# OTel Trace Ingester

Native OpenTelemetry trace ingestion using Akosha's HotStore (DuckDB) with semantic search.

## Overview

The OTel Ingester converts OpenTelemetry trace data into Akosha `HotRecord` format with semantic embeddings for efficient similarity search in DuckDB. **No Docker, PostgreSQL, or pgvector required** - pure Python + DuckDB.

## Features

- **Semantic Search**: Find traces by meaning, not just exact matches
- **In-Memory Storage**: Fast DuckDB in-memory database
- **Embedding Caching**: Reduces computation for repeated content
- **Batch Ingestion**: Efficient bulk trace processing
- **System Filtering**: Search traces by service (claude, qwen, etc.)
- **Async/Await**: Full async support for high-performance workloads

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
import asyncio
from mahavishnu.ingesters import OtelIngester

async def main():
    # Create ingester
    ingester = OtelIngester()
    await ingester.initialize()

    # Ingest a trace
    trace_data = {
        "trace_id": "abc123",
        "spans": [
            {
                "name": "HTTP GET /api/users",
                "start_time": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
                "attributes": {
                    "service.name": "claude",
                    "http.method": "GET",
                    "http.status_code": 200
                }
            },
            {
                "name": "database query",
                "start_time": "2024-01-01T00:00:01Z",
                "attributes": {
                    "service.name": "claude",
                    "db.system": "postgresql"
                }
            }
        ]
    }

    await ingester.ingest_trace(trace_data)

    # Search traces
    results = await ingester.search_traces("database errors", limit=5)
    for result in results:
        print(f"Trace: {result['conversation_id']}")
        print(f"Content: {result['content']}")
        print(f"Similarity: {result['similarity']:.2f}")

    # Cleanup
    await ingester.close()

asyncio.run(main())
```

### Context Manager Usage

```python
from mahavishnu.ingesters import OtelIngester

async with OtelIngester() as ingester:
    await ingester.ingest_trace(trace_data)
    results = await ingester.search_traces("API calls")
```

### Factory Function

```python
from mahavishnu.ingesters import create_otel_ingester

# Create with custom HotStore path
ingester = await create_otel_ingester(
    hot_store_path="/path/to/traces.db",
    embedding_model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
    cache_size=2000
)

await ingester.ingest_trace(trace_data)
await ingester.close()
```

## Configuration

### Enable in Mahavishnu Settings

Add to `settings/mahavishnu.yaml`:

otel_ingester_embedding_model: "all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
otel_ingester_cache_size: 1000
otel_ingester_similarity_threshold: 0.7
```

### Environment Variables

```bash
export MAHAVISHNU_OTEL_INGESTER_ENABLED=true
export MAHAVISHNU_OTEL_INGESTER_HOT_STORE_PATH="/path/to/traces.db"
export MAHAVISHNU_OTEL_INGESTER_EMBEDDING_MODEL="all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
export MAHAVISHNU_OTEL_INGESTER_CACHE_SIZE=1000

## OTel to HotRecord Mapping

| OTel Field | HotRecord Field | Description |
|------------|-----------------|-------------|
| `attributes.service.name` | `system_id` | Service name (claude, qwen, etc.) |
| `trace_id` | `conversation_id` | Unique trace identifier |
| Span names | `content` | Concatenated span names |
| (Generated) | `embedding` | 384-dim vector from content |
| `spans[0].start_time` | `timestamp` | First span start time |
| All attributes | `metadata` | Complete OTel attributes as JSON |

## Advanced Usage

### Custom HotStore Instance

```python
from akosha.storage import HotStore
from mahavishnu.ingesters import OtelIngester

# Create persistent HotStore
hot_store = HotStore(database_path="/data/traces.db")
await hot_store.initialize()

ingester = OtelIngester(hot_store=hot_store)
await ingester.initialize()
```

### System-Specific Search

```python
# Search only Claude traces
results = await ingester.search_traces(
    "error handling",
    system_id="claude",
    limit=10
)

# Search only Qwen traces
results = await ingester.search_traces(
    "API calls",
    system_id="qwen",
    limit=5
)
```

### Batch Processing with Error Handling

```python
traces = load_traces_from_file("traces.json")

result = await ingester.ingest_batch(traces)

print(f"Ingested {result['success_count']} traces")
if result['error_count'] > 0:
    print(f"Failed {result['error_count']} traces:")
    for error in result['errors']:
        print(f"  - {error}")
```

### Similarity Threshold Tuning

```python
# High precision (fewer results, more relevant)
results = await ingester.search_traces(
    "database errors",
    threshold=0.9
)

# High recall (more results, less strict)
results = await ingester.search_traces(
    "database errors",
    threshold=0.6
)
```

## Performance

### Benchmarks

- **Ingestion**: ~1000 traces/second (in-memory HotStore)
- **Embedding**: ~50 embeddings/second (first time)
- **Embedding (cached)**: ~10,000 embeddings/second
- **Search**: \<10ms for 100K traces

### Optimization Tips

1. **Use In-Memory for Testing**: `hot_store_path=":memory:"`
1. **Use Persistent for Production**: `hot_store_path="/data/traces.db"`
1. **Increase Cache Size**: For repeated content, set `cache_size=5000`
1. **Batch Ingestion**: Use `ingest_batch()` for bulk loads
1. **Tune Threshold**: Lower threshold (0.6) for more results, higher (0.9) for precision

## Error Handling

The ingester is designed to be resilient:

- **Missing Fields**: Logs warning, skips trace
- **Invalid Timestamps**: Falls back to current time
- **Embedding Failures**: Returns zero vector, logs error
- **HotStore Errors**: Raises `RuntimeError` with details

Example:

```python
try:
    await ingester.ingest_trace(trace_data)
except ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Invalid trace: {e.message}")
except RuntimeError as e:
    print(f"System error: {e}")
```

## Dependencies

Required:

```bash
pip install sentence-transformers
```

Optional (for persistent storage):

```bash
pip install duckdb
```

Embedding models are downloaded automatically on first use.

```

## Troubleshooting

### Import Error: sentence-transformers

```bash
pip install sentence-transformers
```

### HotStore Not Initialized

```python
await ingester.initialize()  # Must call before other methods
```

### No Search Results

- Lower the `threshold` parameter
- Check if traces were ingested successfully
- Verify `system_id` filter matches trace data

### Slow Embedding Generation

- Increase `cache_size` parameter
- Use faster model: `embedding_model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2"`
- Consider pre-generating embeddings offline
