# CLAUDE_RUST.md - UK Temperature Data Processing Project (Rust Implementation)


## Project Overview

You are helping develop a high-performance Rust application to process UK temperature data from text files and convert them into read-efficient Parquet files. This is a Rust rewrite of an existing Python implementation, focusing on performance, memory efficiency, and concurrent processing while maintaining data integrity checks throughout the pipeline.

## Performance Goals

- **2-5x faster processing** compared to Python implementation
- **50-70% lower memory usage** through zero-copy operations where possible
- **Fearless concurrency** using Rust's ownership model for parallel processing
- **Single binary distribution** with no runtime dependencies

## Data Structure (Same as Python version)

The source data is organized in three folders:
- `/data/uk_temp_min/` - Daily minimum temperatures
- `/data/uk_temp_max/` - Daily maximum temperatures  
- `/data/uk_temp_avg/` - Daily average temperatures

Each folder contains:
- `elements.txt` - metadata about elements with identifiers `ELEID`
- `metadata.txt` - metadata about the measurement stations including id, name, and lat/lon
- `sources.txt` - metadata about the measurement stations
- `stations.txt` - metadata about the measurement stations
- individual txt files containing the temperature data

## Core Rust Dependencies


### Essential Crates

## Key Rust Implementation Guidelines


### Memory Management Strategy

1. **Zero-copy parsing**: Use `&str` slices instead of `String` where possible
2. **Streaming processing**: Process data in chunks to control memory usage
3. **Memory mapping**: Use `memmap2` for large files to reduce I/O overhead
4. **Arena allocation**: Consider using typed-arena for temporary allocations

### Concurrency Model

1. **Rayon for CPU-bound work**: Parallel station processing
2. **Tokio for I/O-bound work**: Async file reading and writing
3. **Crossbeam channels**: Communication between processing stages
4. **Work-stealing**: Automatic load balancing across threads

### Error Handling

```rust
use thiserror::Error;

#[derive(Error, Debug)]

pub enum ProcessingError {
    #[error("File I/O error: {0}")]
    Io(#[from] std::io::Error),
    
    #[error("CSV parsing error: {0}")]
    Csv(#[from] csv::Error),
    
    #[error("Date parsing error: {0}")]
    DateParse(#[from] chrono::ParseError),
    
    #[error("Temperature validation error: {message}")]
    TemperatureValidation { message: String },
    
    #[error("Station {station_id} not found")]
    StationNotFound { station_id: u32 },
    
    #[error("Parquet write error: {0}")]
    Parquet(#[from] parquet::errors::ParquetError),
}
```

### Data Models (with Serde)

```rust
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use chrono::NaiveDate;
use validator::Validate;

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize, Validate)]

pub struct StationMetadata {
    pub staid: u32,
    #[validate(length(min = 1))]
    pub name: String,
    pub country: String,
    #[validate(range(min = -90.0, max = 90.0))]
    pub latitude: f64,
    #[validate(range(min = -180.0, max = 180.0))]
    pub longitude: f64,
    pub elevation: Option<i32>,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]

pub struct TemperatureRecord {
    pub staid: u32,
    pub souid: u32,
    pub date: NaiveDate,
    pub temperature: f32,
    pub quality_flag: u8,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize, Validate)]

pub struct ConsolidatedRecord {
    pub station_id: u32,
    pub station_name: String,
    pub date: NaiveDate,
    #[validate(range(min = -90.0, max = 90.0))]
    pub latitude: f64,
    #[validate(range(min = -180.0, max = 180.0))]
    pub longitude: f64,
    #[validate(range(min = -50.0, max = 50.0))]
    pub min_temp: f32,
    #[validate(range(min = -50.0, max = 50.0))]
    pub max_temp: f32,
    #[validate(range(min = -50.0, max = 50.0))]
    pub avg_temp: f32,
    pub quality_flags: String,
}
```

### CLI Interface (using Clap)

```rust
use clap::{Parser, Subcommand};

#[derive(Parser)]

#[command(name = "uk-temp-processor")]

#[command(about = "High-performance UK temperature data processor")]

pub struct Cli {
    #[command(subcommand)]
    pub command: Commands,
    
    #[arg(short, long, global = true, help = "Enable verbose logging")]
    pub verbose: bool,
    
    #[arg(long, global = true, help = "Log file path")]
    pub log_file: Option<PathBuf>,
}

#[derive(Subcommand)]

pub enum Commands {
    Process {
        #[arg(short, long, default_value = "data")]
        input_dir: PathBuf,
        
        #[arg(short, long, default_value = "output/temperatures.parquet")]
        output_file: PathBuf,
        
        #[arg(short, long, default_value = "snappy")]
        compression: String,
        
        #[arg(short, long)]
        station_id: Option<u32>,
        
        #[arg(long, default_value = "false")]
        validate_only: bool,
        
        #[arg(long, default_value_t = num_cpus::get())]
        max_workers: usize,
        
        #[arg(long, default_value = "1000")]
        chunk_size: usize,
    },
    Validate {
        #[arg(short, long, default_value = "data")]
        input_dir: PathBuf,
        
        #[arg(long, default_value_t = num_cpus::get())]
        max_workers: usize,
    },
    Info {
        #[arg(short, long)]
        file: PathBuf,
        
        #[arg(short, long, default_value = "10")]
        sample: usize,
    },
}
```

## Performance Optimization Strategies


### 1. I/O Optimization

```rust
// Memory-mapped file reading for large files
use memmap2::Mmap;

pub fn read_large_file_mmap(path: &Path) -> Result<Mmap, std::io::Error> {
    let file = std::fs::File::open(path)?;
    unsafe { Mmap::map(&file) }
}

// Buffered readers for streaming
use std::io::BufReader;

pub fn create_buffered_reader(path: &Path) -> Result<BufReader<File>, std::io::Error> {
    let file = File::open(path)?;
    Ok(BufReader::with_capacity(8192 * 16, file)) // 128KB buffer
}
```

### 2. Parallel Processing with Rayon

```rust
use rayon::prelude::*;

pub fn process_stations_parallel(
    stations: Vec<StationMetadata>,
    data_path: &Path,
) -> Result<Vec<ConsolidatedRecord>, ProcessingError> {
    stations
        .into_par_iter()
        .map(|station| process_single_station(station, data_path))
        .collect::<Result<Vec<_>, _>>()
        .map(|nested| nested.into_iter().flatten().collect())
}
```

### 3. Zero-Copy String Processing

```rust
// Use Cow<str> for zero-copy when possible
use std::borrow::Cow;

pub fn parse_station_name(line: &str) -> Cow<str> {
    let trimmed = line.trim();
    if trimmed.len() == line.len() {
        Cow::Borrowed(trimmed)
    } else {
        Cow::Owned(trimmed.to_string())
    }
}
```

### 4. Efficient Parquet Writing

```rust
use arrow::array::*;
use arrow::record_batch::RecordBatch;
use parquet::arrow::ArrowWriter;

pub struct ParquetBatchWriter {
    writer: ArrowWriter<File>,
    batch_size: usize,
    records: Vec<ConsolidatedRecord>,
}

impl ParquetBatchWriter {
    pub fn write_batch(&mut self, records: Vec<ConsolidatedRecord>) -> Result<(), ProcessingError> {
        // Convert to Arrow arrays for maximum efficiency
        let station_ids = Int32Array::from(records.iter().map(|r| r.station_id as i32).collect::<Vec<_>>());
        let dates = Date32Array::from(records.iter().map(|r| r.date.num_days_from_ce()).collect::<Vec<_>>());
        // ... other arrays
        
        let batch = RecordBatch::try_new(self.schema.clone(), vec![
            Arc::new(station_ids),
            Arc::new(dates),
            // ... other arrays
        ])?;
        
        self.writer.write(&batch)?;
        Ok(())
    }
}
```

## Data Integrity and Validation


### Validation Strategy

```rust
use validator::Validate;

impl ConsolidatedRecord {
    pub fn validate_relationships(&self) -> Result<(), ProcessingError> {
        // Validate min <= avg <= max with tolerance
        if self.min_temp > self.avg_temp + 0.1 || self.avg_temp > self.max_temp + 0.1 {
            return Err(ProcessingError::TemperatureValidation {
                message: format!(
                    "Invalid temperature relationship: min={}, avg={}, max={}",
                    self.min_temp, self.avg_temp, self.max_temp

    }
}
```

### Quality Flags Handling

```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy)]

pub enum QualityFlag {
    Valid = 0,
    Suspect = 1,
    Missing = 9,
}

impl QualityFlag {
    pub fn from_u8(value: u8) -> Self {
        match value {
            0 => QualityFlag::Valid,
            1 => QualityFlag::Suspect,
            _ => QualityFlag::Missing,
        }
    }
    
    pub fn should_enforce_strict_validation(&self) -> bool {
        matches!(self, QualityFlag::Valid)
    }
}
```

## Testing Strategy


### Unit Tests

```rust
#[cfg(test)]

mod tests {
    use super::*;
    
    #[test]
    fn test_temperature_validation() {
        let record = ConsolidatedRecord {
            min_temp: 10.0,
            avg_temp: 15.0,
            max_temp: 20.0,
            // ... other fields
        };
        
        assert!(record.validate_relationships().is_ok());
    }
    
    #[test]
    fn test_coordinate_conversion() {
        let dms = "50:30:15";
        let decimal = dms_to_decimal(dms).unwrap();
        assert!((decimal - 50.504167).abs() < 0.000001);
    }
}
```

### Integration Tests

```rust
#[tokio::test]

async fn test_full_processing_pipeline() {
    let temp_dir = tempdir().unwrap();
    create_test_data(&temp_dir).await;
    
    let result = process_temperature_data(
        temp_dir.path(),
        temp_dir.path().join("output.parquet"),
        ProcessingConfig::default(),
    ).await;
    
    assert!(result.is_ok());
    // Verify output file exists and has expected content
}
```

### Benchmarks

```rust
use criterion::{black_box, criterion_group, criterion_main, Criterion};

fn benchmark_station_processing(c: &mut Criterion) {
    let test_data = create_benchmark_data();
    
    c.bench_function("process_station", |b| {
        b.iter(|| process_single_station(black_box(&test_data)))
    });
}

criterion_group!(benches, benchmark_station_processing);
criterion_main!(benches);
```

## Configuration and Deployment

[profile.release-fast]
inherits = "release"
opt-level = 3
```
