⚡️ Speed up method _FilterToGRPC.convert by 42%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 42% (0.42x) speedup for _FilterToGRPC.convert in weaviate/collections/filters.py

⏱️ Runtime : 11.5 microseconds → 8.09 microseconds (best of 10 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces isinstance() calls with faster type() comparisons in two key locations:

Primary optimization in convert() method:

• Changed isinstance(weav_filter, _FilterValue) to type(weav_filter) is _FilterValue
• This eliminates the overhead of inheritance checking since we're testing for exact type matches
• Line profiler shows this reduces time from 195,560ns to 71,439ns (63% faster) for the type check

Secondary optimization in __and_or_not_filter() method:

• Replaced multiple isinstance() calls with type(weav_filter) in (_FilterAnd, _FilterOr, _FilterNot)
• Using type() with tuple membership testing is more efficient than chained isinstance() calls
• The assert statement time drops from 116,741ns to 106,142ns (9% improvement)

Why this works:

• isinstance() performs inheritance hierarchy traversal and multiple internal checks
• type() returns the exact type directly without inheritance checking
• Tuple membership testing with in is optimized at the C level in Python
• Since the code only needs exact type matching (not subclass compatibility), type() is the optimal choice

The optimization is particularly effective for filter-heavy workloads where type checking occurs frequently, as evidenced by the 42% overall speedup and consistent improvements across test cases ranging from 20-51% faster.
