Advanced Optimization Techniques for Firestore

When dealing with large-scale Firestore applications, advanced optimization techniques can significantly enhance performance and reduce costs. Below are detailed strategies including hierarchical data sharding, adaptive indexing, and predictive data prefetching.

# Hierarchical Data Sharding

Hierarchical data sharding helps distribute large datasets evenly across multiple collections to avoid performance bottlenecks. This method splits data into manageable chunks based on a hierarchical structure.

Hierarchical Sharding Implementation

Shard Path Generation

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

const int SHARD_LEVELS = 3;
const int SHARDS_PER_LEVEL = 10;

String getShardPath(String id) {
  String path = 'root';
  for (int i = 0; i < SHARD_LEVELS; i++) {
    int shardId = (int.parse(id.substring(i * 2, i * 2 + 2), radix: 16)) ~/
        (256 ~/ SHARDS_PER_LEVEL);
    path += '/shard_${i}_$shardId';
  }
  return '$path/$id';
}

Setting Data in Shards

Future<void> setShardedDoc(String id, Map<String, dynamic> data) async {
  String path = getShardPath(id);
  DocumentReference docRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance.doc(path);
  await docRef.set(data);
}

Querying Sharded Collections

Future<List<Map<String, dynamic>>> queryShardedCollection(List<Query> conditions) async {
  List<Map<String, dynamic>> results = [];
  for (int i = 0; i < SHARDS_PER_LEVEL; i++) {
    Query query = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('root/shard_0_$i');
    for (var condition in conditions) {
      query = query.where(condition);
    }
    QuerySnapshot querySnapshot = await query.get();
    results.addAll(querySnapshot.docs.map((doc) => doc.data() as Map<String, dynamic>));
  }
  return results;
}

Explanation

• Hierarchical Path Generation: getShardPath creates a path based on hierarchical levels to distribute data.
• Data Distribution: setShardedDoc stores documents in the appropriate shard.
• Querying: queryShardedCollection retrieves data from all shards, combining results.

# Adaptive Indexing

Adaptive indexing adjusts Firestore indexes based on query patterns, optimizing read performance by ensuring only frequently used fields are indexed.

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

const int INDEX_THRESHOLD = 100;
const int INDEX_EXPIRY = 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // 7 days in milliseconds

Future<void> trackQueryField(String field) async {
  DocumentReference statsRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance.doc('queryStats/$field');
  DocumentSnapshot statsDoc = await statsRef.get();

  if (statsDoc.exists) {
    await statsRef.update({
      'count': FieldValue.increment(1),
      'lastUsed': DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch
    });
  } else {
    await statsRef.set({
      'count': 1,
      'lastUsed': DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch
    });
  }

  if (statsDoc.exists && (statsDoc.data() as Map)['count'] >= INDEX_THRESHOLD) {
    // Trigger index creation (typically via Firebase Admin SDK or Cloud Functions)
    print('Index creation needed for field: $field');
  }
}

Cleanup Old Indexes

Future<void> cleanupIndexes() async {
  QuerySnapshot statsSnapshot = await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('queryStats').get();
  int now = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch;

  for (var doc in statsSnapshot.docs) {
    int lastUsed = (doc.data() as Map)['lastUsed'];
    if (now - lastUsed > INDEX_EXPIRY) {
      // Trigger index removal (typically via Firebase Admin SDK or Cloud Functions)
      print('Index removal needed for field: ${doc.id}');
      await doc.reference.delete();
    }
  }
}

Explanation

• Track Usage: trackQueryField logs how often a field is queried, triggering index creation for frequently used fields.
• Index Cleanup: cleanupIndexes removes indexes that haven't been used recently.

# Predictive Data Prefetching

Predictive data prefetching uses machine learning to anticipate which documents a user might access next, caching these documents in advance for quicker access.

Load Predictive Model

import 'package:tflite_flutter/tflite_flutter.dart';

Interpreter? model;

Future<void> loadPredictiveModel() async {
  model = await Interpreter.fromAsset('model.tflite');
}

Predict Next Access

Future<int> predictNextAccess(List<double> userBehavior) async {
  if (model == null) return -1;

  var input = [userBehavior];
  var output = List.filled(1, 0).reshape([1, 1]);

  model!.run(input, output);
  
  return output[0][0].toInt();  // Predicted document ID
}

Prefetch Data

Future<void> prefetchData(String userId) async {
  List<double> userBehavior = await getUserBehavior(userId); // Custom function to fetch user behavior data
  int predictedDocId = await predictNextAccess(userBehavior);

  if (predictedDocId != -1) {
    DocumentReference docRef = FirebaseFirestore.instance.doc('predictedCollection/$predictedDocId');
    await docRef.get();  // This will cache the document for quicker access
  }
}

Explanation

• Load Model: loadPredictiveModel initializes the machine learning model.
• Predict Access: predictNextAccess uses the model to predict which document to prefetch.
• Prefetch Data: prefetchData retrieves predicted documents in advance to improve user experience.

# Event Sourcing with Firestore

Event Sourcing is a pattern where all changes to an application’s state are stored as a sequence of events. This approach is ideal for applications with high write volumes where a complete history of changes is essential.

Implementing Event Sourcing in Flutter

Append Event

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

Future<void> appendEvent(String aggregateId, String eventType, Map<String, dynamic> eventData) async {
  await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('events').add({
    'aggregateId': aggregateId,
    'type': eventType,
    'data': eventData,
    'timestamp': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
  });
}

Reconstruct Aggregate

Stream<Map<String, dynamic>> reconstructAggregate(String aggregateId) {
  return FirebaseFirestore.instance
      .collection('events')
      .where('aggregateId', isEqualTo: aggregateId)
      .orderBy('timestamp')
      .snapshots()
      .map((snapshot) {
    Map<String, dynamic> aggregate = {};
    for (var doc in snapshot.docs) {
      final event = doc.data();
      // Apply event to aggregate (implement your event handlers here)
      aggregate = applyEvent(aggregate, event);
    }
    return aggregate;
  });
}

// Implement your own applyEvent function based on event types
Map<String, dynamic> applyEvent(Map<String, dynamic> aggregate, Map<String, dynamic> event) {
  // Example event handler
  if (event['type'] == 'CREATE') {
    aggregate[event['data']['id']] = event['data'];
  }
  return aggregate;
}

Explanation

• Append Event: appendEvent logs every change as an event in the events collection.
• Reconstruct Aggregate: reconstructAggregate reconstructs the current state by applying all events in order.
• Apply Event: applyEvent applies each event to the aggregate. Customize this based on your specific event types.

# QRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation)

CQRS separates the operations that modify data (commands) from those that query data (queries). This separation can simplify the logic for each operation and improve performance by optimizing read and write models separately.

Implementing CQRS in Flutter

Write Model

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

// Write model
Future<String> createOrder(Map<String, dynamic> orderData) async {
  DocumentReference orderRef = await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('orders').add(orderData);
  await updateReadModel(orderRef.id, orderData);
  return orderRef.id;
}

Read Model Updater

Future<void> updateReadModel(String orderId, Map<String, dynamic> orderData) async {
  final readModelData = transformForReadModel(orderData);
  await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('orderReadModel').doc(orderId).set(readModelData);
}

Map<String, dynamic> transformForReadModel(Map<String, dynamic> orderData) {
  // Transform the orderData into the format needed for the read model
  return {
    'orderId': orderData['orderId'],
    'total': orderData['total'],
    'status': orderData['status']
  };
}

Read Model Query

Future<Map<String, dynamic>?> getOrderDetails(String orderId) async {
  DocumentSnapshot docSnap = await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('orderReadModel').doc(orderId).get();
  return docSnap.data();
}

Explanation

• Create Order: createOrder writes to the orders collection and updates the read model.
• Update Read Model: updateReadModel transforms order data and updates the read model.
• Get Order Details: getOrderDetails queries the read model to fetch order details.

# Bleeding-Edge Firestore Features

Firestore Bundles

Firestore Bundles allow you to prepackage and cache query results for faster initial loading. This feature helps reduce load times by serving pre-bundled data.

Creating and Storing Bundles

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

// On the server (Node.js or other server-side implementation)
const String BUNDLE_NAME = 'latest-posts';

Future<void> createAndStoreBundle() async {
  final firestore = FirebaseFirestore.instance;

  final bundle = firestore.bundle(BUNDLE_NAME);
  final query = firestore.collection('posts').orderBy('date', descending: true).limit(10);
  bundle.add(BUNDLE_NAME, query);
  
  final bundleBuffer = await bundle.build();
  // Save bundleBuffer to a CDN or serve it with your app
}

Loading Bundles in Client

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

Future<void> loadLatestPosts() async {
  final firestore = FirebaseFirestore.instance;

  final bundleBuffer = await fetchBundleBufferFromServer(); // Fetch the bundle from CDN or server
  await firestore.loadBundle(bundleBuffer);

  final query = firestore.namedQuery(BUNDLE_NAME);
  final snapshot = await firestore.getDocsFromCache(query);

  // Use the data from snapshot
  final posts = snapshot.docs.map((doc) => doc.data()).toList();
}

Future<Uint8List> fetchBundleBufferFromServer() async {
  // Implement this function to fetch the bundle from your CDN or server
}

Explanation

• Create and Store Bundle: createAndStoreBundle packages query results into a bundle and saves it for later use.
• Load Latest Posts: loadLatestPosts fetches the bundle from the server, loads it into Firestore, and uses cached data for quick access.

Firestore Aggregation Queries (Preview Feature)

Aggregation Queries allow you to perform complex data analysis directly within Firestore, such as calculating sums, averages, and counts.

Performing Aggregation Queries

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

Future<Map<String, dynamic>> getProductStats(String category) async {
  final firestore = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
  final productsRef = firestore.collection('products');

  final query = productsRef.where('category', isEqualTo: category);

  final snapshot = await firestore.getAggregateFromServer(query, {
    'totalProducts': count(),
    'averagePrice': average('price'),
    'totalRevenue': sum('price')
  });

  return snapshot.data();
}

Explanation

• Aggregation Queries: Use aggregation queries to compute metrics like total counts, averages, and sums directly within Firestore, reducing the need for additional processing outside of Firestore.

Custom Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is essential for understanding the efficiency of specific operations and identifying bottlenecks. Firebase Performance Monitoring helps with this.

Implementing Custom Performance Monitoring in Flutter

Performance Monitor Class

import 'package:firebase_performance/firebase_performance.dart';

class PerformanceMonitor {
  static Future<T> trackOperation<T>(String name, Future<T> Function() operation) async {
    final trace = FirebasePerformance.instance.newTrace(name);
    trace.start();
    try {
      final result = await operation();
      trace.putAttribute('status', 'success');
      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      trace.putAttribute('status', 'error');
      trace.putAttribute('error_message', error.toString());
      rethrow;
    } finally {
      trace.stop();
    }
  }
}

// Usage
final result = await PerformanceMonitor.trackOperation('fetch_user_data', () async {
  // Your fetchUserData implementation here
});

Explanation

• trackOperation: Wraps an asynchronous operation in a trace to monitor its execution time and status.
• Usage: Call trackOperation with a name and operation function to get performance data.

2. Automated Performance Testing

Automated performance testing ensures that your application meets performance benchmarks. Firebase Test Lab can be used for more comprehensive testing.

Example of Local Performance Testing

import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'package:firebase_test_lab/firebase_test_lab.dart';

void main() async {
  await Firebase.initializeApp();
  final testLab = FirebaseTestLab();

  group('Performance Tests', () {
    setUp(() async {
      await testLab.initializeTestEnvironment();
    });

    test('Write 1000 documents in less than 10 seconds', () async {
      final db = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
      final start = DateTime.now();

      final batch = db.batch();
      for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
        final docRef = db.collection('performanceTest').doc();
        batch.set(docRef, {'field': 'value'});
      }
      await batch.commit();

      final end = DateTime.now();
      expect(end.difference(start).inSeconds, lessThan(10));
    });

    tearDown(() async {
      await testLab.cleanup();
    });
  });
}

Explanation

• Local Performance Testing: Measures the time to perform a batch operation and verifies that it completes within the specified time.

Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures in Firestore

1. Trie (Prefix Tree) Implementation

A Trie is an efficient data structure for string search operations, such as prefix matching.

Adding Words to the Trie

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

// Adding a word to the Trie
Future<void> addWord(String word) async {
  var current = '';
  for (var i = 0; i < word.length; i++) {
    current += word[i];
    await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('trie').doc(current).set({
      'isEnd': i == word.length - 1,
      'word': current,
    }, SetOptions(merge: true));
  }
}

Searching for Words with a Prefix

Future<List<String>> searchPrefix(String prefix) async {
  final results = <String>[];
  final prefixDoc = await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('trie').doc(prefix).get();

  if (prefixDoc.exists) {
    final query = FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('trie')
      .where('word', isGreaterThanOrEqualTo: prefix)
      .where('word', isLessThan: prefix + 'z')
      .where('isEnd', isEqualTo: true)
      .orderBy('word')
      .limit(10);

    final querySnapshot = await query.get();
    for (var doc in querySnapshot.docs) {
      results.add(doc.data()['word']);
    }
  }

  return results;
}

// Usage
await addWord('firebase');
await addWord('firestore');
final results = await searchPrefix('fire');
print(results); // ['firebase', 'firestore']

Explanation

• Adding Words: Stores each prefix of the word in Firestore, marking the end of the word.
• Searching Prefix: Retrieves all words with a given prefix by querying the Trie collection.

2. Graph Data Structure and Dijkstra’s Algorithm

Graphs represent relationships between nodes, and Dijkstra’s Algorithm finds the shortest path between nodes.

Adding Nodes to the Graph

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

// Adding a node to the graph
Future<void> addNode(String nodeId, Map<String, int> edges) async {
  await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('graph').doc(nodeId).set({'edges': edges});
}

Dijkstra’s Algorithm

import 'package:priority_queue/priority_queue.dart';

// Dijkstra's Algorithm
Future<List<String>> dijkstra(String startNode, String endNode) async {
  final distances = <String, int>{};
  final previous = <String, String>{};
  final pq = PriorityQueue<String>();

  distances[startNode] = 0;
  pq.add(startNode, 0);

  while (pq.isNotEmpty) {
    final current = pq.removeFirst();
    
    if (current == endNode) {
      return _reconstructPath(previous, endNode);
    }

    final nodeDoc = await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection('graph').doc(current).get();
    final edges = Map<String, int>.from(nodeDoc.data()!['edges']);

    for (final neighbor in edges.keys) {
      final distance = (distances[current] ?? double.infinity) + edges[neighbor]!;
      if (distance < (distances[neighbor] ?? double.infinity)) {
        distances[neighbor] = distance;
        previous[neighbor] = current;
        pq.add(neighbor, distance);
      }
    }
  }

  return [];
}

List<String> _reconstructPath(Map<String, String> previous, String endNode) {
  final path = <String>[];
  var current = endNode;
  while (current != null) {
    path.insert(0, current);
    current = previous[current];
  }
  return path;
}

// Usage
await addNode('A', {'B': 4, 'C': 2});
await addNode('B', {'D': 3});
await addNode('C', {'B': 1, 'D': 5});
await addNode('D', {});
final shortestPath = await dijkstra('A', 'D');
print(shortestPath); // ['A', 'C', 'B', 'D']

Explanation

• Adding Nodes: Stores nodes and their edges in Firestore.
• Dijkstra’s Algorithm: Finds the shortest path between nodes using the graph stored in Firestore.

3. Implementing a Distributed Queue

A distributed queue ensures reliable task processing across distributed systems.

Distributed Queue Implementation

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

class DistributedQueue {
  final CollectionReference _queueRef;

  DistributedQueue(FirebaseFirestore db, String queueName)
      : _queueRef = db.collection(queueName);

  Future<void> enqueue(String item) async {
    await _queueRef.add({
      'item': item,
      'timestamp': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
    });
  }

  Future<String?> dequeue() async {
    final query = _queueRef.orderBy('timestamp').limit(1);
    final querySnapshot = await query.get();

    if (querySnapshot.docs.isEmpty) {
      return null;
    }

    final doc = querySnapshot.docs.first;
    final item = doc.data()['item'];
    await doc.reference.delete();
    return item;
  }

  Future<String?> peek() async {
    final query = _queueRef.orderBy('timestamp').limit(1);
    final querySnapshot = await query.get();

    if (querySnapshot.docs.isEmpty) {
      return null;
    }

    return querySnapshot.docs.first.data()['item'];
  }
}

// Usage
final queue = DistributedQueue(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'taskQueue');
await queue.enqueue('Task 1');
await queue.enqueue('Task 2');
final nextTask = await queue.dequeue();
print(nextTask); // 'Task 1'

Explanation

• Enqueue: Adds items to the queue with a timestamp.
• Dequeue: Retrieves and removes the oldest item from the queue.
• Peek: Retrieves the oldest item without removing it.

4. Implementing a Distributed Lock

A distributed lock ensures that only one instance of a process accesses a shared resource at a time.

Distributed Lock Implementation

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

class DistributedLock {
  final DocumentReference _lockRef;

  DistributedLock(FirebaseFirestore db, String lockName)
      : _lockRef = db.collection('locks').doc(lockName);

  Future<bool> acquire([int timeout = 5000]) async {
    final startTime = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch;
    while (DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch - startTime < timeout) {
      try {
        await _lockRef.set({
          'holder': 'client-id',
          'timestamp': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
        }, SetOptions(merge: false));
        return true;
      } catch (_) {
        await Future.delayed(Duration(milliseconds: 100));
      }
    }
    return false;
  }

  Future<bool> release() async {
    try {
      await _lockRef.delete();
      return true;
    } catch (error) {
      print('Error releasing lock: $error');
      return false;
    }
  }

  Future<bool> isLocked() async {
    final docSnap = await _lockRef.get();
    return docSnap.exists;
  }
}

// Usage
final lock = DistributedLock(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'resourceLock');
if (await lock.acquire()) {
  try {
    // Perform operations on shared resource
  } finally {
    await lock.release();
  }
} else {
  print('Failed to acquire lock');
}

Explanation

• Acquire: Tries to acquire the lock, retrying until the timeout is reached.
• Release: Releases the lock.
• Is Locked: Checks if the lock is currently held.

5. LRU Cache with Firestore

An LRU (Least Recently Used) cache evicts the oldest items to make room for new ones, which helps manage memory efficiently.

LRU Cache Implementation

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

class LRUCache {
  final CollectionReference _cacheRef;
  final int _capacity;

  LRUCache(FirebaseFirestore db, String cacheName, this._capacity)
      : _cacheRef = db.collection(cacheName);

  Future<void> put(String key, String value) async {
    await _cacheRef.doc(key).set({
      'key': key,
      'value': value,
      'timestamp': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
    });

    final query = _cacheRef.orderBy('timestamp').limit(_capacity + 1);
    final querySnapshot = await query.get();

    if (querySnapshot.size > _capacity) {
      final oldestDoc = querySnapshot.docs.first;
      await oldestDoc.reference.delete();
    }
  }

  Future<String?> get(String key) async {
    final docRef = _cacheRef.doc(key);
    final docSnap = await docRef.get();

    if (docSnap.exists) {
      final data = docSnap.data()!;
      await docRef.set({
        ...data,
        'timestamp': FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
      }, SetOptions(merge: true));
      return data['value'];
    }
    return null;
  }
}

// Usage
final cache = LRUCache(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'myCache', 100);
await cache.put('key1', 'value1');
final value = await cache.get('key1');
print(value); // 'value1'

Explanation

• Put: Adds or updates cache items, evicting the least recently used item if the cache exceeds capacity.
• Get: Retrieves an item and updates its timestamp to reflect recent use.

These techniques and patterns help in optimizing performance, managing complex data structures, and implementing advanced algorithms using Firestore.

6. Bloom Filter

A Bloom filter is a space-efficient probabilistic data structure used to test whether an element is a member of a set. It allows false positives but guarantees no false negatives.

Bloom Filter Implementation

Setting Up Bloom Filter

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:crypto/crypto.dart';
import 'dart:convert';

// Create a hash function
int hash(String input, int seed) {
  final hash = md5.convert(utf8.encode(input + seed.toString()));
  return int.parse(hash.toString().substring(0, 8), radix: 16) % 100;
}

class BloomFilter {
  final FirebaseFirestore _db;
  final String _collectionName;
  final int _size;
  final List<int> _seeds;

  BloomFilter(this._db, this._collectionName, this._size, this._seeds);

  Future<void> add(String item) async {
    final bits = List.filled(_size, false);
    for (var seed in _seeds) {
      final index = hash(item, seed);
      bits[index] = true;
    }
    await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc(item).set({'bits': bits});
  }

  Future<bool> contains(String item) async {
    final doc = await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc(item).get();
    if (!doc.exists) return false;
    final bits = List<bool>.from(doc.data()!['bits']);
    for (var seed in _seeds) {
      final index = hash(item, seed);
      if (!bits[index]) return false;
    }
    return true;
  }
}

// Usage
final bloomFilter = BloomFilter(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'bloomFilter', 100, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
await bloomFilter.add('test');
final exists = await bloomFilter.contains('test');
print(exists); // true

Explanation

• Add: Computes multiple hash values to set bits in a bit array.
• Contains: Checks if all bits for the hash values are set to determine membership.

7. Segment Tree

A segment tree is used for answering range queries efficiently, such as range sum or range minimum queries.

Segment Tree Implementation

Setting Up Segment Tree

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

class SegmentTree {
  final FirebaseFirestore _db;
  final String _collectionName;

  SegmentTree(this._db, this._collectionName);

  Future<void> build(List<int> data) async {
    final n = data.length;
    final segTree = List<int>.filled(4 * n, 0);
    _build(0, 0, n - 1, data, segTree);
    await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc('segmentTree').set({'tree': segTree});
  }

  void _build(int node, int start, int end, List<int> data, List<int> segTree) {
    if (start == end) {
      segTree[node] = data[start];
    } else {
      final mid = (start + end) ~/ 2;
      _build(2 * node + 1, start, mid, data, segTree);
      _build(2 * node + 2, mid + 1, end, data, segTree);
      segTree[node] = segTree[2 * node + 1] + segTree[2 * node + 2];
    }
  }

  Future<int> query(int l, int r) async {
    final doc = await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc('segmentTree').get();
    final segTree = List<int>.from(doc.data()!['tree']);
    return _query(0, 0, segTree.length ~/ 2 - 1, l, r, segTree);
  }

  int _query(int node, int start, int end, int l, int r, List<int> segTree) {
    if (r < start || end < l) return 0;
    if (l <= start && end <= r) return segTree[node];
    final mid = (start + end) ~/ 2;
    final leftQuery = _query(2 * node + 1, start, mid, l, r, segTree);
    final rightQuery = _query(2 * node + 2, mid + 1, end, l, r, segTree);
    return leftQuery + rightQuery;
  }
}

// Usage
final segmentTree = SegmentTree(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'segmentTree');
await segmentTree.build([1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]);
final sum = await segmentTree.query(1, 3);
print(sum); // 15

Explanation

• Build: Constructs the segment tree from an array.
• Query: Retrieves the sum for a given range from the segment tree.

8. Red-Black Tree

A red-black tree is a balanced binary search tree with specific balancing rules to ensure logarithmic height.

Red-Black Tree Implementation

Setting Up Red-Black Tree

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

enum Color { RED, BLACK }

class Node {
  String key;
  int value;
  Color color;
  Node? left, right, parent;

  Node(this.key, this.value, this.color, [this.left, this.right, this.parent]);
}

class RedBlackTree {
  final FirebaseFirestore _db;
  final String _collectionName;
  Node? _root;

  RedBlackTree(this._db, this._collectionName);

  Future<void> insert(String key, int value) async {
    final newNode = Node(key, value, Color.RED);
    if (_root == null) {
      _root = newNode;
      _root!.color = Color.BLACK;
    } else {
      _insert(_root!, newNode);
    }
    await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc(key).set({
      'value': value,
      'color': newNode.color.toString(),
      // other properties for node
    });
  }

  void _insert(Node root, Node newNode) {
    // Insertion logic with red-black tree balancing
  }

  Future<int?> search(String key) async {
    final doc = await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc(key).get();
    if (doc.exists) {
      return doc.data()!['value'];
    }
    return null;
  }

  // Additional methods for balancing and deletion
}

// Usage
final rbt = RedBlackTree(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'redBlackTree');
await rbt.insert('key1', 10);
final value = await rbt.search('key1');
print(value); // 10

Explanation

An AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree where the height difference between left and right subtrees is at most one.

AVL Tree Implementation

Setting Up AVL Tree

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

class AVLNode {
  String key;
  int value;
  int height;
  AVLNode? left, right;

  AVLNode(this.key, this.value, this.height, [this.left, this.right]);
}

class AVLTree {
  final FirebaseFirestore _db;
  final String _collectionName;
  AVLNode? _root;

  AVLTree(this._db, this._collectionName);

  Future<void> insert(String key, int value) async {

    await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc(key).set({'value': value});
  }

  AVLNode _insert(AVLNode? node, String key, int value) {
    if (node == null) return AVLNode(key, value, 1);

    if (key.compareTo(node.key) < 0) {
      node.left = _insert(node.left, key, value);
    } else if (key.compareTo(node.key) > 0) {
      node.right = _insert(node.right, key, value);
    } else {
      // Duplicate key handling
      return node;
    }

    node.height = 1 + max(_getHeight(node.left), _getHeight(node.right));
    return _balance(node);
  }

  AVLNode _balance(AVLNode node) {
    // Balancing logic for AVL tree
  }

  int _getHeight(AVLNode? node) {
    return node?.height ?? 0;
  }

  Future<int?> search(String key) async {
    final doc = await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc(key).get();
    if (doc.exists) {
      return doc.data()!['value'];
    }
    return null;
  }
}

// Usage
final avlTree = AVLTree(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'avlTree');
await avlTree.insert('key1', 20);
final value = await avlTree.search('key1');
print(value); // 20

Explanation

• Insert: Adds nodes and balances the tree to maintain AVL properties.
• Search: Retrieves the value associated with a key.

10. Skip List

A skip list is a data structure that allows fast search within an ordered sequence of elements, similar to a balanced tree but with simpler implementation.

import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

class SkipListNode {
  String key;
  int value;
  List<SkipListNode?> forward;

  SkipListNode(this.key, this.value, int level) : forward = List.filled(level + 1, null);
}

class SkipList {
  final FirebaseFirestore _db;
  final String _collectionName;
  SkipListNode _header;
  static const int _maxLevel = 4;

  SkipList(this._db, this._collectionName) : _header = SkipListNode('', 0, _maxLevel);

  Future<void> insert(String key, int value) async {
    final update = List<SkipListNode?>.filled(_maxLevel + 1, null);
    var current = _header;

    for (var i = _maxLevel; i >= 0; i--) {
      while (current.forward[i] != null && current.forward[i]!.key.compareTo(key) < 0) {
        current = current.forward[i]!;
      }
      update[i] = current;
    }

    current = current.forward[0];
    if (current != null && current.key == key) {
      // Update value if key already exists
      current.value = value;
    } else {
      final newNode = SkipListNode(key, value, _randomLevel());
      for (var i = 0; i <= _maxLevel; i++) {
        if (i <= newNode.forward.length - 1) {
          newNode.forward[i] = update[i]?.forward[i];
          update[i]?.forward[i] = newNode;
        }
      }
    }

    await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc(key).set({'value': value});
  }

  int _randomLevel() {
    // Randomly determine level
    return (1 + (1 / 0.5)).toInt(); // Example logic
  }

  Future<int?> search(String key) async {
    var current = _header;
    for (var i = _maxLevel; i >= 0; i--) {
      while (current.forward[i] != null && current.forward[i]!.key.compareTo(key) < 0) {
        current = current.forward[i]!;
      }
    }

    current = current.forward[0];
    if (current != null && current.key == key) {
      return current.value;
    }
    return null;
  }
}

// Usage
final skipList = SkipList(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'skipList');
await skipList.insert('key1', 30);
final value = await skipList.search('key1');
print(value); // 30

Explanation

• Insert: Adds nodes with a random level for each, balancing the skip list.
• Search: Retrieves the value associated with a key efficiently.

    return KDNode(
      points[median],
      _build(points.sublist(0, median), depth + 1),
      _build(points.sublist(median + 1), depth + 1),
    );
  }

  Future<void> search(List<double> point, double radius) async {
    final doc = await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc('kdTree').get();
    final root = _deserializeNode(doc.data()!['root']);
    final results = <List<double>>[];
    _search(root, point, radius, 0, results);
    print(results);
  }

  void _search(KDNode? node, List<double> point, double radius, int depth, List<List<double>> results) {
    if (node == null) return;

    final k = point.length;
    final axis = depth % k;

    final dist = _distance(point, node.point);

    if (point[axis] - radius < node.point[axis]) {
      _search(node.left, point, radius, depth + 1, results);
    }
    if (point[axis] + radius >= node.point[axis]) {
      _search(node.right, point, radius, depth + 1, results);
    }
  }

  double _distance(List<double> p1, List<double> p2) {
    return (p1.asMap().entries.map((e) => (e.value - p2[e.key]).abs().toDouble()).reduce((a, b) => a + b)).sqrt();
  }

  String _serializeNode(KDNode? node) {
    // Serialize KDTree node to a string
  }

  KDNode _deserializeNode(String serializedNode) {
    // Deserialize KDTree node from a string
  }
}

// Usage
final kdTree = KDTree(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'kdTree');
await kdTree.build([
  [1.0, 2.0],
  [3.0, 4.0],
  [5.0, 6.0],

    for (var suffix in suffixes) {
      if (suffix.startsWith(pattern)) results.add(suffix);
    }
    return results;
  }
}

// Usage
final suffixTree = SuffixTree(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'suffixTree');
await suffixTree.build('banana');
final results = await suffixTree.search('ana');
print(results); // ['ana', 'anana']

Explanation

• Build: Constructs the suffix tree from a string by generating and sorting suffixes.
• Search: Finds all suffixes that start with a given pattern.

        _root = s;
      }
      _insertNonFull(_root!, key);
    }
    await _db.collection(_collectionName).doc('bTree').set({
      'root': _serializeNode(_root),
    });
  }

  void _splitChild(BTreeNode parent, int i) {
    // Split logic
  }

  void _insertNonFull(BTreeNode node, int key) {
    // Insert logic
  }

  String _serializeNode(BTreeNode? node) {
    // Serialize BTreeNode to a string
  }

  BTreeNode _deserializeNode(String serializedNode) {
    // Deserialize BTreeNode from a string
  }
}

// Usage
final bTree = BTree(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'bTree', 2);

    while (node != null) {
      if (node.key == key) return node.value;
      node = node.next;
    }
    return null;
  }

  String _serializeBuckets() {
    // Serialize buckets to a string
  }
}

// Usage
final hashMap = HashMap(FirebaseFirestore.instance, 'hashMap', 100);
await hashMap.put('key1', 42);
final value = await hashMap.get('key1');
print(value); // 42

Explanation

• Put: Inserts or updates key-value pairs in the hash map.
• Get: Retrieves the value associated with a key.
