41
+ Stop vector DB metadata limit errors before upsert.
42
+
43
+ Website: <https://achal13jain.github.io/vectormeta/>
44
+
45
+ `vectormeta` is a Python CLI package for detecting and fixing oversized metadata in
46
+ vector database records. It scans JSON or JSONL vector records, reports the largest
47
+ metadata fields, and can move heavy content fields into local JSON sidecar files while
48
+ leaving clean filterable metadata in the vector database payload.
49
+
50
+ The project is designed for developers preparing records for Pinecone, Chroma, Qdrant,
51
+ Weaviate, or a custom metadata policy. Pinecone is the clearest strict-limit target in
52
+ the MVP. Other targets use conservative advisory limits that should be adjusted for each
53
+ deployment.
54
+
55
+ ## Why This Exists
56
+
57
+ Vector database metadata should usually stay small and filterable:
58
+
59
+ - `source`
60
+ - `page`
61
+ - `section`
62
+ - `doc_id`
63
+ - `chunk_id`
64
+ - `tags`
65
+ - `language`
66
+
67
+ Large payloads such as full chunk text, raw HTML, Markdown, OCR text, summaries, tables,
68
+ or full documents can push records over service metadata limits and make upserts fail.
69
+ `vectormeta` catches that problem before upload and can rewrite records into a safer
70
+ shape:
71
+
72
+ ```text
73
+ vector record metadata -> small filterable fields + content_ref
74
+ sidecar JSON file -> large text, HTML, tables, summaries, payloads
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ ## Features
78
+
79
+ - Scan JSON arrays and newline-delimited JSON records.
80
+ - Measure metadata using compact UTF-8 JSON bytes.
81
+ - Report oversized records, largest fields, byte counts, KB counts, and suggested moves.
82
+ - Exit with code `1` when oversized records are found, which makes scans useful in CI.
83
+ - Move heavy metadata fields into sidecar JSON files.
84
+ - Preserve unknown record fields and original record order.
85
+ - Sanitize sidecar filenames derived from record IDs.
86
+ - Protect output files and sidecars from accidental overwrite.
87
+ - Hydrate records back from sidecar references for debugging and migrations.
88
+ - Keep core logic independent from Typer and Rich so it can be tested and reused.
89
+
90
+ ## Tech Stack
91
+
92
+ - Python 3.10+
93
+ - Typer for the CLI
94
+ - Rich for human-readable terminal reports
95
+ - Pydantic for YAML config validation
96
+ - PyYAML for config loading
97
+ - Pytest for tests
98
+ - Ruff for linting and formatting
99
+ - Mypy for strict type checks
100
+ - Setuptools and `python -m build` for packaging
101
+
102
+ ## Installation
103
+
104
+ Clone and install locally:
105
+
106
+ ```bash
107
+ git clone https://github.com/Achal13jain/vectormeta.git
108
+ cd vectormeta
109
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ Check the CLI:
113
+
114
+ ```bash
115
+ vectormeta --help
116
+ vectormeta --version
117
+ python -m vectormeta --help
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ After the package is published to PyPI, the intended install command is:
121
+
122
+ ```bash
123
+ pip install vectormeta
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ ## Input Format
127
+
128
+ JSON array:
129
+
130
+ ```json
131
+ [
132
+ {
133
+ "id": "doc_1_chunk_1",
134
+ "values": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3],
135
+ "metadata": {
136
+ "source": "paper.pdf",
137
+ "page": 1,
138
+ "chunk_text": "large text..."
139
+ }
140
+ }
141
+ ]
142
+ ```
143
+
144
+ JSONL:
145
+
146
+ ```jsonl
147
+ {"id":"doc_1","values":[0.1],"metadata":{"text":"large text..."}}
148
+ {"id":"doc_2","values":[0.2],"metadata":{"text":"large text..."}}
149
+ ```
150
+
151
+ Each record must contain:
152
+
153
+ - `id` or `_id`
154
+ - `metadata` as a JSON object
155
+
156
+ Vector fields such as `values`, `vector`, or `embedding` are preserved but not deeply
157
+ validated by the MVP.
158
+
159
+ ## Quickstart
160
+
161
+ Scan the included oversized Pinecone example:
162
+
163
+ ```bash
164
+ vectormeta scan examples/oversized_pinecone_records.json --target pinecone --no-fail
165
+ ```
166
+
167
+ Fix the records:
168
+
169
+ ```bash
170
+ vectormeta fix examples/oversized_pinecone_records.json \
171
+ --target pinecone \
172
+ --sidecar examples/sidecar \
173
+ --out examples/pinecone_ready.json \
174
+ --overwrite
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ Verify the cleaned file now fits the Pinecone-sized policy:
178
+
179
+ ```bash
180
+ vectormeta scan examples/pinecone_ready.json --target pinecone --no-fail
181
+ ```
182
+
183
+ Hydrate records for local inspection:
184
+
185
+ ```bash
186
+ vectormeta hydrate examples/pinecone_ready.json \
187
+ --sidecar examples/sidecar \
188
+ --out examples/hydrated.json \
189
+ --overwrite
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ ## Commands
193
+
194
+ ### Scan
195
+
196
+ ```bash
197
+ vectormeta scan chunks.json --target pinecone
198
+ ```
199
+
200
+ Useful options:
201
+
202
+ - `--target pinecone|chroma|qdrant|weaviate|custom`
203
+ - `--limit-kb <number>` for custom or overridden limits
204
+ - `--top <number>` for the largest oversized records to show
205
+ - `--format table|json`
206
+ - `--no-fail` to exit `0` even when oversized records are found
207
+
208
+ Exit codes:
209
+
210
+ - `0`: all records fit, or `--no-fail` was passed
211
+ - `1`: oversized records were found
212
+ - `2`: expected user-facing input, config, target, or overwrite error
213
+
214
+ ### Fix
215
+
216
+ ```bash
217
+ vectormeta fix chunks.json --target pinecone --sidecar ./sidecar --out pinecone_ready.json
218
+ ```
219
+
220
+ Move explicit fields:
221
+
222
+ ```bash
223
+ vectormeta fix chunks.json \
224
+ --target pinecone \
225
+ --move-fields chunk_text,raw_html,summary \
226
+ --keep-fields source,page,section,doc_id,chunk_id \
227
+ --content-ref-field content_ref \
228
+ --sidecar ./sidecar \
229
+ --out pinecone_ready.json
230
+ ```
231
+
232
+ Preview without writing:
233
+
234
+ ```bash
235
+ vectormeta fix chunks.json --target pinecone --sidecar ./sidecar --out ready.json --dry-run
236
+ ```
237
+
238
+ `fix` does not overwrite files unless `--overwrite` is passed.
239
+
240
+ If your input metadata already contains `content_ref`, choose another reference field:
241
+
242
+ ```bash
243
+ vectormeta fix chunks.json \
244
+ --target pinecone \
245
+ --content-ref-field vectormeta_content_ref \
246
+ --sidecar ./sidecar \
247
+ --out pinecone_ready.json
248
+ ```
249
+
250
+ ### Hydrate
251
+
252
+ ```bash
253
+ vectormeta hydrate pinecone_ready.json --sidecar ./sidecar --out hydrated.json
254
+ ```
255
+
256
+ Hydrate sidecar content into a separate record field:
257
+
258
+ ```bash
259
+ vectormeta hydrate pinecone_ready.json \
260
+ --sidecar ./sidecar \
261
+ --mode content_field \
262
+ --content-field payload \
263
+ --out hydrated.json
264
+ ```
265
+
266
+ ### Limits
267
+
268
+ ```bash
269
+ vectormeta limits
270
+ ```
271
+
272
+ Current MVP defaults:
273
+
274
+ | Target | Default | Meaning |
275
+ | --- | ---: | --- |
276
+ | `pinecone` | 40 KB | Primary strict-limit target for this MVP |
277
+ | `chroma` | 256 KB | Advisory local/configurable policy |
278
+ | `qdrant` | 64 KB | Conservative advisory policy |
279
+ | `weaviate` | 64 KB | Conservative advisory policy |
280
+ | `custom` | none | Requires `--limit-kb` |
281
+
282
+ Limits and provider behavior can change. Verify official vector database documentation
283
+ before treating any preset as a production guarantee.
284
+
285
+ ## How Metadata Reduction Works
286
+
287
+ `vectormeta` sizes metadata exactly as compact UTF-8 JSON:
288
+
289
+ ```python
290
+ json.dumps(metadata, ensure_ascii=False, separators=(",", ":")).encode("utf-8")
291
+ ```
292
+
293
+ The fixer reduces metadata in this order:
294
+
295
+ 1. Move explicit `--move-fields`, if provided.
296
+ 2. Otherwise move known heavy fields such as `text`, `chunk_text`, `raw_html`,
297
+ `markdown`, `summary`, `tables`, and `ocr_text`.
298
+ 3. If metadata is still above the limit, move the largest non-keep fields one at a
299
+ time until the record fits.
300
+ 4. Keep fields such as `source`, `page`, `doc_id`, and `tags` are preserved unless the
301
+ record cannot fit without moving them.
302
+ 5. When fields are moved, metadata receives a `content_ref`, and moved fields are
303
+ written to a sidecar JSON payload.
304
+
305
+ The logic is covered by tests for Unicode byte sizing, nested metadata sizing,
306
+ JSON/JSONL input, fixer output, sidecar overwrite protection, hydration, and CLI exit
307
+ codes. See [docs/metadata-reduction.md](docs/metadata-reduction.md).
308
+
309
+ ## Local Verification
310
+
311
+ Run the same checks used in CI:
312
+
313
+ ```bash
314
+ python -m pytest
315
+ ruff check .
316
+ ruff format --check .
317
+ mypy vectormeta
318
+ python -m build
319
+ ```
320
+
321
+ Run the acceptance workflow:
322
+
323
+ ```bash
324
+ vectormeta scan examples/oversized_pinecone_records.json --target pinecone --no-fail
325
+ vectormeta fix examples/oversized_pinecone_records.json --target pinecone --sidecar examples/sidecar --out examples/pinecone_ready.json --overwrite
326
+ vectormeta scan examples/pinecone_ready.json --target pinecone --no-fail
327
+ vectormeta hydrate examples/pinecone_ready.json --sidecar examples/sidecar --out examples/hydrated.json --overwrite
328
+ ```
329
+
330
+ Expected result:
331
+
332
+ - The original example reports one oversized record.
333
+ - The fixed output reports zero oversized records.
334
+ - Sidecar files are created under `examples/sidecar`.
335
+ - Hydration restores moved fields for inspection.

345
+
346
+ ## Limitations
347
+
348
+ - Local JSON sidecars only. Keep the cleaned output file and sidecar directory together;
349
+ the MVP does not provide an atomic database-backed sidecar store.
350
+ - Sidecars are one file per changed record. The MVP does not deduplicate repeated fields
351
+ such as shared `raw_html` across chunks from the same document.
352
+ - Input support is JSON arrays and JSONL records, but files are currently read into
353
+ memory. Streaming JSONL scan/fix is planned for larger embedding datasets.
354
+ - Vector values are preserved but not deeply validated.
355
+ - Provider-specific metadata schemas and value types are not fully validated. For
356
+ example, Pinecone has metadata format rules beyond byte size.
357
+ - Non-Pinecone target limits are conservative advisory defaults, not vendor claims.
358
+ - The fixer is policy-based; review cleaned outputs before production ingestion.
359
+
360
+ ## Roadmap
361
+
362
+ Planned ideas include:
363
+
364
+ - SQLite sidecar backend
365
+ - Content-addressed sidecar deduplication
366
+ - Streaming JSONL scan/fix
367
+ - S3 sidecar backend
368
+ - LangChain `Document` adapter
369
+ - LlamaIndex `Node` adapter
370
+ - Pinecone upsert wrapper
371
+ - GitHub Action for metadata checks
372
+ - HTML report output
