⚡️ Speed up function generate_mlflow_trace_id_from_otel_trace_id by 43%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 43% (0.43x) speedup for generate_mlflow_trace_id_from_otel_trace_id in mlflow/tracing/utils/__init__.py

⏱️ Runtime : 664 microseconds → 463 microseconds (best of 82 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 43% speedup by replacing the OpenTelemetry library call with a native Python f-string format and removing unnecessary caching overhead.

Key optimizations:

1. Removed @lru_cache(maxsize=1): The LRU cache was counterproductive because:

   • It adds locking overhead for thread safety
   • Memory allocation overhead for cache data structures
   • The cached function (trace_api.format_trace_id) is already very fast
   • With maxsize=1, cache hits are unlikely in real workloads with diverse trace IDs

2. Replaced trace_api.format_trace_id() with f"{trace_id:032x}":

   • Eliminates external library call overhead to OpenTelemetry
   • Uses Python's native integer-to-hex formatting which is highly optimized
   • Produces identical output: 32-character lowercase hex string with zero-padding

Performance impact analysis:

• Line profiler shows the optimized encode_trace_id runs in 414ns vs 2595ns for the original cached version
• All test cases show 40-70% speedup, with larger trace IDs benefiting most (up to 72% faster)
• The function is called from mlflow/entities/span.py in span creation from OpenTelemetry protobuf data, indicating it's in a hot path during trace ingestion

Workload benefits:
Based on the function reference, this optimization will significantly improve performance during high-volume trace processing where spans are frequently created from OpenTelemetry protocol data. The elimination of locking overhead makes it particularly beneficial for multi-threaded trace ingestion scenarios.
