# Story: Integrate Large Table Parsing into V2 Pipeline

**Status:** Done
**Epic:** V2 Pipeline Comprehensive Testing
**Priority:** High

---

## User Story

As a **data extraction operator**,
I want **the V2 pipeline to automatically detect and handle large Excel tables (>1000 rows)**,
So that **I can extract data from massive configuration files without manual intervention or system crashes**.

---

## Acceptance Criteria

### AC1: Automatic Large Table Detection
**Given** an Excel file is submitted for extraction
**When** a table has more than 1000 rows
**Then** the system automatically switches to the chunked processing strategy

### AC2: Header Normalization
**Given** a large table with multi-level headers (2-4 levels deep)
**When** the table is processed
**Then** headers are normalized with:
- Consecutive duplicates removed (from merged cells)
- Table name prefix stripped
- Clean hierarchy format: `Level1 > Level2 > Level3`

### AC3: Chunked Data Processing
**Given** a large table is being processed
**When** data rows are extracted
**Then** processing uses `iter_rows(values_only=True)` in chunks of 100 rows

### AC4: Output Format Compatibility
**Given** a large table is successfully extracted
**When** the extraction completes
**Then** output format matches standard V2 pipeline output (JSON with metadata, headers, data)

### AC5: Empty Row Handling
**Given** a table contains empty separator rows
**When** data is processed
**Then** empty rows are skipped and not included in output

### AC6: Performance Requirements
**Given** a table with 600K+ cells
**When** extraction is performed
**Then** processing completes in under 60 seconds

  - [x] 6.2 Add graceful fallback for missing dependencies

### Technical Summary

Integrate the proven large table parsing strategy (from `tests/manual/test_large_table_strategy.py`) into the production V2 extraction pipeline. The strategy uses:

1. **Border Detection** - Identify table boundaries without loading full content
2. **Header Extraction** - Extract first N rows to temp file for header detection
3. **Header Normalization** - Parse multi-level headers using HeaderExtractor
4. **Chunked Processing** - Process data rows efficiently using `iter_rows(values_only=True)`
5. **Structured Export** - Generate output compatible with V2 pipeline format

Key performance insight: `iter_rows(values_only=True)` is ~100x faster than cell-by-cell access.

### Project Structure Notes

- **Files to create:**
  - `src/extraction_v2/large_table_extractor.py` - Main extractor class

- **Files to modify:**
  - `src/extraction_v2/batch_extract_v2.py` - Add large table routing
  - `src/extraction_v2/detect_border.py` - Add size detection helpers

- **Expected test locations:**
  - `tests/unit/extraction_v2/test_large_table_extractor.py`
  - `tests/integration/test_large_table_pipeline.py`

- **Prerequisites:**
  - Border detection working (detect_border.py) ✅
  - Header extractor working (header_extractor.py) ✅
  - Test script validated (test_large_table_strategy.py) ✅
