* Part 3: Parameterize Entity by value type.
This isn't quite right, because after parsing, we shouldn't care
about` `edn::ValueAndSpan`, we should care only about edn::Value.
However, I think we can drop `ValueAndSpan` entirely if we just use
`rust-peg` (and its simpler error messages) rather than a mix of
`rust-peg` and `combine`.
In any case, this paves the way to transacting `Entity<TypedValue>`,
which is a nice step towards building general entities.
* Part 1: Add AttributePlace.
* Part 2: Name other places EntityPlace and ValuePlace.
Now we're consistent and closer to self-documenting. Both matter more
as we expose `Entity` as the thing to build for programmatic usage.
* Part 4: Allow Ident and TempId in ValuePlace.
The parser will never produce these, since determining whether an
integer/keyword or string is an ident or a tempid, respectively, in
the value place requires the schema.
But a builder that produces `Entity` instances directly will want to
produce these.
This should address #663, by re-inserting type checking in the
transactor stack after the entry point used by the term builder.
Before this commit, we were using an SQLite UNIQUE index to assert
that no `[e a]` pair, with `a` a cardinality one attribute, was
asserted more than once. However, that's not in line with Datomic,
which treats transaction inputs as a set and allows a single datom
like `[e a v]` to appear multiple times. It's both awkward and not
particularly efficient to look for _distinct_ repetitions in SQL, so
we accept some runtime cost in order to check for repetitions in the
transactor. This will allow us to address #532, which is really about
whether we treat inputs as sets. A side benefit is that we can
provide more helpful error messages when the transactor does detect
that the input truly violates the cardinality constraints of the
schema.
This commit builds a trie while error checking and collecting final
terms, which should be fairly efficient. It also allows a simpler
expression of input-provided :db/txInstant datoms, which in turn
uncovered a small issue with the transaction watcher, where-by the
watcher would not see non-input-provided :db/txInstant datoms.
This transition to Datomic-like input-as-set semantics allows us to
address #532. Previously, two tempids that upserted to the same entid
would produce duplicate datoms, and that would have been rejected by
the transactor -- correctly, since we did not allow duplicate datoms
under the input-as-list semantics. With input-as-set semantics,
duplicate datoms are allowed; and that means that we must allow
tempids to be equivalent, i.e., to resolve to the same tempid.
To achieve this, we:
- index the set of tempids
- identify tempid indices that share an upsert
- map tempids to a dense set of contiguous integer labels
We use the well-known union-find algorithm, as implemented by
petgraph, to efficiently manage the set of equivalent tempids.
Along the way, I've fixed and added tests for two small errors in the
transactor. First, don't drop datoms resolved by upsert (#679).
Second, ensure that complex upserts are allocated.
I don't know quite what happened here. The Clojure implementation
correctly kept complex upserts that hadn't resolved as complex
upserts (see
9a9dfb502a/src/common/datomish/transact.cljc (L436))
and then allocated complex upserts if they didn't resolve (see
9a9dfb502a/src/common/datomish/transact.cljc (L509)).
Based on the code comments, I think the Rust implementation must have
incorrectly tried to optimize by handling all complex upserts in at
most a single generation of evolution, and that's just not correct.
We're effectively implementing a topological sort, using very specific
domain knowledge, and its not true that a node in a topological sort
can be considered only once!
* Make properties on NamespacedKeyword/NamespacedSymbol private
* Use only a single String for NamespacedKeyword/NamespacedSymbol
* Review comments.
* Remove unsafe code in namespaced_name.
Benchmarking shows approximately zero change.
* Allow the types of ns and name to differ when constructing a NamespacedName.
* Make symbol namespaces optional.
* Normalize names of keyword/symbol constructors.
This will make the subsequent refactor much less painful.
* Use expect not unwrap.
* Merge Keyword and NamespacedKeyword.
There are few reasons to do this:
- it's difficult to add symbol interning to combine-based parsers like
tx-parser -- literally every type changes to reflect the interner,
and that means every convenience macro we've built needs to chagne.
It's trivial to add interning to rust-peg-based parsers.
- combine has rolled forward to 3.2, and I spent a similar amount of
time investigating how to upgrade tx-parser (to take advantage of
the new parser! macros in combine that I think are necessary for
adapting to changing types) as I did just converting to rust-peg.
- it's easy to improve the error messages in rust-peg, where-as I have
tried twice to improve the nested error messages in combine and am
stumped.
- it's roughly 4x faster to parse strings directly as opposed to
edn::ValueAndSpan, and it'll be even better when we intern directly.
This is a stepping stone to transacting entities that are not based on
`edn::ValueAndSpan`. We need to turn some value places (general) into
entity places (restricted), and those restrictions are captured in
tx-parser right now. But for `TypedValue` value places, those
restrictions are encoded in the type itself. This lays the track to
accept other value types in value places, which is good for
programmatic builder interfaces.

The only choice involved in this commit is that of replacing the
anonymous lifetime '_ with a named lifetime for the cache; since we're
accepting a Known, which includes the cache in question, I think it's
clear that we expect the function to apply to any given cache
lifetime.

* Test for mixed wildcard and simple attribute.
This innocuous looking change (upserts_ev -> upserts_e -> resolved in
all situations, rather than upserts_ev -> resolved in some situations)
is a significant change in semantics and assumptions in the
transactor. Witness the large comment being removed about the same
tempid resolving in different generations!
To support this change, we provide more holistic errors for
conflicting upserts, which entails collecting some (relatively
expensive) diagnostic data.
I left in some debug logging, simply since it shouldn't hurt in
general, and will likely be useful for the next bug we see in the
transactor.
We don't yet have a logging system for production use, but I'd like to
start experimenting with log, which seems to be (close to) a Rust
standard. We're already using it in mentat_cli.
:db/tx (and Datomic's version, :datomic/tx) suffer from the same
ambiguities that [a v] lookup references do -- determining the type of
the result is context sensitive. (In this case, is :db/tx a reference
to the current transaction ID, or is it a valid keyword?) This commit
addresses the ambiguity by introducing a notion of a transaction
functions, and provides a little scaffolding for adding more (should
the need arise). I left the scaffolding in place rather than handling
just (transaction-tx) because I started trying to
implement (transaction-instant) as well, which is more difficult --
see the comments.
It's worth noting that this approach generalizes more or less directly
to ?input variables, since those can be eagerly bound like the
implemented transaction function (transaction-tx).
* Pre: eliminate some occurrences of Rc, largely through the magic of Into.
* Pre: introduce FromRc to convert between refcounted types.
* Introduce ValueRc as an abstraction over Rc/Arc choice.
* Move Cloned to core.
* Move CString-creation methods to TypedValue.
* Finish transition.
* Pre: clean up core/src/lib.rs.
* Pre: use indexmap 1.0 in db and query-projector.
* Change rel results to be a RelResult instance, not a Vec<Vec<TypedValue>>.
This avoids memory fragmentation and improves locality by using a single
heap-allocated vector for all bindings, rather than a separate
heap-allocated vector for each row.
We hide this abstraction behind the `RelResult` type, which tracks the
stride length (width) of each row.
* Don't allocate temporary vectors when projecting RelResults.
Some parts of the query engine and transactor need to know whether an
attribute is a component attribute, and sometimes want to do so in
a generated SQL query. This is one way to do that.
Simplify.
This has a watcher collect txid -> AttributeSet mappings each time a
transact occurs. On commit we retrieve those mappings and hand them over
to the observer service, which filters them and packages them up for
dispatch.
Tidy up
* Use fixed-size arrays for bootstrap datoms, not vecs.
* Wide-ranging cleanup.
This commit:
- Deletes some dead code.
- Marks some functions only used by tests as cfg(test).
- Adds pub(crate) to a bunch of functions.
- Cleans up a few other nits.
* Use the cache to make constant queries super fast.
* Fix translate tests to match: we no longer generate SQL for many of them!
* Accumulate additions and removals into the cache.
* Make attribute cache clone-on-write; store it in Metadata.
* Allow caching of fulltext attributes, interning strings.
This puts caching in mentat_db, adds a reverse lookup capability for
unique attributes, and populates bidirectional caches with a single
SQL cursor walk.
Differentiate between begin_read and begin_uncached_read.
Note that we still allow toggling within InProgress, because there might be
transient local state that makes starting a new transaction impossible.
You can use this in conjunction with setting SQLITE3_LIB_DIR to control which SQLite is used.

This is so we don't return a more granular -- and thus subtly different --
timestamp in a `TxReport` than we put into the store.

This was done using the following shell script:
```
find . -type f -not -path "*target*" \
'(' -name '*.rs' -o -name '*.md' -o -name '*.toml' ')' -print0 | \
xargs -0 sed -i '' -E 's/[[:space:]]*$//'
```
Which is admittedly imperfect, but manages to hit everything that was a problem in this repo.
* Pre: rename begin_transaction to begin_tx_application.
* Take an EXCLUSIVE transaction when bootstrapping, and an IMMEDIATE transaction when writing.
This avoids the remote possibility of another write sneaking in the door
while we're preparing to write, avoids us needing to upgrade locks, etc.
After a BEGIN IMMEDIATE, no other database connection will be able to write
to the database or do a BEGIN IMMEDIATE or BEGIN EXCLUSIVE. Other processes
can continue to read from the database, however.
An exclusive transaction causes EXCLUSIVE locks to be acquired on all
databases. After a BEGIN EXCLUSIVE, no other database connection except for
read_uncommitted connections will be able to read the database and no other
connection without exception will be able to write the database until the
transaction is complete.
