Resolved issue with upsert of PG entity and relation

[OxidBurn]

Description

This PR complements PR #1120 "fix: correct chunk_ids as array type and remove incorrect filepath type conversion" with a few additional improvements

Related Issues

Addresses the "entity and relation upsert error" as well as missing "metadata" key errors encountered during the insertion of entities and relationships into the PostgreSQL database.

Changes Made

• Fixed SQL template for entity upsert by adding CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for update_time column
• Added conditional check for metadata and file_path keys in graph node extraction
• Fixed parameter type casting for content_vector in relationship insertion query
• Ensured proper alignment between SQL parameter placeholders and data dictionary values

Checklist

• Changes tested locally
• Code reviewed
• Documentation updated (if necessary)
• Unit tests added (if applicable)

Additional Notes

The fix ensures data integrity during entity and relationship extraction operations by resolving SQL syntax errors that were preventing proper document processing.

This fix introduces another issue: when there are too many associated chunks, the chunk_id exceeds the limit. Do you have any good solutions for this?

This is a VARCHAR so 255 unique characters. The code uses a md5 hash which is only 32 VARCHAR wide. It is unlikely that there will ever be such a large ID.

In PostgreSQL, using a join table is an efficient way to store large amounts of related data. By creating an intermediary table with foreign keys, you can establish one-to-many or many-to-many relationships between the main table and associated data, overcoming the 1 GB array limit. Join tables provide better query performance and data management capabilities, with flexible indexing options that optimize search, insert, and update operations. This approach is particularly suitable for scenarios where you need to store large quantities of data like "chunk-ecc952703fbaabc97fee8f328ae8de56"

It was mentioned in the issue 1088.

I understand the difference now. I'm not very familiar with PostgreSQL—sorry about that!

Previously, the field in the PostgreSQL table was chunk_id. Modifying it this way will make the old data unavailable. Is there a way to add a data migration to transfer the old data to the new table?

[LarFii]

In the PR 1138, I have removed the metadata-related code (as it had no actual effect).

[OxidBurn]

Perfect, thank you for that update.

To avoid changing the table structure, could we consider modifying chunk_ids in the upsert to correspond to chunk_id? Since chunk_id is currently concatenated directly, the TEXT type should be sufficient.

I reviewed the Postgres solution again and here are my thoughts:

• The current code (main branch) already uses chunk_ids as an array in both insertion logic and query logic
• The SQL templates specifically cast the values to varchar[] with $6::varchar[] syntax
• The JOIN conditions in queries use the PostgreSQL ANY operator: c.chunk_id = ANY(r.chunk_ids)
• The data processing in _upsert_entities and _upsert_relationships splits values into arrays

Schema vs. Implementation Mismatch:
- In case the schema has chunk_id TEXT NULL, but the code is working with arrays, there's a fundamental mismatch

To use chunk_ids VARCHAR(255)[] NULL is correct and aligns the schema with the actual code usage
- It makes the database reflect what the code is actually doing
- There should be no migration issues as long as:
1. Existing data in the database is already being stored in array format
2. The name used in code consistently matches the name used in the schema

Conclusions:
The change from chunk_id TEXT NULL to chunk_ids VARCHAR(255)[] NULL is actually fixing a schema-code mismatch
Without this change, the code would be treating a text field as an array, which is incorrect
This is not a breaking change if the code was already working with arrays (as it appears to be)
Performance will actually be better with proper array types vs. implicit casting

Hey, I was just wondering—what if we use a join table to store the relations between entities and chunks instead of a chunk_ids column?

I like your suggestion.
It provided us with flexibility and potential performance boosts since we no longer need to keep this data in the same table.

I have merged PR1138. I think file_path can also be synchronized as an array since an entity may be associated with multiple file_paths.

[OxidBurn]

The PR is no longer relevant since we now have both fixes. I can release it later after refactoring with separators.
