🏷️ Labels: File Processing, Indexing, Python, Automation, Error Handling, Optimization
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance the file processing and indexing systems by refactoring existing code, implementing new indexing mechanisms, and resolving errors in Python scripts.

Key Activities

• Conducted a comparative analysis of processing.py and FileHandler to recommend a modular architecture.
• Refactored file and chunk processing functions to improve modularity and debugging.
• Created and conceptualized the ‘Blessed Index’ for centralized metadata management in RAG Sync.
• Leveraged Ubuntu’s indexing tools for maintaining the ‘Blessed Index’.
• Designed an SQLite-based metadata system and a JSON-based file metadata management system.
• Installed necessary Python modules and resolved import errors in python-docx.
• Debugged missing JSON files and handled errors like IsADirectoryError.
• Optimized JSON file processing and generalized text extraction functions.
• Developed strategies for data triage, file categorization, and duplicate file identification using hashes.

Achievements

• Enhanced the modularity and efficiency of file processing functions.
• Established a centralized metadata registry with the ‘Blessed Index’.
• Improved error handling and debugging capabilities in Python scripts.
• Optimized file indexing and metadata management processes.

Pending Tasks

• Further enhancement of the ‘Blessed Index’ to support real-time updates.
• Complete the implementation of AI-assisted file categorization.
