WorkflowEngine

WorkflowEngine(backend: Any = None, dry_run: bool = False, implicit_data: bool = True, uid: Optional[str] = None, work_dir: Optional[str] = None)

An asynchronous workflow manager that uses asyncio event loops and coroutines to manage and execute workflow components (blocks and/or tasks) within Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) or Chain Graph (CG) structures.

This class provides async/await operations and handles task dependencies, input/output data staging, and execution.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
loop AbstractEventLoop

The asyncio event loop (current running loop).

backend

The execution backend used for task execution.

dry_run bool

Indicates whether the engine is in dry-run mode.

log Logger

Logger instance for logging workflow events.

prof Profiler

Profiler instance for profiling workflow execution.

Initialize the WorkflowEngine (sync part only).

Note: This is a private constructor. Use WorkflowEngine.create() instead.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
backend Any

Execution backend (required, pre-validated)

None
dry_run bool

Whether to run in dry-run mode

False
implicit_data bool

Whether to enable implicit data dependency linking

True
uid Optional[str]

Optional unique identifier for this engine. Defaults to asyncflow.session.{hex8} (UUID-based).

None
work_dir Optional[str]

Working directory for output files (default: cwd)

None

backend property

backend

Return the default execution backend.

start_telemetry async

start_telemetry(resource_poll_interval: float = 5.0, checkpoint_interval: float | None = None, checkpoint_path: str | None = None, span_processors: list | None = None, metric_readers: list | None = None, resource: object | None = None) -> Any

Create and start a RHAPSODY TelemetryManager for this workflow engine.

Mirrors Session.start_telemetry(): creates the manager, wires all registered backends (silently skipping LocalExecutionBackend and NoopExecutionBackend which have no adapter), starts the async dispatch loop, and returns the manager.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
resource_poll_interval float

Seconds between resource metric polls (default: 5.0).

5.0
checkpoint_interval float | None

Seconds between periodic metric+span flushes to disk. None = no periodic flush (file still written at stop).

None
checkpoint_path str | None

Directory for the JSONL checkpoint file. None = no file output.

None
span_processors list | None

Optional list of OTel SpanProcessor instances added to RHAPSODY's TracerProvider alongside the internal SpanBuffer. Callers own exporter construction.

None
metric_readers list | None

Optional list of OTel MetricReader instances added to RHAPSODY's MeterProvider alongside InMemoryMetricReader.

None
resource object | None

Optional opentelemetry.sdk.resources.Resource. When None, Resource.create() reads OTEL_SERVICE_NAME from the environment automatically.

None

Returns:

Type Description
Any

The active TelemetryManager instance.

workflow_scope async

workflow_scope(workflow_id: str | None = None) -> AsyncIterator[str]

Tag all tasks registered inside this scope with a shared workflow_id.

Also creates an OTel workflow span (when telemetry is active) so that task spans registered inside become structural children in the trace hierarchy.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
workflow_id str | None

Explicit id for this workflow instance. If omitted, a short UUID is generated automatically.

None

Yields:

Type Description
AsyncIterator[str]

run async

run()

Manages asynchronous execution of workflow components.

Continuously monitors and manages workflow components, handling their dependencies and execution states. Performs dependency resolution and prepares components for execution when their dependencies are satisfied.

Workflow Process
  1. Monitors unresolved components
  2. Checks dependency resolution status
  3. Prepares resolved components for execution
  4. Handles data staging between components
  5. Submits ready components to execution

Raises:

Type Description
CancelledError

If the coroutine is cancelled during execution

State Management
  • unresolved (set): Component UIDs with pending dependencies
  • resolved (set): Component UIDs with satisfied dependencies
  • running (list): Currently executing component UIDs
  • dependencies (dict): Maps component UIDs to dependency info
  • components (dict): Maps UIDs to component descriptions and futures
  • queue (asyncio.Queue): Execution queue for ready components
Note
  • Runs indefinitely until cancelled or shutdown is signaled
  • Uses sleep intervals to prevent busy-waiting
  • Handles both implicit and explicit data dependencies
  • Trigger internal shutdown on loop failure

async def run(self):
    """Manages asynchronous execution of workflow components.

    Continuously monitors and manages workflow components, handling their
    dependencies and execution states. Performs dependency resolution and
    prepares components for execution when their dependencies are satisfied.

    Workflow Process:
        1. Monitors unresolved components
        2. Checks dependency resolution status
        3. Prepares resolved components for execution
        4. Handles data staging between components
        5. Submits ready components to execution

    Raises:
        asyncio.CancelledError: If the coroutine is cancelled during execution

    State Management:
        - unresolved (set): Component UIDs with pending dependencies
        - resolved (set): Component UIDs with satisfied dependencies
        - running (list): Currently executing component UIDs
        - dependencies (dict): Maps component UIDs to dependency info
        - components (dict): Maps UIDs to component descriptions and futures
        - queue (asyncio.Queue): Execution queue for ready components

    Note:
        - Runs indefinitely until cancelled or shutdown is signaled
        - Uses sleep intervals to prevent busy-waiting
        - Handles both implicit and explicit data dependencies
        - Trigger internal shutdown on loop failure

submit async

submit(objects: list) -> None

Manages asynchronous submission of tasks/blocks to the execution backend.

Retrieves and submit ready tasks and blocks for execution. Separates incoming objects into tasks and blocks based on their UID pattern, and dispatches each to the appropriate backend method.

Submission Process
  1. Receive batch of objects
  2. Filters objects into tasks and blocks
  3. Submits tasks via backend.submit_tasks
  4. Submits blocks via _submit_blocks asynchronously

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
objects list

Tasks and blocks are identified by uid field content

required

Returns:

Type Description
None

None

Raises:

Type Description
Exception

If an unexpected error occurs during submission

shutdown async

shutdown(skip_execution_backend: bool = False) -> None

Internal implementation of asynchronous shutdown for the workflow manager.

This method performs the following steps
  1. Sets the shutdown event to signal components to exit
  2. Cancels background tasks responsible for running and submitting workflows.
  3. Waits for the cancellation and completion of these tasks, with a timeout of 5 seconds.
  4. Cancel workflow tasks.
  5. Logs a warning if the tasks do not complete within the timeout period.
  6. Shuts down the backend using an executor to avoid blocking the event loop.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
skip_execution_backend bool

If True, skips the shutdown of the execution backend.

False

Returns:

Type Description
None

None

Raises:

Type Description
TimeoutError

If the background tasks do not complete within the timeout period.

CancelledError

If the shutdown is cancelled before completion.
