Description of proposed changes
pandas's
isin(set)
converts the set into a list, making each value check scale linearly with the size of the set. In the usage here, it's unfortunate because the size of the set grows with each metadata chunk processed. That means the entire operation scales with(size of chunk * size of metadata)
.Do the equivalent but much faster by first making a set from the current chunk's index then intersecting that with the set of previously seen IDs. This is faster because both of these steps scale linearly with the size of the chunk, not the size of the metadata, meaning the entire operation scales with
(2 * size of chunk)
