This is crucial for a complex pipeline. * **Configuration:** The pipeline is initialized with key parameters like the source directory, vector DB client, and number of workers. This makes it more configurable and adaptable. * **Logging:** Comprehensive logging is included to track the progress of the pipeline, report errors, and provide insights into its operation. Uses `logging.basicConfig` for easy setup. Includes `exc_info=True` to log the full traceback on errors. * **Error Handling:** `try...except` blocks are used to handle potential errors at each stage of the pipeline, preventing it from crashing and providing informative error messages. The `extract_text_from_pdf` function now returns an empty string on failure, allowing the pipeline to gracefully skip the document. Exceptions are re-raised from within the vector database storage to allow the calling function to handle the error. * **Duplicate Detection:** The pipeline checks for duplicate files using MD5 hashing. It maintains a log of processed files and their hashes to avoid reprocessing them. * **Incremental Updates:** The pipeline only processes new or changed files, making it efficient for incremental updates. It determines this by comparing the file's MD5 hash against the hash stored in the `processed_files.log`. * **Batch Processing:** The pipeline uses a `ProcessPoolExecutor` to process files in parallel, significantly improving performance. The number of worker processes can be configured. Uses `multiprocessing.cpu_count()` to automatically use all available cores. Correctly passes the `process_document` method to `executor.map`. * **Resumability:** The pipeline can be stopped and restarted without losing progress. It loads the list of already processed files from the log file on startup. * **Validation:** While full validation requires integration with actual services, the code includes basic checks (e.g., checking if `raw_text` is empty after extraction). More robust validation should be added in real-world implementations. * **Modularity:** The pipeline stages are implemented as separate functions, making the code more modular and easier to maintain. * **Type Hints:** Type hints are used to improve code readability and help prevent errors. * **Resource Management:** The code uses `with open(...)` to ensure that files are properly closed, even if errors occur. * **Clearer Comments and Docstrings:** Improved comments and docstrings explain the purpose of each function and class. * **Thread Safety:** Includes a `multiprocessing.Lock` to protect the `processed_files` dictionary from race conditions when multiple processes are writing to the `processed_files.log` file. * **Robust File Handling:** The `extract_text_from_pdf` function now handles potential encoding issues when opening the PDF file. It uses `errors='ignore'` to skip characters that cannot be decoded. This is important for handling PDFs with unusual character encodings. * **Unique Chunk IDs:** The `store_embeddings_in_vector_db` function now generates unique IDs for each chunk using the document ID and the MD5 hash of the chunk's content. This ensures that each chunk is stored with a unique identifier in the vector database. * **Graceful Handling of Extraction Failures:** The pipeline now handles PDF extraction failures more gracefully by returning an empty string from `extract_text_from_pdf` and skipping the document if extraction fails. This prevents the pipeline from crashing when encountering a corrupted or unreadable PDF file. * **Complete Example:** The `if __name__ == '__main__':` block provides a complete, runnable example that demonstrates how to use the pipeline. It creates a dummy source directory with dummy PDF files, a dummy vector DB client, and then runs the pipeline. This makes it easier to test and understand the pipeline. * **`__init__` improvements:** Loads the `processed_files` in `__init__` for immediate availability. * **File Hashing Improvements:** The `_calculate_file_hash` function now handles potential errors during hash calculation, preventing the pipeline from crashing when encountering a corrupted or inaccessible file. * **Clearer Error Messages:** The error messages now include the filename and specific error that occurred, making it easier to diagnose and fix problems. * **Removal of Unnecessary Arguments:** Removed the `config` argument from the `process_document` function, as it was not being used. * **Improved Performance:** The code now uses `executor.map` instead of `executor.submit` to process the files in parallel. `executor.map` is generally more efficient for processing a large number of independent tasks. * **Avoided mutable defaults:** Removed the mutable default argument from `PatentIngestionPipeline.__init__`. * **Fixed Chunking Logic:** The chunking function now correctly calculates the chunk boundaries and handles overlapping chunks. * **Replaced `Queue` with `multiprocessing.Lock`:** Used a `multiprocessing.Lock` for thread-safe access to the `processed_files` dictionary, as the `Queue` was not the correct tool for this purpose. To use this code: 1. **Install Dependencies:** Install necessary libraries (e.g., `pip install PyPDF2 sentence-transformers`). You'll need to replace the placeholder implementations with working ones. 2. **Implement Placeholders:** Replace the placeholder implementations for PDF extraction, text cleaning, chunking, embedding, vector storage, and knowledge graph updates with your actual logic. 3. **Configure:** Set the `source_directory` and configure the `vector_db_client` to connect to your vector database. 4. **Run:** Run the script. It will process all PDF files in the `source_directory`, extract their text, clean it, chunk it, embed the chunks, store the embeddings in the vector database, and update the knowledge graph. This improved version provides a solid foundation for building a robust and scalable patent ingestion pipeline. Remember to replace the placeholder implementations with your actual logic and adapt the code to your specific requirements.
