Follow-up to #1112.

tinybird deploy rejects trace_facets_hourly: its 30-day TTL is shorter than its monthly partition period ("This can make TTL cleanup inefficient"). Partition by day (toDate(Hour)), the same as trace_list_mv. With this change, tinybird deploy --check passes against maple_eu.

  • Migration 0034 edited in place. It reached prod with the API deploy a few hours ago, and no schema apply has run since. A BYO ClickHouse cluster that applied the old DDL would only have monthly partitions, which ClickHouse accepts. The DDL still matches the emitter snapshot, as the migration test asserts.
  • Local schema v25. v24 is frozen once it's on main, so v25 drops and recreates the rollup, then rebuilds it from trace_list_mv. v24 and v25 share one backfill constant. No CLI release has shipped v24.

Verification: clickhouse:schema:check, tinybird:manifest:check, the CLI local-store migration tests, the domain migration and retention tests, and tinybird deploy --check against maple_eu.

Devin Review

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Hourly trace-facet data is now partitioned by day instead of month, with existing 30-day retention preserved.
    • Existing local stores rebuild the hourly trace-facet rollup during migration to the updated schema.

Tinybird rejects the deploy: a 30-day TTL is shorter than the monthly
partition period. Partition by day instead, like trace_list_mv.

Migration 0034 is edited in place: it shipped with the API a few hours
ago and no cluster has applied it, and a BYO ClickHouse cluster that did
would only carry the coarser partitioning, which ClickHouse accepts. Local
schema v25 recreates the rollup and rebuilds it from trace_list_mv, since
v24 is frozen once on main.

Maple review

Confidence 4/5 · likely safe to merge
The load-bearing constants are right (bfaed79b…f941 recomputed for v25), and the new local step only drops and rebuilds a 30-day derived rollup from its source MV.
quality 100/100 · no findings · tests covered · risk medium

Partitions trace_facets_hourly by day instead of month, so the 30-day TTL no longer outruns the partition period and tinybird deploy accepts the datasource. Adds local store step v24 -> v25 to recreate and rebuild the rollup, and bumps LOCAL_SCHEMA_VERSION to 25. Safe to merge.

  • trace_facets_hourly moves to PARTITION BY toDate(Hour)
  • Migration 0034's CREATE statements edited in place to match the emitter
  • New step local-0024-to-0025-trace-facets-hourly-daily-partition drops and rebuilds the rollup
  • LOCAL_SCHEMA_VERSION is 25 with a frozen v25 snapshot and history entry
What was checked
  • Recomputed the v25 digest: local-schema.sql and local-schema-v25.sql both normalize to bfaed79bcf2423f5…
  • New step's drops and backfill satisfy the existing IF EXISTS idempotency sweep (local-store-migrations.test.ts:584)
  • Emptied rollup rebuilds from trace_list_mv, which retains the same 30 days

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The trace facets rollup now uses daily partitions instead of monthly partitions. Local schema version 25 adds a migration that recreates and rebuilds the rollup from retained root spans. Schema identity metadata, project revision identifiers, and migration checks are updated.

Changes

Hourly trace-facets daily partition

Layer / File(s) Summary
Daily partition schema and v25 identity

The trace facets partition expression changes from month to calendar date. Local schema metadata and identity advance to version 25, and project revision identifiers are updated.
Recreate and backfill the local rollup
apps/cli/src/server/local-store-migrations/steps.ts
The backfill SQL is shared with the v23-to-v24 step. The v24-to-v25 migration drops the facet view and table, bootstraps the schema, and rebuilds the rollup from retained root spans.
Validate v25 identity and migration chains
apps/cli/test/local-store-migrations.test.ts, apps/cli/test/native-local-store-migration.sh
The tests and native-store probe expect schema version 25. Migration-chain expectations include the v24-to-v25 step, and the future-schema fixture uses version 26.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f4a34

Confirm whether existing ClickHouse databases have applied migration 0034 and provide a follow-up migration if they have; otherwise, those databases will retain the old partition layout.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f4a34

The rebuild is staged while the local store is stopped, and no new authorization path was identified. Risk remains in how installations that already applied the older database migration converge on the daily-partition layout and in the unverified completeness of a rebuilt rollup.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A failed or inaccurate rebuild could affect the facet data served by the affected local store; the inspected change does not show a new caller, credential, tenant-access rule, or privileged sink. Runtime consumer coverage remains incomplete.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The local cutover is gated by stopped-store checks, a maintenance lock, staged-store verification, and journal-bound promotion recovery. These controls constrain exposure of a partially rebuilt target during the inspected migration path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Truncate-before-insert supports repeatable rebuilding after interruption, but physical-schema and raw-source checks do not independently prove that promoted facet aggregates are complete.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider checking rebuilt facet totals or aggregates against the retained source before promotion if trace facets are relied on for operational detection; this would make silent rollup drift observable.

🟡 Existing facet rollups retain monthly partitions

On clusters that already applied version 34, migration_0034_trace_facets_hourly never runs again. Apply migrations skips recorded versions, leaving their facet rollups partitioned monthly.

Learn more

ClickHouse schema migrations are versioned. Once version 34 has been recorded, the CLI and API apply paths skip it on later runs. Editing its CREATE TABLE statement changes only clusters that have not applied it; an existing monthly-partitioned table cannot be converted by CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS. The existing migration also truncates the rollup, so simply replaying it without replacing the table would not change its partition key.

Example: A BYO cluster applied version 34 last week and has PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(Hour). Applying this release skips version 34, so it still uses monthly partitions while a new cluster uses daily ones.

Recommended fix: Preserve version 34's original DDL and append a new migration that drops the materialized view, recreates the table with daily partitions, backfills it from trace_list_mv, reattaches the view, and records a new migration version. Account for source retention and retries when rebuilding the existing rollup.

Known and accepted (see the PR description). The daily partition exists for Tinybird, which rejects a TTL shorter than the partition period; ClickHouse accepts the monthly one, and the schema diff compares columns only, so such a table reads as up to date and serves the same queries. 0034 shipped with the API a few hours before this, and no schema apply has run since, so no cluster is expected to carry it. A drop-and-rebuild migration for a hypothetical cluster would cost every BYO org a 30-day backfill for no functional change.

- Line 63: Add a new ClickHouse migration after migration 0034 that replaces
trace_facets_hourly with the intended partition definition and backfills its
data. Do not rely on rerunning migration 0034, since recorded versions are
skipped and CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS will not alter an existing table’s
