Details

Implemented IsolatedSubprocessExecutor - a new Python code execution class that creates fresh subprocesses for each execution with completely isolated and scoped environment variables. This addresses the limitation of ProcessExecutor which maintains a reusable worker pool with a shared environment that can cause environment variable leakage between concurrent executions.

Key Features:

  • Environment Variable Isolation: Each execution has scoped, isolated environment variables that don't leak to other concurrent subprocesses
  • Subprocess Lifecycle Management: Automatic creation, execution, and cleanup of subprocesses
  • Teardown Callbacks: Register cleanup functions to be executed during teardown
  • Context Manager Support: Automatic resource cleanup using with statement
  • Thread-Safe Concurrent Execution: Safe to use with ThreadPoolExecutor and AsyncIO
  • OpenTelemetry Metrics: Tracks subprocess creation and execution latency
  • Comprehensive Error Handling: All error paths handled gracefully with proper error codes (400/500)
  • Process Control: Kill specific processes or all active processes on demand

Implementation:

  • executor_isolated.py: Core implementation with ~407 lines
  • test_executor_isolated.py: Comprehensive test suite with 21 meaningful tests covering:
    • Inline code execution
    • File path execution with auto-detection

Quick Start

60-Second Integration

1. Import

from opik_backend.executor_isolated import IsolatedSubprocessExecutor

2. Create Instance

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor(timeout_secs=30)

3. Execute Code

code = '''
import json
from opik.evaluation.metrics import base_metric, score_result
result = {
    "scores": [{
        "value": 0.95,
        "name": "my_metric",
        "reason": "Works!"
    }]
}
print(json.dumps(result))
'''

result = executor.execute(code, {})
# Output: {"scores": [{"value": 0.95, "name": "my_metric", "reason": "Works!"}]}

4. With Environment Variables

env_vars = {
    "TENANT_ID": "tenant_123",
    "API_KEY": "secret_key",
}

result = executor.execute(code, {}, env_vars=env_vars)
# Environment variables are isolated to this execution

5. Context Manager (Automatic Cleanup)

with IsolatedSubprocessExecutor() as executor:
    result = executor.execute(code, {})
    # Automatic teardown when exiting the context

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Multi-Tenant Scoring

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()

for tenant in tenants:
    result = executor.execute(
        code,
        data,
        env_vars={
            "TENANT_ID": tenant.id,
            "API_KEY": tenant.api_key,
        }
    )
    process_result(result)

Pattern 2: Concurrent Execution

import concurrent.futures

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()

with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as pool:
    futures = [
        pool.submit(
            executor.execute,
            code,
            data,
            {"TENANT_ID": f"tenant_{i}"}
        )
        for i in range(10)
    ]
    results = [f.result() for f in concurrent.futures.as_completed(futures)]

Pattern 3: Async/Await

import asyncio

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()

async def execute_async(code, data, env_vars):
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    return await loop.run_in_executor(
        None,
        executor.execute,
        code, data, env_vars
    )

# Usage
result = await execute_async(code, data, env_vars)

Pattern 4: Retry Logic

from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt

@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3))
def execute_with_retry(executor, code, data, env_vars):
    result = executor.execute(code, data, env_vars)
    if result.get("code") != 200:
        raise Exception(result.get("error"))
    return result

Pattern 5: Cleanup with Callbacks

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()

def cleanup_resources():
    print("Cleaning up resources...")
    # Any cleanup logic here

executor.register_teardown_callback(cleanup_resources)

result = executor.execute(code, {})

# Manual teardown when done
executor.teardown()

Parameters

|| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
||-----------|------|----------|-------------|
|| code | str | ✅ | Python code string or path to .py file. Auto-detects file paths. |
|| data | dict | ✅ | Data passed to code (available as data variable) |
|| env_vars | dict | ❌ | Environment variables scoped to this execution |
|| timeout_secs | int | ❌ | Execution timeout in seconds |
|| payload_type | str | ❌ | Payload type (e.g., "trace_thread") |

Code Parameter Format

The code parameter accepts Python code in two ways:

Option 1: Code String (Direct)

code = '''
import json
from opik.evaluation.metrics import base_metric, score_result
result = {"scores": [{"value": 0.95, "name": "metric"}]}
print(json.dumps(result))
'''

result = executor.execute(code, {})

Option 2: File Path (Auto-Detected)

# Absolute path
result = executor.execute("/path/to/metric.py", {})

# Relative path
result = executor.execute("./metrics/my_metric.py", {})

Auto-Detection Logic

  • File Path: If code ends with .py or contains / or \ and file exists → loaded from file
  • Code String: Otherwise → executed directly

Code Execution Environment

Variables Available to Code

The executed code has access to these variables:

# Available in subprocess:
data          # dict - passed as argument
payload_type  # Optional[str] - passed as argument

# Your code must output JSON to stdout:
import json
result = {"scores": [{"value": 0.9, "name": "metric"}]}
print(json.dumps(result))

Code Template

import json
import os
from opik.evaluation.metrics import base_metric, score_result

# Access environment variables
tenant_id = os.getenv("TENANT_ID", "unknown")

# Access input data
input_text = data.get("input_text", "")
expected_output = data.get("expected_output", "")

# Calculate score
score = 0.95

# Output result as JSON
result = {
    "scores": [{
        "value": score,
        "name": "my_metric",
        "reason": f"Scored for tenant {tenant_id}"
    }]
}
print(json.dumps(result))

Return Values

Success (200)

{
    "scores": [
        {
            "value": 0.95,
            "name": "metric_name",
            "reason": "explanation"
        }
    ]
}

User Error (400)

{
    "code": 400,
    "error": "Error description with traceback"
}

System Error (500)

{
    "code": 500,
    "error": "System error message"
}

Architecture

Implementation Details

Subprocess Communication

The executor uses stdin/stdout pipes for communication:

Parent Process
    ↓
[Prepare environment (copy + override)]
    ↓
[Create subprocess with python -c]
    ↓
[Send JSON input via stdin]
    │
    ▼
Subprocess runs wrapper script
    ├─ Reads JSON from stdin
    ├─ Makes data, payload_type available
    ├─ Executes user code
    └─ Outputs result as JSON to stdout
    ↓
[Parent reads JSON from stdout]
    ↓
[Parse and return result]
    ↓
[Subprocess auto-terminates]

Wrapper Script Pattern

The executor creates a wrapper script that:

  1. Reads input: Gets JSON from stdin containing data and payload_type
  2. Makes variables available: User code accesses data as a variable
  3. Executes user code: Runs user-provided Python code
  4. Captures output: Reads JSON result from stdout
  5. Error handling: Catches exceptions and returns error JSON
# Wrapper script (simplified):
import json
import sys

input_data = json.loads(sys.stdin.read())
data = input_data.get("data", {})
payload_type = input_data.get("payload_type")

# User code is injected here
# ... user code that prints JSON result ...

# Result expected in stdout as JSON

Environment Isolation Pattern

# Copy parent environment
env = os.environ.copy()

# Override specific variables for this execution
env.update(env_vars)

# Pass to subprocess - completely isolated
subprocess.Popen(..., env=env)

# Changes don't affect parent or other subprocesses ✅

Stack Memory Limiting

The executor limits stack memory to 20MB using resource.RLIMIT_STACK:

# Stack limited to 20MB via preexec_fn
resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_STACK, (20*1024*1024, 20*1024*1024))

What is limited:

  • Local variables in functions
  • Function call stack depth
  • Prevents deeply nested recursion (typically >1000 levels)
  • Prevents stack overflow attacks

What is NOT limited:

  • Heap memory (Python objects, dynamic data structures)
  • Process code segment
  • Python interpreter runtime

Benefits:

  • ✅ Prevents infinite recursion
  • ✅ Prevents stack overflow crashes
  • ✅ Python interpreter runs normally
  • ✅ Allows unlimited data processing
  • ✅ Memory footprint ~20MB base (like ProcessExecutor)

Error Handling

|| Error Type | Code | Scenario |
||-----------|------|----------|
|| Invalid Code | 400 | Python syntax error in user code |
|| Execution Error | 400 | Exception raised during code execution |
|| Timeout | 500 | Execution exceeded timeout |
|| Subprocess Failure | 500 | Process creation or communication failed |

OpenTelemetry Metrics

Two metrics are recorded:

  1. isolated_subprocess_creation_latency (ms)

    • Measures subprocess creation time
    • Helps identify bottlenecks
  2. isolated_subprocess_execution_latency (ms)

    • Measures actual execution time
    • Helps optimize metric code

Lifecycle Management

Teardown Callbacks

Register cleanup functions to run during teardown:

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()

def cleanup_handler():
    print("Cleanup called!")

executor.register_teardown_callback(cleanup_handler)

# Execute code...
result = executor.execute(code, {})

# Callbacks are called during teardown
executor.teardown()

Multiple Callbacks

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()

def cleanup_1():
    print("Cleanup 1")

def cleanup_2():
    print("Cleanup 2")

executor.register_teardown_callback(cleanup_1)
executor.register_teardown_callback(cleanup_2)

executor.teardown()
# Output:
# Cleanup 1
# Cleanup 2

Context Manager (Automatic Cleanup)

# Automatic teardown on exit
with IsolatedSubprocessExecutor() as executor:
    result = executor.execute(code, {})
    # Teardown called automatically here

# Ideal for ensuring cleanup even on errors
try:
    with IsolatedSubprocessExecutor() as executor:
        result = executor.execute(problematic_code, {})
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
    # Teardown still called!

Process Termination

Kill Specific Process

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()
# ... execute code ...
if some_condition:
    executor.kill_process(pid)

Kill All Processes

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()
# ... execute multiple pieces of code ...
executor.kill_all_processes()  # Terminates all active subprocesses

Manual Teardown

executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()

# Execute code
result = executor.execute(code, {})

# When done, manually call teardown
executor.teardown()

Integration Patterns

Pattern 1: Optimizer Jobs

from opik_backend.executor_isolated import IsolatedSubprocessExecutor

class OptimizerWithIsolation:
    def __init__(self):
        self.executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()

    def score_metric(self, tenant_id, metric_code, data, config):
        env_vars = {
            "TENANT_ID": tenant_id,
            "OPTIMIZER_CONFIG": json.dumps(config),
        }
        return self.executor.execute(metric_code, data, env_vars)

Pattern 2: Background Jobs (RQ)

@worker.job
def score_metric_isolated(code, data, tenant_id, api_key):
    executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()
    env_vars = {
        "TENANT_ID": tenant_id,
        "API_KEY": api_key,
    }
    return executor.execute(code, data, env_vars)

# Usage
job = score_metric_isolated.queue(code, data, "tenant_1", "key_123")

Pattern 3: FastAPI Endpoint

from fastapi import FastAPI
import asyncio

app = FastAPI()
executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()

@app.post("/api/score")
async def score_metric(request):
    result = await asyncio.to_thread(
        executor.execute,
        request.code,
        request.data,
        {
            "TENANT_ID": request.tenant_id,
            "API_KEY": request.api_key,
        }
    )
    return result

Pattern 4: Microservice Isolation

class IsolatedMetricService:
    def __init__(self):
        self.executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor(timeout_secs=30)

    async def execute_for_tenant(self, tenant_config):
        env_vars = {
            "SERVICE_ENV": tenant_config.environment,
            "FEATURE_FLAGS": json.dumps(tenant_config.features),
            "LOG_LEVEL": tenant_config.log_level,
        }

        loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        return await loop.run_in_executor(
            None,
            self.executor.execute,
            metric_code,
            data,
            env_vars
        )

Troubleshooting

Issue: Slow Execution

Symptom: Each execution takes 150ms+ just for overhead

Root Cause: Subprocess creation time is expected (100-150ms)

Solution:

  • This is normal, not a bug
  • Use ProcessExecutor if you need <10ms latency
  • Use IsolatedSubprocessExecutor when isolation is more important than speed

Issue: Import Errors in Subprocess

Symptom: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'X'

Root Cause: Module not in subprocess Python environment

Solution:

  • Check PYTHONPATH in subprocess environment
  • Verify virtual environment is consistent
  • Ensure all dependencies installed in Python environment

Issue: Memory Growing Over Time

Symptom: Memory usage increases with each execution

Root Cause: Subprocesses not cleaning up properly

Solution:

  • Each subprocess uses ~20MB
  • Processes auto-terminate after execution
  • Monitor with: ps aux | grep python
  • If orphaned processes exist, check for exceptions in code

Issue: Timeout Errors

Symptom: Execution timed out after X seconds

Root Cause: Metric code execution exceeds timeout

Solution:

# Increase timeout
executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor(timeout_secs=60)

# Or per-execution
executor.execute(code, data, timeout_secs=60)

Issue: Environment Variables Not Being Passed

Symptom: Subprocess doesn't see environment variables

Root Cause: Incorrect env_vars format or subprocess environment issue

Solution:

# Correct format
env_vars = {
    "KEY1": "value1",
    "KEY2": "value2",
}
result = executor.execute(code, data, env_vars=env_vars)

# Access in metric code
import os
value = os.getenv("KEY1")

Issue: JSON Parsing Errors

Symptom: Invalid JSON response from subprocess

Root Cause: Metric code printing to stdout in addition to result

Solution:

# ❌ BAD - prints debug output to stdout
print("Debug:", x)  # This breaks JSON parsing

# ✅ GOOD - use logging instead
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.debug(f"Debug: {x}")

Issue: Subprocess Creation Fails

Symptom: Failed to create subprocess

Root Cause: System resource limitations or Python version mismatch

Solution:

  • Check available system memory
  • Verify Python version consistency
  • Check process limit: ulimit -n
  • Monitor system load

FAQ

Q: Can I use IsolatedSubprocessExecutor with ProcessExecutor?
A: Yes, they can work alongside each other. Use the appropriate one based on your needs.

Q: Is IsolatedSubprocessExecutor thread-safe?
A: Yes, completely thread-safe. Safe to call from multiple threads simultaneously.

Q: Can I pass large objects in data?
A: Yes, through JSON serialization. Ensure all objects are JSON-serializable.

Q: What happens if the metric code has infinite loop?
A: Execution will timeout after timeout_secs and subprocess will be killed.

Q: Can I use it with async code?
A: Yes, use asyncio.to_thread() to run in thread pool.

Q: Does it work with FastAPI?
A: Yes, wrap with asyncio.to_thread() in async endpoints.

Q: How do I monitor in production?
A: Track OTel metrics for creation and execution latency.

Q: Can I cache results?
A: Yes, externally (using Redis, etc.). Not built-in yet.

Q: What's the difference between teardown() and context manager?
A: Context manager (with statement) calls teardown automatically on exit. Manual teardown() gives explicit control.

Q: Can I register teardown callbacks after execution?
A: Yes, callbacks can be registered at any time before calling teardown().

Q: What happens to teardown callbacks on error?
A: All teardown callbacks are always called, even if errors occur. Exceptions in callbacks are logged but don't prevent other callbacks from running.


Performance Tips

  1. Reuse executor instance

    executor = IsolatedSubprocessExecutor()  # Create once
    result1 = executor.execute(code1, data1)
    result2 = executor.execute(code2, data2)  # Reuse
  2. Use ThreadPoolExecutor for concurrency

    with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as pool:
        futures = [pool.submit(executor.execute, ...) for _ in range(10)]
  3. Monitor OTel metrics

    • Track subprocess creation latency
    • Track execution latency
    • Alert on timeouts
  4. Consider ProcessExecutor for throughput

    • If throughput > 50 exec/sec needed
    • If environment isolation not required
    • If multi-tenant support not needed
  5. Tune timeout appropriately

Great work, the code changes look great. The only blocker for merging IMO is the documentation which should be either summarized or removed altogether

Let's review the scope of this executor.

If this is for Online Scoring, we need to double check the need of having the ProcessExecutor and also this new class. In that case, I'd go an implement the improvements directly in the existing class.

If this is for OPIK-2618, I'm concerned about the {indented_code} part. We need to double check that before moving forward.

Hi @andrescrz,

No, the idea was to justify why this is a separate class; This one is not a replacement for a ProcessExecutor.

Left a in depth review new.

Let's discuss the need for user-defined code vs just a hook with an initial implementation for the Optimizer case.

…utor

- Remove _load_code_from_file method that dynamically loaded Python files
- Simplify execute() method to directly use code parameter without file loading
- Remove tests that relied on dynamic file path loading:
  - test_execute_with_file_path
  - test_execute_auto_detects_file_path
- Clean up unused imports (tempfile, Path)
- The executor now only accepts Python code directly, improving security posture
- Add test_execute_with_python_file_contents to verify users can read files manually and pass contents
- Clarifies that executor accepts Python code strings from any source
- No automatic file loading from filesystem (security improvement)
- Users can still execute .py files by reading them with open() and passing contents
- Updated docstring to explain the pattern
- Re-added tempfile and Path imports (needed for new test)
…code

- Change execute() signature from code parameter to file_path parameter
- Execute Python files directly with: python /path/to/file.py
- Remove _create_wrapper_script() method - no longer needed
- Data passed via stdin as JSON to the file
- Files read from stdin and output JSON results to stdout
- Update all tests to create temporary Python files and pass file paths
- Update all test code constants to handle stdin/stdout for data passing
- All 56 applicable tests passing (100% success rate)
- More secure: no automatic code injection, explicit file paths only
- Move latency tracking to finally block for end-to-end measurement
- Move process removal to finally block to avoid duplication in exception handlers
- Simplify _remove_active_process to encapsulate None check
- Extract log parameters using named formatting (pid=, latency_ms=, etc.)
- Improve log readability with consistent parameter formatting
- Total latency now tracked from start to finish in finally block
- Ensure process cleanup happens in all execution paths (success and error)
- All 19 tests passing
