A high-performance temporal entity resolution engine in Rust.
Entity resolution (also known as record linkage or data matching) is the process of identifying records that refer to the same real-world entity across different data sources. Unirust adds temporal awareness - it understands that entity attributes change over time and handles conflicts intelligently.
Example: Three records from different systems all referring to "John Doe":
- CRM:
name="John Doe", email="john@old.com"(valid 2020-2022) - ERP:
name="John Doe", email="john@new.com"(valid 2022-present) - Web:
name="John Doe", phone="555-1234"(valid 2021-present)
Unirust will:
- Cluster these as the same entity based on identity keys (name)
- Detect the email conflict during the overlapping 2022 period
- Produce a golden record for any point in time
- Temporal Awareness: All data has validity intervals—merges and conflicts are evaluated per-time-period
- Conflict Detection: Automatic detection of attribute conflicts within clusters
- Distributed: Router + multi-shard architecture for horizontal scaling
- Persistent: RocksDB storage with crash recovery
- Measured Performance: Release baselines use persistent shards and include full entity resolution; see the benchmark below

The examples/ directory demonstrates the supported sharded deployment model:
cluster.rs- Full 3-shard distributed cluster with routerunirust.toml- Persistent router and shard configuration
Run examples:
# Distributed cluster (requires the persistent cluster running first)
SHARDS=3 ./scripts/cluster.sh start
cargo run --example cluster
./scripts/cluster.sh stopPersistent shards use two recovery layers for every ingest request:
- The request is written to a versioned, checksummed binary ingest WAL. The file and its parent directory are synced before entity resolution begins.
- Records, indexes, cluster assignments, and all other state produced by the request are written to RocksDB, then its WAL is synced to stable storage.
- Only after that sync succeeds is the ingest WAL removed and the request acknowledged. Its directory is synced again after removal.
On restart, a remaining ingest WAL is replayed idempotently. A pending WAL is
never overwritten by a later request; a failed ingest therefore requires shard
restart and replay before more traffic is accepted. A truncated or corrupt WAL
is preserved with a .corrupt.* suffix and shard startup fails with a data-loss
error instead of accepting traffic with an unknown recovery gap. Cross-shard
merge redirects are also persisted before acknowledgement and reloaded when the
streaming linker is reconstructed.
The tuple (entity_type, perspective, uid) identifies one immutable source
record. Retrying that identity with the same descriptors is idempotent, including
when descriptor order differs. Reusing it with different values or validity
intervals is rejected instead of acknowledging data that would be discarded.
Temporal revisions must use a new source-record UID; entity resolution links the
snapshots through their configured identity keys.
In a multi-shard cluster, the router first durably reserves that source identity on a shard selected only from the source tuple. The reservation stores a canonical binary payload digest and the original ingest target before the record enters the normal shard entity-resolution path. This prevents a changed identity-key value from routing the same source UID to another shard. If target ingest fails after reservation, retry the exact request; the reservation remains valid and no record has bypassed entity resolution.
Router startup performs a crash-resumable one-time reservation backfill for records written by an earlier release. Each target shard is marked complete only after every exported record has been reserved durably. Conflicting legacy duplicates make startup fail closed for operator repair. The internal router and shard protocol is versioned, and mixed versions are rejected, so upgrades must replace the full cluster with one coordinated Unirust version before restarting the router. Shard gRPC ports are internal APIs; client ingest must use the router. The persisted reservation directory is also bound to the configured shard count. Router startup rejects shard-count changes because the current import API cannot atomically move a record, update its reservation, and delete the old copy. Cross-shard copy imports therefore fail closed; online scale-out and scale-in require a future transactional relocation protocol or an offline rebuild.
Cross-shard redirects are durably applied to every shard and are idempotent. If
any shard fails, or the initiating request is cancelled, while a reconciliation
result is being applied, the router latches the cluster closed for ingest, query,
and administrative traffic rather than serving a partially updated global view.
Retrying Reconcile repairs the retained dirty keys in place. After a router or
full-cluster restart, router startup performs that repair before returning a
serviceable node and clears the dirty generation only after every shard
converges.
Cluster-wide ontology replacement has the same fail-closed cancellation
semantics. Readiness stays failed after an ambiguous partial update until
SetOntology is retried with the intended configuration or every shard is
recovered offline to one configuration. Router startup also rejects mismatched
shard ontologies.
The shard reconstructs all derived linker state before opening its gRPC listener. Recovery scans persisted records in ordered, bounded batches through the normal entity-resolution path, so recovery time remains O(record count). This is a correctness-first crash-recovery path, not a bounded recovery-time guarantee. Measure restart time at the intended dataset size and set orchestration startup probes accordingly.
Global cluster IDs are anchored to durable record IDs so replay order cannot change cross-shard identity. On the first startup of a database created before this scheme marker existed, the shard atomically removes allocation-order redirects that cannot be trusted after replay; router startup reconstructs them from authoritative records before becoming ready. Upgrade every shard and the router together for this transition rather than mixing versions.
LinkerStateConfig cache capacities are not enforced because the current LRU
backend has no durable spill/read-through path. Evicting cluster IDs, strong-ID
summaries, or record perspectives would change entity-resolution results.
Persistent profiles therefore retain this correctness-critical working set in
memory even though their DSU and identity index are disk-backed. The
billion-scale profile must not be treated as proof that a billion-record
deployment fits a given memory or recovery-time budget.
scripts/cluster.sh start and restart preserve DATA_DIR. Only the explicit
reset action deletes shard data, and it requires UNIRUST_CONFIRM_RESET=1.
The script defaults to examples/loadtest-ontology.json; set ONTOLOGY to the
same immutable configuration on every shard and router for another deployment.
Router startup compares the complete ontology reported by every shard and fails
closed on a mismatch.
The destructive gRPC Reset method is disabled by default because a sequential
multi-shard reset cannot be atomic. The supported production reset is the
confirmed offline script action. Test or isolated admin deployments can opt in
with the shard flag --allow-destructive-admin.
The shard and router binaries handle SIGINT/SIGTERM with graceful gRPC shutdown. The shard drains active mutations and flushes dirty DSU and authoritative store state before exit. Acknowledged ingests are additionally covered by an executable-level SIGKILL, restart, SIGTERM, and second-restart integration test.
Use unirust_healthcheck --shard <URI> and
unirust_healthcheck --router <URI> for readiness probes. These call the gRPC
health methods rather than checking only for an open socket. Shard readiness
requires completed WAL recovery and a healthy persistent store; router
readiness additionally requires a consistent reconciliation state and a
successful health response from every configured shard. The provided Compose
deployment and cluster script use these semantic probes.
Router-to-shard calls are bounded by configurable transport settings under
[router]: shard_connect_timeout_secs (10 seconds by default),
shard_request_timeout_secs (120 seconds), and
shard_tcp_keepalive_secs (30 seconds). A deadline error or client cancellation
is not proof that a mutation was rolled back; an admitted ingest continues to a
durable outcome after its caller disconnects. Retry ingest with the same
immutable source-record identity and payload so the operation is resolved
idempotently.
A logical shard can run as one primary and one passive replica on distinct
persistent volumes and failure domains. Both processes use the same shard ID,
ontology, config version, and replication token. Bootstrap both volumes from
the same committed checkpoint, or start with two empty volumes. Primary startup
computes a SHA-256 digest over every logical RocksDB key/value pair on both
nodes and refuses traffic unless their complete durable states match. Pairing
startup is O(database size), so measure it against the production dataset.
Set UNIRUST_SHARD_REPLICA_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_SECS above the measured worst-case
pairing digest time.
Generate a separate secret for each pair, store at least 32 random bytes in a file readable only by the service account, and mount the same content on both nodes. Start the passive replica first:
unirust_shard \
--shard-id 0 \
--data-dir /var/lib/unirust/shard-0-replica \
--backup-dir /var/backups/unirust/shard-0-replica \
--replica-mode \
--replication-token-file /etc/unirust/replication/shard-0.token \
--tls-cert /etc/unirust/tls/shard-0-replica.crt \
--tls-key /etc/unirust/tls/shard-0-replica.key \
--tls-client-ca /etc/unirust/tls/primaries-ca.crtThen start the primary with its normal shard server credentials plus:
unirust_shard \
--shard-id 0 \
--data-dir /var/lib/unirust/shard-0-primary \
--backup-dir /var/backups/unirust/shard-0-primary \
--replica https://shard-0-replica:50061 \
--replication-token-file /etc/unirust/replication/shard-0.token \
--replica-tls-ca /etc/unirust/tls/replicas-ca.crt \
--replica-tls-cert /etc/unirust/tls/shard-0-primary.crt \
--replica-tls-key /etc/unirust/tls/shard-0-primary.keyEvery durable mutation is applied to the replica first, then locally, under one per-pair serialization gate. The primary acknowledges only after both results match. An unavailable or ambiguous replica result latches the primary unhealthy and blocks reads and writes until operators reconcile the pair. Replication therefore protects acknowledged writes from one volume loss, but adds replica latency and requires both nodes to be available for writes.
Failover is manual because Unirust does not implement leader election or quorum fencing:
- Prove the old primary is stopped or isolated from clients and the replica.
- Stop the passive process and restart its volume without
--replica-mode. - Point the router at the promoted endpoint and restart the router.
- Rebootstrap the old primary from a checkpoint of the promoted node before attaching it as a new passive replica.
Never serve the old primary and promoted replica simultaneously. Doing so can create split brain. Online reset is disabled while a primary has a replica; stop and rebootstrap both members together. Keep verified off-host backups for correlated failures, operator mistakes, and storage corruption.
Configure each shard with a unique checkpoint root on storage outside its data directory and, for real volume-loss protection, in a separate failure domain:
[shard]
data_dir = "/var/lib/unirust/shard-0"
backup_dir = "/var/backups/unirust/shard-0"
[router]
# Select this from the deployment RPO. Zero disables automatic checkpoints.
checkpoint_interval_secs = 3600Trigger checkpoints through the router so router-mediated mutations remain blocked for the complete cluster snapshot. A supplied name is created beneath every shard's configured backup root:
grpcurl -plaintext \
-d '{"path":"backup-2026-07-24T1300Z"}' \
127.0.0.1:50060 unirust.RouterService/CheckpointCheckpoint creation uses a two-phase prepare/commit protocol. Every shard first
flushes its in-memory linker state and creates a RocksDB snapshot. Only after
all shards prepare successfully does the router write a binary commit marker to
every snapshot. The response includes the shared generation and
committed: true. A failed generation remains uncommitted and cannot be
restored; retrying the same name is idempotent and completes any missing
prepare or commit steps. Do not call the shard checkpoint RPC directly for a
production backup.
The router scheduler waits one configured interval before its first checkpoint.
If a shard fails during prepare or commit, the scheduler retains and retries the
same immutable generation instead of creating a stream of unrelated partial
snapshots. Successful and failed generations are emitted to structured logs.
The container deployment enables hourly checkpoints by default; set
UNIRUST_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL_SECS explicitly to choose another RPO or 0 to
disable them.
To recover from lost data volumes, stop the complete cluster and restore every shard from the same checkpoint generation into an empty replacement directory:
unirust_shard \
--shard-id 0 \
--data-dir /replacement/shard-0 \
--backup-dir /var/backups/unirust/shard-0 \
--restore-from /var/backups/unirust/shard-0/backup-2026-07-24T1300Z \
--ontology /etc/unirust/ontology.jsonRestore refuses a non-RocksDB source, symlinks, a nonempty destination, and an existing partial staging directory. It also requires matching binary prepare/commit markers, verifies the checkpoint belongs to the requested shard, and opens both the source and staged copy read-only with RocksDB paranoid checks. It copies and syncs into a sibling staging directory before publishing the replacement with one rename. Restore the whole cluster together; restoring only one older shard beside newer peers can violate the cluster snapshot boundary. Each shard retains the committed checkpoint provenance in its replacement data directory and refuses a manifest for another shard. Router startup requires every shard to be either unrestored or restored from the same generation and shard count, then verifies the topology, ontology, and protocol versions before accepting traffic. Mixed restored/unrestored volumes and different committed generations fail closed.
Export a complete committed generation to storage mounted from another failure domain. All shard checkpoint paths must be accessible to the export process:
unirust_backup export \
--destination /mnt/off-host/unirust/backup-2026-07-24T1300Z \
--checkpoint /var/backups/unirust/shard-0/backup-2026-07-24T1300Z \
--checkpoint /var/backups/unirust/shard-1/backup-2026-07-24T1300Z \
--checkpoint /var/backups/unirust/shard-2/backup-2026-07-24T1300Z
unirust_backup verify \
--backup /mnt/off-host/unirust/backup-2026-07-24T1300ZExport validates that every shard is present exactly once and belongs to the
same generation and topology. It copies into a sibling staging directory,
records every file length and SHA-256 digest in a binary manifest, opens every
copied RocksDB checkpoint read-only with paranoid checks, syncs the tree, and
publishes it with one rename. Verification rejects modified, missing, extra, or
symlinked content. Restore from the exported shard-0, shard-1, and
shard-2 directories, not from the deleted local checkpoint roots.
Retention only removes generations after every entry in its root verifies:
unirust_backup prune --root /mnt/off-host/unirust --retain 14The built-in scheduler creates coordinated source checkpoints; it does not automatically run the export command. Schedule export and verification after checkpoint completion, monitor both, and run periodic restore drills. The destination filesystem must provide independent storage and encryption at rest. Without an enabled synchronous replica, the recovery point for a lost volume remains the last successfully exported generation and acknowledged writes after it can be lost. Process crashes and ordinary restarts remain covered independently by the synced ingest and RocksDB WALs.
Router and shard binaries support mutually authenticated TLS. Each server
requires its certificate, private key, and client CA as an all-or-none group.
The router-to-shard client likewise requires a CA, client certificate, and
private key together, and secured shard addresses must use https://. Startup
fails closed for partial certificate groups, unreadable or empty PEM files,
plaintext endpoints paired with TLS configuration, or HTTPS endpoints without
explicit trust configuration. Certificate SANs must match the endpoint host.
Client tools use --tls-ca, --tls-cert, and --tls-key; the semantic health
probe uses --ca-cert, --client-cert, and --client-key. All three options
are required together. Certificate rotation currently requires a process
restart. Production deployments must enable native mTLS on the router and every
shard, or enforce equivalent authenticated TLS through a service mesh. Keep
shard ports private and never expose plaintext gRPC to an untrusted network.
The supplied Compose file is a local plaintext example and binds its router
port to loopback only.
Replication additionally uses a per-pair shared token. The shard binary rejects
plaintext replication by default; --allow-insecure-replication exists only
for isolated development. Protect token files as credentials, rotate them by
stopping and restarting both members, and use different tokens for every pair.
The shard binary requires a persistent --data-dir and a non-overlapping
--backup-dir. Mount them from independent storage: separate directory names
alone do not protect against volume loss. An in-memory shard can only be started
with the explicit --ephemeral flag and loses all records when the process
exits. --allow-colocated-checkpoints is a development-only escape hatch and
does not provide volume-loss recovery.
Router and shard servers cap each encoded or decoded gRPC message at 4 MiB, limit each connection to 128 concurrent requests, and shed excess load. Use the streaming ingest, import, and export RPCs for larger transfers. Bound connection counts and request rates at the load balancer as well.
Release verification on an Apple M5 with 32 GB RAM, five persistent shards, 16 concurrent streams, 5,000-record batches, and 10% overlap:
| Records | Records/sec | Stream Errors |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000,000 | 50,598 | 0 |
This is an end-to-end power-loss-durability measurement: records and cluster assignments are persisted and the RocksDB WAL is synchronously flushed before acknowledgement, and every record goes through entity resolution. Results depend on storage hardware and ontology complexity; rerun the command below on the release target rather than treating this number as a service-level guarantee.
