dataCenter430 62a1333cf2 Feat: expose parent-child chunking configuration via HTTP API and Python SDK (#13940)
…
### What problem does this PR solve?

Closes #13857

Parent-child chunking was introduced in v0.23.0 but is only configurable
through the web UI. Users managing datasets programmatically cannot
enable it via the HTTP API or Python SDK because `ParserConfig` uses
`extra="forbid"`, rejecting the `children_delimiter` field at
validation.

### What does this PR change?

Adds a `parent_child` nested config to `ParserConfig`, following the
same pattern as `raptor` and `graphrag`:

```json
"parser_config": {
  "parent_child": {
    "use_parent_child": true,
    "children_delimiter": "\n"
  }
}
```

- api/utils/validation_utils.py — new ParentChildConfig model, added to
ParserConfig
- api/utils/api_utils.py — naive defaults + flatten to
children_delimiter for the execution layer
- api/apps/services/dataset_api_service.py — flatten on the update path
- test/testcases/configs.py — updated DEFAULT_PARSER_CONFIG
-
test/testcases/test_http_api/test_dataset_management/test_create_dataset.py
— 4 valid + 2 invalid test cases

No changes to the execution layer (rag/app/naive.py, rag/nlp/search.py).
Existing UI flow via ext is unaffected.

### Type of change

- [ ] Bug Fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [x] New Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added parent-child chunking configuration for dataset creation and
updates with new `use_parent_child` toggle and customizable
`children_delimiter` setting to specify how parent chunks are split into
child chunks.

* **Documentation**
* Updated HTTP and Python API references with parent-child chunking
configuration details and examples.

(1). Deploy RAGFlow services and images

https://ragflow.io/docs/build_docker_image

(2). Configure the required environment for testing

Install Python dependencies (including test dependencies):

uv sync --python 3.12 --only-group test --no-default-groups --frozen

Activate the environment:

source .venv/bin/activate

Install SDK:

uv pip install sdk/python 

Modify the .env file: Add the following code:

COMPOSE_PROFILES=${COMPOSE_PROFILES},tei-cpu
TEI_MODEL=BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5
RAGFLOW_IMAGE=infiniflow/ragflow:v0.24.0 #Replace with the image you are using

Start the containerwait two minutes:

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d


(3). Test Elasticsearch

a) Run sdk tests against Elasticsearch:

export HTTP_API_TEST_LEVEL=p2
export HOST_ADDRESS=http://127.0.0.1:9380  # Ensure that this port is the API port mapped to your localhost
pytest -s --tb=short --level=${HTTP_API_TEST_LEVEL} test/testcases/test_sdk_api 

b) Run http api tests against Elasticsearch:

pytest -s --tb=short --level=${HTTP_API_TEST_LEVEL} test/testcases/test_http_api 


(4). Test Infinity

Modify the .env file:

DOC_ENGINE=${DOC_ENGINE:-infinity}

Start the container:

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down -v 
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

a) Run sdk tests against Infinity:

DOC_ENGINE=infinity pytest -s --tb=short --level=${HTTP_API_TEST_LEVEL} test/testcases/test_sdk_api 

b) Run http api tests against Infinity:

DOC_ENGINE=infinity pytest -s --tb=short --level=${HTTP_API_TEST_LEVEL} test/testcases/test_http_api
