In-depth Review of AIO Stores and Wrappers ✓

I've completed a comprehensive line-by-line code review of all 14 stores and 16 wrappers in the aio branch for the 0.3.0 release.

Recommendation

Address 10 critical/high-severity issues before 0.3.0 release. The review identified 49 total issues across stores and wrappers. Three critical bugs could cause data loss or consistency problems in production environments. Priority should be given to fixing the passthrough cache race condition, statistics wrapper falsiness bug, and DynamoDB TTL crash.

Summary Statistics

Stores Review:

14 stores analyzed: 49 issues found
1 Critical | 2 High | 21 Medium | 5 Low
Most critical: DynamoDB TTL timestamp crash (line 206-209)

Wrappers Review:

16 wrappers analyzed: 20 issues found
3 Critical | 7 High | 6 Medium | 4 Low
Most critical: Passthrough Cache race condition (lines 133, 146, 152, 158)

Total: 69 issues (4 Critical, 9 High, 27 Medium, 9 Low)

Critical Issues (Must Fix Before 0.3.0)

1. DynamoDB Store - TTL Timestamp Crash

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/stores/dynamodb/store.py:206-209
Severity: CRITICAL
Issue: Code assumes managed_entry.created_at is always present when calculating TTL timestamp. If created_at is None, crashes with AttributeError.

# Current code (WRONG):
ttl_timestamp = int(managed_entry.created_at.timestamp() + managed_entry.ttl)

# Fix:
if managed_entry.ttl is not None and managed_entry.created_at:
    ttl_timestamp = int(managed_entry.created_at.timestamp() + managed_entry.ttl)

2. Passthrough Cache Wrapper - Race Condition

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/wrappers/passthrough_cache/wrapper.py:133,146,152,158
Severity: CRITICAL
Issue: Cache is deleted BEFORE primary store is updated. If primary operation fails, cache is invalidated but write never happened, causing data inconsistency.

# Current code (WRONG):
await self.cache_key_value.delete(collection=collection, key=key)
await self.primary_key_value.put(collection=collection, key=key, value=value, ttl=ttl)

# Fix - delete cache AFTER successful primary write:
await self.primary_key_value.put(collection=collection, key=key, value=value, ttl=ttl)
await self.cache_key_value.delete(collection=collection, key=key)

3. Statistics Wrapper - Falsiness Bug

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/wrappers/statistics/wrapper.py:116,130
Severity: CRITICAL
Issue: Uses if value: check which treats empty dicts {} as falsy, causing incorrect miss statistics for empty dictionary values.

# Current code (WRONG):
if value := await self.key_value.get(collection=collection, key=key):

# Fix - check for None explicitly:
value = await self.key_value.get(collection=collection, key=key)
if value is not None:

4. TTL Clamp Wrapper - Incomplete Implementation

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/wrappers/ttl_clamp/wrapper.py:1-60
Severity: CRITICAL
Issue: Only implements put methods but lacks documentation about read method behavior. Missing clarity on API surface.
Fix: Document that wrapper only affects write operations, or implement explicit override methods for reads.

High Severity Issues (Recommended for 0.3.0)

5. DynamoDB Store - Missing Bulk Operations

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/stores/dynamodb/store.py
Severity: HIGH
Issue: No implementation of _get_managed_entries(), _put_managed_entries(), _delete_managed_entries(). Bulk operations fall back to inefficient single-item loops.
Impact: Poor performance and increased AWS costs for bulk operations.
Fix: Implement using batch_get_item() and batch_write_item() APIs.

6. DynamoDB Store - Client Initialization Race

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/stores/dynamodb/store.py:101-113
Severity: HIGH
Issue: _client set to None initially; _connected_client property can raise ValueError if setup() not called before operations.
Fix: Add explicit setup checks or ensure setup() always called before operations.

7. Memory Store - Collection Access Race Condition

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/stores/memory/store.py:158-184
Severity: HIGH
Issue: Direct access to self._cache[collection] without checking existence. Raises KeyError if setup_collection() not called.
Fix: Use self._cache.get(collection) with None check.

8. Encryption Wrapper - Wrong Exception Type

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/wrappers/encryption/base.py:72
Severity: HIGH
Issue: Catches json.JSONDecodeError during json.dumps(), but dumps() raises TypeError, not JSONDecodeError.
Fix: Change to except TypeError as e: since JSONDecodeError is only from loads().

9. Limit Size Wrapper - Empty List Edge Case

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/wrappers/limit_size/wrapper.py:99-104
Severity: HIGH
Issue: If all values filtered due to size limits with raise_on_too_large=False, calls underlying store with empty lists.
Fix: Add guard: if filtered_keys: await self.key_value.put_many(...)

10. Routing Wrapper - Missing super().init()

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/wrappers/routing/wrapper.py:36-49
Severity: HIGH
Issue: Doesn't call super().__init__(), violating initialization pattern.
Fix: Add super().__init__() call.

11. Fernet Encryption - Fragile Closure Reference

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/wrappers/encryption/fernet.py:78
Severity: HIGH
Issue: Closure references self.encryption_version before parent __init__ called. Works now but fragile.
Fix: Pass encryption_version as closure parameter.

12. Prefix Keys Wrapper - Type Annotation Inconsistency

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/wrappers/prefix_keys/wrapper.py:38,48,65,75
Severity: HIGH
Issue: Uses Sequence[str] type hint but creates list[str] instances.
Fix: Change annotations to list[str].

13. Single Collection Wrapper - Dead Code

File: key-value/key-value-aio/src/key_value/aio/wrappers/single_collection/wrapper.py:36-37
Severity: HIGH
Issue: _unprefix_key() method defined but never used.
Fix: Remove unused method or implement missing functionality.
