  • Controlled repeated-prefix request before eviction

Exact supporting evidence is not available for this result yet.

use casescenario.vllm.issue-35048-throughput-versus-experience

Schema supplies the decomposition; root cause requires controlled A/B or commit bisect.

vLLM v0.23.0
Limitations
  • Fixed matched workload environment and dependencies
  • Same-window throughput and per-request latency distributions

Exact supporting evidence is not available for this result yet.

use casescenario.vllm.issue-38194-prefix-hit-rate-comparability

Schema defines the vLLM side; the other system and matched runtime data are required for comparison.

vLLM v0.23.0
Limitations
  • Both formulas and scopes
  • Identical rendered token streams and routing
  • Matched warm-up and windows

Exact supporting evidence is not available for this result yet.

Coverage gaps

A gap means Schema does not yet hold enough knowledge here; it is not evidence that the thing is absent.

  • vllm:external_prefix_cache_queries/hits (KV-connector prefix cache) are availability-inventoried but carry no semantic claims. — Existence answers are available for the external counters; interpretation claims are not.
  • The corpus has no benchmark or operator evidence for healthy prefix-cache hit-rate ranges; hit rate is workload-dependent (prompt-prefix sharing). — Schema.ai can explain how to compute the hit rate but must not grade an observed value as good or bad.
