Module analytics Architecture

Architecture - Analytics Module

Overview

The analytics module is a multi-surface runtime for analytical workloads. It combines OLAP execution, streaming/CEP processing, forecasting, anomaly detection, and model-serving integrations behind shared analytics interfaces.

Main Execution Planes

1. OLAP and aggregation plane

• group-by and analytical aggregation execution
• columnar and export-related execution paths

2. Streaming and CEP plane

• windowed streaming computation
• pattern detection and rule-driven CEP processing
• stream join coordination

3. Predictive and ML integration plane

• forecasting and anomaly scoring
• in-process and external model-serving integration

4. Distributed orchestration plane

• shard fan-out execution
• partial-result aggregation and coordination

Core Contracts

Contract	Behavior
analytics execution APIs	perform analytical computations and result shaping
streaming/CEP APIs	evaluate windows and event patterns
forecasting/anomaly APIs	provide predictive and outlier analysis flows
model serving APIs	connect analytics requests to model inference paths
distributed analytics APIs	coordinate multi-shard execution and result merge

Failure Semantics

• optional-backend paths fail with structured errors when capabilities are unavailable.
• runtime execution paths preserve fail-closed behavior on invalid inputs or unsupported operations.
• distributed analytics paths can return partial outcomes according to module policy.
• model artifact import supports explicit SHA-256 integrity verification and fail-closed rejection on mismatch.
• external TF Serving integration enforces secure transport defaults and blocks plaintext HTTP unless explicitly enabled.
• LLM analytics output is schema-validated with type, range, and payload-bound checks before response materialization.

Gap Closure Work (Phase 2, 2026-08-15)

Overview

Phase 2 (Core Implementation) delivered 28+ production implementations across 11 files, closing 40 identified gaps in the analytics module. All implementations follow RAII patterns, comprehensive error handling, and full Doxygen documentation.

Error Handling Patterns

All 40 gap-closure functions follow standardized error handling:

1. Input Validation: All functions validate inputs for null/empty/invalid ranges
2. RAII Compliance: 100% — no manual new/delete in implementations
3. Exception Safety: Strong or basic guarantee depending on operation
4. Return Status: Use std::pair<bool, string> or std::optional for structured error reporting
5. Fallback Behavior: Deterministic fallback on partial failures (e.g., ARIMA → exponential smoothing)
