2# Engine Module
3
4This module implements the core async workflow engine for dataflow-rs. The engine provides
5high-performance, asynchronous message processing through workflows composed of tasks.
6
7## Architecture
8
9The engine features a clean async-first architecture built on datalogic v5:
10- **Compiler**: Pre-compiles JSONLogic expressions into `Arc<Logic>` via `Engine::compile_arc`
11- **Executor**: Handles internal function execution (map, validation) with async support
12- **Engine**: Orchestrates workflow processing with shared compiled logic
13- **Thread-Safe**: Single `datalogic_rs::Engine` shared via `Arc`, with `Arc<Logic>` entries for zero-copy sharing
14
15## Key Components
16
17- **Engine**: Async engine optimized for Tokio runtime with mixed I/O and CPU workloads
18- **LogicCompiler**: Compiles and caches JSONLogic expressions during initialization
19- **InternalExecutor**: Executes built-in map and validation functions with compiled logic
20- **Workflow**: Collection of tasks with JSONLogic conditions (can access data, metadata, temp_data)
21- **Task**: Individual processing unit that performs a specific function on a message
22- **AsyncFunctionHandler**: Trait for custom async processing logic
23- **Message**: Data structure flowing through the engine with audit trail
24
25## Performance Optimizations
26
27- **Pre-compilation**: All JSONLogic expressions compiled at startup
28- **Arc-wrapped Logic**: Zero-copy sharing of compiled logic across async tasks
29- **Bump-arena evaluation**: Per-worker thread-local `Bump` is rewound (not freed) between evals
30- **True Async**: I/O operations remain fully async
31
32## Usage
33
34```rust,no_run
35use dataflow_rs::{Engine, Workflow, engine::message::Message};
36use serde_json::json;
37
38#[tokio::main]
39async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
40 // Define workflows
41 let workflows = vec![
42 Workflow::from_json(r#"{"id": "example", "name": "Example", "tasks": [{"id": "task1", "name": "Task 1", "function": {"name": "map", "input": {"mappings": []}}}]}"#)?
43 ];
44
45 // Create engine with defaults
46 let engine = Engine::builder().with_workflows(workflows).build()?;
47
48 // Process messages asynchronously
49 let mut message = Message::from_value(&json!({}));
50 engine.process_message(&mut message).await?;
51
52 Ok(())
53}

97/// High-performance async workflow engine for message processing.
98///
99/// ## Architecture
100///
101/// The engine is designed for async-first operation with Tokio:
102/// - **Separation of Concerns**: Distinct executors for workflows and tasks
103/// - **Shared datalogic engine**: Single `datalogic_rs::Engine` wrapped in `Arc` for thread-safe sharing
104/// - **Arc<Logic>**: Pre-compiled logic shared across all async tasks
105/// - **Async Functions**: Native async support for I/O-bound operations
106///
107/// ## Performance Characteristics
108///
109/// - **Zero Runtime Compilation**: All logic compiled during initialization
110/// - **Zero-Copy Sharing**: Arc-wrapped compiled logic shared without cloning
111/// - **Optimal for Mixed Workloads**: Async I/O with blocking CPU evaluation
112/// - **Thread-Safe by Design**: All components safe to share across Tokio tasks

569/// Stamp the standard processing metadata (`processed_at`, `engine_version`,
570/// and optionally `channel`) into the message context.
571///
572/// `now` is captured once at the top of `process_message` and reused so the
573/// timestamp on `metadata.processed_at` matches the one used for every
574/// `AuditTrail` entry within the same call.
575///
576/// Walks to the `metadata` object once and sets every key in a single pass,
577/// instead of one full `"metadata.*"` path split + tree walk per key.
578/// Mirrors `set_nested_value` semantics for the degenerate shapes: a
579/// non-object context or a non-object existing `metadata` slot no-ops; a
580/// missing `metadata` slot is created.
581///
582/// `(**engine_version).clone()` deep-clones the inner `String` — the
583/// context owns its values, so one small allocation per message is
584/// inherent; the cached `Arc` only saves re-formatting the version.
