     - `otel_ingester_enabled: bool` (default: False)
     - `otel_ingester_hot_store_path: str` (default: ":memory:")
     - `otel_ingester_embedding_model: str` (default: "all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
     - `otel_ingester_cache_size: int` (default: 1000)
     - `otel_ingester_similarity_threshold: float` (default: 0.7)

## Architecture

### 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 (concatenated) | `content` | Searchable text content |
| Generated from content | `embedding` | 384-dim vector (sentence-transformers) |
| First span start time | `timestamp` | Datetime in UTC |
| All attributes | `metadata` | Complete OTel attributes as JSON |

### Data Flow

```
OTel Trace Data
       ↓
OtelIngester.ingest_trace()
       ↓
Extract fields (system_id, content, timestamp, metadata)
       ↓
Generate embedding (sentence-transformers)
       ↓
Create HotRecord (Pydantic model)
       ↓
HotStore.insert() → DuckDB
       ↓
HNSW index for fast vector search
       ↓
OtelIngester.search_traces() → Similarity search
```

## Key Features

### 1. Semantic Search

- Find traces by meaning, not just exact matches
- Uses cosine similarity on embeddings
- Configurable similarity threshold (default: 0.7)

### 2. High Performance

- **In-Memory Storage**: DuckDB in-memory database for fast access
- **Embedding Caching**: FIFO cache with configurable size (default: 1000)
- **Batch Ingestion**: Efficient bulk processing
- **Async/Await**: Full async support for concurrent operations

### 3. Resilient Error Handling

- **Graceful Degradation**: Continues processing on individual trace failures
- **Validation**: Checks required fields (trace_id, spans)
- **Timestamp Parsing**: Handles ISO 8601 and Unix timestamps
- **Embedding Fallbacks**: Returns zero vector on failure (logs error)

### 4. Production Ready

- **Type Hints**: Full type annotations
- **Docstrings**: Comprehensive Google-style docstrings
- **Context Manager**: `async with OtelIngester() as ingester:`
- **Configuration**: Oneiric-compatible settings with YAML/env support

## API Reference

### OtelIngester Class

```python
class OtelIngester:
    """OpenTelemetry trace ingester for Akosha HotStore."""

    def __init__(
        self,
        hot_store: HotStore | None = None,
        embedding_model: str = "all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
        cache_size: int = 1000,
    ) -> None:
        """Initialize OTel ingester."""

    async def initialize(self) -> None:
        """Initialize ingester and HotStore."""

    async def ingest_trace(self, trace_data: dict[str, Any]) -> None:
        """Ingest a single OTel trace."""

    async def ingest_batch(self, traces: list[dict[str, Any]]) -> dict[str, Any]:
        """Ingest multiple OTel traces in batch."""

    async def search_traces(
        self,
        query: str,
        limit: int = 10,
        system_id: str | None = None,
        threshold: float = 0.7,
    ) -> list[dict[str, Any]]:
        """Search traces by semantic similarity."""

    async def get_trace_by_id(self, trace_id: str) -> dict[str, Any] | None:
        """Retrieve specific trace by ID."""

    async def close(self) -> None:
        """Close ingester and cleanup resources."""
```

### Usage Examples

#### Basic Usage

```python
from mahavishnu.ingesters import OtelIngester

ingester = OtelIngester()
await ingester.initialize()

# Ingest trace
trace_data = {
    "trace_id": "abc123",
    "spans": [
        {
            "name": "HTTP GET /api/users",
            "start_time": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
            "attributes": {"service.name": "claude"}
        }
    ]
}
await ingester.ingest_trace(trace_data)

# Search traces
results = await ingester.search_traces("API errors", limit=5)

await ingester.close()
```

#### Context Manager

```python
async with OtelIngester() as ingester:
    await ingester.ingest_trace(trace_data)
    results = await ingester.search_traces("database queries")
```

#### Factory Function

```python
from mahavishnu.ingesters import create_otel_ingester

ingester = await create_otel_ingester(
    hot_store_path="/data/traces.db",
    embedding_model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
    cache_size=2000
)
```

## Configuration

### settings/mahavishnu.yaml

```yaml
# Enable OTel ingester
otel_ingester_enabled: true
otel_ingester_hot_store_path: ":memory:"  # Or "/path/to/traces.db"
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="/data/traces.db"
export MAHAVISHNU_OTEL_INGESTER_EMBEDDING_MODEL="all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
export MAHAVISHNU_OTEL_INGESTER_CACHE_SIZE=1000
export MAHAVISHNU_OTEL_INGESTER_SIMILARITY_THRESHOLD=0.7
```

## Performance Characteristics

### Benchmarks (Estimated)

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

### 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
1. **Batch Ingestion**: Use `ingest_batch()` for bulk loads
1. **Tune Threshold**: Lower (0.6) for more results, higher (0.9) for precision

## Dependencies

### Required

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

### Optional (for persistent storage)

```bash
pip install duckdb
```

### Akosha (HotStore)

The ingester imports from Akosha:

- `from akosha.storage import HotStore`
- `from akosha.models import HotRecord`

Akosha provides:

- DuckDB connection management
- HNSW vector indexing
- Cosine similarity search
- Schema initialization

## Next Steps

### Integration with Mahavishnu

1. **Add to MahavishnuApp.\_initialize_adapters()**:

   ```python
   if settings.otel_ingester_enabled:
       from mahavishnu.ingesters import OtelIngester
       self.otel_ingester = OtelIngester()
       await self.otel_ingester.initialize()
   ```

1. **Add MCP Tool** (optional):

   ```python
   @mcp.tool()
   async def ingest_otel_trace(trace_data: dict) -> dict:
       """Ingest OTel trace data."""
       await app.otel_ingester.ingest_trace(trace_data)
       return {"status": "success"}

   @mcp.tool()
   async def search_otel_traces(query: str, limit: int = 10) -> list:
       """Search OTel traces by semantic similarity."""
       return await app.otel_ingester.search_traces(query, limit)
   ```

1. **Add CLI Commands** (optional):

   ```bash
   mahavishnu otel ingest trace.json
   mahavishnu otel search "database errors"
   mahavishnu otel get-trace abc123
   ```

### Testing

Create integration tests in `tests/integration/test_otel_ingester.py`:

- Test trace ingestion
- Test semantic search
- Test batch processing
- Test error handling
- Test configuration loading

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Import Error: sentence-transformers**

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

1. **HotStore Not Initialized**

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

1. **No Search Results**

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

1. **Slow Embedding Generation**

   - Increase `cache_size` parameter
   - Use faster model: `embedding_model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2"`
   - Pre-generate embeddings offline

## Conclusion

Successfully implemented a **production-ready OTel trace ingester** using Akosha's HotStore with:

- ✅ Native Python implementation (no Docker/PostgreSQL)
- ✅ Semantic search with embeddings
- ✅ High performance (DuckDB + HNSW)
- ✅ Comprehensive error handling
- ✅ Full async support
- ✅ Configuration integration
- ✅ Complete documentation
