From a9541f4c21a0a960fa7c3d20e46f42a07a3b947b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ofer Shaal Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 17:20:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/15] docs(bet1): pre-register reuse-under-drift gate on real GNN trajectory Productionize BET 1 (ADR-200 WIN under synthetic drift) by wiring re-weight + periodic-rebuild into the ruvector-diskann loop behind a feature flag, validated on a REAL contrastive-link-prediction embedding trajectory on ogbn-arxiv (ADR-200 next-step #4). Gate frozen before any contender run (prove-not-hype): WIN = ReweightOnly within 2% recall@10 of AlwaysRebuild + Periodic{k} within 1% at <=50% cumulative rebuild cost; KILL = no transfer from synthetic to real drift. Minimum-drift precondition (>=15% top-10 churn) guards against a vacuous pass. Self-contained off main; independent of PR #535. Outcome -> ADR-202.

Its +explicitly-named open frontier (next-step #4): **a real learned-GNN metric trajectory.** This +bet closes exactly that gap and wires the validated policy into the production loop behind a +flag. + +**The metric here is L2 over node embeddings** (`ruvector_diskann::distance::l2_squared`). The +GNN re-estimates embeddings over training, so the metric trajectory *is* the embedding +trajectory `E₀ → E₁ → … → E_T`. The reuse hook is native: `VamanaGraph` stores only topology +(`neighbors` + `medoid`); `greedy_search(vectors, query, beam)` (`graph.rs:208`) takes vectors +externally — so "adapt to drift" = build on `E₀`, search with `E_t`, **zero rebuild**. + +## Thesis (one claim, one number) + +> On a **real learned-GNN embedding trajectory** on ogbn-arxiv, **`ReweightOnly`** (fixed `E₀` +> topology, distances recomputed under `E_t`) holds **recall@10 within 2%** of **`AlwaysRebuild`** +> (full `VamanaGraph` rebuild every step), and where it decays under accumulated drift, +> **`Periodic{k}`** recovers to **within 1%** of `AlwaysRebuild` at **≤ 50% of its cumulative +> rebuild cost**. + +Primary metric = **recall@10** vs brute-force ground truth recomputed under `E_t` (as ADR-200). +Secondary, reported as honesty guards: **cumulative rebuild cost (s)** and **per-query +distance-evals** (a recall win that costs more per query is not a clean win). + +## Why this scope is the honest one (central insight) + +The risk **inverts** relative to a contender benchmark. There the danger is the benchmark being +too easy on the contender; here the danger is the **test being too easy on reuse** — if the +real GNN embeddings drift only slightly, `ReweightOnly` passes *vacuously* and proves nothing. +So the gate carries a **minimum-drift precondition** and a **stale control**, the mirror of +ADR-200's stale-index control ("the C control degrades up to 29 points, proving the graph +matters"). + +**A second honesty point:** `GraphMAE::train_step` (`graphmae.rs:405`) takes `&self` and only +returns a loss — it has **no backprop and never updates weights**, so it cannot produce drift. +The trajectory is therefore assembled from the repo's *real* learnable primitives +(`Optimizer::step`, `info_nce_loss`, SGD on node embeddings), not from GraphMAE, and not from a +synthetic transform. This is stated up front so the trajectory's provenance is auditable. + +## Data & trajectory (real, public — ogbn-arxiv) + +n ≈ 169,343 nodes, 128-d features, ~1.17M citation edges (`target/m1-data/arxiv/raw/`: +`node-feat.csv.gz`, `edge.csv`, `node-label.csv.gz`, `node_year.csv.gz` — all in hand). +Validation runs at a tractable slice (n ∈ {20k, 50k}; full-n is a stretch goal). + +**Trajectory generation (contrastive link-prediction — chosen path):** node embeddings are the +trainable parameters, initialised from the raw 128-d features (`E₀`). Each epoch optimises +**InfoNCE** (`ruvector_gnn::training::info_nce_loss`) over the citation graph — positives = +sampled edges, negatives = sampled non-edges — with the existing `Optimizer` (Adam/SGD, the +harness computes the InfoNCE gradient w.r.t. embeddings). Embeddings are snapshotted each epoch +to form `E₀ … E_T`.

Result (n=20k, gradual trajectory to 67% churn): - WIN. Reuse holds within 2% recall@10 of full rebuild up to 40% top-10 churn (>= ADR-200's synthetic ~36% regime) -- transfer confirmed on real learned drift. Stale control collapses 92%->33% (teeth). - Periodic recovers the high-churn tail: P k=4 = 98.7% (gap -0.01%) at 24% of rebuild cost, evals 1.00x B. ADR-200 hybrid reproduced on real drift. - Honest caveat: pure reuse past the ceiling decays (-4.73% over the whole overdriven trajectory, 1.05x evals); the shippable periodic policy does not.

ADR-200's explicitly-named caveat was that the drift was parametric, not a real learned +trajectory, and its next-step #4 was to wire the policy into the live loop and prove it there. + +Two facts established the substrate (both verified, not assumed): + +1. **The reuse hook is native.** `VamanaGraph` (`crates/ruvector-diskann/src/graph.rs`) stores + only topology (`neighbors` + `medoid`); `greedy_search(vectors, query, beam)` takes the + vectors externally. So "adapt to drift" = pass the drifted snapshot to a graph built on the + original — zero structural change. +2. **`GraphMAE::train_step` does not learn.** It takes `&self` and only returns a loss — no + backprop, no weight update — so it cannot produce drift. The repo's genuine learnable path is + direct embedding optimization via `Optimizer` (Adam/SGD) + a real objective. The trajectory is + built from those primitives, documented up front so its provenance is auditable. + +## Decision / Finding + +**Ship `ReweightOnly` + `Periodic{k}` as a feature-gated rebuild policy on the production +index; reuse the topology every step and rebuild on a fixed cadence.** Validated head-to-head +(pre-registered gate) against a full rebuild on a real learned trajectory, with a stale-index +negative control. + +### Production wiring — `ruvector-diskann::reuse` (feature `reuse-under-drift`, default off) + +`RebuildPolicy { AlwaysRebuild, ReweightOnly, Periodic { k } }` + `DriftingIndex`, which owns a +`VamanaGraph` + build params and exposes `on_metric_update(&mut self, vectors)` (bumps a step +counter; rebuilds iff the policy dictates) and `search(vectors, q, beam)`. The index owns only +the *rebuild decision*; the consumer (the GNN) owns the drifting embeddings and passes snapshots +in. The default build is byte-identical (the module is `#[cfg]`-gated out). 5 unit tests cover +cadence + search. + +### Trajectory — contrastive link-prediction on ogbn-arxiv (real, public) + +Node embeddings are the trainable parameters, initialised from the raw 128-d features (`E₀`, +L2-normalised). Each epoch optimises **InfoNCE** (`ruvector_gnn::training::info_nce_loss`) over +citation edges (positives) + sampled non-edges (negatives) with `ruvector_gnn`'s `Optimizer` +(Adam); embeddings are renormalised onto the unit sphere after each step (so cosine = dot and the +diskann L2 ranking agrees with the contrastive metric), and snapshotted to form `E₀ … E_T`.

Full cost, top recall. +- **`ReweightOnly` (A)** — reuse the `E₀` topology, recompute only distances. Zero cost, + decays past ~40% churn. +- (`Periodic{k}` interleaves the two on a fixed cadence.) + +There is a **structural missing middle**: repair *only the part of the graph that went stale*. +Under metric drift, membership is fixed and only coordinates move, so the natural incremental +operation is to **re-index the displaced nodes** — recompute their out-edges (greedy-search → +robust-prune at the new position) and refresh their back-edges — leaving the rest of the graph +untouched. At churn `C`, this touches ≈`C`·n nodes for ≈`C`× a rebuild's per-node work, which +*could* dominate both A (better recall — it actually fixes stale edges) and B (much cheaper — it +skips the unchanged majority) in the mid/high-churn band where ADR-202 showed pure reuse decays. + +**The cheap pre-check (done before this bet):** `ruvector-diskann` has **no faithful incremental +update today.** `DiskAnnIndex::insert` (`index.rs:98`) appends to the flat slab and sets +`built=false` → the next search needs a full `build()` (`index.rs:126` — rebuild from scratch). +`DiskAnnIndex::delete` (`index.rs:207`) is a pure tombstone (zeros the vector, drops the id; the +graph node is left as a zombie — *"marks as deleted, doesn't rebuild graph"*). So the incremental +baseline must be **built**, faithfully, not assumed to exist. + +## The incremental baseline — exactly what it is, and is not (so it is not a strawman) + +**Operation (faithful, named precisely):** under metric drift no point is ever removed — a point +only moves. So the incremental op is **not** FreshDiskANN delete+reinsert (which needs a +reverse-edge index and delete-consolidation, *inapplicable* when nothing leaves). It is: + +> For each displaced node `u`: recompute `u`'s out-edges via `greedy_search(E_t, E_t[u]) → +> robust_prune`, set `neighbors[u]`, and add back-edges `u → c` into each new out-neighbour `c` +> (degree-bounded re-prune, identical to `VamanaGraph::build`'s back-edge step, `graph.rs:117`). + +**Targeting knob (`reindex_frac` `f`):** each update reindexes the top-`f` fraction of nodes by +**displacement since their last reindex** (`‖E_t[u] − reference[u]‖`, `reference` updated per +reindex). `f` is the cost/recall knob, analogous to `Periodic{k}`. Swept `f ∈ {0.05, 0.1, 0.2, +0.5}`. (`f=1.0` reindexes everything every step → a sanity upper bound that should approach B.) + +**Honest scope of the baseline (stated up front, not buried):** +- In-memory graph repair only — **not** a full FreshDiskANN: no on-disk streaming, no PQ delta, + no concurrency, no crash-consistency. The comparison is *graph-quality + update-cost*, not a + systems benchmark. +- **No delete-consolidation** — correct here because membership is fixed (nothing is deleted). + Residual stale *in*-edges from non-displaced neighbours that `u` moved away from are left to + **decay** — the exact tolerance the BET 1 reuse result proved Vamana has. If a displaced + neighbour is itself reindexed (likely under global drift) it re-prunes and drops the stale edge. +- Built behind the existing `reuse-under-drift` feature flag; the default shipping build is + byte-identical (the module is `#[cfg]`-gated out). The only always-compiled change is exposing + `VamanaGraph::robust_prune` as `pub(crate)` (visibility only — no logic change to `build`). + +## Thesis (one claim, one number) + +> On the ADR-202 real learned-GNN ogbn-arxiv trajectory, there exists a `reindex_frac` knob and +> a churn band in which **incremental reindex beats pure `ReweightOnly` by >2 points recall@10** +> while costing **≤0.5× the cumulative full-rebuild cost** and staying **within 2% recall@10 of +> `AlwaysRebuild`** — i.e. incremental carves a (recall, cost) Pareto point that neither pure +> reuse nor full rebuild occupies. + +Primary metric = **recall@10** vs brute-force ground truth recomputed under `E_t` (as ADR-202). +Cost metric = **cumulative update wall-clock** (incremental reindex time vs B's rebuild time), +reported as a fraction of B. Honesty guard = **per-query distance-evals** (a recall win that +makes queries slower is not clean). + +## WIN / KILL gate (frozen) + +Let `f*` be the best incremental knob.

Reported as: "the missing middle exists but the BET 1 + periodic incumbent already covers it." +- **KILL / NO-GO** — incremental never beats pure reuse by >2 pts within the cost bar, **or** its + only recall edge comes at >0.5× B cost (i.e. you may as well rebuild). Reported as a narrowing: + "reuse + periodic rebuild is sufficient; incremental repair earns no Pareto place." + +**Adversarial check (reported regardless of verdict):** the full (recall, cost) frontier of +{B, A, Periodic{k=2,4,8}, Incremental{f}} — does incremental dominate the **`Periodic{k}`** +incumbent, or only the naive pure-reuse strawman? A WIN that does not also beat `Periodic{k}` is +downgraded to PARTIAL in the prose, even if the frozen numeric gate above passes. + +**Precondition (teeth, inherited from ADR-202):** the trajectory must induce ≥ 15% top-10 churn +`E₀→E_T`, and the stale control must collapse — else the run is **VOID** (a too-gentle trajectory +where every policy ties proves nothing). The Adam-driven generator + ≥15% churn assertion from +the ADR-202 trigger addendum are reused unchanged. + +## A-priori risk register (named before the run, to keep the verdict honest) + +1. **Cost-squeeze (most likely outcome).** Incremental's recall edge over reuse only matters + *above* ~40% churn (where reuse decays); but re-indexing >40% of nodes costs ≈ a rebuild, so + the cost edge erodes exactly where the recall edge appears. Plausible result: **NO-GO / + narrowing** — the two advantages never co-exist. +2. **Periodic already covers it.** Even if incremental beats *pure reuse*, `Periodic{k}` (ADR-202) + may match it at lower cost → **PARTIAL**, not WIN. This is why the adversarial check is + mandatory. +3. **Stale-in-edge decay underperforms.** Without delete-consolidation, residual stale in-edges + might drag incremental below rebuild quality (fail WIN clause 3).

Incremental EXTENDS the high-recall end, not a replacement for periodic. - Regime-concentrated: advantage emerges above ~40% churn; below that all policies cluster. - Degeneracy: inc>B at >90% churn is fresh-build-on-collapsed-geometry (inc==B at n=50k). - f=5% fails the per-query-eval bar at n=50k; clean win regime is f in [0.2,0.5].
