue interfaces in a brief migration
note, stating that they were removed and directing readers to use EnqueueOnce on
IQueue and IPriorityQueue instead; keep them out of the current interface list.

Review comments at @examples/redis-persistent/go.mod:
- Line 6: Update the redisq dependency in the redis-distributed example from
v1.4.0 to v1.5.1, matching the version used by the redis-persistent example so
the adapter satisfies IDistributedQueue through IQueue.EnqueueOnce. Ensure the
module’s dependency metadata remains consistent with the updated version.

Review comments at @internal/queues/queue.go:
- Line 159: Update Purge to avoid calling the allocating idSet() accessor when
no ID set exists; check the existing set under synchronization shared with
EnqueueOnce, and preserve the current purge behavior when a set is present.
Ensure a concurrent first EnqueueOnce cannot race with the check or cause the
set to be missed.

Keep the id set unallocated in Purge for queues without ids.

Purge now calls idSet(), which allocates the shard set (about 4 KiB) even when the queue never used EnqueueOnce. The previous code released the set with q.ids = nil. The set now stays allocated for the life of the queue. Queue documents ids as nil until the first EnqueueOnce, and this change breaks that. Each purged queue that remains in use keeps this memory.

Fix the empty case so Purge does not allocate when no set exists. Make the check safe against a concurrent first EnqueueOnce.

v1.4.0 has no EnqueueOnce, so it no longer satisfies IDistributedQueue.
- adapter map: EnqueueOnce in IQueue/IPriorityQueue methods, IDedup nodes and dedup cap gone
- adapters: name removed IDedupQueue/IDedupPriorityQueue (API coverage pins v1.10.0)
- adapters: true from Add may mean repeat on persistent storage
- queues: custom queue gets EnqueueOnce for jobs with an id

Correct the true return text for persistent and distributed Add.

The IQueue entry says true means the item is stored. On persistent or distributed storage, a repeated ID also returns true, and the new item is not stored. A reader who selects IQueue on the redisq or sqliteq preset can take a discarded job as stored. Use the wording from the Adapters page for this line.
