⚡️ Speed up function generate_trace_id_v4_from_otel_trace_id by 11%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 11% (0.11x) speedup for generate_trace_id_v4_from_otel_trace_id in mlflow/tracing/utils/__init__.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.57 milliseconds → 1.41 milliseconds (best of 74 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization eliminates function call overhead by inlining the construct_trace_id_v4() function directly into generate_trace_id_v4_from_otel_trace_id().

Key changes:

• Removed the separate function call to construct_trace_id_v4(location, encode_trace_id(otel_trace_id))
• Replaced it with direct f-string formatting: f"{TRACE_ID_V4_PREFIX}{location}/{encode_trace_id(otel_trace_id)}"

Why this is faster:
In Python, function calls have significant overhead including stack frame creation, parameter passing, and return value handling. The line profiler shows that the original construct_trace_id_v4() call consumed ~1ms of the total ~15.9ms runtime. By inlining this simple f-string operation, we eliminate this overhead entirely.

Performance impact:
The optimization delivers consistent 8-19% speedups across all test cases, with particularly strong gains (16-19%) for edge cases with special characters, empty strings, and long locations. This suggests the function call overhead is proportionally more expensive for these scenarios.

Hot path significance:
Based on the function reference, this optimization is highly valuable because generate_trace_id_v4_from_otel_trace_id() is called from Span.from_otel_proto() during OpenTelemetry span processing - a critical path in distributed tracing workflows where spans are frequently created and processed. The 11% overall speedup directly improves trace ingestion performance.

The optimization maintains identical functionality while providing measurable performance gains in a tracing hotspot.
