This pull request changes the behavior of merge_edges when encountering an edge with source or target nodes that do not exist in the knowledge graph. Previously, it would create placeholder 'UNKNOWN' nodes. The new implementation logs a warning and skips merging the edge entirely. This change also removes logic that had a bug in calculating the length of these placeholder nodes. The new approach of ignoring edges with missing nodes is cleaner and avoids polluting the graph with incomplete 'UNKNOWN' entities.

Summary of Changes

Hello @ChenZiHong-Gavin, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines the behavior of the knowledge graph builder when encountering edges with undefined source or target nodes. The change moves away from automatically generating placeholder 'UNKNOWN' nodes for missing entities. Instead, it prioritizes data integrity by logging a warning and preventing the creation of edges that do not have both endpoints explicitly defined within the graph. This ensures that only well-formed and complete relationships are added to the knowledge graph.

Highlights

  • Node Handling for Edges: The logic for handling missing source or target nodes when merging edges has been updated. Previously, if a node did not exist, it would be automatically created as an 'UNKNOWN' node.
  • Edge Merging Behavior: Instead of creating 'UNKNOWN' nodes, the system now checks for the existence of both source and target nodes. If either is missing, a warning is logged, and the edge merge operation is skipped, returning an empty dictionary.

The return type of this function (dict) is inconsistent with its definition in the base class BaseKGBuilder, where merge_edges is annotated to return None. This violates the Liskov Substitution Principle. While this is a pre-existing issue, it's good practice to ensure method signatures are consistent in an inheritance hierarchy. It is recommended to create a follow-up task to update the base class method's return type to dict to resolve this inconsistency.
