Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor
    • Simplified cache file naming and directory structure from nested directories with fixed filenames to a flat directory using task-specific suffixes (e.g., _i.h5, _o.h5).
    • Updated logic for reading, writing, and checking cache files to match the new naming convention.
  • Tests
    • Adjusted test cases to use the new flat cache file structure and naming scheme.

Walkthrough

This change refactors the cache file naming and directory structure across multiple modules. It replaces nested directories and fixed filenames with a flat directory structure, using task-key-based filenames with _i.h5 and _o.h5 suffixes for input and output cache files. All affected functions and tests are updated accordingly.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
executorlib/standalone/cache.py Refactored get_cache_data to use flat cache directory and process files ending with _o.h5 only.
executorlib/task_scheduler/file/backend.py Updated backend_write_file to use _r.h5 and _o.h5 suffixes, and changed base filename slicing logic.
executorlib/task_scheduler/file/shared.py Changed cache file handling in execute_tasks_h5 and _check_task_output to use flat structure and new suffixes.
executorlib/task_scheduler/interactive/shared.py Simplified cache existence checks and file naming in _execute_task_with_cache to match new flat structure.
tests/test_cache_backend_execute.py Updated test cache file paths and directory creation to match the new flat structure and file naming convention.

Poem

In the cache where files once nested deep,
Now flat and tidy, they quietly sleep.
No more subfolders, just suffixes clear—
_i.h5 and _o.h5 bring order here!
The rabbit hops by, with a satisfied grin,
For simple paths make life easy to begin.
🐇✨

31-33: Filter with str.endswith + isfile to avoid opening non-files

task_key[-5:] == "_o.h5" works but is brittle and will happily treat sub-directories named foo_o.h5 as files, causing h5py.File(...) to raise.

-        file_name = os.path.join(cache_directory, task_key)
-        if task_key[-5:] == "_o.h5":
+        if task_key.endswith("_o.h5"):
+            file_name = os.path.join(cache_directory, task_key)
+            if not os.path.isfile(file_name):
+                continue          # skip dirs / special files
tests/test_cache_backend_execute.py (1)

66-68: Remove stale nested-directory creation

The new flat cache layout no longer needs <cache>/<task_key>/.
Leaving this os.makedirs is harmless but clutters the tree and could hide pathing bugs later.

-        file_name = os.path.join(cache_directory, task_key + "_i.h5")
-        os.makedirs(os.path.join(cache_directory, task_key), exist_ok=True)
+        file_name = os.path.join(cache_directory, f"{task_key}_i.h5")
executorlib/task_scheduler/file/backend.py (1)

45-46: Derive file_name_out more robustly

os.path.splitext(file_name)[0][:-2] silently chops two characters, assuming the suffix is always _i.
If the naming ever changes (e.g. _in), this will mis-slice.

-from pathlib import Path
-file_name_out = os.path.splitext(file_name)[0][:-2]
+from pathlib import Path
+file_name_out = Path(file_name).with_suffix("").as_posix().removesuffix("_i")

Path.removesuffix (Python ≥ 3.11) or manual if base.endswith("_i"): guards make the intention explicit.
This also improves readability.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Prefer os.path.exists() over directory scans for existence checks

Using task_key + "_o.h5" not in os.listdir(cache_directory) forces a full directory listing on every call.
os.path.exists(file_name) (or Path(file_name).exists()) is:

  1. O(1) rather than O(n) on large cache dirs.
  2. Immune to race conditions where a file is created between listdir() and the subsequent logic.
  3. Clearer to read.
-    file_name = os.path.join(cache_directory, task_key + "_o.h5")
-    if task_key + "_o.h5" not in os.listdir(cache_directory):
+    file_name = os.path.join(cache_directory, f"{task_key}_o.h5")
+    if not os.path.exists(file_name):

In executorlib/task_scheduler/interactive/shared.py around lines 154 to 156,
replace the check using 'task_key + "_o.h5" not in os.listdir(cache_directory)'
with 'not os.path.exists(file_name)'. This avoids scanning the entire directory,
improves performance, prevents race conditions, and makes the code clearer by
directly checking the file's existence.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Use exists() instead of scanning the directory for every task

Similar to the interactive path, scanning os.listdir(cache_directory) for each task does an unnecessary O(n) walk and risks TOCTOU issues.

-                if task_key + "_o.h5" not in os.listdir(cache_directory):
+                output_path = os.path.join(cache_directory, f"{task_key}_o.h5")
+                if not os.path.exists(output_path):

You already compute the same path a few lines later; reuse it to keep the logic DRY.
