This paper presents a **HyperLogLog-based approach** to tombstone garbage collection that uses probabilistic cardinality estimation to detect when tombstones have reached sufficient distribution. +When synchronizing records in a distributed network, deletion presents a fundamental challenge. If nodes simply delete their local copies, other nodes may resynchronize the original data, reverting the deletion. This occurs due to non-simultaneous events between nodes or nodes temporarily disconnecting and reconnecting with outdated state. The traditional solution creates "tombstone" records that persist after deletion to prevent resurrection of deleted data. -We compare this approach against traditional methods—time-based garbage collection and causal stability detection—analyzing trade-offs in memory, coordination requirements, and failure tolerance. +While effective, this approach requires every node to indefinitely maintain an ever-growing collection of tombstone records. Typically, after an arbitrarily large time period, tombstones are assumed safe to clear since no rogue nodes should retain the original data. + +This paper presents a methodology using the HyperLogLog algorithm to estimate how many nodes have received a record, comparing this estimate against the count of nodes that have received the corresponding tombstone. This enables pruning tombstones across the network to a minimal set of "keeper" nodes (typically 10-25% of participating nodes), reducing the distributed maintenance burden while maintaining safety guarantees. ## 1. Introduction Distributed systems face an inherent tension between data consistency and storage efficiency when handling deletions. Traditional tombstone-based approaches guarantee correctness but impose unbounded storage growth. Several approaches have been proposed to address tombstone accumulation: -**Time-based Garbage Collection**: Sets a fixed time-to-live (TTL) for tombstones, after which they are automatically deleted[^2]. While storage-efficient, this risks data resurrection if offline nodes reconnect after the GC window. +**Time-based Garbage Collection**: The simplest approach sets a fixed time-to-live (TTL) for tombstones, after which they are automatically deleted[^2]. While storage-efficient, this risks data resurrection if stale nodes reconnect after the GC window. Systems like Apache Cassandra use this approach with configurable `gc_grace_seconds`[^3]. -**Causal Stability Detection**: Prunes tombstones when the system can prove all nodes have observed the deletion[^5]. Implementations vary from vector clocks (tracking operation ordering) to explicit node ID sets (tracking membership). This adds metadata overhead but provides strong guarantees when network conditions allow reliable tracking. +**CRDT Tombstone Pruning**: Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) like OR-Sets accumulate tombstones proportional to the number of unique deleters[^4]. Various pruning strategies have been proposed, including causal stability detection[^5] and garbage collection through consensus[^6], but these typically require additional coordination or strong assumptions about network connectivity. -**Consensus-based Garbage Collection**: Uses coordination protocols to agree on when tombstones can be safely deleted[^6]. Provides strong guarantees but requires synchronization, which may be impractical in partition-prone or high-latency networks. +This paper introduces a novel probabilistic approach using HyperLogLog (HLL) cardinality estimation[^1] that complements these existing techniques. Rather than replacing tombstones entirely, it minimizes the number of nodes that must retain them typically reducing keeper nodes to 10-25% of the network while maintaining safety guarantees against data resurrection. -This paper introduces a **HyperLogLog-based approach**[^1] that approximates causal stability detection using probabilistic cardinality estimation. Instead of tracking exact node sets or vector clocks, it uses constant-size HyperLogLog structures to estimate propagation. This trades exactness for dramatic reductions in memory and bandwidth at scale. +[^1]: Flajolet, P., Fusy, �., Gandouet, O., & Meunier, F. (2007).

Multiple tombstones merge via HLL union operations, and keeper election converges as normal. The keeper percentage is slightly lower than single-deleter baseline (~13% vs ~15%), likely due to faster HLL convergence from multiple sources. + +#### 5.2.5 Network Partition and Heal + +**Scenario**: Network partitions after record propagation, tombstone created in one partition, then network heals. + +```mermaid +sequenceDiagram +participant CA as Cluster A +participant Bridge as Bridge +participant CB as Cluster B + +Note over CA,CB: Phase 1: Record propagates to all nodes +CA->>Bridge: record +Bridge->>CB: record + +Note over CA,CB: Phase 2: Network partitions +Bridge--xCB: connection lost + +Note over CA: Cluster A creates tombstone +CA->>CA: tombstone propagates within A +Note over CB: Cluster B still has record + +Note over CA,CB: Phase 3: Network heals +Bridge->>CB: tombstone propagates to B +CB->>CB: record deleted, keepers elected +``` + +**Results** (averaged over 50 trials): + +| Metric | Cluster A | Cluster B | Total | +|--------|-----------|-----------|-------| +| Nodes | 10 per trial (500 total) | 10 per trial (500 total) | 20 per trial (1000 total) | +| Records deleted | 100% success | 100% success | 100% success | +| Rounds to delete | - | - | 16 | +| Total rounds (partition + heal) | - | - | 717 | +| Final tombstones | 104 (~20.8%) | 52 (~10.4%) | 156 (~15.6%) | + +**Analysis**: The extended total rounds (717) includes the partition period where only Cluster A processes the tombstone. Cluster A retains more keepers (~21%) since it processes the tombstone during partition without cross-cluster communication. Upon healing, Cluster B rapidly receives the tombstone and converges to fewer keepers (~10%). Each cluster maintains independent keepers, providing partition tolerance. +#### 5.2.6 Dynamic Topology + +**Scenario**: Network connections randomly change during both tombstone propagation and garbage collection phases, simulating real-world network churn where peer relationships are not static. + +```mermaid +sequenceDiagram +participant N0 as Node-0 +participant N1 as Node-1 +participant N2 as Node-2 +participant N3 as Node-3 + +Note over N0,N3: Initial topology established +N0->>N1: connected +N1->>N2: connected +N2->>N3: connected + +Note over N0,N3: Tombstone propagation begins +N0->>N1: tombstone + +Note over N0,N3: Topology change: N1-N2 disconnects, N0-N3 connects +N1--xN2: disconnected +N0->>N3: new connection + +Note over N0,N3: Propagation continues on new topology +N0->>N3: tombstone via new path +N3->>N2: tombstone + +Note over N0,N3: Topology continues changing during GC convergence +``` + +**Protocol**: +1.

The dynamic nature of connections does not prevent tombstone propagation or keeper convergence.

New nodes that never received the original record correctly ignore tombstones. The keeper percentage (~8.4%) is notably lower than static networks, as some keepers may depart during the GC phase and remaining keepers consolidate more aggressively when the network topology continues to evolve. + +#### 5.2.8 Random Configuration Changes + +**Scenario**: Mixed workload with simultaneous record additions, connection changes, and disconnections during both tombstone propagation and garbage collection phases. + +```mermaid +graph TD +subgraph "Configuration Changes During Propagation and GC" +A[Tombstone Created] --> B{Every 8 rounds} +B --> C[30%: Add new unrelated record] +B --> D[30%: Add new peer connection] +B --> E[40%: Remove peer connection] +C --> F[Continue propagation/GC] +D --> F +E --> F +F --> B +end +``` + +**Protocol**: +1.

Unrelated records do not interfere with tombstone propagation. Connection changes create alternative propagation paths.

Records are deleted within 9-17 gossip rounds, with most scenarios completing in 10 rounds. Bridged networks require more rounds (17) due to single-bridge bottleneck. + +2. **Effective garbage collection**: Tombstones converge to 8.8-22.8% of nodes as keepers. The median keeper retention is ~13%, representing an 85-90% reduction in tombstone storage distribution compared to full replication. + +3. **Dynamic networks improve convergence**: Counter-intuitively, network dynamism improves keeper consolidation: + - Node churn: 8.8% keepers (42% reduction vs baseline) + - Dynamic topology: 13.1% keepers (14% reduction vs baseline) + - Random config changes: 13.6% keepers (11% reduction vs baseline) + + This occurs because dynamic networks create more diverse communication patterns and departing keepers accelerate consolidation. + +4. **Topology-aware keeper distribution**: + - Bridged networks maintain independent keepers per cluster (18.3% in origin cluster vs 12.3% in remote cluster) + - Partitioned networks show asymmetric distribution (20.8% in partition with tombstone origin vs 10.4% in healing partition) + +5. **Graceful degradation under adversity**: + - Sparse networks (15% connectivity) retain more keepers (22.8%) for appropriate redundancy + - Partial propagation scenarios still achieve 12.4% keeper retention + +6. **Concurrent safety**: Multiple simultaneous deleters (3 nodes) do not cause conflicts and achieve 13.1% keeper retention, comparable to single-deleter scenarios. + +## 6. Trade-offs + +| Aspect | Impact | +|--------|--------| +| **Memory** | ~1KB per tombstone (HLL at precision 10) | +| **Bandwidth** | HLLs transmitted with each gossip message (~2KB per tombstone message) | +| **Latency** | GC delayed until keeper convergence (~100 rounds after deletion) | +| **Consistency** | Eventual - temporary resurrection attempts are blocked but logged | + +## 7. Properties + +The algorithm provides the following guarantees: + +- **Safety**: Tombstones are never prematurely garbage collected. A tombstone is only deleted when the node has received confirmation (via HLL estimates) that the tombstone has propagated to at least as many nodes as received the original record. + +- **Liveness**: Keepers eventually step down, enabling garbage collection. The tie-breaker mechanism ensures convergence even when HLL estimates are identical. + +- **Fault tolerance**: No single point of failure. Multiple keepers provide redundancy, and any keeper can propagate the tombstone. + +- **Convergence**: Keeper count monotonically decreases over time within each connected component. + +## 8. Conclusion + +This paper presented a HyperLogLog-based approach to tombstone garbage collection in distributed systems. By tracking record and tombstone propagation through probabilistic cardinality estimation, the algorithm reduces the number of nodes maintaining tombstones to 10-25% of the network (the "keeper" nodes). + +**Storage Trade-offs**: Each HLL-based tombstone requires approximately 2KB (two HLL structures at precision 10), compared to ~64-100 bytes for traditional simple tombstones. This means the algorithm trades per-tombstone storage overhead for reduced tombstone distribution. The approach is most beneficial when: +- Traditional tombstones are large (e.g., containing vector clocks, content hashes, or audit metadata) +- The primary concern is reducing the number of nodes participating in tombstone maintenance + +The simulation results, based on 450 trials across 9 scenarios, demonstrate consistent behavior across diverse network topologies and failure scenarios. Records are deleted within 9-17 gossip rounds (mean: 10.8), and tombstones converge to 8.8-22.8% of nodes as keepers (mean: 14.1%). Notably, dynamic network conditions actually improve keeper consolidation rather than hindering it. The algorithm gracefully handles partial propagation, network partitions, concurrent deletions, and continuous topology changes. + +Future work may explore adaptive HLL precision based on network size, integration with vector clocks for stronger consistency guarantees, and optimization of the keeper convergence rate. -The HyperLogLog approach trades exactness (~3% error) for dramatic scalability—constant memory and bandwidth regardless of network size. For networks that may grow unpredictably, this provides a robust foundation without configuration changes. ## References -A working simulation is available at [simulations/hyperloglog-tombstone/simulation.ts](/simulations/hyperloglog-tombstone/simulation.ts). \ No newline at end of file +A working simulation implementing this algorithm is available at [simulations/hyperloglog-tombstone/simulation.ts](/simulations/hyperloglog-tombstone/simulation.ts). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/simulations/hyperloglog-tombstone/simulation.ts b/simulations/hyperloglog-tombstone/simulation.ts index 685e92a..337be46 100644 --- a/simulations/hyperloglog-tombstone/simulation.ts +++ b/simulations/hyperloglog-tombstone/simulation.ts @@ -93,8 +93,7 @@ interface NodeState { readonly id: string;
