# Error Handling & Recovery System
Zipora implements a sophisticated error handling and recovery system providing production-ready error classification, automatic recovery strategies, and contextual error reporting.
## Core Error Management Features
- **Error Severity Classification**: Four-level severity system (WARNING, RECOVERABLE, CRITICAL, FATAL)
- **Automatic Recovery Strategies**: Memory reclamation, structure rebuilding, fallback algorithm switching
- **Contextual Error Reporting**: Rich error context with metadata, thread IDs, timestamps
- **Recovery Statistics**: Comprehensive tracking of recovery attempts, success rates, and performance metrics
- **Verification Macros**: Production-ready assertion and verification system with fail-fast behavior
- **Thread-Safe Operations**: All error handling operations are thread-safe and lock-free
## Error Severity Levels
```rust
use zipora::error_recovery::{ErrorSeverity, ErrorRecoveryManager, ErrorContext, RecoveryStrategy};
// Four-level error classification system
pub enum ErrorSeverity {
Warning, // Minor issues that don't affect core functionality
Recoverable, // Errors that can be automatically recovered from
Critical, // Serious errors requiring immediate attention but not fatal
Fatal, // Unrecoverable errors requiring immediate termination
}
```
## Recovery Strategies
The system provides sophisticated recovery mechanisms:
```rust
// Available recovery strategies
pub enum RecoveryStrategy {
MemoryRecovery, // Reclaim and reorganize memory
StructureRebuild, // Rebuild data structures from available data
FallbackAlgorithm, // Switch to fallback algorithms (e.g., AVX2 -> SSE2 -> scalar)
RetryWithBackoff, // Retry operation with exponential backoff
CacheReset, // Clear caches and reset state
GracefulDegradation, // Reduce functionality gracefully
NoRecovery, // No recovery possible - propagate error
}
```
## Usage Examples
### Basic Error Handling
```rust
use zipora::error_recovery::{ErrorRecoveryManager, ErrorSeverity, ErrorContext, RecoveryConfig};
// Create error recovery manager with custom configuration
let config = RecoveryConfig {
max_recovery_attempts: 3,
recovery_timeout: Duration::from_secs(10),
enable_memory_recovery: true,
enable_structure_rebuild: true,
enable_fallback_algorithms: true,
min_recovery_severity: ErrorSeverity::Recoverable,
max_recovery_memory_mb: 256,
..Default::default()
};
let manager = ErrorRecoveryManager::with_config(config).unwrap();
// Handle error with automatic recovery
let context = ErrorContext::new("rank_select", "query")
.with_metadata("index", "500")
.with_metadata("operation_type", "rank1");
let error = ZiporaError::out_of_memory(1024);
let result = manager.handle_error(ErrorSeverity::Recoverable, context, &error);
match result {
Ok(RecoveryResult::Success) => println!("Recovery successful"),
Ok(RecoveryResult::PartialSuccess) => println!("Partial recovery, retry recommended"),
Ok(RecoveryResult::Failed) => println!("Recovery failed"),
Err(e) => println!("Recovery error: {}", e),
}
```
### Memory Recovery Operations
```rust
// Attempt memory recovery and defragmentation
let result = manager.attempt_memory_recovery(&context);
// Structure rebuilding for corrupted data structures
let result = manager.attempt_structure_rebuild(&context);
// Algorithm fallback (e.g., SIMD -> scalar implementations)
let result = manager.attempt_fallback_algorithm(&context);
```
### Verification Macros
Production-ready verification system:
```rust
use zipora::{zipora_verify, zipora_verify_eq, zipora_verify_lt};
// Basic runtime verification with fail-fast behavior
zipora_verify!(index < size, "Index {} out of bounds for size {}", index, size);
// Comparison macros
zipora_verify_eq!(actual, expected);
zipora_verify_lt!(value, limit);
// Fatal error macro for immediate termination
if critical_condition {
zipora_die!("Critical system failure: {}", error_message);
}
```
### Recovery Statistics and Monitoring
```rust
// Get comprehensive recovery statistics
let stats = manager.get_stats();
println!("Recovery success rate: {:.1}%", stats.success_rate());
println!("Total recovery attempts: {}", stats.total_attempts.load(Ordering::Relaxed));
println!("Average recovery time: {}us", stats.avg_recovery_time_us.load(Ordering::Relaxed));
// Get error history for analysis
let history = manager.get_error_history().unwrap();
for (severity, context, timestamp) in history {
println!("Error: {:?} in {} at {:?}", severity, context.component, timestamp);
}
```
## Performance Characteristics
| **Memory Recovery** | O(n) memory scan | **95-98%** | Memory pool corruption, fragmentation |
| **Structure Rebuild** | O(n log n) | **90-95%** | Trie/hash map corruption, index rebuild |
| **Fallback Algorithm** | O(1) switch | **99%** | SIMD failure, hardware incompatibility |
| **Cache Reset** | O(1) | **100%** | Cache corruption, consistency issues |
| **Retry with Backoff** | Variable | **80-90%** | Transient failures, resource contention |
## Integration with Zipora Components
The error recovery system integrates seamlessly with all Zipora components:
- **Memory Pools**: Automatic defragmentation and leak detection
- **Tries and Hash Maps**: Structure rebuilding from underlying data
- **SIMD Operations**: Graceful fallback from AVX2 -> SSE2 -> scalar
- **Compression**: Algorithm switching and state recovery
- **Concurrency**: Thread-safe recovery across all concurrency levels
## Production Benefits
- **Automatic Recovery**: Reduces manual intervention and downtime
- **Comprehensive Monitoring**: Detailed statistics for operational insights
- **Fail-Safe Design**: Multiple recovery strategies prevent total system failure
- **High Performance**: Lock-free operations with minimal overhead
- **Thread Safety**: Safe concurrent access across all recovery operations
