Andrey Vasnetsov 68395b4a9b [UIO] Request-specific load profile for read-only opens (#9797)
* Introduce request-specific LoadProfile with per-component placement

A read-only shard opened for one known request (the serverless cold-start
path) doesn't have to warm components the request will never touch.
LoadProfile captures that from the request: warm components keep the
persisted-config placement, everything else is parked cold. All placement
decisions live in one place, so the memory placement of a whole segment
under a profile is reviewable in one file.

* Thread LoadProfile through the read-only segment open

ReadOnlySegment::open takes an optional profile; first_preopen and
open_via resolve it into per-component populate overrides so the opens
make the same placement decisions the prefetches did. Pinned components
that materialize on open regardless (quantized RAM storage kinds, the
immutable-RAM sparse index) and appendable components ignore the
override; the HNSW graph and immutable payload indexes demote fully.
Config reloads follow the new config alone and pass no override.

* Open ReadOnlyEdgeShard under a request-derived load profile

ReadOnlyEdgeShard::open takes an optional LoadProfile, applies it to
every segment open and keeps it so segments discovered by a later
refresh load with the same placement. ScrollRequestInternal and
CoreSearchRequest gain load_profile() constructors, and edge-shard-query
builds the request before the open and passes its profile (opt out with
--no-load-profile).

* Demote pinned quantized vectors and sparse index under a cold profile

Within the immutable layout the quantized RAM and mmap loaders share the
on-disk format — only how the data is brought into memory differs — and
the immutable-RAM sparse index has the same lazy mmap open low-memory
mode already downgrades to. So a cold populate override now demotes the
effective placement itself (Memory::with_populate_override, shared with
the HNSW residency mapping) instead of only skipping cache priming: a
pinned quantized storage opens the mmap kind cold, and a pinned sparse
index opens as Mmap, so neither reads its data on a cold start.

* Add LoadProfile::merge for composite queries

A composite query runs multiple core requests — e.g. a hybrid search
runs one core search per vector, each with its own filter. Its profile
is the union of its parts': merge extends the warm sets and ORs the
payload-storage flag, so a component either part needs warm stays warm.

The union is sound because every placement method is monotone in the
warm sets (growing them only turns "park cold" into "keep configured
placement"), so the merged profile dominates each input; and minimal,
warming nothing no part asked for.

Combine profiles with reduce, not fold: merge's identity element is
the coldest profile (empty warm sets), the opposite of passing no
profile at all — deliberately no empty()/Default constructor exists.

* Adapt vanished-segment test to the profile-aware open signature

The test landed on dev (#9777) after the load-profile signature change
was written, so the rebase left its ReadOnlySegment::open calls without
the new load_profile argument.

* Defer vector index open entirely under a cold load profile

A cold placement is not enough for the vector index on remote backends:
GraphLinksView requires the whole links file as one contiguous slice,
and the disk cache can only lend a borrowed slice once every block is
locally present — so even a Cold HNSW open mirrors the entire
links_compressed.bin (8.2 MB / 1.1 s per segment in the serverless
cold-start trace), plus the unconditional graph.bin metadata read.
The only way not to fetch the index is not to open it.

LoadProfile::vector_index_placement is replaced by
vector_index_deferred: a vector the request never scores now gets a
DeferredVectorIndex — a new VectorIndexReadEnum variant holding the
open arguments (an owned clone of the segment's raw backend, path,
config, shared component handles) and a OnceLock. Nothing is opened or
prefetched for it at segment open.

Per-method policy of the deferred variant:
- search, fill_idf_statistics and populate open the index on first use
  (with the cold placement the profile chose), so the profile contract
  holds: a request the profile did not predict still works, just pays
  the open then;
- is_index reports true without opening (deferral only ever wraps a
  real HNSW or sparse index; plain opens no files and is never
  deferred);
- telemetry, indexed_vector_count and sizes answer conservative
  defaults rather than trigger a remote fetch for a statistic.

Tests: deleting the vector_index directory before an open under a
scroll profile leaves open, filtered reads and payload reads working —
proof that nothing of the index is read — while a search surfaces the
missing files; and a segment opened under a scroll profile answers
searches identically to an eagerly opened one via the transparent
first-use open.

* Make --vector optional in edge-shard-query: random query after open

Omitting --vector on the search sub-command now searches with a random
vector. The request is still built before the shard opens — the load
profile only needs the vector name, not its values — with an empty
placeholder; once the shard is open, fill_random_vector reads the
dimension of the queried vector from the derived shard config and
fills in uniform-random f32s (with a clear error if the named vector
is not in the config).

The vector is generated once, so live-reload iterations re-run the
identical random query and the printed diffs stay meaningful.

* Scope index deferral to the HNSW graph via a lazy OnceLock load

Replace the DeferredVectorIndex wrapper (and the VectorIndexReadEnum::
Deferred variant) with deferral inside ReadOnlyHNSWIndex itself: the
graph lives in a OnceLock (same first-wins arbitration as
ReadOnlyRoaringFlags::bitmap) alongside the retained raw backend and
residency, and loads on first use with a cold placement. The config
read stays eager — one tiny, absence-tolerated file — so telemetry,
is_on_disk and indexed_vector_count report real values where the
Deferred arms answered with hard defaults.

The sparse index needs no deferral: its mmap open reads lazily, with
only small JSON metadata eager. A profile that never scores the vector
now passes a cold placement override (LoadProfile::
vector_index_placement) into the eager open_sparse, which demotes
ImmutableRam to the lazy Mmap open like low-memory mode.

* Express HNSW graph deferral as a populate override, not a bool param

Replace the `deferred: bool` on the read-only HNSW open/preopen (and
the VectorIndexReadEnum pass-through) with the same
`populate_override: Option<Populate>` every other component takes. A
cold *override* defers the graph load — graph_deferred() mirrors the
cold-override match of open_sparse — while a config-derived cold
placement (or the low-memory clamp) keeps the eager load, since only a
request-specific override carries the "never scored" prediction.

With dense and sparse now consuming the same signal,
LoadProfile::vector_index_deferred is gone: a single
vector_index_placement() serves both index kinds.

* Serialize the deferred graph load via once_cell's get_or_try_init

Loading outside the lock (std OnceLock's fallible init is still
unstable) let a search burst on a deferred vector fetch the whole
graph once per thread. Swap the cell for once_cell::sync::OnceCell:
the fallible load runs inside the cell's lock, concurrent first users
block on the one load, and a failed load leaves the cell empty so the
next caller retries.
