📅 2025-02-12 — Session: Enhanced File Processing and Indexing Logic
🕒 14:50–16:50
🏷️ Labels: Python, File Processing, Git, Error Handling, Indexing
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The primary goal of this session was to enhance the file processing and indexing logic in Python, focusing on handling large files, improving error handling, and refining Git-related file exclusions.
Key Activities
- Implemented error handling for Spacy’s text length limit using try-except blocks to skip oversized documents.
- Explained the occurrence of duplicate SHA-256 hashes in repositories and provided ignore patterns for indexing.
- Refactored Python code for modular file indexing and chunking, addressing ignored directories and extensions.
- Defined default ingestion settings for workflow management, allowing for necessary overrides.
- Modified code to filter ignored files from pending processing.
- Implemented separate filtering rules for indexing and chunking to ensure ignored files do not affect the workflow.
- Diagnosed and proposed solutions for Git ignore logic issues, focusing on filtering logic for nested paths and directories.
- Conducted atomic comparison tests to verify the correct detection and exclusion of ‘.git/’ paths.
Achievements
- Successfully improved error handling in file processing, ensuring stability in the ingestion pipeline.
- Enhanced the modularity and clarity of the file indexing and chunking processes.
- Established effective filtering logic for Git-related files, ensuring they are excluded from indexing.
- Verified through testing that the directory-based ignoring logic functions as intended.
Pending Tasks
- Further investigate the processing flow to ensure ignored files are handled correctly beyond initial detection.
