+/**
+ * Asynchronous retry queue with a file-backed dead-letter queue (DLQ) for failed
+ * cloud SST uploads.
+ *
+ * 
Retry strategy

+ * 
    
+ *   
  • When {@code maxAttempts == 0} (default), failures go directly to the DLQ with no
+ *       whole-file retry. The provider is expected to handle its own retries internally
+ *       (e.g. S3 multipart-part-retry).
    • 
+ *   
  • When {@code maxAttempts > 0}, the first retry is scheduled after
+ *       {@code initialDelayMs} milliseconds.
    • 
+ *   
  • Subsequent retries use exponential backoff: {@code delay = initialDelayMs * 2^(attempt-1)},
+ *       capped at {@code maxDelayMs}.
    • 
+ *   
  • After {@code maxAttempts} consecutive failures the task is moved to the DLQ.
    • 
+ *   
  • If the local SST file no longer exists at retry time (compacted away by RocksDB)
+ *       the retry is silently dropped — there is nothing to upload.
    • 
+ * 

+ *
+ * 
Dead-letter queue (DLQ)

+ * 
    
+ *   
  • In-memory: {@link #getDlqEntries()} returns a snapshot.
    • 
+ *   
  • On-disk: entries are appended to {@code /.cloud-upload-dlq.tsv} in a
+ *       tab-separated format so they survive JVM restarts. Existing entries are loaded
+ *       back into memory at construction time.
    • 
+ *   
  • {@link #replayDlq()} retries all DLQ entries immediately; successful uploads are
+ *       removed and the file is rewritten. Failed entries are re-submitted to the retry
+ *       queue with a fresh attempt cycle.
    • 
+ * 

+ *
+ * 
Thread safety

+ * All public methods are thread-safe. The in-memory DLQ is a {@link ConcurrentLinkedDeque};
+ * disk I/O is serialised onto the internal {@link ScheduledExecutorService} (for appends)
+ * or synchronised explicitly (for rewrites).
+ *
+ * 
Lifecycle

+ * Call {@link #close()} (e.g. from a Spring {@code @PreDestroy} method) to shut down the
+ * background executor gracefully.

+/**
+ * Test that verifies RocksDB behavior when exceptions are thrown from
+ * the {@link CloudStorageEventListener#onTableFileCreated} callback.
+ *
+ * 
Key scenarios:
+ * 
    
+ *   
  • Upload provider throws an exception → captured and logged, retry queue engaged
    • 
+ *   
  • RocksDB does NOT crash when listener throws
    • 
+ *   
  • Multiple listeners can be registered; one failure doesn't prevent others
    • 
+ *   
  • Exception crosses JNI boundary safely (RocksDB swallows it)
    • 
+ * 

+ *
+ * 
Run with:
+ * 
+ * mvn test -pl hugegraph-store/hg-store-node \
+ *   -Dtest=RocksDBCallbackExceptionBehaviorTest \
+ *   -am -DskipTests=false

Subject: [PATCH 05/12] feat(store): implement pluggable cloud storage for
 HStore #3081 - Improved review comments. - Synced METADATA, CURRENT AND
 OPTIONS to cloud so that we can recover the DB after cluster crash scenarios.
 - Improved the resiliancy and reduced the data loss possibilities.

+## Total-Loss Recovery from Cloud
+
+Steps 1–8 prove that SSTs **and** a consistent metadata set (`CURRENT` / `MANIFEST-*` /
+`OPTIONS-*`) reach the object store. This section proves the payoff: a store that loses its local
+RocksDB data reopens **from cloud** with all data intact, rather than as an empty DB.
+
+**Scenario:** write → flush → compact → **wipe local RocksDB state** → restart → recover.
+
+**What is wiped, and why.** Each store keeps two independent trees under
+`/hugegraph-store/storage`: the RocksDB **state machine** (`db/` + the `hgstore-metadata` graph —
+this holds `CURRENT`/`MANIFEST`/`OPTIONS`/SSTs, and is what cloud metadata-sync mirrors) and the **Raft** tree
+(`raft/`, `snapshot/`). This procedure deletes only the state-machine data and **preserves `raft/`**,
+so the node rejoins its Raft group cleanly while RocksDB is forced to re-hydrate its data from cloud
+on open (the `preHydrateDbFiles` path). This isolates and deterministically exercises recovery.
+
+> **Stronger variant — full disk loss.** Deleting the *entire* volume (Raft included) is a harder
+> test: with every replica's Raft state gone the group must re-form, so recovery then also depends
+> on Raft/PD orchestration, not cloud alone. The automated default flow uses the state-machine
+> wipe above; the full-volume variant is described at the end of this section.
+
+### Automated
+
+```bash
+$REPO_ROOT/docker/cloud-storage/scripts/test-graph-queries-and-sst.sh --keep-stack
+```
+
+This loads 150 vertices, restarts the stores to force flush + compaction, waits for
+event-triggered metadata sync to publish `CURRENT`/`MANIFEST`, asserts the consistent set is in every bucket,
+wipes each store's RocksDB state (preserving `raft/`), restarts, and confirms the recovered vertex
+count matches the pre-wipe baseline. It fails loudly if the consistent-restore guard trips
+(`Cloud restore inconsistent`) or the counts differ.
+
+### Manual
+
+Start from a running stack with data loaded (Steps 1–6), then:
+
+#### Step R1: Capture a baseline and force data into SSTs
+
+```bash

+sleep 120
+```
+
+#### Step R2: Confirm the consistent metadata set is durable in MinIO
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh --network "$HG_NET" minio/mc:RELEASE.2025-08-13T08-35-41Z \
+  -c 'mc alias set local http://minio:9000 minioadmin minioadmin >/dev/null && \
+      for b in hugegraph-store0 hugegraph-store1 hugegraph-store2; do \
+        echo "### $b: CURRENT=$(mc find local/$b --name CURRENT | wc -l)" \
+             "MANIFEST=$(mc find local/$b --name "MANIFEST-*" | wc -l)" \
+             "OPTIONS=$(mc find local/$b --name "OPTIONS-*" | wc -l)" \
+             "SST=$(mc find local/$b --name "*.sst" | wc -l)"; \
+      done'
+```
+
+**Expected:** every bucket reports `CURRENT>=1`, `MANIFEST>=1`, `SST>=1`. This is the concrete
+guarantee — the pointer and manifest that make the SSTs a usable database are present.
+
+#### Step R3: Simulate local RocksDB state loss (preserve Raft)
+
+```bash
+for i in 0 1 2; do
+  vol="cloud-storage-test_hg-store${i}-data"   # 'cloud-storage_hg-store${i}-data' for the static compose
+  docker compose -f $REPO_ROOT/docker/cloud-storage/docker-compose.yml stop store$i 2>/dev/null \
+    || docker stop cloud-storage-store$i
+  # Delete db/ and the metadata graph; keep raft/ and snapshot/ so the node rejoins cleanly.
+  docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh -v "${vol}:/s" minio/mc:RELEASE.2025-08-13T08-35-41Z \
+    -c 'cd /s && for d in *; do case "$d" in raft|snapshot) ;; *) rm -rf "$d";; esac; done; echo "store'"$i"' left: $(ls -1 | tr "\n" " ")"'
+  docker compose -f $REPO_ROOT/docker/cloud-storage/docker-compose.yml start store$i 2>/dev/null \
+    || docker start cloud-storage-store$i
+done
+```
+
+#### Step R4: Verify recovery from cloud
+
+```bash
+# Wait for stores to become healthy again.
+for i in 0 1 2; do
+  for _ in $(seq 1 60); do
+    curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:$((8520 + i))/v1/health >/dev/null 2>&1 && break || sleep 3
+  done
+done
+
+# Pre-hydration should have run; the consistent-restore guard must NOT have tripped.
+docker compose -f $REPO_ROOT/docker/cloud-storage/docker-compose.yml logs store0 store1 store2 \
+  | grep -iE "Cloud pre-hydration finished|Cloud restore inconsistent" | tail -10
+
+AFTER=$(curl -s --compressed http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph/graph/vertices \
+  | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(len(json.load(sys.stdin).get('vertices',[])))")
+echo "recovered vertex count = $AFTER (baseline was $BEFORE)"
+[[ "$AFTER" == "$BEFORE" ]] && echo "✅ RECOVERY SUCCESS" || echo "❌ recovery mismatch"
+```
+
+**Success criteria:**
+- ✅ Logs show `Cloud pre-hydration finished` for the wiped partitions
+- ✅ Logs contain **no** `Cloud restore inconsistent` message (the guard would fire if `CURRENT`
+  pointed at a manifest that never reached cloud)
+- ✅ `AFTER == BEFORE` — the data came back from cloud, not an empty DB
+
+**Full disk-loss variant (stronger).** Replace Step R3 with a full volume wipe:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f $REPO_ROOT/docker/cloud-storage/docker-compose.yml rm -sf store0 store1 store2
+for i in 0 1 2; do docker volume rm cloud-storage-test_hg-store${i}-data 2>/dev/null || true; done
+docker compose -f $REPO_ROOT/docker/cloud-storage/docker-compose.yml up -d store0 store1 store2
+```
+
+Recovery then depends on Raft group re-formation in addition to cloud pre-hydration; use it to
+validate the whole-cluster loss path once the state-machine path above passes.
+

 Notes:
 
 - Keep `path-prefix` stable across restarts to preserve object-key continuity.
 - If `provider` is not found on classpath, initialization fails fast in `CloudStorageProviderFactory`.
-- Upload retry uses a two-layer model: S3 part-level retries (inside one `uploadFile()` call) are handled by the provider; whole-file retries are handled by `CloudUploadRetryQueue` only when `upload-retry-max-attempts > 0`.
-- Failed uploads that exhaust all attempts (or with `maxAttempts=0`) are moved to the dead-letter queue (DLQ) persisted at `/.cloud-upload-dlq.tsv`.
+- Upload retry uses a two-layer model: S3 part-level retries (inside one `uploadFile()` call) are handled by the provider; whole-file retries are handled by `CloudUploadRetryQueue` when `upload-retry-max-attempts > 0` (default `3`).
+- `CloudStorageNonRetryableException` thrown by a provider bypasses immediate retries. The file remains unconfirmed and is automatically retried on the next compaction via the delete guard.
+- Failed uploads are tracked via metrics (`cloud_storage_upload_failures_total`) and structured logs. Automatic retry occurs on subsequent compactions; no manual recovery needed.
+- Backpressure blocks the RocksDB compaction thread for at most 30 s (`BACKPRESSURE_MAX_WAIT_MS`) even if the backlog remains above the watermark after that window.
+- Metadata sync publishes a consistent `CURRENT`/`MANIFEST`/`OPTIONS` (plus WAL tail when `wal-mode: wal`) snapshot so a full-disk-loss node can reopen from cloud.
+- Metadata sync is always enabled when cloud storage is enabled.
+- Metadata sync is event-triggered by storage events; there is no background interval scheduler.
 - Provider-specific properties (e.g., bucket, region, credentials) are configured under `cloud.storage..*` namespace.
+- **Operational observability**: Monitor metrics and logs to track sync progress (see "Observability: Metrics & Logs" section above).

 ### Write-path notes
 
 - On DB creation (`onDBCreated`), existing local SST files are scanned and uploaded if missing in cloud.
-- An async flush is triggered so WAL-recovered/in-memory data materializes into SST and gets uploaded.
-- Remote object key is derived from local path relative to Store data root.
+  A MemTable flush is triggered via `onDBCreated` (event-driven, not a background async task) so
+  WAL-recovered/in-memory data materializes into SST files and gets mirrored to cloud.
+- Remote object key is always scoped per store node:
+  **`//`** e.g. `hugegraph/store-127.0.0.1_8501/0/000001.sst`.
+  `store-scope-prefix` is derived from `raft.address` at startup (see `AppConfig.buildCloudStoreScopePrefix()`).
+  This guarantees key uniqueness across nodes even when multiple Store nodes share the same bucket.
+- After every successful upload, `syncTracker.markConfirmed(dbName, fileNumber)` sets the corresponding
+  bit in a per-`dbName` in-memory bitmap (`CloudSyncTracker`). This bitmap is the fast path used by the
+  delete guard (`allConfirmed`) to avoid per-file cloud API calls on the hot compaction thread.
+- The delete guard (`ensureLiveSetUploaded`) checks the **entire current live SST set**, not just the file
+  being deleted. Reason: the old SST being confirmed says nothing about whether its compaction outputs
+  (replacement files) are durable. Only when every live file is confirmed does the delete proceed.
+- MANIFEST/CURRENT is published to cloud **before** the old SST is deleted, so that a recovery attempt
+  always has a consistent metadata + data state to restore from.
 
 ## 4) Read Path
 
 Two hydration modes exist:
 
-1. **Startup pre-hydration (`onDBOpening`)**: download missing remote files before serving.
+1. **Startup pre-hydration (`onDBOpening`)**: download missing remote files before serving,

 2. **Read-miss hydration (`onReadMiss`)**: if local read misses, fetch missing SST from cloud, ingest, and retry.

 ### Read-path notes
 
+- All `listFiles` calls use the **`//`** namespace so each store node
+  only sees and downloads its own SST files, even when multiple nodes share the same bucket.
 - A guard window (`read-miss-guard-window-ms`) throttles repeated hydration attempts for the same db/table pair.
 - Only missing local SST files are downloaded.
 - Non-SST objects are ignored for read-miss ingestion.
+- After startup pre-hydration, `syncTracker` is fully seeded from the remote listing. Subsequent
+  compaction delete guards use the in-memory bitmap (`allConfirmed`) and do **not** issue
+  `provider.fileExists()` round-trips on the hot compaction thread.

+- If `uploadFile()` still throws a regular `IOException`, `CloudUploadRetryQueue.submit()` enqueues the task for up to `upload-retry-max-attempts` whole-file retries with exponential backoff.
+- If `uploadFile()` throws `CloudStorageNonRetryableException`, the task bypasses retries and skips the upload queue.
+- After all retry attempts are exhausted (or if non-retryable), the file remains unconfirmed in the bitmap. The file stays on disk and is **automatically retried on the next compaction** via the delete guard (`ensureLiveSetUploaded`).
+
+#### Observability: Metrics & Logs
+
+Instead of a persistent DLQ, the system provides real-time observability through metrics and structured logs:
+
+**Metrics (exposed to Prometheus/monitoring):**
+
+- `cloud_storage_unconfirmed_files_total` (gauge, labeled by `db_name`) — Count of SST files not yet confirmed in cloud bitmap. High value → uploads are failing or slow.
+- `cloud_storage_upload_failures_total` (counter, labeled by `db_name`, `cf_name`, `error_type`) — Total upload failures (transient + permanent). Tracks upload problem frequency.
+- `cloud_storage_retry_queue_size` (gauge) — Files waiting in the upload retry queue. Indicates backlog of pending uploads.
+- `cloud_storage_sync_latency_ms` (histogram, labeled by `db_name`) — Time from SST file creation (onTableFileCreated) to bitmap confirmation (markConfirmed). Measures sync speed.
+- `cloud_storage_delete_guard_reupload_count` (counter, labeled by `db_name`) — Number of files re-uploaded by the delete guard when live set was not fully durable. Indicates frequent upload failures.
+
+**Structured Logs:**
+
+Log entries provide visibility into sync progress and failures:
+
+- **Startup (bitmap seeding)**: `"Seeded sync-tracker bitmap with N confirmed files from remote listing: dbName=..."`
+  - Indicates: bitmap is warm after restart, delete guard can use fast path.
 
-#### Accessing the DLQ
+- **Delete guard checking**: `"Checking live set durability: dbName=..., liveFileCount=..., unconfirmedCount=..."`
+  - Indicates: delete guard evaluated M files, found K unconfirmed.
+
+- **Delete guard re-upload**: `"Re-uploading M unconfirmed live files (not yet confirmed in cloud): dbName=..., files=[...], reason=live_set_not_durable"`
+  - Indicates: files failed to sync on first attempt, being re-attempted now.
+
+- **Delete guard re-upload success**: `"Successfully confirmed L previously unconfirmed files; delete proceeding: dbName=..., oldSstFile=..."`
+  - Indicates: re-upload succeeded, old SST can now be safely deleted.
+
+- **Delete guard skipped**: `"Delete skipped (live set not fully durable in cloud): dbName=..., oldSstFile=..., unconfirmedFiles=[...], nextRetryAt=..."`
+  - Indicates: at least one live file is still not durable. Delete is held. Retry will occur on next compaction.
+
+- **Upload failure (first attempt)**: `"Upload failed (will retry): dbName=..., cfName=..., filePath=..., attempt=1/3, error=..."`
+  - Indicates: transient failure, will be retried.
+
+- **Upload failure (exhausted retries)**: `"Upload failed permanently after 3 retries: dbName=..., cfName=..., filePath=..., error=..., nextRetryOnCompaction=..."`
+  - Indicates: all retries exhausted. File stays on disk; will retry automatically on next compaction.
+
+**Example: Finding unsynced files**
+
+Query metrics in your monitoring system:
+
+```promql
+# Find databases with unconfirmed files
+cloud_storage_unconfirmed_files_total > 0
+
+# Alert if unconfirmed count grows over time
+rate(cloud_storage_unconfirmed_files_total[5m]) > 0
+```
 
-DLQ entries are persisted on disk and can be inspected directly:
+Or search logs:
 
 ```bash
-cat /.cloud-upload-dlq.tsv
+# Find all delete-guard re-uploads in the past hour
+kubectl logs -l app=hugegraph-store --since=1h | grep "Re-uploading.*unconfirmed"
+
+# Find all permanently-failed uploads
+kubectl logs -l app=hugegraph-store | grep "Upload failed permanently"
+
+# Track a specific file
+kubectl logs -l app=hugegraph-store | grep "filePath=/path/to/000123.sst"
 ```
 
-Format: `failedAt \t attemptCount \t dbName \t cfName \t filePath \t remoteKey \t lastError`
+**Automatic retry without DLQ:**
+
+- Files that fail to upload remain unconfirmed in the bitmap.
+- On the next compaction that touches the same DB, the delete guard calls `ensureLiveSetUploaded`, which:
+  1. Checks bitmap for all current live files
+  2. For any unconfirmed file, attempts upload again (idempotent PUT)
+  3. On success, updates bitmap; on failure, logs and holds delete
+- This cycle repeats automatically; no manual DLQ replay needed.
+- Upload success rate and retry frequency are tracked via metrics and logs.
 
-To replay DLQ entries, use the in-process `CloudUploadRetryQueue.replayDlq()` path from Store runtime code.
+**Tuning:**
 
-If whole-file retries are needed (e.g. for a provider without internal retry), set:
+To control retry behavior:
 
 ```yaml
-cloud.storage.upload-retry-max-attempts: 3   # enable 3 whole-file retry attempts
-cloud.storage.upload-retry-initial-delay-ms: 1000
-cloud.storage.upload-retry-max-delay-ms: 60000
+cloud.storage.upload-retry-max-attempts: 3         # Immediate retries on first failure
+cloud.storage.upload-retry-initial-delay-ms: 1000  # Start backoff at 1s
+cloud.storage.upload-retry-max-delay-ms: 60000     # Cap backoff at 60s
+```
+
+If the provider handles all retry logic internally, disable whole-file retries:
+
+```yaml
+cloud.storage.upload-retry-max-attempts: 0   # No immediate retries; rely on delete guard auto-retry
 ```
 
 ### Delete failures (non-fatal)
@@ -294,6 +459,56 @@ cloud.storage.upload-retry-max-delay-ms: 60000
 
 - Unknown provider name or missing plugin JAR fails initialization in `CloudStorageProviderFactory`.
 - Provider switching/re-init is handled with close-and-reinitialize semantics.
+- If no active provider is found at runtime (provider is `null`), all event callbacks (`onTableFileCreated`, `onTableFileDeleted`, `onReadMiss`) return immediately without error, so RocksDB continues normally without cloud mirroring.
+
+### Non-retryable upload failures (`CloudStorageNonRetryableException`)
+
+- Providers can signal a permanently failed upload by throwing `CloudStorageNonRetryableException` from `uploadFile()`.
+- This exception bypasses the whole-file retry loop and marks the file as unconfirmed (no bitmap entry).
+- The file remains on disk and is **automatically retried on the next compaction** via the delete guard's re-upload logic.
+- The S3 provider uses this when `multipart-exhausted-direct-dlq: true` and all multipart part retries are exhausted, preventing pointless full-file re-attempts for a part that consistently fails.
+- Metrics (`cloud_storage_upload_failures_total`) and logs track the failure for operational visibility.
+
+### Backpressure timeout
+
+- When `upload-backpressure-high-watermark > 0` and the pending-upload backlog (retry-queue in-flight + DLQ size) exceeds the watermark, `onTableFileCreated` parks the RocksDB flush/compaction thread in 50 ms increments.
+- After `30 000 ms` (`BACKPRESSURE_MAX_WAIT_MS`) the backpressure wait exits unconditionally and the new SST upload is attempted regardless, to prevent a permanent RocksDB stall.
+- A warning log is emitted when backpressure starts, and an info log when it is released.
+
+### Delete guard failure (live set not fully durable)
+
+- Before deleting a superseded SST from cloud, `onTableFileDeleted` verifies the entire current live SST set is confirmed present in cloud (`ensureLiveSetUploaded`).
+- If any live SST cannot be confirmed durable (e.g. a prior upload failed), the delete is skipped with a warning log.
+- The unconfirmed file remains on disk. On the next compaction, the delete guard will re-attempt upload for all unconfirmed files.
+- **Observability**: Metrics `cloud_storage_unconfirmed_files_total` and `cloud_storage_delete_guard_reupload_count` track the frequency. Logs show which files are unconfirmed and why the delete was held.
+- **Impact**: Orphaned (but safe) old object may remain in cloud temporarily. Data integrity is preserved because the replacement files are not yet confirmed durable.
+
+### Metadata snapshot capture failure
+
+- `syncMetadataSnapshotInline` calls `RocksDBFactory.captureMetadataSnapshot()`. If this returns `null` (e.g. the DB is not open or the checkpoint could not be acquired), the metadata sync is skipped and returns `false`.
+- When called from `onTableFileDeleted`, a `null` snapshot causes the delete to be held with a warning log, preserving the old SST in cloud until a valid snapshot can be published.
+
+### Metadata publish failure (SST durability check fails)
+
+- `uploadMetadataSnapshot` first ensures all manifest-referenced SSTs are present in cloud. If any SST cannot be made durable, the method aborts before uploading `MANIFEST` or `CURRENT`, returns `false`, and logs a warning.
+- The previous durable generation (prior `CURRENT`/`MANIFEST`) is left intact in cloud, so a recovery attempt still has a valid consistent state to restore from.
+- An `IOException` during upload of `OPTIONS`/`MANIFEST`/`CURRENT` also aborts the publish with a warning.
+
+### S3 multipart upload failures
+
+- **Initiation failure**: if `CreateMultipartUpload` fails, `uploadFile()` throws `IOException` immediately (no part retries). The whole-file retry queue then handles it if `upload-retry-max-attempts > 0`.
+- **Part retry exhaustion**: individual part upload failures are retried up to `multipart-part-retry-max-attempts` times with exponential backoff (`multipart-part-retry-base-backoff-ms`). When all part retries are exhausted, the multipart upload is aborted.
+- **Abort failure**: if the `AbortMultipartUpload` call itself fails, the failure is logged as a warning. The incomplete multipart upload may remain in the bucket (incurring storage cost) until an S3 lifecycle rule or manual cleanup removes it.
+- **Direct-DLQ on part exhaustion**: when `multipart-exhausted-direct-dlq: true`, part-retry exhaustion throws `CloudStorageNonRetryableException`, bypassing whole-file retries.
+
+
+### Local file compacted away during retry
+
+- When a local SST file is compacted into a new merged SST (e.g., SST1 → MERGED_SST), the old SST1 may still be unconfirmed in the bitmap if its upload failed.
+- On the next compaction involving MERGED_SST, the delete guard checks if MERGED_SST is confirmed. If not, it re-attempts upload.
+- If SST1 was compacted away, its local file no longer exists, so no retry is attempted for SST1 itself.
+- However, the data from SST1 is now present in MERGED_SST in cloud (or will be on next attempt). Once MERGED_SST is confirmed, SST1 can be safely deleted from cloud.
+- Metrics track `cloud_storage_delete_guard_reupload_count` to monitor how often the delete guard needs to re-upload files.

+  annotations:
+    summary: "Store node {{ $labels.instance }} 95th percentile sync latency is {{ $value }}ms"
+    action: "Check network link to cloud provider; consider tuning upload concurrency"
+```
+
+**Logs to monitor:**
+
+```bash
+# Watch for re-uploads (delete guard re-attempting failed uploads)
+kubectl logs -f -l app=hugegraph-store | grep "Re-uploading.*unconfirmed"
+
+# Watch for permanently-failed uploads (still retried, but worth investigation)
+kubectl logs -f -l app=hugegraph-store | grep "Upload failed permanently"
+
+# Watch for delete-skipped events (delete guard holding old SSTs)
+kubectl logs -f -l app=hugegraph-store | grep "Delete skipped.*not fully durable"
+
+# Trace a specific unconfirmed file
+kubectl logs -f -l app=hugegraph-store | grep "filePath=/path/to/000123.sst"
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Symptom: `cloud_storage_unconfirmed_files_total` stays > 0**
+
+- **Cause**: Uploads are failing and not recovering.
+- **Action**:
+  1. Check logs for "Upload failed permanently" messages — what's the error?
+  2. Verify cloud provider credentials and connectivity: `curl https://s3-endpoint/bucket-name`
+  3. Check if bucket exists and Store node has put/get/delete permissions.
+  4. Verify `cloud.storage.path-prefix` matches actual S3 prefix where Store expects to write.
+  5. If a specific file is stuck, manually trigger sync via admin API or wait for next compaction.
+
+**Symptom: Delete operations are slow or stalling**
+
+- **Cause**: Delete guard is re-uploading many files; backpressure may be active.
+- **Action**:
+  1. Check logs for "Re-uploading M unconfirmed files" — how many?
+  2. If backpressure is active, monitor `cloud_storage_retry_queue_size`. Once it drains, delete resumes.
+  3. Increase `upload-backpressure-high-watermark` if you want to allow more local-only data during cloud outages.
+
+**Symptom: High `cloud_storage_sync_latency_ms`**
+
+- **Cause**: Uploads are slow. Could be network, object size, or cloud provider latency.
+- **Action**:
+  1. Check average file size: `ls -lh /data/raft/*/db-*/` (larger files take longer)
+  2. Measure network throughput: `iperf3` or cloud provider bandwidth test.
+  3. Check if S3 multipart upload is enabled and tuned (reduces latency for large files).
+
+### General Best Practices
+
 - Prefer stable `path-prefix` and bucket naming; changing them affects object lookup continuity.
 - Keep plugin JAR versions aligned with Store version to avoid SPI/API mismatch.
 - Track logs around upload, hydration, and provider init to detect divergence early.
 - For DR drills, test both node-level restart and full-cluster restart with cloud hydration enabled.
+- Set up alerts on the key metrics (`unconfirmed_files_total`, `upload_failures_total`, `sync_latency_ms`) to catch issues early.

-## Total-Loss Recovery from Cloud
+### Step 8.5 (Optional): Verify Managed Delete/Clear Cleanup
 
-Steps 1–8 prove that SSTs **and** a consistent metadata set (`CURRENT` / `MANIFEST-*` /
-`OPTIONS-*`) reach the object store. This section proves the payoff: a store that loses its local
-RocksDB data reopens **from cloud** with all data intact, rather than as an empty DB.
+This step validates the delete path used by single-graph deployments: `graph.clear()` should clean the
+remote DB prefix so stale data is not rehydrated later.
 
-**Scenario:** write → flush → compact → **wipe local RocksDB state** → restart → recover.
+> **Warning:** This deletes graph data. Run it after Step 8, and re-run Steps 3-8 if you want to run
+> the recovery scenario in the next section.
 
-**What is wiped, and why.** Each store keeps two independent trees under
-`/hugegraph-store/storage`: the RocksDB **state machine** (`db/` + the `hgstore-metadata` graph —
-this holds `CURRENT`/`MANIFEST`/`OPTIONS`/SSTs, and is what cloud metadata-sync mirrors) and the **Raft** tree
-(`raft/`, `snapshot/`). This procedure deletes only the state-machine data and **preserves `raft/`**,
-so the node rejoins its Raft group cleanly while RocksDB is forced to re-hydrate its data from cloud
-on open (the `preHydrateDbFiles` path). This isolates and deterministically exercises recovery.
+```bash
+GRAPH_NAME=hugegraph
+BUCKET=hugegraph-store0
 
-> **Stronger variant — full disk loss.** Deleting the *entire* volume (Raft included) is a harder
-> test: with every replica's Raft state gone the group must re-form, so recovery then also depends
-> on Raft/PD orchestration, not cloud alone. The automated default flow uses the state-machine
-> wipe above; the full-volume variant is described at the end of this section.

-This loads 150 vertices, restarts the stores to force flush + compaction, waits for

-count matches the pre-wipe baseline. It fails loudly if the consistent-restore guard trips

+### Scope: managed delete vs accidental local loss

+- Current behavior intentionally treats a missing local DB directory as a **recovery** case and hydrates from cloud when remote objects exist.
+- Intentional delete/reset is recognized only through the managed deletion flow (`RocksDBFactory.destroyGraphDB()` -> `onDBDeleteBegin`/`onDBDeleted`) that writes and then purges the DB tombstone marker.
+- If a local DB directory is removed outside the managed flow, no tombstone callback is emitted; hydration may restore data from cloud for the same DB path.
+- This is an accepted scope tradeoff for now to prioritize accidental local-loss recovery.
+- Future hardening can add explicit generation/epoch markers to distinguish external manual delete from disaster recovery.

 - In-flight data (not yet flushed to SST) is recovered from Raft logs when quorum-replicated.
 - Cloud storage recovery primarily protects flushed SST state and disaster cases involving local disk loss.
 - Synchronous SST upload reduces catastrophic-loss RPO compared with periodic upload mode.
+- Recovery correctness is protected by the metadata-before-delete invariant: before deleting superseded SSTs, Store confirms manifest-referenced SST durability and publishes updated `MANIFEST`/`CURRENT`, preventing stale or missing-manifest references after compaction retries.

Subject: [PATCH 07/12] feat(store): implement pluggable cloud storage for
 HStore #3081 - Implemented review comment Cloud upload blocks the RocksDB
 event thread, S3 service failures bypass the provider retry
 contract,Multipart wrapping erases the direct-DLQ marker,Release metadata
 lists different dependency versions, improved test reporting.

+### Metadata capture, the sync window, and RPO
+
+> **The RocksDB WAL is disabled in HStore.** The state-machine write path calls
+> `dbSession.setDisableWAL(true)` (`BusinessHandlerImpl`, comment: *"raft mode, disable rocksdb
+> log"*) because the **Raft log** — replicated across the partition's peers — is the durability
+> source for recent writes, not the RocksDB WAL. RocksDB `*.log` segments therefore stay empty, and
+> cloud storage never mirrors a WAL; the discussion below is about how recent writes reach cloud and
+> how current the cloud copy is.
+
+#### How recent writes reach cloud (force-flush-and-mirror)
+
+Each metadata capture uses RocksDB `Checkpoint.createCheckpoint`, which flushes the MemTable,
+persisting the un-flushed tail into a new L0 SST that is then mirrored. Because the RocksDB WAL is
+disabled, this forced flush is the **only** mechanism that proactively pushes recent
+(still-in-MemTable) writes into cloud. When the MemTable is empty the flush is a no-op.
+
+- *Cloud RPO for the recent tail:* bounded by the metadata-sync cadence
+  (`metadata-sync-debounce-ms` / `metadata-sync-max-unpublished`).
+- *Cost:* a small extra L0 SST per non-empty capture (write amplification + cloud object churn +
+  compaction pressure), whose frequency is bounded by the debounce window. The Raft log is the
+  tail's durability source for any single/partial-node loss regardless of cloud cadence.
+
+#### Is the metadata-sync debounce a data-loss window?
+
+No uploaded SST bytes are ever lost to the debounce. In `SstUploadTask.run()` the SST object is
+uploaded to cloud **first** (the code notes *"the SST is already durable in cloud"*); only the
+subsequent `CURRENT`/`MANIFEST` **pointer publish** is debounced. So the window is a **bounded
+metadata / recovery-point lag, not a byte-loss hole**:
+
+- The newest uploaded SST(s) may exist in cloud but not yet be *referenced* by the mirrored MANIFEST
+  for up to `metadata-sync-debounce-ms` (default 1 s) **or** `metadata-sync-max-unpublished` SSTs
+  (default 32), whichever comes first. A leading-edge + trailing publish guarantees the final state
+  is always published even if writes then stop; `onCompacted` / `onDBCreated` / delete-guard /
+  shutdown-drain publish **inline** (never debounced).
+- This lag becomes observable data loss **only** under a total, simultaneous loss of *all* Raft
+  peers' local state followed by a cloud-only restore that lands inside that ≤1 s / ≤32-SST window —
+  then the newest unreferenced SSTs are orphans not in the restored set.
+- For any lesser failure (single / partial node loss) the **Raft log** holds the committed tail and
+  is the primary recovery source, so the cloud metadata lag is irrelevant. Restore is also
+  fail-closed consistent (the "Cloud restore inconsistent" guard never restores a `CURRENT` that
+  references a missing MANIFEST — worst case an older but fully consistent point).
+
+To tighten the cloud recovery point — at the cost of more frequent metadata publishes and forced
+flushes — lower `metadata-sync-debounce-ms` (`0` = publish on every SST)
+and/or `metadata-sync-max-unpublished`.

 - Recovery correctness is protected by the metadata-before-delete invariant: before deleting superseded SSTs, Store confirms manifest-referenced SST durability and publishes updated `MANIFEST`/`CURRENT`, preventing stale or missing-manifest references after compaction retries.
 - Policy note: for how managed delete vs accidental local-loss is distinguished during hydration, see `## 4) Read Path` -> `Scope: managed delete vs accidental local loss`.

 3. **Path normalization**: Always use `pathPrefix` correctly (see S3 example for reference).
-4. **Error handling**: Throw `IOException` for operational issues. Implement your own internal retry logic (see `S3CloudStorageProvider` for reference). The common `CloudUploadRetryQueue` provides a DLQ safety net but does not retry by default (`upload-retry-max-attempts=0`).
+4. **Error handling**: Throw `IOException` for operational (retryable) issues, or `CloudStorageNonRetryableException` for permanent failures that should skip whole-file retries. Implement your own internal retry logic where useful (see `S3CloudStorageProvider` for reference). The common `CloudUploadRetryQueue` performs whole-file retries by default (`upload-retry-max-attempts=3`) and backs them with a bounded, file-backed DLQ.
 5. **Logging**: Use SLF4J (via `@Slf4j`) for consistent log levels with Store.
 6. **Configuration validation**: Validate all required fields in `init()` and fail fast.

+/**
+ * In-process integration test suite for the cloud storage subsystem.
+ *
+ * 
        Design
        
+ * All tests run without any network I/O. A {@link FakeCloudStore} replaces the real S3 provider:
+ * it is an in-memory, thread-safe key-value store that faithfully implements every method of
+ * {@link CloudStorageProvider}, including {@link CloudStorageProvider#deletePrefix} partial-failure
+ * injection, {@link CloudStorageProvider#downloadFile} atomic-write simulation, and upload fault
+ * injection. Every test seeds the fake store, runs the production listener, and makes assertions
+ * directly against the fake store's state.
+ *
+ * 
        Coverage
        
+ * Each test targets a specific behaviour fixed by the review comments:
+ * 
          
+ *   
        1. {@code sst_uploadAndDownload_roundTrip} — basic upload/download produces identical content
          2. 
+ *   
        2. {@code preHydration_writesFilesAtomically} — temp file is never exposed at the final path
          3. 
+ *   
        3. {@code preHydration_removesStaleHydTmpFiles} — stale .hyd-tmp cleaned on next hydration
          4. 
+ *   
        4. {@code preHydration_multiRoot_usesCorrectDataRoot} — files go to the matching data root
          5. 
+ *   
        5. {@code tombstone_writtenAsSiblingOfDataPrefix} — key is {@code _DELETED}, not {@code /_DELETED}
          6. 
+ *   
        6. {@code tombstone_preventsHydrationOfDeletedGeneration} — stale data is never downloaded
          7. 
+ *   
        7. {@code tombstone_survivesPartialPurge} — tombstone is NOT deleted when purge throws
          8. 
+ *   
        8. {@code tombstone_deletedAfterCleanPurge} — tombstone IS deleted when purge succeeds
          9. 
+ *   
        9. {@code deletePrefix_partialFailure_reportedAsError} — partial S3 errors surface as IOException
          10. 
+ *   
        10. {@code metadata_publishOrder_currentLastAfterSsts} — CURRENT uploaded only after SSTs
          11. 
+ *   
        11. {@code metadata_staleSnapshot_rejectedByGenerationCheck} — older generation never overwrites newer
          12. 
+ *   
        12. {@code metadata_concurrentPublish_onlyLatestGenerationWins} — concurrent syncs serialized per-DB
          13. 
+ *   
        13. {@code retryQueue_failedUpload_retriedAndConfirmed} — retry queue eventually marks file confirmed
          14. 
+ *   
        14. {@code retryQueue_exhausted_sentToDlq} — exhausted retries land in DLQ, not lost silently
          15. 
+ *   
        15. {@code readMiss_hydration_restoresMissingLiveFile} — missing live SST is restored on read miss
          16. 
+ *   
        16. {@code readMiss_guardWindow_suppressesRepeatAttempts} — guard window dedups rapid re-hydration
          17. 
+ *   
        17. {@code deleteGuard_blocksDeleteUntilLiveSetDurable} — delete is held until replacements are in cloud
          18. 
+ *   
        18. {@code backpressure_slowsCallerWhenBacklogExceedsWatermark} — upload threads block under load
          19. 
+ *

- * Test that verifies RocksDB behavior when exceptions are thrown from

- *
- * 
        Key scenarios:
- * 
          
- *   
        • Upload provider throws an exception → captured and logged, retry queue engaged
          • 
- *   
        • RocksDB does NOT crash when listener throws
          • 
- *   
        • Multiple listeners can be registered; one failure doesn't prevent others
          • 
- *   
        • Exception crosses JNI boundary safely (RocksDB swallows it)
          • 
- *
