# Pydala Codebase Refactoring Plan
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
This document outlines a comprehensive refactoring plan for the Pydala codebase, focusing on improving code quality, reducing complexity, and enhancing maintainability while ensuring full backward compatibility.
5+
6+
## Analysis Summary
7+
8+
The codebase analysis revealed several areas for improvement:
9+
- **Code Quality**: Large blocks of commented code, bare exception clauses
10+
- **Complexity**: Methods with high cyclomatic complexity, duplicate code
11+
- **Type Safety**: Missing type hints, insufficient input validation
12+
- **Maintainability**: Magic numbers, scattered configuration
13+
14+
## Priority 1: Code Cleanup and Bug Fixes
15+
16+
### 1. Remove Commented Code in misc.py
17+
- **Location**: `pydala/helpers/misc.py:15-370`
18+
- **Issue**: ~355 lines of commented code (90% of file)
19+
- **Action**: Remove all commented code blocks
20+
- **Impact**:
21+
- Reduces file size from ~400 lines to ~45 lines
22+
- Improves code readability and navigation
23+
- Eliminates confusion about deprecated functionality
24+
25+
### 2. Fix Critical Bug in catalog.py
26+
- **Location**: `pydala/catalog.py:63-66`
27+
- **Current Code**:
28+
```python
29+
# Update the catalog with itself?
30+
catalog_dict.update(self.to_dict()) # This line is suspicious
31+
```
32+
- **Issue**: Redundant self-update potentially causing data corruption
33+
- **Fix**: Remove or properly document this update logic
34+
35+
### 3. Fix Bare Exception Clause
36+
- **Location**: `pydala/io.py:49`
37+
- **Current Code**:
38+
```python
39+
except Exception:
40+
pass
41+
```
42+
- **Issue**: Masks all errors without logging
43+
- **Fix**:
44+
```python
45+
except (OSError, IOError) as e:
46+
logger.warning(f"Failed to process {file_path}: {e}")
47+
```
48+
49+
## Priority 2: Reduce Complexity
50+
51+
### 4. Simplify _get_sort_by Method
52+
- **Location**: `pydala/table.py:30-93`
53+
- **Issue**: 63-line method with high cyclomatic complexity
54+
- **Action**: Extract helper functions:
55+
- `_parse_string_sort(value: str) -> SortKey`
56+
- `_parse_callable_sort(value: Callable) -> SortKey`
57+
- `_validate_sort_key(key: SortKey) -> None`
58+
- **Benefits**:
59+
- Improves testability
60+
- Reduces cognitive complexity
61+
- Enables better error messages
62+
63+
### 5. Remove Duplicate Scanner Method
64+
- **Location**: `pydala/table.py`
65+
- **Issue**: `to_scanner()` and `scanner()` are identical (lines 748-755, 757-764)
66+
- **Action**:
67+
- Keep `scanner()` as primary method
68+
- Mark `to_scanner()` as deprecated with warning
69+
- Update documentation
70+
71+
### 6. Extract Scanner Parameters
72+
- **Issue**: Scanner configuration duplicated across 10+ methods
73+
- **Action**: Create `ScannerConfig` dataclass:
74+
```python
75+
@dataclass
76+
class ScannerConfig:
77+
batch_size: int = 131072
78+
buffer_size: int = 65536
79+
prefetch: int = 2
80+
num_threads: int = 4
81+
```
82+
- **Files to Update**: `table.py`, `dataset.py`, `scanner.py`
83+
- **Benefits**:
84+
- Centralized configuration
85+
- Easier parameter management
86+
- Consistent defaults across the codebase
87+
88+
## Priority 3: Improve Type Safety
89+
90+
### 7. Add Type Hints
91+
- **Focus Areas**:
92+
- All public methods in core modules
93+
- Complex methods in `table.py`, `dataset.py`
94+
- Helper functions in `misc.py`
95+
- **Example**:
96+
```python
97+
def head(
98+
self,
99+
n: int = 5,
100+
columns: Optional[List[str]] = None
101+
) -> "Table":
102+
...
103+
```
104+
105+
### 8. Add Input Validation
106+
- **Approach**:
107+
- Add parameter validation at public API boundaries
108+
- Use clear, descriptive error messages
109+
- Validate types, ranges, and constraints
110+
- **Example**:
111+
```python
112+
if not isinstance(n, int) or n < 0:
113+
raise ValueError("n must be a non-negative integer")
114+
```
115+
116+
## Priority 4: Maintainability Improvements
117+
118+
### 9. Create Constants File
119+
- **New File**: `pydala/constants.py`
120+
- **Content**:
121+
```python
122+
# Performance tuning
123+
DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE = 131072
124+
DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE = 65536
125+
DEFAULT_PREFETCH_COUNT = 2
126+
DEFAULT_THREAD_COUNT = 4
127+
128+
# Validation
129+
MAX_COLUMN_NAME_LENGTH = 255
130+
MIN_PARTITION_SIZE = 1024
131+
```
132+
- **Benefits**:
133+
- Single source of truth
134+
- Easier tuning
135+
- Better documentation
136+
137+
### 10. Fix Test Infrastructure
138+
- **Location**: `tests/test_table.py`
139+
- **Issues**:
140+
- Missing imports
141+
- Incomplete test coverage
142+
- Outdated test cases
143+
- **Action**:
144+
- Fix import statements
145+
- Add tests for refactored methods
146+
- Ensure 90%+ code coverage
147+
148+
