The unit-tests job runs the engine (~24 min) and the server-side modules (HA Raft, Server and the rest, ~31 min) one after the other in one reactor, and sits at ~93% of its 60-min timeout. slow-unit-tests spends ~20 of its ~44 min in one class, LSMVectorIndexTest. Both are independent halves, so this PR runs them as parallel shards:

  • unit-tests: matrix engine (-pl engine) / modules (-pl !engine,!e2e,!load-tests), same flags; each shard uploads its own coverage artifact.
  • slow-unit-tests: matrix lsm-vector (-Dtest=LSMVectorIndexTest) / rest (default surefire includes + !**/LSMVectorIndexTest.java; an exclusion-only -Dtest would drop the default includes and pick up classes like OpenCypherTCKSuite).
  • coverage-report downloads unit-coverage-reports-* / slow artifacts with merge-multiple; ci-status needs the shard jobs.

Measured in a fork (only this workflow, 3 baseline + 3 fix runs on the same commit, hosted ubuntu-latest):

Baseline (median) This PR (median)
Run wall 59.65 min 45.1 min (−24%)
Unit lane (longest shard) 52.65 min 30.88 min (−41%)
Slow lane (longest shard) 52.41 min 26.71 min (−49%)
Runner time 205 job-min 217 job-min (+6%, two extra JVM setups)

Every fix run was faster than every baseline run. Test counts per shard add up to the old lanes (engine 23,910 + modules 2,938; slow 29 + 338). With this, integration-tests (~36 min) becomes the longest lane, so green PR runs should land around 40 min. Fork runs (agarg21/arcadedb): baseline 40486781341 / 40508283666 / 40525841653, fix 40500006717 / 40517458091 / 40536010598.

Trade-off: two more hosted jobs per PR, ~+12 runner-min per run.

This change was prepared with AI assistance (Claude) and measured in our fork; I reviewed it.

Walkthrough

The workflow splits unit tests by module and slow tests into LSM-vector and remaining-test shards. Reporter and artifact names identify each shard. The coverage collector downloads the four shard artifacts into separate directories and maps them to separate suite identifiers.

Changes: Test workflow sharding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define test shards
.github/workflows/mvn-test.yml
The unit-test job uses two module shards. The slow-unit-test job separates LSM-vector tests from the remaining tests. Reporter, failed-test report, and coverage artifact names include the shard.

Merge Risk: Low · up to a4f5d

The test sharding should shorten CI time, but engine coverage reported to coverage services may drop for lines covered only by tests in the modules shard. Production behavior is unaffected. Compare merged engine coverage against a baseline run, or merge execution data across shards, before relying on the coverage numbers.

@lvca lvca added this to the 26.11.1 milestone Oct 28, 2026
Both slow shards run -pl engine and upload engine/target/site/jacoco/jacoco.xml, so merge-multiple
extracted them onto the same path and one shard's report replaced the other's. A pattern download
also let a missing shard pass the collector unnoticed. Download the four shard artifacts by name into
separate directories and name each to collect-coverage-reports.sh as a suite of its own.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve engine coverage from tests in the modules shard.

The modules shard excludes engine from its reactor. Its aggregate report cannot include execution data from module tests that exercise engine classes. The engine shard reports only execution data from engine-shard tests. The collector passes separate XML files to coverage services; it does not merge shard execution data or generate a cross-shard JaCoCo aggregate report.

Collect execution data from every shard and generate one aggregate report with the engine class files. Compare merged engine coverage with a baseline run on the same commit.

Review of PR #10887: shard unit-tests and slow-unit-tests

I read the diff of .github/workflows/mvn-test.yml by hand. I did not run the workflow, and I did not run the .github/scripts checks. Overall the change looks correct and the approach is sound. There are no blockers, only a few things to confirm before merge.

Looks good

  • The second commit (a4f5dda) fixes both CodeRabbit findings. Each shard artifact is downloaded by name into its own directory. collect-coverage-reports.sh gets one suite per shard, so a missing shard fails the collector. The two slow shards (both -pl engine) can no longer overwrite each other's jacoco.xml.
  • Every artifact and check name carries ${{ matrix.shard }}: the reporter names, unit-test-reports-*, unit-coverage-reports-* and slow-unit-*. I found no collisions.
  • fail-fast: false is the right choice here. A failing shard doesn't cancel the other, so the fork-measured timings and the per-shard verdicts stay meaningful.
  • check-test-results.py is still run per shard. Its empty-result-set failure now also covers a shard that runs nothing.
  • The rest pattern spells out the default surefire includes plus !**/LSMVectorIndexTest.java. The comment explains why, and I agree: an exclusion-only -Dtest drops the default includes. -Dsurefire.failIfNoSpecifiedTests=false is reasonable.
  • LSMVectorIndexTest is tagged @Tag("slow") (line 69), so -Dgroups=slow -Dtest=LSMVectorIndexTest selects it.
  • ci-status already lists unit-tests and slow-unit-tests in needs. A matrix job's result aggregates all of its shards, so no needs change is required.
  • The .github/scripts/tests/test-ci-scripts.sh references to unit-tests and unit-coverage-reports are self-contained fixtures. I don't see them depending on the real workflow.

Things to confirm

  1. Branch protection and required checks. Matrix jobs report as unit-tests (engine), unit-tests (modules), slow-unit-tests (lsm-vector) and slow-unit-tests (rest). If branch protection or the Mergify queue rules require the old unit-tests / slow-unit-tests names, PRs will wait forever for a check that no longer exists. If the only required check is ci-status, nothing needs to change. Please check the repository settings and the Mergify config.
  2. Engine coverage from the modules shard (CodeRabbit's outside-diff comment on line 197). Server, HA and other module tests used to exercise engine classes inside one reactor, and the JaCoCo aggregate credited those lines to the engine. With -pl '!engine,...', the modules shard reports coverage only for the modules it builds, so engine lines hit only by those tests drop out of the engine report. Codecov and Sonar merge reports by file, so the effect should be small. The author's measurement covers wall time, not coverage. Compare the engine coverage percentage on this PR with a recent main run, and say in the PR if a small drop is expected and accepted.
  3. Modules shard dependency on engine artifacts. !engine means the modules shard resolves arcadedb-engine and its test-jar from ~/.m2. That is the "Install ArcadeDB Maven artifacts" step, which untars the artifacts built by build-and-package. The CLAUDE.md warning about stale artifacts doesn't apply here, because the artifacts come from the same commit. The fork runs show 2,938 tests in the modules shard, which supports this.
  4. Remaining overlap. vector-unit-tests and the lsm-vector slow shard both run vector-index tests. The CI lanes are meant to partition tests. LSMVectorIndexTest is slow and not vector, so each runs in exactly one lane. This is fine, but it is worth confirming that no other class is tagged both ways.

Minor and optional

  • The quoted -pl '${{ matrix.modules }}' is fine. The ! in the value is only an issue unquoted in an interactive shell.
  • Each shard adds JVM and Maven setup, which accounts for the +12 runner-minutes the PR already states.

Verdict: approve once item 1 is confirmed. Item 2 is a judgment call for the maintainers.

On the red checks in run 40721422432, and on the review's items 1 and 2. None of the failures come from the shard split:

  • unit-tests (engine) / unit-tests (modules): the failing tests are the ones currently failing on main. main run 40763365437 has Issue10782SearchClauseSelectiveWhereTest, CreateDocumentTypeStatementExecutionTest, Issue10673LateSampleRecordBeforeCommitTest, Issue10153AlreadyExistsTest and Issue10533ClientsHonourTheMarksTest. WALGroupCommitTest also fails intermittently on main (run 40715345996). The other suites in both shards pass.
  • coverage-report: the collector found every shard report. The job then failed at the Codacy upload (Either a project or account API token must be provided) because repository secrets aren't passed to PRs from forks. The same step passes on main.
  • claude-review (the automatic one): Could not fetch an OIDC token. It's the same fork-PR limitation.
  • Item 1, required checks: the public API shows no branch protection and no rulesets on main (branches/main → protected: false; rules/branches/main → []). The Mergify config isn't in the repo. If its queue conditions name unit-tests or slow-unit-tests, they need the shard names or CI Status.
  • Item 2, engine coverage: I haven't measured it. The review is right that engine lines covered only by tests in other modules no longer count toward the engine report from the modules shard. I can't produce the comparison from a fork because the Codacy upload needs the token. Happy to change the split if you want those lines counted.
