litellm/db_scripts/partition_spend_logs.sql

-- Converts an existing LiteLLM_SpendLogs table into a native Postgres
-- range-partitioned table keyed on "startTime".
--
-- Why: at high request volume, retention via DELETE leaves dead tuples that
-- autovacuum cannot reclaim quickly enough, so the table keeps growing on disk
-- (seen at 450GB+ after ~1 month). With partitioning, retention drops whole
-- partitions, which is instant and returns disk to the OS immediately.
--
-- This is an opt-in, manual operation. The default LiteLLM schema is NOT
-- partitioned, so existing installs are unaffected until you run this.
--
-- IMPORTANT
--   * After partitioning, `prisma db push` (including the proxy's
--     --use_prisma_db_push startup mode) is NOT supported: it tries to rewrite
--     the primary key back to ("request_id"), which Postgres rejects on a
--     partitioned table. The proxy detects this and exits with guidance.
--     Use the default startup path (`prisma migrate deploy`) instead.
--   * Test on a staging copy first and take a backup.
--   * Postgres cannot convert a populated table to partitioned in place, so this
--     renames the old table aside and creates a fresh partitioned table.
--   * The partition key ("startTime") must be part of the primary key, so the
--     PK becomes composite ("request_id", "startTime"). LiteLLM's write path uses
--     INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, which is compatible with this.
--   * Choose a partition granularity ("day" is the recommended default for
--     high-volume tables) and keep it consistent with SPEND_LOG_PARTITION_INTERVAL.
--
-- After running this, enable the feature and set a retention period in
-- proxy_config.yaml:
--   general_settings:
--     use_spend_logs_partitioning: true
--     maximum_spend_logs_retention_period: "30d"
-- The spend-log cleanup job then verifies the table is partitioned and reclaims
-- disk by dropping expired partitions instead of deleting rows. It also
-- pre-creates upcoming partitions on each run. To roll back, see
-- db_scripts/unpartition_spend_logs.sql.
