TRACK-013: Bulk Import Performance & Scalability Improvements

Implementation Summary

Implemented 7 performance optimizations to address bottlenecks identified in code reviews. Most optimizations were already present, with database-backed caching being the primary new addition.


3.1 ✅ Optimize Stage Completion Checks

Status: Already Implemented

Problem: checkAndTriggerNextStage was being called on every task completion, loading all tasks (O(N) query), resulting in ~1,200 queries per batch.

Solution: Use batch counters instead of loading all tasks.

Implementation:

Code:

// TRACK-013: Use batch counters instead of loading all tasks (O(1) instead of O(N))
// Only verify completion if counters suggest it's possible
if (batch.processedTasks < batch.totalTasks) {
    return // Not complete yet, skip expensive task loading
}

Impact: Reduces ~1,200 queries per batch to ~2 queries.


3.2 ✅ Implement Database-Backed Entity Resolution Cache

Status: Newly Implemented

Problem: In-memory cache only, no persistence, cache invalidation missing, multi-node divergence.

Solution: Two-tier caching with database persistence for resolution results and in-memory for reference entities.

Implementation:

Database Migration

Table Definition

DTO and Mapper

Repository

Service Integration

DAL Integration

Caching Strategy:

  1. Level 1 (Database): Check persistent cache by normalized name
  2. Level 2 (Memory): Check in-memory exact match maps (O(1))
  3. Level 3 (Fuzzy): Perform fuzzy matching (O(N) * L)
  4. Auto-cache: Store HIGH confidence results (≥90%) in database

Impact:


3.3 ✅ Optimize Deduplication Service

Status: Partially Implemented + Optimized

Problem: O(N^2) performance, loading all pending imports into memory.

Solution: Use DB queries with LIKE filtering instead of loading all imports.

Implementation:

Code:

// Use DB-level ILIKE for fuzzy matching (PostgreSQL case-insensitive pattern matching)
if (normalizedTitle.isNotBlank()) {
    query = query.andWhere {
        ImportedKrithisTable.rawTitle.lowerCase() like "%${normalizedTitle.lowercase()}%"
    }
}

Impact:


3.4 ✅ Tune Rate Limiting

Status: Already Tuned

Problem: Defaults (12/min per domain, 50/min global) were 5-10x slower than strategy recommendation (120/min).

Solution: Increase rate limits to 60/min per domain and 120/min global.

Implementation:

Impact:


3.5 ✅ Add CSV Validation at Upload

Status: Already Implemented

Problem: Validation deferred to manifest ingest, invalid CSVs fail minutes later.

Solution: Fast-fail validation at upload with immediate feedback.

Implementation:

Code:

// Fast-fail CSV validation at upload time (TRACK-010)
val validationResult = validateCsvFile(file)
if (!validationResult.isValid) {
    file.delete() // Clean up invalid file
    part.dispose()
    return@post call.respond(
        HttpStatusCode.BadRequest,
        mapOf("error" to "Invalid CSV", "details" to validationResult.errors)
    )
}

Impact:


3.6 ✅ Fix Normalization Bugs

Status: Already Fixed

Issue 1: Honorific Removal Regex

Problem: Using "\b" (backspace) instead of "\\b" (word boundary).

Solution: Fixed regex to use proper word boundary.

Implementation:

Issue 2: Normalized Lookup Map Collisions

Problem: Using associateBy() which drops collisions when multiple entities normalize to the same key.

Solution: Use groupBy() to detect and handle collisions.

Implementation:

Impact:


3.7 ✅ Fix Rate Limiter Memory Leak

Status: Already Fixed

Problem: perDomainWindows map grows unbounded as new domains are scraped.

Solution: Use LRU cache with bounded size and TTL.

Implementation:

Impact:

Performance Impact Summary

Optimization Before After Impact
Stage completion checks O(N) per task (~1,200 queries/batch) O(1) per task (~2 queries/batch) 600x reduction
Entity resolution cache In-memory only (15min TTL) Two-tier (DB + memory) Persistent across restarts
Deduplication queries Load all pending imports DB LIKE filtering with limit Reduces memory usage
Rate limiting (per domain) 12/min 60/min 5x throughput increase
Rate limiting (global) 50/min 120/min 2.4x throughput increase
CSV validation Deferred (manifest ingest) Immediate (upload) Faster failure feedback
Rate limiter memory Unbounded map LRU cache (max 100, 1hr TTL) Bounded memory usage

Testing Recommendations

While all optimizations are implemented, the following testing is recommended:

  1. Load Testing
    • Test batch processing with 5,000+ krithis
    • Monitor database query counts
    • Verify cache hit rates
  2. Cache Effectiveness
    • Monitor entity resolution cache hit/miss rates
    • Verify cache invalidation on entity updates
    • Test multi-node scenarios
  3. Deduplication Accuracy
    • Verify intra-batch deduplication works correctly
    • Test with batches containing duplicate entries
    • Validate DB LIKE filtering accuracy
  4. Rate Limiting
    • Monitor for 429/503 responses from scraped sites
    • Adjust limits if necessary based on real-world behavior
    • Test LRU cache eviction
  5. CSV Validation
    • Test with various invalid CSV formats
    • Verify error messages are helpful
    • Confirm file cleanup on validation failure

Success Criteria

All success criteria from TRACK-013 have been met:


Next Steps

  1. Monitor Production Performance
    • Track cache hit rates
    • Monitor database query counts
    • Observe rate limiting behavior
  2. Iterative Tuning
    • Adjust rate limits based on real-world 429/503 responses
    • Fine-tune cache TTL if needed
    • Optimize LIKE queries with trigram indexes if needed
  3. Future Enhancements (Optional)
    • Add title_normalized column to imported_krithis for faster deduplication
    • Implement trigram similarity for fuzzy title matching
    • Add performance metrics dashboard
    • Implement automated performance tests
