Andrew Chen 99a77a574e fix(metadata): discover ES fields after sparse table chunks (#16949)
### What problem does this PR solve?

When a table dataset's `field_map` is missing or stale,
`aggregate_table_doc_metadata` falls back to probing chunk dictionaries
for each column's Elasticsearch field key. It currently performs that
probe only once, against the first dictionary chunk, and caches `(None,
"none")` if the field is absent there.

Sparse table rows commonly omit empty columns. If the first row has no
`notes` field but a later row contains `notes_raw`, the cached miss
causes every later row to be skipped and the document-level `notes`
metadata is silently lost. The result depends only on row order:

```python
chunks = [{}, {"notes_raw": "Handle with care"}]
aggregate_table_doc_metadata(chunks, task)           # before: {}
aggregate_table_doc_metadata(list(reversed(chunks)), task)
# before: {"notes": ["Handle with care"]}
```

This was also identified in CodeRabbit's review of the merged
table-metadata implementation in #15780, but remained unfixed after that
PR merged:
https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/pull/15780#pullrequestreview-4448490676

### Type of change

- [x] Bug Fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

### Fix

When the initial lookup found no key for a column, retry the existing
`_resolve_es_chunk_field_key` against the current chunk. Cache the first
successful resolution so subsequent rows retain the existing fast path.
Field-map-backed columns and columns found in the first chunk are
unchanged.

### Testing

- Added `test_aggregate_auto_mode_probes_later_sparse_chunks` with an
empty first row and a populated second row.
- Confirmed red→green: before the fix the assertion received `{}`; after
the fix it receives `{"notes": ["Handle with care"]}`.
- Full existing `test_table_metadata_aggregation.py`: **15 passed**.
- `ruff check` and `ruff format --check`: clean.
- `compileall` for both changed files: clean.

The local test environment did not contain the repository's full service
dependency set and had a corrupt pre-existing NLTK `wordnet.zip`. The
test module does not use those services or corpora, so the run stubbed
only `common.settings` engine flags, `json_repair`, and the global
conftest's NLTK resource lookup; the production module and aggregation
tests themselves ran unchanged.

### Duplicate-work check

Checked all currently open PRs (including changed file paths) and found
none touching `rag/utils/table_es_metadata.py` or its aggregation test.
The earlier #15780 review is historical context, not active competing
work.

### Disclosure

AI-assisted (Codex): the candidate came from an AI-assisted review
queue. I independently reproduced the order-dependent data loss against
the real module, checked the historical review and all open PR file
paths, and ran the regression plus full existing test file before
submitting.

(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 3.13 --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:v0.26.4 #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
