⚡ Bolt: Optimize dataset validation and secret scrubbing - #461
Conversation
This PR implements high-impact string processing optimizations in `scripts/02_validate_clean.py` and cleans up redundant code in `heidi_engine/telemetry.py`. Key changes: - Optimized `fuzzy_hash` by replacing `re.sub` with `"".join(text.split())` for faster whitespace removal. - Optimized `detect_secrets` with pre-compiled regex patterns and a keyword-based fast-path (including high-entropy detection). - Removed a redundant and broken cache check block in `heidi_engine/telemetry.py:get_state`. Performance Impact: - `fuzzy_hash`: ~4.5x faster whitespace removal. - `detect_secrets`: ~2.2x speedup on clean data samples. - Pipeline efficiency improved for large datasets.

Code Review
This pull request introduces several performance optimizations, including pre-compiling regex patterns, implementing a keyword-based fast-path for secret detection, and optimizing whitespace removal in scripts/02_validate_clean.py, as well as removing a state cache check in heidi_engine/telemetry.py. Feedback was provided regarding the fast-path regex pattern [\w+/]{40,}, which matches Unicode alphanumeric characters by default in Python 3 and can cause performance regressions on non-English datasets; restricting this to ASCII alphanumeric characters was suggested.

In Python 3, \w matches Unicode alphanumeric characters by default. For non-English datasets (especially CJK languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean where words are not separated by spaces), a single continuous string of text can easily exceed 40 characters. This causes [\w+/]{40,} to match clean non-English text, completely bypassing the fast-path optimization and falling back to the expensive regex checks. Restricting the high-entropy indicator to ASCII alphanumeric characters ([a-zA-Z0-9_+/]{40,}) prevents this performance regression on non-English datasets.

💡 What: Optimized string processing and secret detection in the validation pipeline.
🎯 Why:
re.suband uncompiled regex in loops were causing unnecessary CPU overhead during dataset cleaning.📊 Impact:
fuzzy_hashis ~4.5x faster;detect_secretsis ~2.2x faster for the majority of clean samples.🔬 Measurement: Verified using
