fix: skip documents removed between an index lookup and the fetch - #1302
Conversation
An index scan is two steps that are not atomic under concurrent writes: the index yields the matching ids, then each document is fetched from the collection map. A document removed in between came back as a (id, null) row. With a residual filter that row reached Filter.apply and threw NullPointerException from the filter's document.get(); without one the cursor handed the caller a null element. The by-id fast path had the same window between containsKey and get. - IndexedStream now prefetches and drops ids whose document is gone; skip() still walks ids without fetching them. - FilteredStream treats a row without a document as a non-match. - The by-id path does one get and yields an empty stream when it is null. The test removes a document from the collection's map behind the index's back, which is what a concurrent remove looks like to a reader that already holds the ids; on the unfixed code its indexed-plus-residual case throws and the others return null rows.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe index and lookup paths now skip documents removed between identifier lookup and retrieval. Indexed streams buffer valid rows, filtered streams ignore null documents, and by-id lookups return empty results for missing documents. Tests cover scans, filters, sizes, and direct lookups.

237-239: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winDo not use stale index cardinality as the covered count.
IndexedStreamnow drops IDs whose documents are absent. Therefore,nitriteIds.size()can exceed the number of emitted rows. For a fully indexed query with one removed document, this path reports the stale index count throughsize()although iteration returns fewer documents.Mark the covered count as unknown for indexed streams that fetch documents, or derive it from live rows. Add a regression assertion for
collection.find(where("group").eq("a")).size().🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

77-80: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winSkip logical rows instead of raw index IDs.
A missing document is no longer a row after
advance(). This loop still incrementsskippedfor a missing ID. If the first indexed ID is removed andskip(1)is applied, the next result is the first live document instead of the second live document. Pagination returns the wrong page.Count only rows returned by
advance().Proposed fix
- if (next != null && count > 0) { - next = null; - skipped++; - } - while (skipped < count && iterator.hasNext()) { - iterator.next(); + while (skipped < count && (next != null || advance())) { + next = null; skipped++; }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

This fixes an NPE encountered.
An index scan is two steps that are not atomic under concurrent writes: the index yields the matching ids, then each document is fetched from the collection map. A document removed in between came back as a (id, null) row. With a residual filter that row reached Filter.apply and threw NullPointerException from the filter's document.get(); without one the cursor handed the caller a null element. The by-id fast path had the same window between containsKey and get.
The test removes a document from the collection's map behind the index's back, which is what a concurrent remove looks like to a reader that already holds the ids; on the unfixed code its indexed-plus-residual case throws and the others return null rows.
