Summary: Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/15179 A remote compaction worker (`DB::OpenAndCompact()`) opens the *live* primary's DB directory read-only, and that open reads `CURRENT`. The primary publishes each MANIFEST rotation by writing a new `CURRENT` under a temp name and renaming it over the old `CURRENT`. POSIX keeps an already-opened `CURRENT` readable after that replacement, but file systems without read-after-unlink semantics (remote or object stores) do not: the replaced object is reported as gone, surfacing in RocksDB as `IO error: No such file or directory` (`Status::PathNotFound`). The secondary open was not retried, so this transient race failed the whole compaction. There is an equivalent, already-recognized race one step later for the MANIFEST file (`ReactiveVersionSet::MaybeSwitchManifest()` converts it into `Status::TryAgain`), which was fatal here for the same reason. `DB::OpenAndCompact()` now retries the secondary open (up to 3 attempts) when it fails with `TryAgain` / `PathNotFound` / `NotFound` -- exactly the statuses a concurrent `CURRENT`/MANIFEST replacement produces. The retry limit is configurable via `OpenAndCompactOptions::max_secondary_open_retries`. Genuine failures are still returned after the bounded retries, and no safety check is weakened or skipped. Found by a `db_stress` crash test failure. Two non-default options in that run make this reachable and fatal: * `remote_compaction_worker_threads=8` with `remote_compaction_failure_fall_back_to_local=0` -- the latter was only recently randomized to 0; before that a remote compaction failure was always silently retried locally. Now `DbStressCompactionService::Wait()` maps the failure to `kFailure`, which becomes a sticky background error on the primary, so every subsequent `Flush()` returns it and `StressTest::ProcessStatus()` aborts with `assert(false)`. * `max_manifest_file_size=8192` -- the primary rotates MANIFEST (and therefore replaces `CURRENT`) constantly, which is what makes the race window hit in practice. Full chain: primary renames a new `CURRENT` over the old one -> the file system reports the replaced object as gone for the reader that already resolved it -> `GetCurrentManifestPath()` inside the worker's secondary open fails with `IO error: No such file or directory` -> `DB::OpenAndCompact()` returns that error with no retry -> `kFailure` (no local fallback) -> primary background error -> `Flush failed: IO error: No such file or directory: ... /CURRENT ...` -> assertion failure in `db_stress`.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
