From 36d916ffac6d1fc204414238599eae537d6e3f32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "codeflash-ai[bot]" <148906541+codeflash-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2025 23:18:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize _LegacyExperimentService._execution_to_column_named_metadata The optimization replaces the expensive `".".join([metadata_type, key])` string operation with simple string concatenation using the `+` operator. **Key changes:** - Pre-computes `metadata_type_dot = metadata_type + '.'` once outside the loop instead of creating a list and joining it for every key - Uses direct concatenation `metadata_type_dot + key` instead of `".".join([metadata_type, key])` **Why this is faster:** - `str.join()` has overhead for creating a temporary list `[metadata_type, key]` and then iterating through it to build the final string - Simple string concatenation with `+` is a more direct operation that avoids the list creation and iteration overhead - Pre-computing the dot-appended metadata type eliminates redundant string operations in the loop **Performance gains:** The optimization shows consistent 6-30% speedups across test cases, with the largest gains (17-30%) appearing in scenarios with many keys where the loop runs frequently. The line profiler shows the critical line (string concatenation) improved from 36.8% to 32.3% of total runtime, with overall function time reduced by ~10%. Small metadata collections (empty dicts) show slight regressions due to the overhead of pre-computing the string, but all meaningful workloads benefit significantly. --- google/cloud/aiplatform/metadata/metadata.py | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/google/cloud/aiplatform/metadata/metadata.py b/google/cloud/aiplatform/metadata/metadata.py index ebe1407776..1c71beb6c0 100644 --- a/google/cloud/aiplatform/metadata/metadata.py +++ b/google/cloud/aiplatform/metadata/metadata.py @@ -209,10 +209,12 @@ def _execution_to_column_named_metadata( Dict of custom properties with keys mapped to column names """ column_key_to_value = {} + metadata_type_dot = metadata_type + "." + for key, value in metadata.items(): if filter_prefix and key.startswith(filter_prefix): key = key[len(filter_prefix) :] - column_key_to_value[".".join([metadata_type, key])] = value + column_key_to_value[metadata_type_dot + key] = value return column_key_to_value
