What

UpdateResult.operation_id is declared with explicit presence in points.proto:

message UpdateResult {
  // Number of operation
  optional uint64 operation_id = 1;
  // Operation status
  UpdateStatus status = 2;
}

GrpcToRest.convert_update_result read it unconditionally, so an absent field
came back as the proto default 0 instead of None:

operation_id=model.operation_id,          # before
operation_id=model.operation_id if model.HasField("operation_id") else None,   # after

Every neighbouring optional field in this module is already presence-guarded
(indexed_vectors_count, params, update_queue, …); this one was the odd one out.

Why it matters

The server really does leave operation_id unset. In qdrant, UpdateResult.operation_id
is Option<SeqNumberType> and is returned as None from at least three paths:

• lib/collection/src/shards/replica_set/mod.rs — delete-by-filter that matched no points
• lib/collection/src/shards/local_shard/shard_ops.rs — SubmitOutcome::ClockRejected
• lib/storage/src/content_manager/toc/point_ops.rs — custom sharding with no shard keys yet

On the REST side the field is annotated #[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")],
so the key is simply missing from the body and pydantic yields None. Over gRPC the same
update yielded operation_id=0. Because 0 is itself a valid operation id (the first
operation in a fresh collection), callers had no way to tell "no operation id" from
"operation 0", and prefer_grpc=True silently disagreed with prefer_grpc=False.

Reproduction and evidence (no server required)

repro.py — the two shapes the client receives for an update that got no sequence number:

from qdrant_client import grpc
from qdrant_client.conversions.conversion import GrpcToRest
from qdrant_client.http.models import models as rest

rest_body = {"status": "completed"}                                # HTTP response body
grpc_msg = grpc.UpdateResult(status=grpc.UpdateStatus.Completed)   # gRPC message

print("REST :", rest.UpdateResult(**rest_body))
print("gRPC :", GrpcToRest.convert_update_result(grpc_msg))

Before the fix:

REST : operation_id=None status=<UpdateStatus.COMPLETED: 'completed'>
gRPC : operation_id=0 status=<UpdateStatus.COMPLETED: 'completed'>

After the fix:

REST : operation_id=None status=<UpdateStatus.COMPLETED: 'completed'>
gRPC : operation_id=None status=<UpdateStatus.COMPLETED: 'completed'>

Tests fail before, pass after. Two independent checks cover it: the new
update_result_no_operation_id fixture (which flows through the existing
test_conversion_completeness grpc→rest→grpc harness) and a focused unit test.

On the unpatched tree, with the new tests in place:

$ python -m pytest tests/conversions/test_validate_conversions.py -q
...
>       assert GrpcToRest.convert_update_result(absent).operation_id is None
E       AssertionError: assert 0 is None
E        +  where 0 = UpdateResult(operation_id=0, status=<UpdateStatus.COMPLETED: 'completed'>).operation_id

FAILED tests/conversions/test_validate_conversions.py::test_conversion_completeness
FAILED tests/conversions/test_validate_conversions.py::test_convert_update_result_operation_id_presence
2 failed, 22 passed in 0.94s

With the fix:

$ python -m pytest tests/conversions/test_validate_conversions.py -q
........................                                                 [100%]
24 passed in 0.65s

Surrounding server-free suites are unaffected:

$ python -m pytest tests/conversions tests/test_in_memory.py tests/test_local_persistence.py tests/test_common.py -q
........................................................                 [100%]
56 passed in 0.90s

(The rest of tests/ needs a live Qdrant instance, which was not available in this
environment; nothing outside conversions/ is touched by this change.)

ruff-format --line-length=99 is clean on all three touched files.

How it was found

A static probe over GrpcToRest: for every converter whose first argument is annotated
grpc.<Message>, cross-reference the proto descriptor's explicit-presence scalar fields
against HasField(...) guards in the function body. Seven converters read an
explicit-presence scalar unguarded; five were false positives (oneof variants read via
WhichOneof, or fields whose REST counterpart is a required int that cannot hold None).
UpdateResult.operation_id was the one where the REST counterpart is Optional[int] and
the server has real code paths that omit the field.

Disclosure: prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code); I reviewed the change and take responsibility for it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

GrpcToRest.convert_collection_info and GrpcToRest.convert_update_result now preserve unset optional protobuf fields as None. Explicit zero values remain unchanged. New fixtures and round-trip tests cover absent and explicit values for points_count and operation_id.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 60352

The conversion now returns None for omitted optional protobuf values while preserving explicit zero values for points_count and operation_id. Focused round-trip tests cover both cases, with no concrete merge-blocking risk remaining.

Added a second commit for the same presence class. CollectionInfo.points_count is also optional in the proto but was read without HasField while indexed_vectors_count on the next line is guarded, so get_collection over gRPC reported 0 where REST reports None. Same one-line guard plus a fixture with the field unset and a test.
