Summary of ChangesHello @liugddx, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request significantly enhances the stability and data integrity of metadata operations within the system. It introduces mechanisms to ensure proper database transaction rollbacks in the event of failures, preventing inconsistent states. Additionally, it improves the handling of metadata fields by safely resolving data source types and providing a fallback for potentially missing uploader information, thereby making the system more resilient to unexpected data conditions.

Pull Request Overview
This PR enhances the metadata service by adding proper exception handling with database rollbacks and improving data source type handling. The changes prevent database inconsistencies when metadata operations fail and handle edge cases for missing or unknown data source types.
Key Changes:
- Added database rollback calls in exception handlers across metadata operations to ensure transaction consistency
- Introduced
get_safe_data_source_value()function to handle unknown data source types gracefully - Added fallback value "Unknown" for cases where uploader might be None

The function accesses the enum using bracket notation which will raise KeyError if the key doesn't exist, but the docstring states it should return the original value in that case. The try-except block catches KeyError correctly, but line 36 should use .get() method or the current approach is fine. However, the actual issue is that MetadataDataSource[data_source_type] returns an enum member, and calling .value on it is correct. But since this is using bracket notation on an Enum class (not a dict), this is actually correct behavior for enum member access. The exception handling is appropriate.

[nitpick] Using a hardcoded string 'Unknown' for missing uploader data may cause issues with data consistency and internationalization. Consider defining this as a constant (e.g., UNKNOWN_UPLOADER = 'Unknown') at the module level or in a constants file to ensure consistency across the codebase and easier maintenance.

Code Review
This pull request introduces crucial fixes to enhance the reliability and robustness of metadata operations. The primary improvement is ensuring database transactions are rolled back upon exceptions in metadata_service, which prevents data inconsistency. The changes also correctly handle potential None values for uploaders and use a safe method for accessing data source types to avoid KeyError exceptions. Additionally, a missing data source type has been added to the MetadataDataSource enumeration. The code is well-structured, and the fixes are valuable. I've added one suggestion to further improve transaction atomicity in update_documents_metadata by consolidating multiple commits into a single one.

Code Review
This pull request introduces several important fixes to enhance robustness and error handling, particularly within the metadata_service. The key changes include ensuring database rollbacks on exceptions, safely handling potentially missing data, and expanding the MetadataDataSource enumeration. The addition of db.session.rollback() in exception handlers is a crucial improvement for maintaining data integrity. While the changes are positive, I've identified a bug in the name uniqueness check, a potential risk with breaking API contract changes, and an opportunity to further improve the batch update logic for better resilience. My detailed comments are below.

The return types of update_metadata_name and delete_metadata have been changed to return ... | None instead of raising a ValueError when an item is not found. This is a breaking change to their contracts. It's crucial that all callers are updated to handle the None return value to prevent TypeError or other unexpected behavior. This pull request does not seem to include updates to the call sites, which is risky.

The update_documents_metadata function processes a batch of metadata updates. Inside the loop, if an exception occurs during the update of a single document's metadata, the transaction for that document is rolled back, and the exception is re-raised, which terminates the entire batch operation. This is a "fail-fast" strategy.
For a more robust batch operation, you might consider a strategy where the failure of one document does not stop the processing of others. You could collect the errors for each failed document and report them all at the end, allowing successful updates to proceed.

Code Review
This pull request introduces several important fixes for the metadata service. The primary improvement is ensuring database transactions are rolled back on exceptions, which is critical for data integrity. The changes are well-implemented across multiple methods. Additionally, the PR enhances robustness by safely handling potentially missing data sources and None values for uploader names. The batch update logic has also been improved to be more resilient to individual document failures. I've added a couple of suggestions for future refactoring to further improve maintainability.

The pattern of try...except...finally for database transactions and Redis locks is repeated in update_metadata_name, delete_metadata, enable_built_in_field, disable_built_in_field, and update_documents_metadata. This code duplication can make future maintenance difficult.
To adhere to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle, you could abstract this pattern into a reusable context manager. This would make the intent of the code clearer and reduce the chance of errors.
Here's an example of how it could look:
from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def managed_transaction(lock_key: str, error_message: str):
try:
yield
db.session.commit()
except Exception:
db.session.rollback()
logger.exception(error_message)
raise
finally:
if redis_client.get(lock_key):
redis_client.delete(lock_key)Using this, the update_metadata_name method would be simplified, improving readability.

| logger.warning("Failed to get document %s: %s", operation.document_id, str(e)) | ||
| continue |

Catching a broad Exception and then continuing the loop can mask serious underlying problems. For instance, if the database connection is lost, this will log a warning for every document in the batch and continue, instead of failing fast. It's better to catch more specific, expected exceptions for a single-item failure and let unexpected exceptions (like database connection errors) propagate to the outer except block. This would correctly halt the entire batch operation on a fatal error, which is the safer default behavior.
