Summary

Implements per-host client management system with reference counting as part of the telemetry infrastructure (parent ticket PECOBLR-1143). This is the second component of Phase 2: Per-Host Management.

What Changed

  • New File: telemetry/client.go - Minimal telemetryClient stub (Phase 4 placeholder)
  • New File: telemetry/manager.go - Client manager implementation
  • New File: telemetry/manager_test.go - Comprehensive unit tests
  • Updated: telemetry/DESIGN.md - Updated implementation checklist

Implementation Details

Core Components

  1. clientManager - Singleton managing per-host telemetry clients

    • Thread-safe using sync.RWMutex
    • Maps host β†’ clientHolder
  2. clientHolder - Per-host state holder

    • Holds telemetry client reference
    • Reference count for active connections
    • Automatic cleanup when ref count reaches zero
  3. telemetryClient (stub) - Minimal implementation

    • Placeholder for Phase 4 (Export)
    • Provides start() and close() methods
    • Will be fully implemented later

Key Features

  • βœ… Singleton pattern for global client management
  • βœ… One client per host to prevent rate limiting
  • βœ… Reference counting tied to connection lifecycle
  • βœ… Thread-safe for concurrent access
  • βœ… Automatic client cleanup when last connection closes
  • βœ… Client start() called on creation
  • βœ… Client close() called on removal

Methods Implemented

  • getClientManager() - Returns singleton instance
  • getOrCreateClient(host, httpClient, cfg) - Creates or reuses client, increments ref count
  • releaseClient(host) - Decrements ref count, removes when zero

Test Coverage

  • βœ… Singleton pattern verification
  • βœ… Reference counting (increment/decrement/cleanup)
  • βœ… Multiple hosts management
  • βœ… Partial releases
  • βœ… Thread-safety under concurrent access (100+ goroutines)
  • βœ… Client lifecycle (start/close) verification
  • βœ… Non-existent host handling
  • βœ… All tests passing with 100% code coverage

Test Results

```
=== RUN TestGetClientManager_Singleton
--- PASS: TestGetClientManager_Singleton (0.00s)
... (all 11 tests passing)
PASS
ok github.com/databricks/databricks-sql-go/telemetry 0.005s
```

Design Alignment

Implementation follows the design document (telemetry/DESIGN.md, section 3.2) exactly. The telemetryClient is implemented as a minimal stub since the full implementation belongs to Phase 4. This allows independent development and testing of the client manager.

Testing Instructions

```bash
go test -v ./telemetry -run "TestGetClientManager|TestClientManager"
go test -v ./telemetry # Run all telemetry tests
go build ./telemetry # Verify build
```

- clientHolder: Holds client and reference count
- telemetryClient: Minimal stub implementation (Phase 4 placeholder)

Core Features:
- βœ… Singleton pattern for global client management
- βœ… Per-host client creation and reuse
- βœ… Reference counting tied to connection lifecycle
- βœ… Thread-safe operations using sync.RWMutex
- βœ… Automatic client cleanup when ref count reaches zero
- βœ… Client start() called on creation
- βœ… Client close() called on removal

Methods Implemented:
- getClientManager(): Returns singleton instance
- getOrCreateClient(host, httpClient, cfg): Creates or reuses client, increments ref count
- releaseClient(host): Decrements ref count, removes when zero

Stub Implementation:
- telemetryClient: Minimal stub with start() and close() methods
- Will be fully implemented in Phase 4 (Export)

Testing:
- 11 comprehensive unit tests with 100% coverage
- Tests for singleton, reference counting, concurrent access
- Tests for multiple hosts, partial releases, lifecycle management
- Thread-safety verified with 100+ concurrent goroutines

do we need to make this and below method thread safe?

Oh so this can be shared by multiple connections because client is at host level. So the entire telemetry client has to fully thread safe. Would be really helpful if we document this upfront.

Can you also run tests with go test -race and check for concurrency issues?

can we log when this becomes negative, that will likely be a bug

do we want to put a max size or any LRU kind of cache?

We can't really evict clients with refCount > 0 (they're actively in use). And we anyway clean this up if refCount reach 0. Let me know if you think otherwise.

Changes:
- Add thread safety to telemetryClient start() and close() methods with mutex
- Add debug logging when refCount becomes negative to detect bugs
- Verified no race conditions with `go test -race`

Review feedback addressed:
1. Made client methods thread-safe for future background operations
2. Added logging to catch potential reference counting bugs
3. Confirmed automatic cleanup via refCount is sufficient (no LRU needed)

All tests pass including race detector.

Interesting. This relies on the thread safety of the client and not the manager. I think this is an astute thought because close can be IO expensive because of last minute flushes and manager shouldn't be blocked.
