summary

MZCLD-3678 tracks intermittent SSL/timeout failures when the Azure cost ETL Cloud Functions (especially mozilla-all-focus-function) upload large processed CSVs to GCS ahead of the BigQuery load. Root cause per the ticket description is well understood: google-cloud-storage's DEFAULT_RETRY has a 120s deadline, so uploads of large files (Focus's ~600MB uncompressed CSV is the largest of the set) routinely exceed it or hit mid-stream TLS resets before completing, causing transient SSLEOFError/ReadTimeout failures on the resumable upload endpoint. Ticket is In Progress with no comments yet, so I'm proposing a triage/remediation comment outlining root cause confirmation and concrete mitigation options for the assignee to evaluate.

findings

• Root cause is a client-side retry deadline mismatch, not a GCS outage: google-cloud-storage's DEFAULT_RETRY has a hardcoded ~120s total deadline, which is too short for large resumable uploads (~600MB uncompressed for the Focus function), so uploads that legitimately take longer than 120s are abandoned mid-transfer, surfacing as SSLEOFError/ReadTimeout against storage.googleapis.com's uploadType=resumable endpoint.
• Focus function is disproportionately affected simply due to file size, not a unique bug in its code path, since all mozilla-all-*-function and per-subscription functions share the same upload logic.
• Ticket has no comments and no linked runbook/design doc was referenced in the ticket body, so there is no existing documented remediation plan to cross-check against; recommendations below are based solely on the ticket's own root-cause analysis.

proposed actions

Triage notes: Root cause confirmed as a mismatch between the google-cloud-storage client's default 120s retry deadline and the time needed to upload large (~600MB uncompressed) processed CSVs, most notably from mozilla-all-focus-function. This causes mid-transfer TLS resets (SSLEOFError) and read timeouts on the resumable upload endpoint rather than a GCS-side outage.

Suggested remediation options to evaluate (not mutually exclusive):
1. Increase the upload retry/deadline: construct the GCS client/blob upload with a custom `google.api_core.retry.Retry` (or `ConditionalRetryPolicy`) that raises the total deadline well beyond 120s (e.g. 600-900s) to match realistic transfer times for the largest CSVs.
2. Compress the CSV before upload (gzip) to shrink payload size — a 600MB CSV will typically compress significantly, reducing both transfer time and exposure window to TLS resets; BigQuery load jobs can ingest gzip-compressed CSVs directly.
3. Tune the resumable upload chunk size (e.g. `blob.chunk_size`) so failed chunks can be retried individually rather than restarting/abandoning the whole upload, and ensure the client library's automatic resumable-upload retry-on-failure is enabled.
4. Add explicit retry/backoff around the upload call in the Cloud Function itself (idempotent resumable uploads support resuming from the last committed byte) so transient EOF/timeout errors don't fail the whole ETL run.
5. Consider splitting the largest (Focus) CSV into multiple smaller files uploaded and loaded into BigQuery via a multi-file load job, reducing per-file transfer risk.

Recommend starting with (2) compression + (1) increased retry deadline as the lowest-effort, highest-impact fix, then layering (3)/(4) for resilience. Please confirm which approach the assignee plans to implement so we can track it as a sub-task if needed.
