issue: #47420
## What this PR does
Project-wide migration of raw `fmt.Errorf` / `errors.New` in function
bodies onto
the `merr` framework, plus the Sys-vs-Input error classification and the
machinery it drives (retriability, fine-grained metrics, segcore
unification),
plus the convention docs and a linter that keeps it from regressing.
Scope: storage, proxy, coordinators (root/data/query), query node, data
node,
`pkg/util` & `internal/util`, expression parser, message queue,
streaming, and
misc packages. Bare raw-error usages went from ~3000 to a ~340 allowlist
(package-level sentinels / build-tag / test sites).

## How to review this PR
It is large but the vast majority is mechanical. Changes fall into three
tiers;
spend review budget on Part 2 and Part 3.
### Part 1 — Mechanical standardization (low risk, verify by rule)
Each converted call follows one of a small fixed set of rules. To
review, check
that each site obeys the matching rule rather than reading every line:
| Pattern | Rule |
|---|---|
| `fmt.Errorf("...")` originating a new error | →
`merr.WrapErrXxxMsg("...")` with a code matching the failure's meaning |
| Adding context to an existing typed error | → `merr.Wrap(err, "...")`
/ `merr.Wrapf(...)` — **preserves** the inner code (never `WrapErr*Err`,
which overwrites it) |
| Errors inside the streaming subsystem | → `status.New*` factories
(StreamingError), **not** merr — this is the component-internal dialect
(see `docs/dev/error_handling_guide.md`) |
| Low-level / control-flow signal caught by `errors.Is` | → kept as a
package-level `errors.New` sentinel (lowercase, same-package) |
Conventions are documented in `docs/dev/error_handling_guide.md`
(how-to) and
`docs/dev/error_sentinel_convention.md` (rules + audit). A
`gocritic`/`ruleguard`
rule (`rawmerrerror`, in `rules.go`) enforces "no raw `return
errors.New/fmt.Errorf`"
under `make verifiers`.
### Part 2 — Behavior changes (review these closely)
These are the sites where the wire contract or runtime behavior changes,
not just
the source text. Listed by category; representative locations given,
full set in
the diff.
**A. gRPC wire-code shifts: `UnexpectedError(1)/Code 65535` → typed
code.**
Where a handler previously returned a raw error (collapsed to
`Code=65535` on the
wire), it now returns a typed merr, so the client sees a real code. The
most
common shift is to `IllegalArgument(5)/Code 1100` (ParameterInvalid).
Touch
points include datanode task handlers (CreateTask/Query/Drop), proxy
Upsert,
querynode GetMetrics, datacoord CreateIndex, httpserver query-response
builder,
and typeutil schema validation. One code refinement: an index-param
validation
moved `1100` → `1101` (ParameterMissing). **Client/SDK assertions and
any code
that switched on `Code=65535` for these paths must be re-checked** (the
go_client
e2e assertions were already aligned in this PR).
**B. Prometheus `status` label contract change (externally visible).**
The proxy metric's coarse `fail` / `rejected` values are split into
`fail_input` / `fail_system` and `rejected_user` / `rejected_system` (in
`requestutil.ParseMetricLabel`; auth/privilege rejections count as
`rejected_user`), so dashboards can attribute a failure to caller vs
operator.
**Dashboards/alerts querying `status="fail"` must migrate to
`status=~"fail_.*"`, and `status="rejected"` to
`status=~"rejected_.*"`.** The
in-repo Grafana dashboard is already migrated; external dashboards built
on the
old values silently go empty after upgrade. This is the one change that
requires an ops-side migration.
**C. Retriability semantics.**
- C1: `merr.Status(err)` now forces `Retriable=false` when the error is
an
`InputError` — a malformed request can never succeed on blind retry, so
clients
never get the self-contradictory "your input is wrong but you may
retry".
- C2: `retry.Do` short-circuits an `InputError` (non-retriable) — **but
only when
the caller did not pass a `RetryErr` predicate**. The check is an
`if c.isRetryErr != nil { ... } else if InputError { ... }` *mutually
exclusive*
branch (`pkg/util/retry/retry.go`): an explicit `RetryErr` takes
precedence and
bypasses the InputError abort. `retry.Handle` deliberately does **not**
apply
the InputError abort (its callers signal abort via `shouldRetry=false`).
Four
flusher startup callsites that must retry through transient "not ready"
errors
were given explicit `RetryErr` escape hatches.
**D. segcore (C++→Go) error classification.**
A single shared Go-side table (`pkg/util/merr/segcore.go`) maps each
segcore code
to a merr sentinel + InputError/signal category, replacing scattered
hand-written
`if errorCode == ...` switches in the cgo wrappers. **Wire `Code` values
change
for every segcore pass-through error, not just the remapped ones.**
Named
sentinels remap (C++ `2003` → merr `2001`, `2033` → `2002`,
Folly/Knowhere codes
likewise); **all remaining pass-through codes (`2004`–`2043`, previously
surfaced to clients as raw C++ enum values) now serialize as `2000`**
(`ErrSegcore`), with the original C++ code preserved in the `Reason`
text
(`segcoreCode=...`); unknown/future codes collapse to `2000` as well
(pinned by
the `wire_code_projection` test). Transient segcore classes (object
storage /
file IO / OOM / mmap / FieldNotLoaded — 11 codes) now report
`Retriable=true`.
**Any client switching on raw segcore codes in the `2004`–`2043` range
must be
re-checked**; the in-Reason code remains available for diagnostics.
Signal
codes (PretendFinished / FollyCancel) are recognized centrally.
`errors.Is`-based
control flow on these (e.g. scheduler skip/retry) is preserved.
**E. InputError classification (25 sentinels + dynamic marks).**
25 sentinels in `errors.go` carry `WithErrorType(InputError)` (the
Collection /
ResourceGroup / Database families, `ErrIndexDuplicate`,
`ErrParameterInvalid`,
`ErrPrivilegeNotAuthenticated`, `ErrImportFailed`, `ErrQueryPlan`, ...),
plus dynamic
marks for the 8 segcore input codes (ExprInvalid, DimNotMatch,
MetricTypeInvalid, FieldIDInvalid, ...) and
`WrapErrAsInputError`. The widest blast radius is `ErrParameterInvalid`
(1100):
~2335 `WrapErrParameterInvalid*` callsites now classify as input /
non-retriable. Because of C1/C2 this changes retriability for
any path that returns these. **The audit to confirm no transient path
was
mis-marked is the single most important review item** (see Part 3). One
reverse
correction: storage field-stats parsing moved from `ErrParameterInvalid`
(input)
to `ErrDataIntegrity` — a corrupted stored stat is data corruption, not
user
input.
### Part 3 — Known risks & traps (called out proactively)
1. **`merr.Wrap` vs `WrapErr*Err` (code-masking).** `WrapErr*Err` builds
a
`wrappedMilvusError{sentinel: ErrServiceInternal}` whose `code()`
returns the
*outer* sentinel — it overwrites the inner typed code and hides the
`errors.Is`
chain. This is intentional (use it to *deliberately* downgrade), but it
was a
recurring conversion defect; the rule "add context with `merr.Wrap`,
downgrade
with `WrapErr*Err`" is enforced by convention and reviewed across the
diff.
2. **InputError × `retry.Do` blast radius.** Marking a sentinel
`InputError` makes
any `retry.Do(...)` without a `RetryErr` predicate stop retrying it.
Reviewers
should sanity-check that no transient use of the 19 newly-marked
sentinels
(especially `ErrParameterInvalid`) sits inside a retry loop that needed
to keep
spinning. The known flusher cases were handled (see C2).
3. **The ~340 raw-error allowlist.** What remains as bare `errors.New`
is, by
design: package-level sentinels (caught by `errors.Is`), `//go:build
test`
sites, and out-of-band trees (`cmd/`, `tests/`, codegen, walimpls). The
linter
only bans the *direct-return* form; assignment-then-return escapes and
the full
no-exceptions ban are deferred to an AST-based linter (Tier 2,
documented).
4. **segcore C++ second step deferred.** This PR unifies classification
on the Go
side; splitting the dual-semantic C++ codes at the source is a
follow-up.

## Validation
- `make verifiers`: Go side clean (gofmt + static-check across modules,
including
the new `rawmerrerror` rule with a 0-hit baseline repo-wide).
- `make test-go`: passing; the one real regression introduced (a
datanode
`invalid_task_type` assertion shifting `1` → `5` from a ParameterInvalid
conversion) was fixed in-tree.
- go_client e2e CreateIndex assertions aligned to the new merr messages.

Refactor the cluster-level broadcast mechanism to decouple the message
package from the channel registration lifecycle:
- Replace internal provider pattern with opaque ClusterChannels type
passed externally to WithClusterLevelBroadcast()
- Add channel package singleton (syncutil.Future) exposing
GetClusterChannels() and GetPChannelNames() blocking accessors
- Add PChannel() interface to MutableMessage/ImmutableMessage for
deriving physical channel from virtual channel
- Validate non-control-channel entries are physical channels using
funcutil.IsPhysicalChannel and use funcutil.IsOnPhysicalChannel for
control channel matching
- Move control channel substitution logic into WithClusterLevelBroadcast
to simplify callers (datacoord, coordinator, assignment service)
- Add lock interceptor unit tests and cluster broadcast test coverage
- Add integration test for FlushAll with streaming node restart to
verify data integrity across node lifecycle

add ack_sync_up flag into broadcast message header, which indicates that
whether the broadcast operation is need to be synced up between the
streaming node and the coordinator.
If the ack_sync_up is false, the broadcast operation will be acked once
the recovery storage see the message at current vchannel, the fast ack
operation can be applied to speed up the broadcast operation.
If the ack_sync_up is true, the broadcast operation will be acked after
the checkpoint of current vchannel reach current message.
The fast ack operation can not be applied to speed up the broadcast
operation, because the ack operation need to be synced up with streaming
node.
e.g. if truncate collection operation want to call ack once callback
after the all segment are flushed at current vchannel, it should set the
ack_sync_up to be true.
TODO: current implementation doesn't promise the ack sync up semantic,
it only promise FastAck operation will not be applied, wait for 3.0 to
implement the ack sync up semantic. only for truncate api now.
