Benchmark PR Significant-Gravitas#11008

Type: Clean (correct implementation)

Original PR Title: fix(backend): prevent duplicate graph executions across multiple executor pods
Original PR Description: ## Problem
Multiple executor pods could simultaneously execute the same graph, leading to:

  • Duplicate executions and wasted resources
  • Inconsistent execution states and results
  • Race conditions in graph execution management
  • Inefficient resource utilization in cluster environments

Solution

Implement distributed locking using ClusterLock to ensure only one executor pod can process a specific graph execution at a time.

Key Changes

Core Fix: Distributed Execution Coordination

  • ClusterLock implementation: Redis-based distributed locking prevents duplicate executions
  • Atomic lock acquisition: Only one executor can hold the lock for a specific graph execution
  • Automatic lock expiry: Prevents deadlocks if executor pods crash or become unresponsive
  • Graceful degradation: System continues operating even if Redis becomes temporarily unavailable

Technical Implementation

  • Move ClusterLock to backend/executor/ alongside ExecutionManager (its primary consumer)
  • Comprehensive integration tests (27 test scenarios) ensure reliability under all conditions
  • Redis client compatibility for different deployment configurations
  • Rate-limited lock refresh to minimize Redis load

Reliability Improvements

  • Context manager support: Automatic lock cleanup prevents resource leaks
  • Ownership verification: Locks can only be refreshed/released by the owner
  • Concurrency testing: Thread-safe operations verified under high contention
  • Error handling: Robust failure scenarios including network partitions

Test Coverage

  • ✅ Concurrent executor coordination (prevents duplicate executions)
  • ✅ Lock expiry and refresh mechanisms (prevents deadlocks)
  • ✅ Redis connection failures (graceful degradation)
  • ✅ Thread safety under high load (production scenarios)
  • ✅ Long-running executions with periodic refresh

Impact

  • No more duplicate executions: Eliminates wasted compute resources and inconsistent results
  • Improved reliability: Robust distributed coordination across executor pods
  • Better resource utilization: Only one pod processes each execution
  • Scalable architecture: Supports multiple executor pods without conflicts

Validation

  • All integration tests pass ✅
  • Existing ExecutionManager functionality preserved ✅
  • No breaking changes to APIs ✅
  • Production-ready distributed locking ✅
