rusqlite must have just returned the data itself rather than relying on
the Result type to communicate failures to callers. Fixing that here,
albeit in a fragile way.
RowIndex must have just been an alias over i32, but now it's a trait
implemented on str and usize, so we need to change mentat's internal
type alias for it to a usize.
* Pre: remove remnants of 'open_empty'
* Pre: Cleanup 'datoms' table after a timeline move
Since timeline move operations use a transactor, they generate a
"phantom" 'tx' and a 'txInstant' assertion. It is "phantom" in a sense
that it was never present in the 'transactions' table, and is entirely
synthetic as far as our database is concerned.
It's an implementational artifact, and we were not cleaning it up.
It becomes a problem when we start inserting transactions after a move.
Once the transactor clashes with the phantom 'tx', it will retract the
phantom 'txInstant' value, leaving the transactions log in an incorrect state.
This patch adds a test for this scenario and elects the easy way out: simply
remove the offending 'txInstant' datom.
* Part 1: Sync without support for side-effects
A "side-effect" is defined here as a mutation of a remote state as part
of the sync.
If, during a sync we determine that a remote state needs to be changed, bail out.
This generally supports different variations of "baton-passing" syncing, where clients
will succeed syncing if each change is non-conflicting.
* Part 2: Support basic "side-effects" syncing
This patch introduces a concept of a follow-up sync. If a sync generated
a "merge transaction" (a regular transaction that contains assertions
necessary for local and remote transaction logs to converge), then
this transaction needs to be uploaded in a follow-up sync.
Generated SyncReport indicates if a follow-up sync is required.
Follow-up sync itself is just a regular sync. If remote state did not change,
it will result in a simple RemoteFastForward. Otherwise, we'll continue
merging and requesting a follow-up.
Schema alterations are explicitly not supported.
As local transactions are rebased on top of remote, following changes happen:
- entids are changed into tempids, letting transactor upsert :db/unique values
- entids for retractions are changed into lookup-refs if we're confident they'll succeed
-- otherwise, retractions are dropped on the floor
* Post: use a macro for more readable tests
* Tolstoy README
* Add iOS SDK build and test to rust 1.25.0 version of travis CI build
* Address review comments
* Move iOS testing and document generation into post test jobs
Sync needs to operate over a "mentat transaction", not just a "db transaction".
This shuffle allows internal mentat crates to consume InProgress, which models
the concept of a "mentat transaction".
This was a work-around for Tolstoy, which couldn't gracefully handle
syncing a store with a bootstrap transaction. Tolstoy now handles
that single transaction, so this is no longer necessary.
