    async def ingest_document(self, file_path, metadata):
        # Load document using new loader
        document = self.loader_factory.load_document(file_path)
        
        # Use existing ingestion pipeline for processing
        result = await self.ingestion_pipeline.process_document(
            file_path, 
            source="user_upload",
            metadata={**document.metadata, **metadata}

search_engine = DocumentSearchEngine(
    retriever=HybridRetriever(...),
    reranker=CrossEncoderReranker(...),
    vector_store=OpenSearchStore(...)
)

💾 Data Storage Strategy

1. Document Storage

Options:

Storage	Use Case	Cost	Scalability
Local Filesystem	Development, Small deployments	Free	Limited
S3 / MinIO	Production, Large files	Low	High
MongoDB GridFS	Integrated with metadata	Medium	Medium

Recommendation: S3 for production, local filesystem for development

2. Metadata Storage

MongoDB Schema:

// documents collection
{
  _id: ObjectId,
  document_id: String (indexed),
  filename: String,
  format: String (indexed),
  size_bytes: Number,
  storage_path: String,
  upload_timestamp: Date (indexed),
  user_id: String (indexed),
  status: String (indexed),
  version: Number,
  checksum: String,
  
  // Extracted metadata
  metadata: {
    title: String,
    author: String,
    created_date: Date,
    tags: [String] (indexed),
    custom: Object
  },
  
  // Processing info
  processing: {
    chunks_created: Number,
    processing_time_ms: Number,
    indexing_time_ms: Number,
    error: String,
    retry_count: Number
  },
  
  // Search optimization
  search_stats: {
    times_retrieved: Number,
    last_accessed: Date,
    avg_relevance_score: Number
  },
  
  // Relationships
  similar_documents: [String],
  references: [String],
  
  // Versioning
  previous_version_id: String,
  next_version_id: String
}

// Indexes
createIndex({ document_id: 1 }, { unique: true })
createIndex({ user_id: 1, upload_timestamp: -1 })
createIndex({ status: 1, upload_timestamp: -1 })
createIndex({ "metadata.tags": 1 })
createIndex({ format: 1, status: 1 })
createIndex({ checksum: 1 })

3. Vector Storage

Use Existing OpenSearch Index:

Leverage existing opensearch_index_name configuration
Add document-specific metadata fields
Separate index for document embeddings vs. general knowledge base

Index Structure:

{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "chunk_id": {"type": "keyword"},
      "document_id": {"type": "keyword"},
      "content": {"type": "text"},
      "embedding": {
        "type": "knn_vector",
        "dimension": 3072
      },
      "metadata": {
        "properties": {
          "document_title": {"type": "text"},
          "document_format": {"type": "keyword"},
          "chunk_index": {"type": "integer"},
          "page_number": {"type": "integer"},
          "section": {"type": "text"}
        }
      },
      "timestamp": {"type": "date"}
    }
  }
}

4. Cache Strategy

Redis Caching:

# Cache keys and TTL
- search_results:{query_hash} → 1 hour
- document_summary:{doc_id}:{method} → 24 hours
- document_metadata:{doc_id} → 1 hour
- embedding:{content_hash} → 7 days
- query_expansion:{query} → 1 hour

🔐 Security & Access Control

1. Document Access Control

Integration with existing authentication:

class DocumentAccessControl:
    def can_access(self, user_id, document_id):
        # Check document ownership
        # Check team/organization access
        # Check shared permissions
        pass
    
    def can_search(self, user_id, filters):
        # Apply user-specific filters
        # Filter out inaccessible documents
        pass

2. Data Privacy

Features:

PII detection and masking (integrate with existing guardrails)
Document encryption at rest (S3 encryption)
Audit logging for access
GDPR compliance (right to deletion)

3. Input Validation

Security Checks:

File size limits (default: 100MB)
Format validation
Malware scanning (optional integration)
Content sanitization

🙋 Questions & Decisions

Open Questions

Storage: Use S3 or MongoDB GridFS for document storage?
- Recommendation: S3 for production (better scalability)
Summarization: Default to extractive or abstractive?
- Recommendation: Extractive for free tier, abstractive for paid
Search: Single index or separate indexes for different formats?
- Recommendation: Single index with format metadata
Processing: Sync or async document processing?
- Recommendation: Async for files > 10MB
Rate Limiting: Per-user or per-organization limits?
- Recommendation: Both (user limits within org limits)

Decisions Made

✅ Use existing RAG infrastructure
✅ MongoDB for metadata, OpenSearch for vectors
✅ Support both extractive and abstractive summarization
✅ Implement comprehensive caching strategy
✅ Build REST API first, GraphQL later
