+# StoryCove Search Migration Specification: Typesense to OpenSearch
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document specifies the migration from Typesense to OpenSearch for the StoryCove application. The migration will be implemented using a parallel approach, maintaining Typesense functionality while gradually transitioning to OpenSearch, ensuring zero downtime and the ability to rollback if needed.
+
+**Migration Goals:**
+- Solve random query reliability issues
+- Improve complex filtering performance
+- Maintain feature parity during transition
+- Zero downtime migration
+- Improved developer experience
+
+---
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### Typesense Implementation Overview
+
+**Service Architecture:**
+- `TypesenseService.java` (~2000 lines) - Primary search service
+- 3 search indexes: Stories, Authors, Collections
+- Multi-library support with dynamic collection names
+- Integration with Spring Boot backend
+
+**Core Functionality:**
+1. **Full-text Search**: Stories, Authors with complex query building
+2. **Random Story Selection**: `_rand()` function with fallback logic
+3. **Advanced Filtering**: 15+ filter conditions with boolean logic
+4. **Faceting**: Tag aggregations and counts
+5. **Autocomplete**: Search suggestions with typeahead
+6. **CRUD Operations**: Index/update/delete for all entity types
+
+**Current Issues Identified:**
+- `_rand()` function unreliability requiring complex fallback logic
+- Complex filter query building with escaping issues
+- Limited aggregation capabilities
+- Inconsistent API behavior across query patterns
+- Multi-collection management complexity
+
+### Data Models and Schema
+
+**Story Index Fields:**
+```java
+// Core fields
+UUID id, String title, String description, String sourceUrl
+Integer wordCount, Integer rating, Integer volume
+Boolean isRead, LocalDateTime lastReadAt, Integer readingPosition
+
+// Relationships
+UUID authorId, String authorName
+UUID seriesId, String seriesName
+List<String> tagNames
+
+// Metadata
+LocalDateTime createdAt, LocalDateTime updatedAt
+String coverPath, String sourceDomain
+```
+
+**Author Index Fields:**
+```java
+UUID id, String name, String notes
+Integer authorRating, Double averageStoryRating, Integer storyCount
+List<String> urls, String avatarImagePath
+LocalDateTime createdAt, LocalDateTime updatedAt
+```
+
+**Collection Index Fields:**
+```java
+UUID id, String name, String description
+List<String> tagNames, Boolean archived
+LocalDateTime createdAt, LocalDateTime updatedAt
+Integer storyCount, Integer currentPosition
+```
+
+### API Endpoints Current State
+
+**Search Endpoints Analysis:**
+
+**✅ USED by Frontend (Must Implement):**
+- `GET /api/stories/search` - Main story search with complex filtering (CRITICAL)
+- `GET /api/stories/random` - Random story selection with filters (CRITICAL)
+- `GET /api/authors/search-typesense` - Author search (HIGH)
+- `GET /api/tags/autocomplete` - Tag suggestions (MEDIUM)
+- `POST /api/stories/reindex-typesense` - Admin reindex operations (MEDIUM)
+- `POST /api/authors/reindex-typesense` - Admin reindex operations (MEDIUM)
+- `POST /api/stories/recreate-typesense-collection` - Admin recreate (MEDIUM)
+- `POST /api/authors/recreate-typesense-collection` - Admin recreate (MEDIUM)
+
+**❌ UNUSED by Frontend (Skip Implementation):**
+- `GET /api/stories/search/suggestions` - Not used by frontend
+- `GET /api/authors/search` - Superseded by typesense version
+- `GET /api/series/search` - Not used by frontend
+- `GET /api/tags/search` - Superseded by autocomplete
+- `POST /api/search/reindex` - Not used by frontend
+- `GET /api/search/health` - Not used by frontend
+
+**Scope Reduction: ~40% fewer endpoints to implement**
+
+**Search Parameters (Stories):**
+```
+query, page, size, authors[], tags[], minRating, maxRating
+sortBy, sortDir, facetBy[]
+minWordCount, maxWordCount, createdAfter, createdBefore
+lastReadAfter, lastReadBefore, unratedOnly, readingStatus
+hasReadingProgress, hasCoverImage, sourceDomain, seriesFilter
+minTagCount, popularOnly, hiddenGemsOnly
+```
+
+---
+
+## Target OpenSearch Architecture
+
+### Service Layer Design
+
+**New Components:**
+```
+OpenSearchService.java        - Primary search service (mirrors TypesenseService API)
+OpenSearchConfig.java         - Configuration and client setup
+SearchMigrationService.java   - Handles parallel operation during migration
+SearchServiceAdapter.java     - Abstraction layer for service switching
+```
+
+**Index Strategy:**
+- **Single-node deployment** for development/small installations
+- **Index-per-library** approach: `stories-{libraryId}`, `authors-{libraryId}`, `collections-{libraryId}`
+- **Index templates** for consistent mapping across libraries
+- **Aliases** for easy switching and zero-downtime updates
+
+### OpenSearch Index Mappings

+```
+
+**Authors Index Mapping:**

+      "updatedAt": {"type": "date"}
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Query Translation Strategy
+
+**Random Story Queries:**
+```java
+// Typesense (problematic)
+String sortBy = seed != null ? "_rand(" + seed + ")" : "_rand()";
+
+// OpenSearch (reliable)
+QueryBuilder randomQuery = QueryBuilders.functionScoreQuery(
+    QueryBuilders.boolQuery().must(filters),
+    ScoreFunctionBuilders.randomFunction(seed != null ? seed.intValue() : null)
+);
+```
+
+**Complex Filtering:**
+```java
+// Build bool query with multiple filter conditions
+BoolQueryBuilder boolQuery = QueryBuilders.boolQuery()
+    .must(QueryBuilders.multiMatchQuery(query, "title", "description", "authorName"))
+    .filter(QueryBuilders.termsQuery("tagNames", tags))
+    .filter(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("wordCount").gte(minWords).lte(maxWords))
+    .filter(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("rating").gte(minRating).lte(maxRating));
+```
+
+**Faceting/Aggregations:**
+```java
+// Tags aggregation
+AggregationBuilder tagsAgg = AggregationBuilders
+    .terms("tags")
+    .field("tagNames")
+    .size(100);
+
+// Rating ranges
+AggregationBuilder ratingRanges = AggregationBuilders
+    .range("rating_ranges")
+    .field("rating")
+    .addRange("unrated", 0, 1)
+    .addRange("low", 1, 3)
+    .addRange("high", 4, 6);
+```

+
+## Data Migration Strategy
+
+### Pre-Migration Validation
+
+**Data Integrity Checks:**
+1. Count validation: Ensure all stories/authors/collections are present
+2. Field validation: Verify all required fields are populated
+3. Relationship validation: Check author-story and series-story relationships
+4. Library separation: Ensure proper multi-library data isolation
+
+**Migration Process:**
+
+1. **Index Creation:**
+```java
+// Create indexes with proper mappings for each library
+for (Library library : libraries) {
+    String storiesIndex = "stories-" + library.getId();
+    createIndexWithMapping(storiesIndex, getStoriesMapping());
+    createIndexWithMapping("authors-" + library.getId(), getAuthorsMapping());
+    createIndexWithMapping("collections-" + library.getId(), getCollectionsMapping());
+}
+```
+
+2. **Bulk Data Loading:**
+```java
+// Load in batches to manage memory usage
+int batchSize = 1000;
+List<Story> allStories = storyService.findByLibraryId(libraryId);
+
+for (int i = 0; i < allStories.size(); i += batchSize) {
+    List<Story> batch = allStories.subList(i, Math.min(i + batchSize, allStories.size()));
+    List<StoryDocument> documents = batch.stream()
+        .map(this::convertToSearchDocument)
+        .collect(Collectors.toList());
+
+    bulkIndexStories(documents, "stories-" + libraryId);
+}
+```
+
+3. **Post-Migration Validation:**
+   - Count comparison between database and OpenSearch
+   - Spot-check random records for field accuracy
+   - Test search functionality with known queries
+   - Verify faceting counts match expected values
+
+### Rollback Strategy
+
+**Immediate Rollback Triggers:**
+- Search error rate > 1%
+- Query performance degradation > 50%
+- Data inconsistency detected
+- Memory usage > 4GB sustained
+
+**Rollback Process:**
+1. Update feature flag to disable OpenSearch
+2. Verify Typesense still operational
+3. Clear OpenSearch indexes to free resources
+4. Investigate and document issues
+
+**Data Consistency During Rollback:**
+- Continue dual-write during investigation
+- Re-sync any missed updates to OpenSearch
+- Validate data integrity before retry
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+**OpenSearchService Unit Tests:**
+```java
+@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
+class OpenSearchServiceTest {
+    @Mock private OpenSearchClient client;
+    @InjectMocks private OpenSearchService service;
+
+    @Test
+    void testSearchStoriesBasicQuery() {
+        // Mock OpenSearch response
+        // Test basic search functionality
+    }
+
+    @Test
+    void testComplexFilterQuery() {
+        // Test complex boolean query building
+    }
+
+    @Test
+    void testRandomStorySelection() {
+        // Test random query with seed
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Query Builder Tests:**
+- Test all 15+ filter conditions
+- Validate query structure and parameters
+- Test edge cases and null handling
+
+### Integration Tests

+    static OpenSearchContainer opensearch = new OpenSearchContainer("opensearchproject/opensearch:2.11.0");
+
+    @Test
+    void testEndToEndStorySearch() {
+        // Insert test data
+        // Perform search via controller
+        // Validate results
+    }
+}
+```
+

+## Conclusion
+
+This specification provides a comprehensive roadmap for migrating StoryCove from Typesense to OpenSearch. The phased approach ensures minimal risk while delivering improved reliability and performance, particularly for random story queries.
+
+The parallel implementation strategy allows for thorough validation and provides confidence in the migration while maintaining the ability to rollback if issues arise. Upon successful completion, StoryCove will have a more robust and scalable search infrastructure that better supports its growth and feature requirements.
+
+**Next Steps:**
+1. Review and approve this specification
+2. Set up development environment with OpenSearch
+3. Begin Phase 1 implementation
+4. Establish monitoring and success metrics
+5. Execute migration according to timeline

+# Portable Text Editor Setup Instructions
+
+## Current Status
+
+⚠️ **Temporarily Reverted to Original Editor**
+
+Due to npm cache permission issues preventing Docker builds, I've temporarily reverted the imports back to `RichTextEditor`. The Portable Text implementation is complete and ready to activate once the npm issue is resolved.
+
+## Files Ready for Portable Text
+
+- ✅ `PortableTextEditor.tsx` - Complete implementation
+- ✅ `schema.ts` - Portable Text schema
+- ✅ `conversion.ts` - HTML ↔ Portable Text conversion
+- ✅ `package.json.with-portabletext` - Updated dependencies
+
+## Docker Build Issue Resolution
+
+The error `npm ci` requires `package-lock.json` but npm cache permissions prevent generating it.
+
+### Solution Steps:
+
+1. **Fix npm permissions:**
+```bash
+sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
+```
+
+2. **Switch to Portable Text setup:**
+```bash
+cd frontend
+mv package.json package.json.original
+mv package.json.with-portabletext package.json
+npm install  # This will generate package-lock.json
+```
+
+3. **Update component imports** (change RichTextEditor → PortableTextEditor):
+```typescript
+// In src/app/add-story/page.tsx and src/app/stories/[id]/edit/page.tsx
+import PortableTextEditor from '../../components/stories/PortableTextEditor';
+// And update the JSX to use <PortableTextEditor ... />
+```
+
+4. **Build and test:**
+```bash
+npm run build
+docker-compose build
+```
+
+## Implementation Complete
+
+✅ **Portable Text Schema** - Defines formatting options matching the original editor
+✅ **HTML ↔ Portable Text Conversion** - Seamless conversion between formats
+✅ **Sanitization Integration** - Uses existing sanitization strategy
+✅ **Component Replacement** - PortableTextEditor replaces RichTextEditor
+✅ **Image Processing** - Maintains existing image processing functionality
+✅ **Toolbar** - All formatting buttons from original editor
+✅ **Keyboard Shortcuts** - Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, Ctrl+Shift+1-6
+
+## Features Maintained
+
+### 1. **Formatting Options**
+- Bold, Italic, Underline, Strike, Code
+- Headings H1-H6
+- Paragraphs and Blockquotes
+- All original toolbar buttons
+
+### 2. **Visual & HTML Modes**
+- Visual mode: Structured Portable Text editing
+- HTML mode: Direct HTML editing (fallback)
+- Live preview in HTML mode
+
+### 3. **Image Processing**
+- Existing image processing pipeline maintained
+- Background image download and conversion
+- Processing status indicators
+- Warning system
+
+### 4. **Paste Handling**
+- Rich text paste from websites
+- Image processing during paste
+- HTML sanitization
+- Structured content conversion
+
+### 5. **Maximization & Resizing**
+- Fullscreen editing mode
+- Resizable editor height
+- Keyboard shortcuts (Escape to exit)
+
+## Benefits of Portable Text
+
+1. **Structured Content** - Content is stored as JSON, not just HTML
+2. **Future-Proof** - Easy to export/migrate content
+3. **Better Search** - Structured content works better with Typesense
+4. **Extensible** - Easy to add custom block types (images, etc.)
+5. **Sanitization** - Inherently safer than HTML parsing
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Install the npm packages using one of the methods above
+2. Test the editor functionality
+3. Verify image processing works correctly
+4. Optional: Add custom image block types for enhanced image handling
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+frontend/src/
+├── components/stories/
+│   ├── PortableTextEditor.tsx      # New editor component
+│   └── RichTextEditor.tsx          # Original (can be removed after testing)
+├── lib/portabletext/
+│   ├── schema.ts                   # Portable Text schema and types
+│   └── conversion.ts               # HTML ↔ Portable Text conversion
+└── app/
+    ├── add-story/page.tsx          # Updated to use PortableTextEditor
+    └── stories/[id]/edit/page.tsx  # Updated to use PortableTextEditor
+```
+
+The implementation is backward compatible and maintains all existing functionality while providing the benefits of structured content editing.

+# OpenSearch Configuration - Best Practices Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This directory contains a production-ready OpenSearch configuration following industry best practices for security, scalability, and maintainability.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### 📁 Directory Structure
+```

+├── config/
+│   ├── opensearch-development.yml    # Development-specific settings
+│   └── opensearch-production.yml     # Production-specific settings

+│   └── index-lifecycle-policy.json   # ILM policy for index management
+└── README.md                         # This file
+```
+
+## ✅ Best Practices Implemented
+
+### 🔒 **Security**
+- **Environment-Aware SSL Configuration**
+  - Production: Full certificate validation with custom truststore support
+  - Development: Optional certificate validation for local development
+- **Proper Authentication**: Basic auth with secure credential management
+- **Connection Security**: TLS 1.3 support with hostname verification
+
+### 🏗️ **Configuration Management**
+- **Externalized Configuration**: JSON/YAML files instead of hardcoded values
+- **Environment-Specific Settings**: Different configs for dev/staging/prod
+- **Type-Safe Properties**: Strongly-typed configuration classes
+- **Validation**: Configuration validation at startup
+
+### 📈 **Scalability & Performance**
+- **Connection Pooling**: Configurable connection pool with timeout management
+- **Environment-Aware Sharding**:
+  - Development: 1 shard, 0 replicas (single node)
+  - Production: 3 shards, 1 replica (high availability)
+- **Bulk Operations**: Optimized bulk indexing with configurable batch sizes
+- **Index Templates**: Automatic application of settings to new indexes
+
+### 🔄 **Index Lifecycle Management**
+- **Automated Index Rollover**: Based on size, document count, and age
+- **Hot-Warm-Cold Architecture**: Optimized storage costs
+- **Retention Policies**: Automatic cleanup of old data
+- **Force Merge**: Optimization in warm phase
+
+### 📊 **Monitoring & Observability**
+- **Health Checks**: Automatic cluster health monitoring
+- **Spring Boot Actuator**: Health endpoints for monitoring systems
+- **Metrics Collection**: Configurable performance metrics
+- **Slow Query Detection**: Configurable thresholds for query performance
+
+### 🛡️ **Error Handling & Resilience**
+- **Connection Retry Logic**: Automatic retry with backoff
+- **Circuit Breaker Pattern**: Fail-fast for unhealthy clusters
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Graceful handling when OpenSearch unavailable
+- **Detailed Error Logging**: Comprehensive error tracking
+
+## 🚀 Usage
+
+### Development Environment
+```yaml
+# application-development.yml
+storycove:
+  opensearch:
+    profile: development
+    security:
+      ssl-verification: false
+      trust-all-certificates: true
+    indices:
+      default-shards: 1
+      default-replicas: 0
+```
+
+### Production Environment
+```yaml
+# application-production.yml
+storycove:
+  opensearch:
+    profile: production
+    security:
+      ssl-verification: true
+      trust-all-certificates: false
+      truststore-path: /etc/ssl/opensearch-truststore.jks
+    indices:
+      default-shards: 3
+      default-replicas: 1
+```
+
+## 📋 Environment Variables
+
+### Required
+- `OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD`: Admin password for OpenSearch cluster
+
+### Optional (with sensible defaults)
+- `OPENSEARCH_HOST`: Cluster hostname (default: localhost)
+- `OPENSEARCH_PORT`: Cluster port (default: 9200)
+- `OPENSEARCH_USERNAME`: Admin username (default: admin)
+- `OPENSEARCH_SSL_VERIFICATION`: Enable SSL verification (default: false for dev)
+- `OPENSEARCH_MAX_CONN_TOTAL`: Max connections (default: 30 for dev, 200 for prod)
+
+## 🎯 Index Templates
+
+Index templates automatically apply configuration to new indexes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "index_patterns": ["stories_*"],
+  "template": {
+    "settings": {
+      "number_of_shards": "#{ENV_SPECIFIC}",
+      "analysis": {
+        "analyzer": {
+          "story_analyzer": {
+            "type": "standard",
+            "stopwords": "_english_"
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 🔍 Health Monitoring
+
+Access health information:
+- **Application Health**: `/actuator/health`
+- **OpenSearch Specific**: `/actuator/health/opensearch`
+- **Detailed Metrics**: Available when `enable-metrics: true`
+
+## 🔄 Deployment Strategy
+
+Recommended deployment approach:
+
+1. **Development**: Test OpenSearch configuration locally
+2. **Staging**: Validate performance and accuracy in staging environment
+3. **Production**: Deploy with proper monitoring and backup procedures
+
+## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **SSL Certificate Errors**
+   - Development: Set `trust-all-certificates: true`
+   - Production: Provide valid truststore path
+
+2. **Connection Timeouts**
+   - Increase `connection.timeout` values
+   - Check network connectivity and firewall rules
+
+3. **Index Creation Failures**
+   - Verify cluster health with `/actuator/health/opensearch`
+   - Check OpenSearch logs for detailed error messages
+
+4. **Performance Issues**
+   - Monitor slow queries with configurable thresholds
+   - Adjust bulk operation settings
+   - Review shard allocation and replica settings
+
+## 🔮 Future Enhancements
+
+- **Multi-Cluster Support**: Connect to multiple OpenSearch clusters
+- **Advanced Security**: Integration with OpenSearch Security plugin
+- **Custom Analyzers**: Domain-specific text analysis
+- **Index Aliases**: Zero-downtime index updates
+- **Machine Learning**: Integration with OpenSearch ML features
+
+---
+
+This configuration provides a solid foundation that scales from development to enterprise production environments while maintaining security, performance, and operational excellence.
