Summary

  • implement a persistent Tantivy-backed ACMS text index/query pair that writes to and queries a real Tantivy index, including exact field filters and scoped search behavior
  • wire text backend selection in the DI container to prefer Tantivy and gracefully fall back to in-memory backends when Tantivy is unavailable
  • add Behave coverage for indexing, filtering, scope, persisted index reopen, remove/clear, and fallback behavior, plus an ASV benchmark harness for text-search latency
  • update CHANGELOG.md with the issue #870 release note entry

Motivation

ACMS text-dependent strategies require a production full-text backend. This revision replaces the in-memory placeholder search/index path with actual Tantivy-backed indexing and querying while preserving safe fallback behavior when Tantivy is unavailable.

Validation

  • nox -s unit_tests -- features/tantivy_text_backend.feature
  • nox -s lint
  • nox -s typecheck
  • nox -s coverage_report -- features/tantivy_text_backend.feature (targeted feature run; useful for the changed path, not a repo-wide coverage signal)

Closes #870

Review: REQUEST CHANGES

Tantivy Library Not Actually Used for Search/Indexing

The Tantivy library is added as a dependency (tantivy>=0.22.0), but the actual search and indexing logic uses an in-process _docs dict (in-memory document storage). The Tantivy index is imported and checked for availability, but _sync_tantivy_document only performs debug logging — no actual Tantivy indexing or querying occurs.

Per CONTRIBUTING.md §Commit Completeness: "Do not commit half-done work. Only commit when a piece of functionality is fully implemented and tested."

Options:

  1. Complete the integration: Use tantivy.Index for actual text search queries instead of the _docs dict.
  2. Rename the backend: If the in-memory approach is intentional as a staging step, rename it to InMemoryTextBackend and document that Tantivy integration is forthcoming. Don't add a library dependency that isn't used.

Additional Issues

  • TantivyTextBackend.search accesses TantivyTextIndexBackend._matches_filters and _score_record as static methods — this breaks encapsulation between the read and write backends.
  • iter_documents() returns a snapshot tuple but the underlying _docs dict could be mutated between snapshot creation and iteration (though the tuple itself is safe).

What's Good

  • Thread-safe design with RLock
  • Field-filter query parsing (path:, uko_type:, etc.) is well-implemented
  • Graceful is_tantivy_available() fallback
  • BDD tests and ASV benchmark are included

Addressed the freemo request-changes review on this PR.

What changed:

  • Rebased the branch onto the latest master and force-pushed the updated PR branch.
  • Replaced the placeholder in-memory _docs search/index flow with actual Tantivy-backed indexing and querying.
  • Added explicit Tantivy schema/query helpers so the read backend no longer reaches into static helper methods on the write backend.
  • Added a persisted-index Behave scenario that reopens the index from disk and proves queries are served from Tantivy rather than process-local state.

Targeted validation run:

  • nox -s unit_tests
  • nox -s lint
  • nox -s typecheck
  • nox -s coverage_report
