Introduce opendataloader and PaddleOCR-VL parser engines with tenant-level
settings UI, replace liteparse, and harden Excel/PPT/Markdown parsing.
Optional odl-hybrid sidecar stays local-build only and is excluded from
default dev-start and full profiles.
Large scanned PDFs (hundreds of pages) were slow and fragile end-to-end.
This change addresses the parse, transport, and task-scheduling layers:
docreader (parse + transport):
- Parallelize per-page scanned rendering across processes (forkserver/fork),
with serial fallback. ~4-7x faster on large scanned PDFs; pdfium is not
thread-safe so we fan out across processes. Configurable via
DOCREADER_PDF_RENDER_PARALLELISM.
- Add server-streaming ReadStream RPC: emit one meta frame then one frame per
image, so documents with many page images are no longer capped by the unary
gRPC message-size limit (a 874-page PDF produced ~193MiB of images, far over
the 50MB cap) and memory is bounded on both ends. Unary Read is kept for
backward compatibility; the Go production reader switches to ReadStream.
VLM:
- Make the VLM HTTP timeout configurable (VLM_HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS) and raise
the default 90s -> 180s so dense scanned-page OCR does not time out with
"context deadline exceeded".
Async task queues:
- Isolate high-volume, model-heavy fan-out tasks into dedicated asynq queues so
a single large document cannot saturate the shared worker pool and block
user-facing document parsing:
image:multimodal -> "multimodal"
chunk:extract -> "graph"
question:generation -> "question"
- Register the new queues in the server weight map and the cancel inspector's
scanned-queue set (so cancelling a knowledge still purges its pending tasks).
- Introduced PDFScannedParser as a fallback parser for scanned PDFs that converts pages into images for OCR processing.
- Updated PDFParser to include PDFScannedParser in the parsing chain, enhancing the document parsing capabilities for scanned content.
- Improved logging for better error tracking during PDF parsing operations.
- Added a new `.env.lite.example` file for the Lite version, providing a minimal configuration template.
- Updated `.env.example` to remove deprecated variables and include new Docreader settings.
- Enhanced Docker configurations to support the Lite version, including a new Dockerfile for the Docreader service.
- Introduced a Makefile target for building and running the Lite version, along with packaging capabilities.
- Created GitHub workflows for building and releasing Lite binaries, including Homebrew formula support.
- Implemented a new service file for managing the Lite version as a system service.
This update enables a streamlined, single-binary deployment of WeKnora, reducing external dependencies and simplifying setup.
- Add docstrings and inline comments for key functions and complex logic
- Unify comment style, eliminate magic numbers and ambiguous variable names
- No functional changes, only improve maintainability
