Reapplies #1171 and stabilizes zero-length vector save/restore coverage.
Wait for initial backfill and KNN indexing to complete before saving.

This reverts commit cae4fd2.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change allows empty-key documents in indexing metadata. Integration tests cover full-text, JSON, vector, and RDB v2 save/restore behavior, including updates and stale-result removal.

Changes

Empty-key indexing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Allow empty keys in indexing paths
src/index_schema.cc, src/indexes/vector_base.cc
Null key handling is separated from empty-key handling. Vector tracking and metadata updates no longer reject empty keys.
Validate full-text and JSON indexing
integration/test_fulltext.py, integration/test_non_vector.py
Tests verify empty-key HASH and JSON documents through backfill, live updates, text searches, tag queries, and numeric queries.
Validate vector indexing and save/restore
integration/test_vss_basic.py, integration/test_saverestore.py
Tests cover empty-key HNSW and FLAT vector indexes before and after RDB v2 save/restore. The BGSAVE mutation-queue test now joins its worker thread.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5f3c8

The change improves zero-length vector save/restore coverage, but one test assertion may fail to validate every returned response element, allowing a regression to pass unnoticed. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to make the response matching strict.

🌐 Web query:

Ubuntu 24.04 Noble default python3 version python3.12

💡 Result:

Yes, Python 3.12 is the default Python 3 version for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) [1][2][3]. The system interpreter, accessible via the python3 command, is based on the Python 3.12 series [4][5][6]. Official documentation and release notes confirm that Python 3.12 is the default version included with the distribution [2][3]. As is standard for Ubuntu, this system-provided Python is used by various system tools (such as apt and cloud-init) [5][6][7]; it is recommended to use virtual environments or tools like pipx to manage project-specific dependencies to avoid conflicts with system-managed packages [5][6][7].

Citations:


Use strict=True in both zip() calls.

The integration environment uses Python 3.12. Without strict=True, an odd-length response can be silently truncated.

Greptile Summary

The PR restores indexing support for valid zero-length Valkey keys and expands regression coverage across text, numeric/tag, JSON, Flat vector, HNSW vector, and RDB restore paths.

  • Replaces the empty-string rejection in the keyspace mutation path with a null-pointer check.
  • Allows vector metadata tracking, updating, and removal for zero-length keys.
  • Adds live-ingestion, backfill, KNN, and save/restore integration coverage.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/index_schema.cc Replaces the zero-length-string rejection with a null-pointer guard so valid empty keys enter the normal mutation pipeline.
src/indexes/vector_base.cc Removes empty-key restrictions from vector metadata tracking, modification, and removal while retaining normal map and internal-ID handling.
integration/test_saverestore.py Adds Flat and HNSW persistence coverage for a zero-length vector key, including pre-save indexing waits and post-restart verification.
integration/test_fulltext.py Adds backfill and live-update coverage for a zero-length hash key in a text index.
integration/test_non_vector.py Adds backfill and live-update coverage for a zero-length JSON key with tag and numeric fields.
integration/test_vss_basic.py Adds Flat and HNSW backfill coverage proving KNN responses preserve a zero-length key.
