* Pre: Fix error in parser macros.
* Pre: Make test unwrapping more verbose.
* Pre: Make lookup refs be (lookup-ref a v) in the entity position.
This has the advantage of being explicit in all situations and
unambiguous at parse-time. This choice agrees with the Clojure
implementation but not with Datomic. Datomic treats [a v] as a lookup
ref, is ambiguous at parse-time, and is disambiguated in ways I do not
understand at transaction time. We mooted making lookup refs [[a v]]
and outlawing nested value vectors in transactions, but after
implementing that approach I decided it was better to handle lookup
refs at parse time and therefore outlawing nested value vectors is not
necessary.
* Handle lookup refs in the entity and value columns. Fixes#183.
* Pre 0a: Use a stack instead of into_iter.
* Pre 0b: Dedent.
* Pre 0c: Handle `e` after `v`.
This allows to use the original `e` while handling `v`.
* Explode value lists for :db.cardinality/many attributes. Fixes#284.
* Parse and accept map notation. Fixes#180.
* Pre: Modernize add() and retract() into one add_or_retract().
* Pre: Add is_collection and is_atom to edn::Value.
* Pre: Differentiate atoms from lookup-refs in value position.
Initially, I expected to accept arbitrary edn::Value instances in the
value position, and to differentiate in the transactor. However, the
implementation quickly became a two-stage parser, since we always
wanted to parse the resulting value position into some other known
thing using the tx-parser. To save calls into the parser and to allow
the parser to move forward with a smaller API surface, I push as much
of this parsing as possible into the initial parse.
* Pre: Modernize entities().
* Pre: Quote edn::Value::Text in Display.
* Review comment: Add and use edn::Value::into_atom.
* Review comment: Use skip(eof()) throughout.
* Review comment: VecDeque instead of Vec.
* Review comment: Part 0: Rename TempId to TempIdHandle.
* Review comment: Part 1: Differentiate internal and external tempids.
This breaks an abstraction boundary by pushing the Internal/External
split up to the Entity level in tx/ and tx-parser/. This just makes
it easier to explode Entity map notation instances into Entity
instances, taking an existing External tempid :db/id or generating a
new Internal tempid as appropriate. To do this without breaking the
abstraction boundary would require adding flexibility to the
transaction processor: we'd need to be able to turn Entity instances
into some internal enum and handle the two cases independently. It
wouldn't be too hard, but this reduces the combinatorial type
explosion.
* Pre: Don't retract :db/ident in test.
Datomic (and eventually Mentat) don't allow to retract :db/ident in
this way, so this runs afoul of future work to support mutating
metadata.
* Pre: s/VALUETYPE/VALUE_TYPE/.
This is consistent with the capitalization (which is "valueType") and
the other identifier.
* Pre: Remove some single quotes from error output.
* Part 1: Make materialized views be uniform [e a v value_type_tag].
This looks ahead to a time when we could support arbitrary
user-defined materialized views. For now, the "idents" materialized
view is those datoms of the form [e :db/ident :namespaced/keyword] and
the "schema" materialized view is those datoms of the form [e a v]
where a is in a particular set of attributes that will become clear in
the following commits.
This change is not backwards compatible, so I'm removing the open
current (really, v2) test. It'll be re-instated when we get to
https://github.com/mozilla/mentat/issues/194.
* Pre: Map TypedValue::Ref to TypedValue::Keyword in debug output.
* Part 3: Separate `schema_to_mutate` from the `schema` used to interpret.
This is just to keep track of the expected changes during
bootstrapping. I want bootstrap metadata mutations to flow through
the same code path as metadata mutations during regular transactions;
by differentiating the schema used for interpretation from the schema
that will be updated I expect to be able to apply bootstrap metadata
mutations to an empty schema and have things like materialized views
created (using the regular code paths).
This commit has been re-ordered for conceptual clarity, but it won't
compile because it references the metadata module. It's possible to
make it compile -- the functionality is there in the schema module --
but it's not worth the rebasing effort until after review (and
possibly not even then, since we'll squash down to a single commit to
land).
* Part 2: Maintain entids separately from idents.
In order to support historical idents, we need to distinguish the
"current" map from entid -> ident from the "complete historical" map
ident -> entid. This is what Datomic does; in Datomic, an ident is
never retracted (although it can be replaced). This approach is an
important part of allowing multiple consumers to share a schema
fragment as it migrates forward.
This fixes a limitation of the Clojure implementation, which did not
handle historical idents across knowledge base close and re-open.
The "entids" materialized view is naturally a slice of the "datoms"
table. The "idents" materialized view is a slice of the
"transactions" table. I hope that representing in this way, and
casting the problem in this light, might generalize to future
materialized views.
* Pre: Add DiffSet.
* Part 4: Collect mutations to a `Schema`.
I haven't taken your review comment about consuming AttributeBuilder
during each fluent function. If you read my response and still want
this, I'm happy to do it in review.
* Part 5: Handle :db/ident and :db.{install,alter}/attribute.
This "loops" the committed datoms out of the SQL store and back
through the metadata (schema, but in future also partition map)
processor. The metadata processor updates the schema and produces a
report of what changed; that report is then used to update the SQL
store. That update includes:
- the materialized views ("entids", "idents", and "schema");
- if needed, a subset of the datoms themselves (as flags change).
I've left a TODO for handling attribute retraction in the cases that
it makes sense. I expect that to be straight-forward.
* Review comment: Rename DiffSet to AddRetractAlterSet.
Also adds a little more commentary and a simple test.
* Review comment: Use ToIdent trait.
* Review comment: partially revert "Part 2: Maintain entids separately from idents."
This reverts commit 23a91df9c35e14398f2ddbd1ba25315821e67401.
Following our discussion, this removes the "entids" materialized
view. The next commit will remove historical idents from the "idents"
materialized view.
* Post: Use custom Either rather than std::result::Result.
This is not necessary, but it was suggested that we might be paying an
overhead creating Err instances while using error_chain. That seems
not to be the case, but this change shows that we don't actually use
any of the Result helper methods, so there's no reason to overload
Result. This change might avoid some future confusion, so I'm going
to land it anyway.

* Review comment: Don't preserve historical idents.
* Review comment: More prepared statements when updating materialized views.
* Post: Test altering :db/cardinality and :db/unique.
These tests fail due to a Datomic limitation, namely that the marker
flag :db.alter/attribute can only be asserted once for an attribute!
That is, [:db.part/db :db.alter/attribute :attribute] will only be
transacted at most once. Since older versions of Datomic required the
:db.alter/attribute flag, I can only imagine they either never wrote
:db.alter/attribute to the store, or they handled it specially. I'll
need to remove the marker flag system from Mentat in order to address
this fundamental limitation.
* Post: Remove some more single quotes from error output.
* Post: Add assert_transact! macro to unwrap safely.
I was finding it very difficult to track unwrapping errors while
making changes, due to an underlying Mac OS X symbolication issue that
makes running tests with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 so slow that they all time
out.
* Post: Don't expect or recognize :db.{install,alter}/attribute.
I had this all working... except we will never see a repeated
`[:db.part/db :db.alter/attribute :attribute]` assertion in the store!
That means my approach would let you alter an attribute at most one
time. It's not worth hacking around this; it's better to just stop
expecting (and recognizing) the marker flags. (We have all the data
to distinguish the various cases that we need without the marker
flags.)
This brings Mentat in line with the thrust of newer Datomic versions,
but isn't compatible with Datomic, because (if I understand correctly)
Datomic automatically adds :db.{install,alter}/attribute assertions to
transactions.
I haven't purged the corresponding :db/ident and schema fragments just
yet:
- we might want them back
- we might want them in order to upgrade v1 and v2 databases to the
new on-disk layout we're fleshing out (v3?).
* Post: Don't make :db/unique :db.unique/* imply :db/index true.
This patch avoids a potential bug with the "schema" materialized view.
If :db/unique :db.unique/value implies :db/index true, then what
happens when you _retract_ :db.unique/value? I think Datomic defines
this in some way, but I really want the "schema" materialized view to
be a slice of "datoms" and not have these sort of ambiguities and
persistent effects. Therefore, to ensure that we don't retract a
schema characteristic and accidentally change more than we intended
to, this patch stops having any schema characteristic imply any other
schema characteristic(s). To achieve that, I added an
Option<Unique::{Value,Identity}> type to Attribute; this helps with
this patch, and also looks ahead to when we allow to retract
:db/unique attributes.
* Post: Allow to retract :db/ident.
* Post: Include more details about invalid schema changes.
The tests use strings, so they hide the chained errors which do in
fact provide more detail.
* Review comment: Fix outdated comment.
* Review comment: s/_SET/_SQL_LIST/.
* Review comment: Use a sub-select for checking cardinality.
This might be faster in practice.
* Review comment: Put `attribute::Unique` into its own namespace.
* Test collecting tempids after upsert resolution. Fixes#299.
I just didn't finish and expose the tempid collection when I
implemented upsert resolution. Here it is!
* Review comment: Take ownership of temp_id_map; avoid contains_key().
* Pre: Order datoms deterministically in debug output.
This makes comparison much easier, and avoids a whole class of
difficult problems when introducing pattern matching with placeholder
values.
* Pre: Don't rewrite ?txN and ?msN in debug module into_edn() methods.
* Convert EDN transaction tests to Rust code. Fixes#271.
This implements
https://github.com/mozilla/mentat/issues/271#issuecomment-283125963.
I'm using the EDN pattern matching functionality
internally (extensively!), but specifically working around the tricky
edges we encountered. This should let us implement tests quickly (and
hopefully legibly) while not requiring us to encode as much behaviour
into non-standard EDN notations.
For queries like
```edn
[:find ?x :where [?x _ "hello"]]
[:find [?v ...] :where [_ ?a ?v]]
```
we'll query `all_datoms` to handle fulltext strings, which is expensive.
If `?a` is bound, we can avoid this — resolve any keyword binding,
ensure that the value is an attribute, and use the appropriate table.
* Part 1: added limits feature to rusqlite dependencies.
* Part 2: replace references to SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER with sqlite3_limit.
* Move assertion check for correct number of variables in repeat_values to before call as this is where the variable is defined.
* Part 3: add tests
This is necessary because we process patterns sequentially; a later
pattern might tell us the type of a variable (e.g., by having a
constant attribute), at which point we can do less work.
* Add a failing test for EDN parsing '…'.
* Expose a SQLValueType trait to get value_type_tag values out of a ValueType.
* Add accessors to FindSpec.
* Implement querying.
* Implement rudimentary projection.
* Export mentat_db::new_connection.
* Export symbols from mentat.
* Add rudimentary end-to-end query tests.
* Add top-level `Conn`. Fixes#296.
This is a little different than the API rnewman and I originally
discussed in https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/db-conn-thoughts.
A few notes:
- I was led to make a `Schema` instance the thing that is shared,
rather than a `db::DB`. It's possible that queries will want to
know the current transaction at some point (to prevent races, or to
query historical data), but that can be a future consideration.
- The generation number just allows for a cheap comparison. I don't
care to handle races to transact just yet; the long term plan might
be to make embedding applications responsible for avoiding races, or
we might handle queuing transactions and yielding report futures in
Mentat itself.
- The sharing of the partition maps is a little more subtle than
expected. Partition maps are volatile: a successful Mentat
transaction always advances the :db.part/tx partition, so it's not
worth passing references around. This means that consumers must
clone in order to maintain just a single clone per transaction.
Clean some cruft.
* Review comments.
* Pre: Drop unneeded tx0 from search results.
* Pre: Don't require a schema in some of the DB code.
The idea is to separate the transaction applying code, which is
schema-aware, from the concrete storage code, which is just concerned
with getting bits onto disk.
* Pre: Only reference Schema, not DB, in debug module.
This is part of a larger separation of the volatile PartitionMap,
which is modified every transaction, from the stable Schema, which is
infrequently modified.
* Pre: Fix indentation.
* Extract part of DB to new SchemaTypeChecking trait.
* Extract part of DB to new PartitionMapping trait.
* Pre: Don't expect :db.part/tx partition to advance when tx fails.
This fails right now, because we allocate tx IDs even when we shouldn't.
* Sketch a db interface without DB.
* Add ValueParseError; use error-chain in tx-parser.
This can be simplified when
https://github.com/Marwes/combine/issues/86 makes it to a published
release, but this unblocks us for now. This converts the `combine`
error type `ParseError<&'a [edn::Value]>` to a type with owned
`Vec<edn::Value>` collections, re-using `edn::Value::Vector` for
making them `Display`.
* Pre: Accept Borrow<Schema> instead of just &Schema in debug module.
This makes it easy to use Rc<Schema> or Arc<Schema> without inserting
&* sigils throughout the code.
* Use error-chain in query-parser.
There are a few things to point out here:
- the fine grained error types have been flattened into one crate-wide
error type; it's pretty easy to regain the granularity as needed.
- edn::ParseError is automatically lifted to
mentat_query_parser::errors::Error;
- we use mentat_parser_utils::ValueParser to maintain parsing error
information from `combine`.
* Patch up top-level.
* Review comment: Only `borrow()` once.
These expand into a collection of named variables that should be
passed via bind parameters when the query is executed.
Bind parameters are now only named.
