• I have searched the Issue Tracker and Discussions that this hasn't already been reported. (+1 or comment there if it has.)
• Consider asking first in a Discussion.

Motivation

The TaskChannel class in task_channel.py currently uses a simple dictionary (_task_dict: Dict[str, Packet]) for task storage, leading to O(n) complexity for task retrieval.

Tasks:

• Replace _task_dict with hybrid data structure:
  • Hash map for O(1) lookup by task ID
  • Status-based indexes for efficient filtering
• Optimize get_assigned_task_by_assignee:
  • Maintain assignee->tasks index for O(1) lookup
  • Remove need for linear search
• Improve concurrency:
  • Use read-write locks for better concurrent access
  • Implement fine-grained locking per assignee
  • Add batched operations to reduce lock acquisitions
