StreamingSentimentPipeline Implementation - Complete Description

Summary

This PR introduces StreamingSentimentPipeline, a comprehensive streaming sentiment analysis system that extends the Hugging Face Transformers Pipeline API with asynchronous data ingestion, event-driven architecture, and multi-protocol support for real-time text processing.

Fixes #42035

Motivation

Current transformers pipelines support static or batched text input. Real-world use cases in finance, social media analytics, brand monitoring, and content moderation require continuous, low-latency sentiment tracking from live data sources. This implementation provides a standardized solution for the entire ecosystem.

Key Features

Core Capabilities

• Multi-Protocol Support: WebSocket, Kafka, HTTP Server-Sent Events (SSE), and file-based streaming
• Event-Driven Architecture: Pub/sub pattern with comprehensive lifecycle event handling
• Asynchronous Processing: Non-blocking I/O with configurable batching and parallel execution
• Resilience Patterns: Circuit breakers, retry logic with exponential backoff, backpressure handling
• Full Backwards Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for standard transformers Pipeline
• Production Observability: Built-in metrics, structured logging, distributed tracing support

Advanced Features

• Buffer management with intelligent flushing strategies
• Order guarantees (best-effort and strict ordering modes)
• Comprehensive error classification and recovery
• Automatic resource cleanup and graceful shutdown
• Performance optimization through batching, pooling, and adaptive throttling

Usage Examples

Basic Streaming

import asyncio
from transformers import StreamingSentimentPipeline, StreamingConfig

async def main():
    config = StreamingConfig(
        batch_size=32,
        window_ms=250,
        max_buffer_size=1000
    )
    
    pipeline = StreamingSentimentPipeline(
        model="cardiffnlp/twitter-roberta-base-sentiment-latest",
        config=config
    )
    
    # Subscribe to results
    def on_result(event):
        print(f"Sentiment: {event.result.label} ({event.result.score:.3f})")
    
    pipeline.subscribe_result_callback(on_result)
    
    await pipeline.initialize()
    await pipeline.start()
    
    # Push text for processing
    await pipeline.push({"text": "I love this product!", "id": "1"})
    await pipeline.push({"text": "This is terrible.", "id": "2"})
    
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    await pipeline.stop()

asyncio.run(main())

Kafka Integration

from streaming_sentiment_pipeline import create_kafka_adapter

async def kafka_example():
    pipeline = StreamingSentimentPipeline(model="cardiffnlp/twitter-roberta-base-sentiment-latest")
    
    kafka_adapter = create_kafka_adapter(
        bootstrap_servers=["localhost:9092"],
        group_id="sentiment-pipeline"
    )
    
    pipeline.add_adapter("kafka", kafka_adapter, is_default=True)
    
    await pipeline.initialize()
    await pipeline.start()
    
    # Consume from Kafka and process
    topics = ["social-media", "reviews"]
    async for item in kafka_adapter.start_consuming(topics):
        await pipeline.push(item)

Testing

Comprehensive test coverage including:

• Unit tests for all core components
• Integration tests for each protocol adapter
• Performance and stress tests
• Error handling and edge cases
• Backwards compatibility validation

Performance

Optimized for production:

• Async I/O with batching reduces latency
• Connection pooling and keep-alive
• Adaptive throttling and backpressure
• Memory-efficient buffer management

Backwards Compatibility

Fully compatible with existing Pipeline API:

• Drop-in replacement capability
• Synchronous __call__ method preserved
• All existing Pipeline methods supported
• No breaking changes
