Summary

The server now sends a TIMESTAMP property as Timestamp { int64 unix_micros }: signed microseconds since the Unix epoch, negative before 1970. The client decoded the old wire shape into a {"wall_time", "logical"} dict that nothing could write back. CoordiNode 0.7.2 is the first release that sends the new shape, so this client now requires it.

  • coordinode.Timestamp, an int subclass holding epoch microseconds, is what a timestamp now decodes to. It matches the embedded client's integer, and it re-encodes as timestamp_value, so a read-modify-write keeps the property type. A plain int still encodes as int_value.
  • An aware datetime encodes as a timestamp; a naive one raises ValueError, since it names no instant.
  • Timestamp.to_datetime() and Timestamp.from_datetime() convert exactly, using integer arithmetic.
  • The proto submodule moves to the 0.7.2 protocol, and the embedded engine builds from the v0.7.2 sources (Cargo.lock refreshed).
  • The integration job, the demo stack and the quick-start compose file run the 0.7.2 server image, pinned by digest. The README, the demo README and the 0.5 notebook name 0.7.2 as the minimum server.

create_constraint

Since 0.7.2 the server validates a unique or node-key constraint in an index build and holds CreateConstraint only up to the request's wait, returning the constraint VALIDATING with the build still running when the wait runs out.

  • create_constraint() takes wait in seconds: None waits as long as the client's timeout, 0 returns once the build is admitted. The wait is always sent, since the server's own default (60 s on 0.7.2, operator-tunable) can exceed the client's deadline, and the call's deadline is extended by it.
  • ConstraintInfo reports build_operation and build_state.

Demo image

The two Docker base-image updates Dependabot cannot auto-merge are folded in: uv 0.13.1 (#141) and scipy-notebook python-3.13.16 (#136).

Testing

  • pytest tests/unit: 374 passed, 2 skipped. The timestamp tests and the create_constraint wait tests failed before their changes.
  • make lint: clean.
  • cargo check --all-targets of the embedded extension against the v0.7.2 sources: clean.
  • Every demo notebook executed end to end in the local Docker stack against the 0.7.2 server image, with the image built from the new base images. The LLM cells of the LangChain and LangGraph notebooks were skipped, as they are without OPENAI_API_KEY.

Closes #132

The server now sends a TIMESTAMP as signed epoch microseconds. A
timestamp used to decode to a {"wall_time", "logical"} dict that nothing
could write back, unlike the embedded client, which returns an int.

- Timestamp, an int subclass, decodes the value and re-encodes as a
  timestamp, so a read-modify-write keeps the property type.
- An aware datetime encodes as a timestamp; a naive one is refused.
- Timestamp.to_datetime / from_datetime convert exactly.
- Move the proto submodule to the signed Timestamp message.

Closes #132

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for encoding aware datetimes as timestamps and converting between timestamps and UTC datetimes.
    • Timestamp values decode as signed epoch-microsecond values, while plain integers remain integers. Naive datetimes are rejected.
    • Constraint creation can now wait for an index build, and constraint details show the build’s operation ID and state.
  • Compatibility
    • CoordiNode server v0.7.2 or newer is required for timestamp support and transaction operations.

The package adds a public Timestamp type for signed Unix-epoch microseconds. Timestamp properties decode to Timestamp and encode back as timestamp values. Aware datetimes encode as timestamps, while naive datetimes raise ValueError. Plain integers remain integer values. The client also exposes constraint build status and accepts an optional build wait duration.

Changes: Timestamp properties

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timestamp type and public export
coordinode/coordinode/_types.py, coordinode/coordinode/__init__.py, coordinode-embedded/python/coordinode_embedded/_types.py, coordinode-embedded/python/coordinode_embedded/__init__.py
The packages define and export Timestamp, an integer wrapper that converts between signed epoch microseconds and aware datetimes.
Timestamp property conversion
coordinode/coordinode/_types.py, coordinode-embedded/src/lib.rs, proto, coordinode-rs, tests/unit/test_types.py, tests/unit/test_embedded_values.py
Encoding handles Timestamp before plain integers and converts aware datetimes to timestamp values. Decoding returns Timestamp. Tests cover signed values, round-trips, integer handling, and datetime conversion.

Explanation

Issue #132 is active and defines coding requirements. The changes add and export Timestamp, decode signed timestamp values including negative values, preserve timestamp_value on re-encoding, and keep plain int as int_value. They support aware datetime values, reject naive values with ValueError, and provide exact Timestamp.to_datetime() and Timestamp.from_datetime() conversions. Tests in tests/unit/test_types.py cover these behaviors, including nested timestamps. The proto submodule moves to the signed timestamp message.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The pull request includes changes with no demonstrated connection to issue #132. coordinode/coordinode/client.py adds the unrelated create_constraint(wait=...) feature, and tests/unit/test_schema_crud.py tests it. demo/Dockerfile.jupyter also changes unrelated Dependabot base-image versions. These changes exceed the linked issue's timestamp scope.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated create_constraint(wait=...) implementation and tests, and remove the unrelated demo base-image updates, or link active issues that require those changes.

[High impact] Updates server version and timestamp serialization format.

The default constraint-creation deadline issue should be fixed before merging because schema setup can report failure while its build continues.

Findings

  1. P1 Default constraint calls time out ▶

Summary

Adds Timestamp values that preserve epoch microseconds when read and written through either client, supports timezone-aware datetime values, and updates the protocol, embedded engine, and server images to 0.7.2.

Constraint creation now exposes build details and an explicit wait option, but the default call deadline remains shorter than the server's default wait. In coordinode/coordinode/client.py, actual SDK requests against a controlled gRPC service timed out after 30 seconds for builds that completed in 35 seconds. Supplying wait=60 allowed those requests to succeed. The default deadline needs to be corrected before merging.

  • Timestamps keep their type when Python clients read and write them.
  • Constraint creation can wait while its index is built.
  • The demo image builds with newer uv and Python base images.

- A list holding timestamps was taken for a vector, because Timestamp is
  an int: it went out as floats, another wire type, with microseconds
  lost to the float's mantissa. Timestamp is excluded from the vector
  path the way bool is.
- The embedded client stored a Timestamp as an integer, refused an
  aware datetime, and read a stored timestamp back as a plain int. It
  now carries a Timestamp tag like MultiVector and Path (re-used from
  `coordinode` when installed): a tagged value or an aware datetime is
  stored as a timestamp, a naive datetime is refused, and a timestamp
  reads back tagged.
- Direct tests of Timestamp.from_datetime at and around the epoch.

Regression tests cover a list of timestamps written back, and a
datetime through the embedded client read and written back.
Main moved the embedded bindings to pyo3 0.29: the timestamp and
datetime class cells now use PyOnceLock like the other tag cells.
Since 0.7.2 the server validates a unique or node-key constraint in an
index build and holds CreateConstraint only up to the request's wait. When
the wait runs out it returns the constraint VALIDATING with the build
still running. The docstring promised a validated constraint on return,
and a server default longer than the client timeout ended the call with
DEADLINE_EXCEEDED while the server went on to create the constraint.

- create_constraint() takes wait, in seconds; None keeps the server's
  default and 0 returns once the build is admitted. The call's deadline is
  extended by the wait.
- ConstraintInfo reports build_operation and build_state.

Regression tests: test_wait_is_sent_and_extends_the_deadline,
test_zero_wait_is_sent_rather_than_dropped, test_negative_wait_raises,
test_validating_constraint_reports_its_build.
0.7.2 is the first server release that sends a TIMESTAMP property as
signed epoch microseconds, the form this client now reads.

- The integration job, the demo stack and the quick-start compose file
  run the 0.7.2 server image, pinned by its digest.
- The embedded engine builds from the v0.7.2 sources; Cargo.lock is
  refreshed for them.
- The README, the demo README and the 0.5 notebook name 0.7.2 as the
  minimum server.
- The demo image takes the uv 0.13.1 and scipy-notebook python-3.13.16
  base images.

Both packages ship from this repository at one version, so the embedded
package takes the shared tags from coordinode together or defines its own.
