feat(types): UUID Arrow type migration — pa.binary(16) for all UUID storage (PLT-1162)#161
Conversation
Codecov Report❌ Patch coverage is 📢 Thoughts on this report? Let us know! |
Formalises pa.binary(16) as the canonical Arrow type for all UUID values in OrcaPod — both system identifiers (UUID_ARROW_TYPE) and user-facing semantic round-trips (UUID_STRUCT_ARROW_TYPE). Documents the two-layer design, no-truncation rule, known Polars write_json limitation, and full implementation scope. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Reviewing through, I don't think that the use of UUID TYPE constant is actually helping with anything -- let's just make that fixed to be defined as binary type and drop use of constants as we as the getattr trick.

was this some kind of a bug that was present before?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yes, this was a latent pre-existing bug exposed by the migration.
Before this PR, was str(uuid7()) — a fresh random string on every run. Since the dedup hash included the record_id column and that value changed every invocation, the cached-source dedup never actually recognised repeat rows as duplicates. It was silently broken.
The migration made it visible: deterministic UUID v5 record_ids meant the hash would be stable across runs, which is correct — but we also don't need to include the record_id in the hash at all, since it's derived from the source_id + provenance token already captured in the hash. So the fix excludes record_id tag columns from the dedup hash (removing redundant information) while making the dedup work correctly for the first time.

how is this value chosen?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It was arbitrary — chosen once by the implementer with no principled derivation, which is why it looked opaque.
Fixed: replaced with a UUID v5 derived from uuid.NAMESPACE_URL + a stable OrcaPod-specific URL string, so the value is reproducible from its inputs rather than being a magic hex literal:
_SOURCE_RECORD_ID_NAMESPACE = uuid.uuid5(
uuid.NAMESPACE_URL,
"https://orcapod.io/namespaces/source-record-id",
)Added a doc comment noting this value must never change once deployed, since changing it would invalidate all existing stored record IDs.

wouldn't this be cleaner to return an actual UUID object instead?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agreed — done. datagram_id now returns uuid.UUID throughout the protocol, Datagram, and Tag/Data. Generation uses uuid7() normalised to stdlib uuid.UUID (for cross-library equality). Arrow array construction calls .bytes at the point of actual serialisation, keeping the Python interface ergonomic.

which constant would have triggered the invocation of pyarrow and why?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Accessing either constant triggered it. The __getattr__ in types.py called import pyarrow as _pa to construct the value on first access. So any from orcapod.types import UUID_ARROW_TYPE or from orcapod import UUID_ARROW_TYPE call would load the full pyarrow C-extension immediately — which made the __init__.py eager import of the constant just as non-lazy. The __init__.py __getattr__ was needed to defer even that.
This whole mechanism is removed now per the overall review direction: the constants are gone, both __getattr__ functions are removed, and pa.binary(16) is used inline at each site.

Done. The assertion now checks per column: record_id columns (matching SYSTEM_TAG_RECORD_ID_PREFIX) assert isinstance(val, bytes) and len(val) == 16; all other system tag columns assert isinstance(val, str). This catches any accidental type regression in either direction.

I acutally don't understand the logic here. For system tag, the source_id is the unique specifier of the nature/identity of the source and the record_id is a unique specifier about the origin of the specific record. If we are deeming record_id to be truly redundant with record_hash, then we should use record_id as the record_hash. Shouldn't it be the case that we'd actually include everything that's part of the identity of the row as part of the record hash so that in case two entries with everything identical BUT the record_id, suggesting that they originated from two distinct entries in the source that happens to carry identical values, we can correctly distinguish them? Otherwise, of course the inclusion of the rest of the fields are important to detect situation where same record_id entries end up having distinct values but we still want to track it.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agreed — I reverted the exclusion. The record_id system tag encodes row origin (source identity + provenance token), so two rows that are byte-identical in their data columns but originate from different positions in the source will have distinct record_id values and must be stored as separate entries. Hashing the full live_table (including the record_id column) is correct. The dedup logic now hashes all system tag columns.

let's instead return uuid.UUID for consistency?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed — _make_record_id_bytes renamed to _make_record_id and now returns a uuid.UUID rather than raw bytes. The call site does .bytes to get the 16-byte value for Arrow storage. This gives callers a real UUID object (with full UUID API surface) instead of an opaque byte string.

why do we still have to take in str?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Dropped str entirely. compute_pipeline_entry_id now returns bytes (a method-prefixed digest via ContentHash.to_prefixed_digest()), and UUID-based record IDs are stored as 16-byte raw values — both are bytes. There is no longer a caller path that passes a str record ID, so the str union arm was just dead code.

why is this necessary? What currently can yield incompatible str record_id?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Cleaned up — record_id is now bytes only and _ensure_record_id_column always creates a pa.large_binary() column (no conditional branch on type). pa.large_binary() is used uniformly for all database record ID columns: it accommodates both fixed-size UUID bytes (16 bytes) and variable-length method-prefixed pipeline entry digests without requiring a schema change if sizes shift.

we should drop support for large_string
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Dropped large_string support entirely. _ensure_record_id_column now always creates a pa.large_binary() column unconditionally, and all str | bytes / str type annotations in the Delta Lake DB layer have been updated to bytes only — matching the protocol and the other database implementations.
…o_prefixed_digest()
Addresses second round of PR review comments on the UUID Arrow type migration.
Key changes:
- Add `ContentHash.to_prefixed_digest()` → `b"{method}:{digest}"` for
human-readable method-prefixed binary record IDs
- `compute_pipeline_entry_id()` now returns `bytes` via `to_prefixed_digest()`;
update all `dict[str, ...]` caches in FunctionNode to `dict[bytes, ...]`
- Migrate all database record-ID storage from `pa.binary(16)` → `pa.large_binary()`
so UUID-based and hash-based IDs share a single consistent Arrow type
- Drop `str | bytes` unions from `ArrowDatabaseProtocol`, all DB implementations,
and `_pending_record_ids`; record IDs are now uniformly `bytes`
- `_make_record_id_bytes` → `_make_record_id` returning `uuid.UUID` (caller calls `.bytes`)
- Namespace URL fixed: `orcapod.io` → `orcapod.org`, "Orcapod" capitalisation,
computed UUID value added as comment
- Revert C3: include all system tag columns (including record_id) in dedup hash
so rows with identical data values but different provenance are not collapsed
- Add test for `col_type` preservation through `_predict_system_tag_schema`
- Improve datagram.py comment explaining uuid_utils vs stdlib normalisation
- Update all DB and FunctionNode tests to use `bytes` record IDs

…ID mapping - test-objective/unit/test_databases.py: update all string record IDs to bytes literals (b"...") to match the bytes-only record_id API introduced in the large_binary migration. String IDs were silently encoded by PyArrow but then not found during set-membership lookup (str != bytes). - postgresql_connector.py: map PostgreSQL uuid type to pa.large_string() instead of pa.binary(16), completing the TODO: PLT-1162 marker in the integration test. psycopg returns uuid.UUID objects; the value coercion now calls str(value) to produce the canonical "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" form. - tests/test_databases/test_postgresql_connector.py: update test_uuid assertion to expect pa.large_string(). - tests/test_databases/test_postgresql_connector_integration.py: remove the # TODO: PLT-1162 comment now that the assertion is fulfilled.

Add a shared ``coerce_record_id(str | bytes) -> bytes`` helper in ``databases/_utils.py`` and apply it at the entry of every public method that accepts a ``record_id`` parameter: - ``add_record`` / ``get_record_by_id`` / ``get_records_by_ids`` in ``InMemoryArrowDatabase``, ``ConnectorArrowDatabase``, ``DeltaTableDatabase``, and ``NoOpArrowDatabase`` - ``_ensure_record_id_column`` and ``_create_record_id_filter`` in ``DeltaTableDatabase`` The protocol signatures are updated to ``str | bytes`` to reflect that both are accepted. Internally all paths remain ``bytes`` after coercion; the Arrow storage type stays ``pa.large_binary()``. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Migrates OrcaPod’s UUID handling from string-based Arrow storage toward binary representations, updating semantic type conversion, hashing/caching IDs, and database record ID APIs to work with bytes and fixed-size binary types.
Changes:
- Introduces a
UUIDStructConverterand registers it in the default semantic registry; updatesUUIDHandlerto hash UUIDs via raw bytes. - Switches many internal identifiers (system tags, pipeline entry IDs, observers, DB record IDs) from
strtobytesand updates tests accordingly. - Expands type conversion support for
fixed_size_binary→bytes, and updates multiple DB implementations/connectors to store record IDs in binary columns.

Fixed — changed add_system_tag_columns() to use pa.binary(16) for the record_id column. Record IDs in system tags are always UUID v5 bytes (exactly 16 bytes), so pa.binary(16) is the precise type. The docstring and the implementation now agree.

Fixed in commit e0bbc37. The integration test now asserts infos["i"].arrow_type == pa.binary(16) for the UUID column.

No code change needed — updated the PR description instead. Adding module-level constants to types.py would trigger PyArrow import at types import time, defeating the LazyModule pattern already used there. Each call site keeping its own pa.binary(16) literal is clear and avoids that footgun. The PR description table row for types.py now reflects this.

The code is correct — datagram_id intentionally returns uuid.UUID (not bytes), as agreed in a prior review round. The PR description's Breaking Change note was wrong. Updated it to correctly state: datagram_id → uuid.UUID; record_id/_log_id/_status_id → bytes (16 bytes).
…op uuid module alias - Remove `import uuid as _uuid_module` alias in data_function.py — use plain `import uuid` instead - Change system-tag record_id column from pa.large_binary() to pa.binary(16) in arrow_utils.py: record IDs are always UUID v5 bytes (exactly 16 bytes), so a fixed-size type is more precise - Revert PostgreSQL UUID → Arrow mapping from pa.large_string() back to pa.binary(16), and coerce uuid.UUID values via .bytes instead of str() - Update unit and integration test assertions to match pa.binary(16) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The property returns a uuid.UUID, so the name datagram_uuid is more descriptive. Renames the public property and protocol method, the private backing field (_datagram_uuid), and all call sites. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
