From 76ef139c82c92f0d31c78df398dcde06b8dca22b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: fcostaoliveira Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:43:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Fix O(n^2) compress on duplicate/low-cardinality input (MOD-17228) td_qsort used a single central pivot and recursed both partitions. On a run of equal keys the partition peels one element per level -> O(n^2) comparisons and O(n) recursion depth. Duplicate/low-cardinality input is t-digest's common case (it summarizes streams of repeated measurements), so this is not an adversarial edge: a compress over N buffered equal values is quadratic. Because compress runs inline on the calling thread, a large such compress stalls that thread for the full O(n^2). Measured through the RedisBloom TDIGEST commands on Redis 8.8.1: 430k identical values -> a single TDIGEST.QUANTILE (which triggers compress) blocks the server ~98s. Replace the sort with 3-way (Dutch-national-flag) partitioning plus tail-recursion elimination: equal keys collapse in a single pass (O(n log n) even for all-equal input) and recursing only the smaller side bounds the stack to O(log n). Output is identical to the previous sort. Single compress of N identical values, before -> after: 50k: 1,238 ms -> 1.0 ms 100k: 4,994 ms -> 2.0 ms 200k: 20,069 ms -> 3.2 ms 5M: (hours) -> 80 ms Verified: existing unit suite passes unchanged, plus a new test (all-equal / ascending / descending, 50k each) asserting sorted centroids and correct quantiles; 20,000 randomized parallel-array sort trials; ASan/UBSan clean.

Replace the 3-way quicksort with an introsort: 3-way (Dutch-flag) partitioning for duplicate runs, a median-of-three pivot, and a recursion-depth limit that falls back to heapsort -- guaranteeing O(n log n) worst case and O(log n) stack for any input. Small ranges finish with insertion sort. [P2] Add a complexity regression that OBSERVES the bound instead of relying on correctness/timing: build the library with TD_INSTRUMENT_SORT (a key-comparison counter, zero-cost otherwise), force ONE large compress over an adversarial midpoint-killer permutation, and assert the comparison count stays within an O(n log n) bound (a quadratic sort would need ~n^2/2). New ctest target `td_sort_complexity_test`. Also fixes the cmake unit-test build so ctest runs (minunit needs _POSIX_C_SOURCE, hidden by -std=c99). [P2] The "output is identical" claim was wrong for weighted duplicates: the equal-key order differs, changing how weighted centroids merge. Drop the claim (the sort stays within t-digest's accuracy guarantee) and add `test_weighted_duplicates_accuracy` asserting correct quantiles/CDF/min/max/size. Verified: 22 unit tests / 5.15M assertions + complexity test pass via ctest; ASan+UBSan clean; introsort O(n log n) confirmed on ascending/descending/ all-equal/organ-pipe/center/sawtooth/random over 20k randomized parallel-array trials; clang-format OK.

Test leaf-ness (`i < n/2`) before forming the child index; for i < n/2, 2*i+1 <= n and cannot overflow. - td_add: reject NaN (EINVAL) before mutating. The centroid sort assumes a total order over means, but NaN compares false to everything and would leave a partition unsorted, breaking td_compress()'s invariant. Matches the reference t-digest; +/-Inf remain accepted (valid ordering). Documented in tdigest.h; added test_add_nonfinite covering NaN-reject / Inf-accept / sorted. - td_sort_complexity_test: the distinct "midpoint killer" was not adversarial for the pre-PR Lomuto sort (partition swaps destroy the midpoint layout; ~1.7M comparisons, under the old bound), so a quadratic revert would pass it. Replace with two measured, multi-size regressions: Part A sorts N identical values -- the actual MOD-17228 vector, where the pre-PR sort is exactly n^2/2 and the 3-way partition is exactly 2n -- and asserts a linear bound; Part B drives the heapsort fallback directly (~1.78 n log2 n) and asserts an O(n log n) bound with a flat normalized ratio across sizes. - Fix the macro redefinition: the file `#define TD_INSTRUMENT_SORT` clashed with CMake's `-DTD_INSTRUMENT_SORT=1`, which -Werror (ENABLE_SANITIZERS) rejects. Guard it with `#ifndef`. - tests/CMakeLists.txt: use CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR/../src so the include path survives add_subdirectory() consumption.

Rejecting !isfinite at ingest keeps every stored mean finite. Header + test_add_nonfinite updated to assert +/-Inf are rejected and the repeated-+Inf reproducer stays empty. - Complexity test Part B rewritten. The old helper drove td_heap_sort() in isolation, so removing the depth-limit fallback did not fail it. It now generates a median-of-three killer with McIlroy's quicksort adversary (run against a faithful mirror of this introsort's comparison sequence), feeds it through the real td_compress()/td_qsort(), and asserts across sizes that the heapsort fallback is actually reached (new td_sort_heap_fallbacks counter), the comparison count stays O(n log n) (measured ~5.7 n log2 n; the same input without the fallback is ~n^2/2, ~3000 n log2 n at n=1e5), and the ratio is flat. Removing the fallback fails both the fallback-reached and bound asserts. Part B uses modest sizes because killer generation is itself O(n^2).
