## Replicate Cool Widgets
This issue is for implementing Geo replication and verification of Cool Widgets.
For more background, see [Geo self-service framework](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/development/geo/framework.md).
In order to implement and test this feature, you need to first [set up Geo locally](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/blob/main/doc/howto/geo.md).
There are three main sections below. It is a good idea to structure your merge requests this way as well:
1. Modify database schemas to prepare to add Geo support for Cool Widgets
1. Implement Geo support of Cool Widgets behind a feature flag
1. Release Geo support of Cool Widgets
It is also a good idea to first open a proof-of-concept merge request. It can be helpful for working out kinks and getting initial support and feedback from the Geo team. As an example, see the [Proof of Concept to replicate Pipeline Artifacts](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/56423).
You can look into the following example for implementing replication/verification for a new Git repository type:
- [Add snippet repository verification](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/56596)
### Modify database schemas to prepare to add Geo support for Cool Widgets
You might do this section in its own merge request, but it is not required.
#### Add the registry table to track replication and verification state
Geo secondary sites have a [Geo tracking database](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/development/geo.md#tracking-database) independent of the main database. It is used to track the replication and verification state of all replicables. Every Model has a corresponding "registry" table in the Geo tracking database.
- [ ] Create the migration file in `ee/db/geo/migrate`:
```shell
bin/rails generate geo_migration CreateCoolWidgetRegistry
```
- [ ] Replace the contents of the migration file with the following. Note that we cannot add a foreign key constraint on `cool_widget_id` because the `cool_widgets` table is in a different database. The application code must handle logic such as propagating deletions.
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
class CreateCoolWidgetRegistry < Gitlab::Database::Migration[1.0]
disable_ddl_transaction!
def up
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
create_table :cool_widget_registry, id: :bigserial, force: :cascade do |t|
t.bigint :cool_widget_id, null: false
t.datetime_with_timezone :created_at, null: false
t.datetime_with_timezone :last_synced_at
t.datetime_with_timezone :retry_at
t.datetime_with_timezone :verified_at
t.datetime_with_timezone :verification_started_at
t.datetime_with_timezone :verification_retry_at
t.integer :state, default: 0, null: false, limit: 2
t.integer :verification_state, default: 0, null: false, limit: 2

t.text :last_sync_failure, limit: 255
t.index :cool_widget_id, name: :index_cool_widget_registry_on_cool_widget_id, unique: true
t.index :retry_at
t.index :state
# To optimize performance of CoolWidgetRegistry.verification_failed_batch
t.index :verification_retry_at, name: :cool_widget_registry_failed_verification, order: "NULLS FIRST", where: "((state = 2) AND (verification_state = 3))"
# To optimize performance of CoolWidgetRegistry.needs_verification_count
t.index :verification_state, name: :cool_widget_registry_needs_verification, where: "((state = 2) AND (verification_state = ANY (ARRAY[0, 3])))"
# To optimize performance of CoolWidgetRegistry.verification_pending_batch
t.index :verified_at, name: :cool_widget_registry_pending_verification, order: "NULLS FIRST", where: "((state = 2) AND (verification_state = 0))"
end
end
end
def down
drop_table :cool_widget_registry
end
end
```
- [ ] If deviating from the above example, then be sure to order columns according to [our guidelines](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/development/ordering_table_columns.md).
- [ ] Run Geo tracking database migrations:
```shell
bin/rake geo:db:migrate
```
- [ ] Be sure to commit the relevant changes in `ee/db/geo/structure.sql`
### Add verification state to the Model
The Geo primary site needs to checksum every replicable so secondaries can verify their own checksums. To do this, Geo requires the Model to have an associated table to track verification state.
- [ ] Create the migration file in `db/migrate`:
```shell
bin/rails generate migration CreateCoolWidgetStates
```
- [ ] Replace the contents of the migration file with:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
class CreateCoolWidgetStates < Gitlab::Database::Migration[1.0]
VERIFICATION_STATE_INDEX_NAME = "index_cool_widget_states_on_verification_state"
PENDING_VERIFICATION_INDEX_NAME = "index_cool_widget_states_pending_verification"
FAILED_VERIFICATION_INDEX_NAME = "index_cool_widget_states_failed_verification"
NEEDS_VERIFICATION_INDEX_NAME = "index_cool_widget_states_needs_verification"
disable_ddl_transaction!
def up
with_lock_retries do
create_table :cool_widget_states, id: false do |t|
t.references :cool_widget, primary_key: true, null: false, foreign_key: { on_delete: :cascade }
t.integer :verification_state, default: 0, limit: 2, null: false
t.column :verification_started_at, :datetime_with_timezone
t.datetime_with_timezone :verification_retry_at
t.datetime_with_timezone :verified_at
t.integer :verification_retry_count, limit: 2
t.binary :verification_checksum, using: 'verification_checksum::bytea'
t.text :verification_failure, limit: 255
t.index :verification_state, name: VERIFICATION_STATE_INDEX_NAME
t.index :verified_at, where: "(verification_state = 0)", order: { verified_at: 'ASC NULLS FIRST' }, name: PENDING_VERIFICATION_INDEX_NAME
t.index :verification_retry_at, where: "(verification_state = 3)", order: { verification_retry_at: 'ASC NULLS FIRST' }, name: FAILED_VERIFICATION_INDEX_NAME
t.index :verification_state, where: "(verification_state = 0 OR verification_state = 3)", name: NEEDS_VERIFICATION_INDEX_NAME
end
end
end
def down
drop_table :cool_widget_states
end
end
```
- [ ] If deviating from the above example, then be sure to order columns according to [our guidelines](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/development/ordering_table_columns.md).
- [ ] Run database migrations:
```shell
bin/rake db:migrate
```
- [ ] Be sure to commit the relevant changes in `db/structure.sql`
That's all of the required database changes.
### Implement Geo support of Cool Widgets behind a feature flag
#### Step 1. Implement replication and verification
- [ ] Add the following lines to the `cool_widget` model to accomplish some important tasks:
- Include `::Geo::ReplicableModel` in the `CoolWidget` class, and specify the Replicator class `with_replicator Geo::CoolWidgetReplicator`.
- Include the `::Geo::VerifiableModel` concern.
- Delegate verification related methods to the `cool_widget_state` model.
- For verification, override some scopes to use the `cool_widget_states` table instead of the model table.
- Implement the `verification_state_object` method to return the object that holds
the verification details
- Override some methods to use the `cool_widget_states` table in verification-related queries.
Pay some attention to method `pool_repository`. Not every repository type uses repository pooling. As Geo prefers to use repository snapshotting, it can lead to data loss. Make sure to overwrite `pool_repository` so it returns nil for repositories that do not have pools.
At this point the `CoolWidget` class should look like this:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
class CoolWidget < ApplicationRecord
...
include ::Geo::ReplicableModel
include ::Geo::VerifiableModel
with_replicator Geo::CoolWidgetReplicator
mount_uploader :file, CoolWidgetUploader
has_one :cool_widget_state, autosave: false, inverse_of: :cool_widget, class_name: 'Geo::CoolWidgetState'
after_save :save_verification_details
delegate :verification_retry_at, :verification_retry_at=,
:verified_at, :verified_at=,
:verification_checksum, :verification_checksum=,
:verification_failure, :verification_failure=,
:verification_retry_count, :verification_retry_count=,
:verification_state=, :verification_state,
:verification_started_at=, :verification_started_at,
to: :cool_widget_state
...
scope :with_verification_state, ->(state) { joins(:cool_widget_state).where(cool_widget_states: { verification_state: verification_state_value(state) }) }
scope :checksummed, -> { joins(:cool_widget_state).where.not(cool_widget_states: { verification_checksum: nil } ) }
scope :not_checksummed, -> { joins(:cool_widget_state).where(cool_widget_states: { verification_checksum: nil } ) }
scope :available_verifiables, -> { joins(:cool_widget_state) }
# Override the `all` default if not all records can be replicated. For an
# example of an existing Model that needs to do this, see
# `EE::MergeRequestDiff`.
# scope :available_replicables, -> { all }
def verification_state_object
cool_widget_state
end
...
class_methods do
extend ::Gitlab::Utils::Override
...
# @param primary_key_in [Range, CoolWidget] arg to pass to primary_key_in scope
# @return [ActiveRecord::Relation<CoolWidget>] everything that should be synced to this node, restricted by primary key
def replicables_for_current_secondary(primary_key_in)
# This issue template does not help you write this method.
#
# This method is called only on Geo secondary sites. It is called when
# we want to know which records to replicate. This is not easy to automate
# because for example:
#
# * The "selective sync" feature allows admins to choose which namespaces # to replicate, per secondary site. Most Models are scoped to a
# namespace, but the nature of the relationship to a namespace varies
# between Models.
# * The "selective sync" feature allows admins to choose which shards to
# replicate, per secondary site. Repositories are associated with
# shards. Most blob types are not, but Project Uploads are.
# * Remote stored replicables are not replicated, by default. But the
# setting `sync_object_storage` enables replication of remote stored
# replicables.
#
# Search the codebase for examples, and consult a Geo expert if needed.
end
override :verification_state_table_class
def verification_state_table_class
CoolWidgetState
end
end
# Geo checks this method in FrameworkRepositorySyncService to avoid
# snapshotting repositories using object pools
def pool_repository
nil
end
...
def cool_widget_state
super || build_cool_widget_state
end
...
end
```
- [ ] Implement `CoolWidget.replicables_for_current_secondary` above.
- [ ] Ensure `CoolWidget.replicables_for_current_secondary` is well-tested. Search the codebase for `replicables_for_current_secondary` to find examples of parameterized table specs. You may need to add more `FactoryBot` traits.
- [ ] Add the following shared examples to `ee/spec/models/ee/cool_widget_spec.rb`:
```ruby
include_examples 'a replicable model with a separate table for verification state' do
let(:verifiable_model_record) { build(:cool_widget) } # add extra params if needed to make sure the record is included in `available_verifiables`
let(:unverifiable_model_record) { build(:cool_widget) } # add extra params if needed to make sure the record is NOT included in `available_verifiables`
end
```
- [ ] Create `ee/app/replicators/geo/cool_widget_replicator.rb`. Implement the `#repository` method which should return a `<Repository>` instance, and implement the class method `.model` to return the `CoolWidget` class:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Geo
class CoolWidgetReplicator < Gitlab::Geo::Replicator
include ::Geo::RepositoryReplicatorStrategy
extend ::Gitlab::Utils::Override
def self.model
::CoolWidget
end
def repository
model_record.repository
end
def self.git_access_class
::Gitlab::GitAccessCoolWidget
end
def self.no_repo_message
git_access_class.error_message(:no_repo)
end
# The feature flag follows the format `geo_#{replicable_name}_replication`,
# so here it would be `geo_cool_widget_replication`
def self.replication_enabled_by_default?
false
end
override :verification_feature_flag_enabled?
def self.verification_feature_flag_enabled?
# We are adding verification at the same time as replication, so we
# don't need to toggle verification separately from replication. When
# the replication feature flag is off, then verification is also off
# (see `VerifiableReplicator.verification_enabled?`)
true
end
end
end
```
- [ ] Make sure Geo push events are created. Usually it needs some change in the `app/workers/post_receive.rb` file. Example:
```ruby
def replicate_cool_widget_changes(cool_widget)
if ::Gitlab::Geo.primary?
cool_widget.replicator.handle_after_update if cool_widget
end
end
```
See `app/workers/post_receive.rb` for more examples.
- [ ] Make sure the repository removal is also handled. You may need to add something like the following in the destroy service of the repository:
```ruby
cool_widget.replicator.handle_after_destroy if cool_widget.repository
```
- [ ] Make sure a Geo secondary site can request and download Cool Widgets on the Geo primary site. You may need to make some changes to `Gitlab::GitAccessCoolWidget`. For example, see [this change for Group-level Wikis](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/54914/diffs?commit_id=0f2b36f66697b4addbc69bd377ee2818f648dd33).
- [ ] Make sure a Geo secondary site can replicate Cool Widgets where repository does not exist on the Geo primary site. The only way to know about this is to parse the error text. You may need to make some changes to `Gitlab::CoolWidgetReplicator.no_repo_message` to return the proper error message. For example, see [this change for Group-level Wikis](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/74133).
- [ ] Generate the feature flag definition files by running the feature flag commands and following the command prompts:
```shell
bin/feature-flag --ee geo_cool_widget_replication --type development --group 'group::geo'
bin/feature-flag --ee geo_cool_widget_verification --type development --group 'group::geo'
```
- [ ] Add this replicator class to the method `replicator_classes` in
`ee/lib/gitlab/geo.rb`:
```ruby
REPLICATOR_CLASSES = [
::Geo::PackageFileReplicator,
::Geo::CoolWidgetReplicator
]
end
```
- [ ] Create `ee/spec/replicators/geo/cool_widget_replicator_spec.rb` and perform the necessary setup to define the `model_record` variable for the shared examples:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
require 'spec_helper'
RSpec.describe Geo::CoolWidgetReplicator do
let(:model_record) { build(:cool_widget) }
include_examples 'a repository replicator'
include_examples 'a verifiable replicator'
end
```
- [ ] Create `ee/app/models/geo/cool_widget_registry.rb`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
class Geo::CoolWidgetRegistry < Geo::BaseRegistry
include ::Geo::ReplicableRegistry
include ::Geo::VerifiableRegistry
MODEL_CLASS = ::CoolWidget
MODEL_FOREIGN_KEY = :cool_widget_id
belongs_to :cool_widget, class_name: 'CoolWidget'
end
```
- [ ] Update `REGISTRY_CLASSES` in `ee/app/workers/geo/secondary/registry_consistency_worker.rb`.
- [ ] Add a custom factory name if needed in `def model_class_factory_name` in `ee/spec/services/geo/registry_consistency_service_spec.rb`.
- [ ] Update `it 'creates missing registries for each registry class'` in `ee/spec/workers/geo/secondary/registry_consistency_worker_spec.rb`.
- [ ] Add `cool_widget_registry` to `ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections` in `config/initializers_before_autoloader/000_inflections.rb`.
- [ ] Create `ee/spec/factories/geo/cool_widget_registry.rb`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
FactoryBot.define do
factory :geo_cool_widget_registry, class: 'Geo::CoolWidgetRegistry' do
cool_widget # This association should have data, like a file or repository
state { Geo::CoolWidgetRegistry.state_value(:pending) }
trait :synced do
state { Geo::CoolWidgetRegistry.state_value(:synced) }
last_synced_at { 5.days.ago }
end
trait :failed do
state { Geo::CoolWidgetRegistry.state_value(:failed) }
last_synced_at { 1.day.ago }
retry_count { 2 }
last_sync_failure { 'Random error' }
end
trait :started do
state { Geo::CoolWidgetRegistry.state_value(:started) }
last_synced_at { 1.day.ago }
retry_count { 0 }
end
trait :verification_succeeded do
verification_checksum { 'e079a831cab27bcda7d81cd9b48296d0c3dd92ef' }
verification_state { Geo::CoolWidgetRegistry.verification_state_value(:verification_succeeded) }
verified_at { 5.days.ago }
end
end
end
```
- [ ] Create `ee/spec/models/geo/cool_widget_registry_spec.rb`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
require 'spec_helper'
RSpec.describe Geo::CoolWidgetRegistry, :geo, type: :model do
let_it_be(:registry) { create(:geo_cool_widget_registry) }
specify 'factory is valid' do
expect(registry).to be_valid
end
include_examples 'a Geo framework registry'
include_examples 'a Geo verifiable registry'
end
```
- [ ] Add the following to `spec/factories/cool_widgets.rb`:
```ruby
trait(:verification_succeeded) do
with_file
verification_checksum { 'abc' }
verification_state { CoolWidget.verification_state_value(:verification_succeeded) }
end
trait(:verification_failed) do
with_file
verification_failure { 'Could not calculate the checksum' }
verification_state { CoolWidget.verification_state_value(:verification_failed) }
end
```
- [ ] Make sure the factory also allows setting a `project` attribute. If the model does not have a direct relation to a project, you can use a `transient` attribute. Check out `spec/factories/merge_request_diffs.rb` for an example.
- [ ] Following [the example of Merge Request Diffs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/63309) add a `Geo::CoolWidgetState` model in `ee/app/models/ee/geo/cool_widget_state.rb`:
``` ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Geo
class CoolWidgetState < ApplicationRecord
include EachBatch
self.primary_key = :cool_widget_id
belongs_to :cool_widget, inverse_of: :cool_widget_state
validates :verification_failure, length: { maximum: 255 }
validates :verification_state, :cool_widget, presence: true
end
end
```
- [ ] Add a `factory` for `cool_widget_state`, in `ee/spec/factories/geo/cool_widget_states.rb`:
``` ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
FactoryBot.define do
factory :geo_cool_widget_state, class: 'Geo::CoolWidgetState' do
cool_widget
trait(:checksummed) do
verification_checksum { 'abc' }
end
trait(:checksum_failure) do
verification_failure { 'Could not calculate the checksum' }
end
end
end
```
#### Step 2. Implement metrics gathering
Metrics are gathered by `Geo::MetricsUpdateWorker`, persisted in `GeoNodeStatus` for display in the UI, and sent to Prometheus:
- [ ] Add the following fields to Geo Node Status example responses in `doc/api/geo_nodes.md`:
- `cool_widgets_count`
- `cool_widgets_checksum_total_count`
- `cool_widgets_checksummed_count`
- `cool_widgets_checksum_failed_count`
- `cool_widgets_synced_count`
- `cool_widgets_failed_count`
- `cool_widgets_registry_count`
- `cool_widgets_verification_total_count`
- `cool_widgets_verified_count`
- `cool_widgets_verification_failed_count`
- `cool_widgets_synced_in_percentage`
- `cool_widgets_verified_in_percentage`
- [ ] Add the same fields to `GET /geo_nodes/status` example response in
`ee/spec/fixtures/api/schemas/public_api/v4/geo_node_status.json`.
- [ ] Add the following fields to the `Sidekiq metrics` table in `doc/administration/monitoring/prometheus/gitlab_metrics.md`:
- `geo_cool_widgets`
- `geo_cool_widgets_checksum_total`
- `geo_cool_widgets_checksummed`
- `geo_cool_widgets_checksum_failed`
- `geo_cool_widgets_synced`
- `geo_cool_widgets_failed`
- `geo_cool_widgets_registry`
- `geo_cool_widgets_verification_total`
- `geo_cool_widgets_verified`
- `geo_cool_widgets_verification_failed`
- [ ] Add the following to the parameterized table in the `context 'Replicator stats' do` block in `ee/spec/models/geo_node_status_spec.rb`:
```ruby
Geo::CoolWidgetReplicator | :cool_widget | :geo_cool_widget_registry
```
Cool Widget replication and verification metrics should now be available in the API, the `Admin > Geo > Nodes` view, and Prometheus.
#### Step 3. Implement the GraphQL API
The GraphQL API is used by `Admin > Geo > Replication Details` views, and is directly queryable by administrators.
- [ ] Add a new field to `GeoNodeType` in `ee/app/graphql/types/geo/geo_node_type.rb`:
```ruby
field :cool_widget_registries, ::Types::Geo::CoolWidgetRegistryType.connection_type,
null: true,
resolver: ::Resolvers::Geo::CoolWidgetRegistriesResolver,
description: 'Find Cool Widget registries on this Geo node',
feature_flag: :geo_cool_widget_replication
```
- [ ] Add the new `cool_widget_registries` field name to the `expected_fields` array in `ee/spec/graphql/types/geo/geo_node_type_spec.rb`.
- [ ] Create `ee/app/graphql/resolvers/geo/cool_widget_registries_resolver.rb`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Resolvers
module Geo
class CoolWidgetRegistriesResolver < BaseResolver
type ::Types::Geo::GeoNodeType.connection_type, null: true
include RegistriesResolver
end
end
end
```
- [ ] Create `ee/spec/graphql/resolvers/geo/cool_widget_registries_resolver_spec.rb`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
require 'spec_helper'
RSpec.describe Resolvers::Geo::CoolWidgetRegistriesResolver do
it_behaves_like 'a Geo registries resolver', :geo_cool_widget_registry
end
```
- [ ] Create `ee/app/finders/geo/cool_widget_registry_finder.rb`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Geo
class CoolWidgetRegistryFinder
include FrameworkRegistryFinder
end
end
```
- [ ] Create `ee/spec/finders/geo/cool_widget_registry_finder_spec.rb`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
require 'spec_helper'
RSpec.describe Geo::CoolWidgetRegistryFinder do
it_behaves_like 'a framework registry finder', :geo_cool_widget_registry
end
```
- [ ] Create `ee/app/graphql/types/geo/cool_widget_registry_type.rb`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
module Types
module Geo
# rubocop:disable Graphql/AuthorizeTypes because it is included
class CoolWidgetRegistryType < BaseObject
include ::Types::Geo::RegistryType
graphql_name 'CoolWidgetRegistry'
description 'Represents the Geo replication and verification state of a cool_widget'
field :cool_widget_id, GraphQL::Types::ID, null: false, description: 'ID of the Cool Widget.'
end
end
end
```
- [ ] Create `ee/spec/graphql/types/geo/cool_widget_registry_type_spec.rb`:
```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
require 'spec_helper'
RSpec.describe GitlabSchema.types['CoolWidgetRegistry'] do
it_behaves_like 'a Geo registry type'
it 'has the expected fields (other than those included in RegistryType)' do
expected_fields = %i[cool_widget_id]
expect(described_class).to have_graphql_fields(*expected_fields).at_least
end
end
```
- [ ] Add integration tests for providing CoolWidget registry data to the frontend via the GraphQL API, by duplicating and modifying the following shared examples in `ee/spec/requests/api/graphql/geo/registries_spec.rb`:
```ruby
it_behaves_like 'gets registries for', {
field_name: 'coolWidgetRegistries',
registry_class_name: 'CoolWidgetRegistry',
registry_factory: :geo_cool_widget_registry,
registry_foreign_key_field_name: 'coolWidgetId'
}
```
- [ ] Update the GraphQL reference documentation:
```shell
bundle exec rake gitlab:graphql:compile_docs
```
Individual Cool Widget replication and verification data should now be available via the GraphQL API.
### Release Geo support of Cool Widgets
- [ ] In the rollout issue you created when creating the feature flag, modify the Roll Out Steps:
- [ ] Cross out any steps related to testing on production GitLab.com, because Geo is not running on production GitLab.com at the moment.
- [ ] Add a step to `Test replication and verification of Cool Widgets on a non-GDK-deployment. For example, using GitLab Environment Toolkit`.
- [ ] Add a step to `Ping the Geo PM and EM to coordinate testing`. For example, you might add steps to generate Cool Widgets, and then a Geo engineer may take it from there.
- [ ] In `ee/config/feature_flags/development/geo_cool_widget_replication.yml`, set `default_enabled: true`
- [ ] In `ee/app/replicators/geo/cool_widget_replicator.rb`, delete the `self.replication_enabled_by_default?` method:
```ruby
module Geo
class CoolWidgetReplicator < Gitlab::Geo::Replicator
...
# REMOVE THIS LINE IF IT IS NO LONGER NEEDED
extend ::Gitlab::Utils::Override
# REMOVE THIS METHOD
def self.replication_enabled_by_default?
false
end
# REMOVE THIS METHOD
...
end
end
```
- [ ] In `ee/app/graphql/types/geo/geo_node_type.rb`, remove the `feature_flag` option for the released type:
```ruby
field :cool_widget_registries, ::Types::Geo::CoolWidgetRegistryType.connection_type,
null: true,
resolver: ::Resolvers::Geo::CoolWidgetRegistriesResolver,
description: 'Find Cool Widget registries on this Geo node',
feature_flag: :geo_cool_widget_replication # REMOVE THIS LINE
```
- [ ] Run `bundle exec rake gitlab:graphql:compile_docs` after the step above to regenerate the GraphQL docs.
- [ ] Add a row for Cool Widgets to the `Data types` table in [Geo data types support](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/doc/administration/geo/replication/datatypes.md#data-types)
- [ ] Add a row for Cool Widgets to the `Limitations on replication/verification` table in [Geo data types support](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/doc/administration/geo/replication/datatypes.md#limitations-on-replicationverification). If the row already exists, then update it to show that Replication and Verification is released in the current version.
