Summary

  • Registers a finalizer (operator.dataverse.redhat.com/udp-finalizer) on UDP CRs so all child stage CRs are explicitly deleted before the pipeline is fully removed
  • Uses r.Patch (merge patch) to remove the finalizer, avoiding StorageError: Precondition failed conflicts when concurrent reconciles race on the same deletion event

Notes

  • Does not delete any S3 filestore data or destination bucket data — only the Kubernetes stage CRs are removed
  • E2e teardown deletes the UDP CR but does not currently wait for full deletion; with the finalizer in place the object takes a moment longer to disappear. Low risk if the controller is running during teardown, but worth adding a wait.For(conditions.ResourceDeleted(...)) call in the teardown for correctness

Test plan

  • Create a UDP CR with multiple stages and verify all stage CRs are created
  • Delete the UDP CR and confirm all child stage CRs are deleted before the UDP itself disappears
  • Verify no StorageError or spurious ERROR logs appear in the controller during deletion
  • Verify S3 filestore data is untouched after pipeline deletion

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented resource deletion events from triggering unnecessary reconciliation.
    • Improved handling when managed resources are removed or no longer found.
    • Resources marked for deletion are processed cleanly, while unrelated retrieval errors continue to be reported.
  • Resource Cleanup

    • Added safer deletion handling for unstructured data pipelines.
    • Deletion now waits for cleanup to finish and confirms the pipeline has been removed.
    • Pipelines receive cleanup protection before validation and processing begins.

Walkthrough

The controllers reject delete events. The UnstructuredDataPipeline reconciler now manages UDPFinalizer during creation and deletion. End-to-end teardown waits for confirmed resource removal.

Changes

Controller deletion lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
UDP finalizer reconciliation
internal/controller/unstructureddatapipeline_controller.go
The reconciler retrieves the pipeline before health checks, adds UDPFinalizer to active pipelines, and removes it during deletion.
Delete-event filtering
internal/controller/chunksgenerator_controller.go, internal/controller/destinationsyncer_controller.go, internal/controller/documentprocessor_controller.go, internal/controller/sourcecrawler_controller.go, internal/controller/vectorembeddingsgenerator_controller.go
The controllers reject delete events before reconciliation while retaining existing watch predicates.
Deletion completion validation
test/e2e/unstructured_test.go
End-to-end teardown polls until the pipeline is absent and fails after two minutes if deletion does not complete.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c51bf

Stage controllers will no longer reconcile deleted resources, reducing deletion-related noise while preserving normal reconciliation behavior. No merge-blocking current-head risk remains.

from claude:

  1. (Critical) GenerationChangedPredicate blocks the deletion event on the UDP controller. The UDP controller uses GenerationChangedPredicate on its For source. When a user deletes a UDP CR that has the new finalizer, the API server sets metadata.deletionTimestamp — that's an UPDATE event, not a DELETE, and it doesn't change .metadata.generation. So GenerationChangedPredicate returns false, handleDeletion never runs, the finalizer is never removed, and the CR is stuck in Terminating forever. Ironically, the author acknowledged this exact predicate behavior in the comment about finalizer addition (lines 106-108) but didn't apply the same fix to the deletion path.

  2. handleDeletion does nothing besides removing the finalizer. No child CRs are explicitly deleted — Kubernetes GC still cascade-deletes them via ownerReferences after the parent is gone, identical to behavior without a finalizer.

  3. WithEventFilter also suppresses Secret delete events. On SourceCrawler and DestinationSyncer, the controller-level filter blocks delete events from all sources including Secret watches, so the controller won't notice when a referenced Secret is deleted.

  4. (Minor) Finalizer addition uses r.Update instead of r.Patch, making it conflict-prone. The deletion path correctly uses MergeFrom patch.

result: Code review of PR #346 complete — found 1 critical bug (GenerationChangedPredicate will block deletion events, permanently stranding CRs in Terminating), plus 3 additional issues (no-op handleDeletion, Secret delete events suppressed, Update vs Patch inconsistency).

Registers a finalizer on UDP CRs so that all child stage CRs are
explicitly deleted before the pipeline is allowed to be fully removed.
Uses r.Patch to remove the finalizer, avoiding StorageError conflicts
when concurrent reconciles race on the same deletion event.

Also fixes stage controllers (SourceCrawler, DocumentProcessor,
ChunksGenerator, VectorEmbeddingsGenerator, DestinationSyncer) to use
client.IgnoreNotFound on their initial r.Get, suppressing spurious
error logs when a CR is reconciled after it has already been deleted.
if err := r.Get(ctx, req.NamespacedName, destinationSyncCR); err != nil {
logger.Error(err, "failed to get DestinationSyncer CR")
return ctrl.Result{}, err
return ctrl.Result{}, client.IgnoreNotFound(err)
