CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project

OPC UA data ingestion service. Pulls tags from OPC UA servers, streams to Kafka (optional) and persists to MongoDB. Horizontally scaled via Redis-coordinated slot leasing — multiple pods share tag load without central orchestration.

Depends on internal shared lib sientia-dataops-library (imported as sientia_do, pinned in requirements.txt via git+ssh) for logging, notifications, metrics controller, and Mongo/Redis repositories. Base classes/utilities from sientia_do won't be visible in this repo — check that lib's source if behavior there is unclear.

Commands

python3.11 -m venv venv && source ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt

./run_local.sh                          # loads .env, runs python -m ingestor.app
./run_coverage.sh                       # pytest --cov=ingestor --cov-report=html, opens report

pytest                                  # all tests
pytest tests/unit                       # unit only
pytest tests/functional                 # functional only (spins up real-ish clients, see conftest.py)
pytest tests/unit/test_ingestor.py::TestClass::test_name   # single test
pytest --cov=ingestor --cov-report=html # coverage report -> htmlcov/

External deps (Redis, MongoDB, Kafka) must be reachable — via kubectl port-forward, local docker-compose, or cloud services. Config lives in .env (copy from .env.example).

Architecture

Manager-based pipeline, one manager per concern, composed by IngestorManager:

app.py (asyncio loop, signals, Prometheus server)
  -> Ingestor (ingestor.py) — lifecycle: prepare_ingestor() -> loop() -> shutdown()
       -> IngestorManager (managers/ingestor_manager.py) — central coordinator
            -> ResourceManager (managers/resource_manager.py) — Redis slot leases, heartbeats, active-ingestor registry
            -> ServerReader (managers/server_reader.py), one per OPC server — SubscriptionEngine over the shared OpcConnectionPool
               (READ_ENGINE=legacy: OpcManager (managers/opc_manager.py), the rc3 reader kept as plan B until the end of SIENTIAPDE-1974)
            -> OpcConnectionPool (connection/pool.py) + CertProvider (connection/certs.py) — pooled connections, cert from MinIO
            -> DataManager (managers/data_manager.py) — MongoDB persistence + optional Kafka publish

Slot model: OPC tag configs live in Redis under keys like slot:opc_tags:<n>, each holding one or more OPC servers and their tags (see README "OPC Server Configuration" for the JSON shape). A "slot" is the unit of lease/assignment; each ingestor pod leases some number of slots via ResourceManager and only subscribes to the tags in slots it holds.

Main loop (Ingestor.loop() in ingestor.py) each cycle:

1. declare_active() + heartbeat (keeps this pod visible to peers via Redis TTL keys — LEASE_TTL/HEARTBEAT_TTL)
2. Reads current active-ingestor count, lease count, slot count
3. manage_no_slots() — grabs one slot if this pod is idle and slots exist
4. manage_leases() — rebalances: acquires slots if other pods are lacking, drops extras (keeps at most 1 slot per pod when supply is sufficient) — this is the load-balancing algorithm
5. update_slot_config() + check_opc_servers_integrity() — refresh OPC configs, detect stalled connections
6. update_ingestor_manager() — diffs current vs previous managed tags, subscribes new, resubscribes changed, unsubscribes removed

Any change to slot/lease counts should be traced through manage_leases/manage_no_slots — that's where the rebalancing math lives, not in ResourceManager itself (which just does Redis primitives).

ServerReader (SIENTIAPDE-1974, default READ_ENGINE=v2; the legacy OpcManager stays as plan B with READ_ENGINE=legacy — slot v1 only, certificate files from the Gitea clone — until it is unused and the tests pass the same without it) reads one OPC server through a SubscriptionEngine: the connection comes from the shared OpcConnectionPool (also used by NATS writes and gRPC), which fetches the platform certificate from MinIO via CertProvider and uses SecurityPolicyBasic256Sha256 — no certificate files in the repo/image. Slots are parsed by io/slots.py (parse_slot), which accepts slot v2 (names[]) and converts the legacy v1 (topics). datachange_notification fans each value out to every names entry via DataSink. Subscribed connections are pinned in the pool so the idle sweep never drops them. Tracks non_receive_count to detect silently-dead subscriptions (check_cycles / check_opc_listenning); a lost server is shut down (pool connection evicted) and re-initialized on the next loop.

Metrics (ingestor/metrics.py): all Prometheus metrics defined here, always labeled by pod_id. Emitted via SientiaMonitoring.emit_metric(...) (from sientia_do), not the prometheus client directly — new metrics should follow that pattern for consistency with logging/notifications.

Error handling convention: broad except Exception + traceback.print_exc() + notification-handler alert is intentional throughout (see ruff.lint.ignore for BLE001 in pyproject.toml) — this is an always-on service where a single tag/server failure must not kill the pod; failures are surfaced via notifications/metrics instead of raised.

Config

Env vars documented in README ("Configuration" section) and .env.example. Notable ones affecting behavior: LEASE_TTL/HEARTBEAT_TTL (failover speed vs stability), POLL_INTERVAL (loop cadence), EXPORT_TO_KAFKA.

Testing notes

• tests/unit/managers/ mirrors ingestor/managers/ 1:1.
• tests/functional/ exercises more end-to-end paths against conftest.py fixtures.
• Coverage config (pyproject.toml / .coveragerc) excludes ingestor/app.py (thin entrypoint, signal wiring) — don't chase coverage there.
• ruff complexity cap is max-complexity = 15 (mccabe) — factor out branches in manager methods before that.
