TL;DR

Classic invocation (pexec, exec, and the function host form) of an LLM-type function now fails fast with a 404 problem-details response, matching the reverse case (a classic function called through the LLM API returns 404). Before this change, the request waited about 62 seconds and then returned an empty 504.

Additional Details (optional for docs, build, test, refactor, ci, chore, style, and revert PRs)

Why:

  • LLM workers do not consume JetStream request queues (GrpcWorkerService skips queue creation for LLM functions).
  • AuthClientInvocation validated access and status but not function type, and ClientInvokeResponse has no type field, so http-invocation could not tell an LLM function from a classic one.
  • On publish, http-invocation creates the missing request stream, so the publish succeeds with no consumer. The request then waits out the default 60 second poll window plus the 2 second grace period in handle_streaming_response, and the timeout response has no body.

What changed:

  • GrpcInvocationService.authClientInvocation drops FunctionType.LLM versions from the classic auth response. If no version is left, it throws a NotFoundException wrapped in InvalidInvocationException, so the gRPC status is NOT_FOUND and the nca_id trailer is kept. http-invocation already maps NOT_FOUND to a 404 problem-details response, so the invocation plane needs no production change.
  • The check runs after access validation. Callers without access get the existing not-found message, and the LLM-specific message is only shown to callers who can already see the function.
  • New versions must match the family's type (FunctionManagementService), but that rule only runs at version creation, so older families may mix LLM and classic versions. Filtering per version keeps versionless classic requests routed to the classic versions in that case, and an explicit request for an LLM version still gets 404.
  • authClientInvocation is only called by http-invocation. The LLM API path (authLlmInvocation) and the stateful proxy path (authStatefulWork) are unchanged.
  • Adds a warn log line with ncaId and functionId for each rejection.

Limitations:

  • The empty body on genuine 504 timeouts is unchanged. That is a separate improvement.

Review notes

A Codex review found no P0 issues and one conditional P1: rejecting the whole family when any version was LLM would break versionless classic invocation of an older family that mixes LLM and classic versions. Fixed by filtering LLM versions per version (third commit). Existing data was not checked for mixed families. The change is safe either way.

For the Reviewer

  • src/control-plane-services/cloud-functions/nvcf-core/src/main/java/com/nvidia/nvcf/grpc/GrpcInvocationService.java: the new check and message.
  • src/invocation-plane-services/http-invocation/crates/server/tests/: test-only changes. The NVCF API mock returns the new NOT_FOUND for an LLM function, and a new integration test checks every classic entry point.

For QA (optional for docs, build, test, refactor, ci, chore, style, and revert PRs)

Ran locally with Docker (Testcontainers):

  • bazel test //src/control-plane-services/cloud-functions/nvcf-core:tests --java_runtime_version=remotejdk_25 --tool_java_runtime_version=remotejdk_25: 3098 tests found, 3097 passed, 1 skipped (pre-existing), 0 failed. The runtime override was needed only because the machine has no local JDK 25.
    • New GrpcInvocationServiceTest cases: LLM function rejected with NOT_FOUND, the LLM API detail, and the nca_id trailer, with and without a version id; admin (targetNcaId) path also rejected; an LLM function the caller cannot access returns the generic not-found message with no LLM detail; a family with one classic and one LLM version returns only the classic version for a versionless request and rejects an explicit request for the LLM version; a STREAMING function is still allowed. The existing DEFAULT cases still pass.
  • bazel test //src/invocation-plane-services/http-invocation/... --flaky_test_attempts=3:
    • New test_error_codes::test_llm_function_rejected_without_publishing passes. It sends pexec with and without a version, exec, and host-form POST /v1/responses for an LLM function. Each returns 404 application/problem+json with the rejection detail in under 5 seconds, and no JetStream request stream exists for the version afterward, so nothing was queued.
    • nvcf_invocation_service_test, test_assets, test_consumer_creation, test_error_codes, test_nats_max_messages, test_polling, test_publish_cancel, and test_response_headers pass. test_cors, test_exec, test_health, and test_large_response pass on retry.
    • test_pexec and test_tlb stayed red locally after 3 attempts. Every failure was a Testcontainers fixture panic during container startup (container ... does not expose port 4566/tcp for LocalStack, or PortNotExposed for NATS 4222) under Docker load, before any service code ran. Across attempts, each of the 13 test_pexec and 7 test_tlb cases passed at least once. CI should confirm these.

QA needed: yes, a staging check after deploy. Call an LLM function through pexec and through the function host form and expect a 404 with the LLM API detail in well under a second. Also check that classic DEFAULT function invocations show no new 404s.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Behavior Changes
    • Classic invocation endpoints return a not-found response for LLM functions and direct callers to the LLM API.
    • Classic invocation remains available for streaming functions. Requests that omit a version select eligible classic function versions.
    • Error responses do not expose function details when the caller lacks access.

Classic invocation (pexec, exec, and the function host form) of an
LLM-type function published a request to a JetStream queue that LLM
workers never consume. The caller waited out the 60 second default poll
window plus a 2 second grace period and received an empty 504.

AuthClientInvocation now rejects functions whose resolved versions are
LLM with INVALID_ARGUMENT, which http-invocation already maps to a 400
problem-details response. Access checks still run first, so callers
without access get 404 and the function type is not revealed.

Tests cover the gRPC contract in GrpcInvocationServiceTest and, through
the NVCF API mock, the http-invocation behavior on every classic entry
point, including that no request stream is created.

Closes #2111

Walkthrough

Classic invocation now excludes LLM function versions and returns not-found errors when callers target LLM functions. Tests cover control-plane gRPC behavior and HTTP invocation requests, including whether rejected requests create a NATS request stream.

Version type uniformity is only enforced when a new version is created,
so older families may mix LLM and classic versions. Rejecting the whole
family when any resolved version was LLM would break versionless classic
invocation of such a family. Drop LLM versions from the classic auth
response instead, and return 404 only when no invocable version remains.

The stream lookup previously accepted any error, so a connection or

🟡 Minor · Select classic versions before choosing the access category. · GrpcInvocationService.java:82-102

src/control-plane-services/cloud-functions/nvcf-core/src/main/java/com/nvidia/nvcf/grpc/GrpcInvocationService.java:82-102
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Select classic versions before choosing the access category.

For a versionless classic request, the access service selects the first nonempty category before GrpcInvocationService.withoutLlmVersions removes LLM versions. A public category with only LLM versions can hide an authorized classic version in a later category. The request then fails instead of returning the classic version.

Add a classic-only lookup mode. Filter each already-authorized category before first-nonempty selection. Use the existing lookup for explicit versions and for LLM, proxy, and REST callers. Retain an unfiltered fallback when no classic version exists so the current LLM-only rejection remains unchanged.

This is a narrow mixed-visibility failure. It can block valid classic requests but does not bypass authorization because private and authorized results are filtered before the new type filter. The correction is localized and has high practical benefit.
