diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 6be6e8fc0d..bb2d2df3d9 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +## 0.27.17 + +### Fixes + +- **Serializing a chunk copied its `orig_elements` twice and threw both copies away.** `ElementMetadata.to_dict()` deep-copied every metadata field before replacing `coordinates`, `data_source`, `orig_elements` and `key_value_pairs` with their serialized form, and `_fix_metadata_field_precision()` copied each element again to round coordinates and `detection_class_prob` that most elements do not carry. On a chunk, `orig_elements` holds every source element of that chunk, so both copies duplicated the document. Serializing chunks is now roughly 4x to 6x faster through `to_dict()` and 6x to 10x faster through `elements_to_json()`; `elements_to_json()` on elements with no `orig_elements` is about 3x faster. **Behavior change:** `Element.id` mints a uuid on first access and caches it on that element, so the discarded copies used to take the new ids with them and consecutive serializations of one chunk reported different `element_id`s for the same source elements. Ids are now minted on the caller's element and are stable across calls, in `elements_to_json()` and `elements_to_ndjson()` as well as inside `orig_elements`. Elements given an explicit or hash-derived id were never affected. + ## 0.27.16 ### Fixes diff --git a/test_unstructured/documents/test_elements.py b/test_unstructured/documents/test_elements.py index e96bee55d1..775a063c46 100644 --- a/test_unstructured/documents/test_elements.py +++ b/test_unstructured/documents/test_elements.py @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ import json import pathlib from functools import partial +from unittest.mock import patch import pytest @@ -426,6 +427,99 @@ def and_it_serializes_an_orig_elements_sub_object_to_base64_when_it_is_present(s assert restored[0].text == "Lorem" assert restored[1].text == "Lorem Ipsum" + def and_it_does_not_deep_copy_the_sub_objects_it_reserializes(self): + """`to_dict()` replaces `orig_elements` with its base64 form, so copying it first is waste. + + On a chunk, `orig_elements` holds every source element of that chunk, so the discarded copy + dominated the cost of serializing it. + """ + meta = ElementMetadata( + orig_elements=assign_hash_ids([Title("Lorem"), Text("Lorem Ipsum")]), + page_number=2, + ) + copied_dicts = [] + real_deepcopy = copy.deepcopy + + def recording_deepcopy(x, memo=None): + if isinstance(x, dict): + copied_dicts.append(x) + return real_deepcopy(x, memo) + + with patch.object(copy, "deepcopy", recording_deepcopy): + meta.to_dict() + + assert copied_dicts, "expected `to_dict()` to copy its remaining fields" + assert all( + separately_serialized_field not in copied + for copied in copied_dicts + for separately_serialized_field in ElementMetadata.SEPARATELY_SERIALIZED_FIELD_NAMES + ) + + def and_it_emits_the_separately_serialized_fields_in_their_declared_position(self): + """A field's key position must not depend on whether it gets a separate serialized form. + + `Element.to_dict()` output is written verbatim by consumers that do not sort keys, so + moving `coordinates`, `data_source`, `orig_elements` or `key_value_pairs` to the end of the + dict changes the bytes they write. + """ + meta = ElementMetadata( + coordinates=CoordinatesMetadata( + points=((2, 2), (1, 4), (3, 4), (3, 2)), system=RelativeCoordinateSystem() + ), + data_source=DataSourceMetadata(url="https://example.com"), + filetype="text/plain", + languages=["eng"], + orig_elements=assign_hash_ids([Title("Lorem"), Text("Lorem Ipsum")]), + page_number=2, + ) + + assert list(meta.to_dict()) == [ + "coordinates", + "data_source", + "filetype", + "languages", + "orig_elements", + "page_number", + ] + + def and_it_serializes_orig_elements_the_same_way_on_every_call(self): + """Two `to_dict()` calls on one metadata must agree on the ids of its `orig_elements`. + + `Element.id` mints a uuid on first access and caches it on that instance.
