* Pre: use debugcli in VSCode.
* Pre: wrap subqueries in parentheses in output SQL.
* Pre: add ExistingColumn.
This lets us make reference to columns by name, rather than only
pointing to qualified aliases.
* Pre: add Into for &str to TypedValue.
* Pre: add Store.transact.
* Pre: cleanup.
* Parse and algebrize simple aggregates. (#312)
* Follow-up: print aggregate columns more neatly in the CLI.

* Allow for entity inequalities.
* Add 'differ', which is a ref-specialized not-equals.
* Add 'unpermute', a function for getting unique, distinct pairs from bindings.
* Review comments.
* Add 'the' pseudo-aggregation operator.
This allows for a corresponding value to be returned when a query
includes one 'min' or 'max' aggregate.
* 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.
* Add EntityBuilder.add_kw.
This allows you to skip your own attribute lookups, at the cost of
potentially doing the work more than once.
Also does value type checking.

* Add is_cached check to caching tests
* Move lazy and add/remove boolean flags to enums

This allows you to write:
```rust
kw!(:foo/bar)
```
instead of
```rust
NamespacedKeyword::new("foo", "bar")
```
… and it's more efficient, too.
Add `mentat::open`, eliminate use of `mentat_db` in some places.
This includes two other changes:

Pre: use intern_set in tx.
Pre: add InternSet::len.
Pre: comment gardening.
Pre: remove inaccurate TODO from TxReport comment.
This is a breaking change, and involves a very small additional cost
in managing the partition map, but it makes it much more feasible to
implement traits on InProgress: now they don't need to chain back a
new InProgress each time.
Bump version to 0.5 to reflect the change in InProgress.
* Add some helpers and refactor how queries are run (once).
* Implement lookup_value_for_attribute.
* Add a multi-value test for lookup_value_for_attribute.
* 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.

* Pre: make projection return a Result.
* Pre: refactor query parser in preparation for parsing aggregates.
* Pre: rename PredicateFn -> QueryFunction.
* Pre: expose more about bound variables from CC.
* Pre: move ValueTypeSet to core.
This commit adds a check to the partition map that a provided entity ID
has been mentioned (i.e., is present in the start:index range of one of
our partitions).
We introduce a newtype for known entity IDs, using this internally in
the tx expander to track user-provided entids that have passed the above
check (and IDs that we allocate as part of tempid processing). This
newtype is stripped prior to tx assertion.
In order that DB tests can continue to write
[:db/add 111 :foo/bar 222]
we add an additional fake partition to our test connections, ranging
from 100 to 1000.
This is a big commit, but it breaks into two conceptual pieces. The
first is to "parse without copying". We replace a stream of an owned
collection of edn::ValueAndSpan and instead have a stream of a
borrowed collection of &edn::ValueAndSpan references. (Generally,
this is represented as an iterator over a slice, but it can be over
other things too.) Cloning such iterators is constant time, which
improves on cloning an owned collection of edn::ValueAndSpan, which is
linear time in the length of the collection and additional time
depending on the complexity of the EDN values.
The second conceptual piece is to parse keyword maps using a special
parser and a macro to build the parser implementations. Before, we
created a new edn::ValueAndSpan::Map to represent a keyword map in
vector form; since we're working with &edn::ValueAndSpan references
now, we can't create an &edn::ValueAndSpan reference with an
appropriate lifetime. Therefore we generalize the concept of
iteration slightly and turn keyword maps in map form into linear
iterators by flattening the value maps. This is a potentially
obscuring transformation, so we have to take care to protect against
some failure cases. (See the comments and the tests in the code.)
After these changes, parsing using `combine` is linear time (and
reasonably fast).
This doesn't yet introduce a working Cargo.toml for 'mentatweb', but it
does allow RLS to build correctly without errors, and it reduces the
core library's dependency space, which is more important in the short
term.
* Pre: put query parts in alphabetical order.
* Pre: rename 'input' to 'query' in translate tests.
* Part 1: parse :limit.
* Part 2: validate and escape variable parameters in SQL.
* Part 3: algebrize and translate limits.
* Pre: Expose more in edn.
* Pre: Make it easier to work with ValueAndSpan.
with_spans() is a temporary hack, needed only because I don't care to
parse the bootstrap assertions from text right now.
* Part 1a: Add `value_and_span` for parsing nested `edn::ValueAndSpan` instances.
I wasn't able to abstract over `edn::Value` and `edn::ValueAndSpan`;
there are multiple obstacles. I chose to roll with
`edn::ValueAndSpan` since it exposes the additional span information
that we will want to form good error messages in the future.
* Part 1b: Add keyword_map() parsing an `edn::Value::Vector` into an `edn::Value::map`.
* Part 1c: Add `Log`/`.log(...)` for logging parser progress.
This is a terrible hack, but it sure helps to debug complicated nested
parsers. I don't even know what a principled approach would look
like; since our parser combinators are so frequently expressed in
code, it's hard to imagine a data-driven interpreter that can help
debug things.
* Part 2: Use `value_and_span` apparatus in tx-parser/.
I break an abstraction boundary by returning a value column
`edn::ValueAndSpan` rather than just an `edn::Value`. That is, the
transaction processor shouldn't care where the `edn::Value` it is
processing arose -- even we care to track that information we should
bake it into the `Entity` type. We do this because we need to
dynamically parse the value column to support nested maps, and parsing
requires a full `edn::ValueAndSpan`. Alternately, we could cheat and
fake the spans when parsing nested maps, but that's potentially
expensive.
* Part 3: Use `value_and_span` apparatus in query-parser/.
* Part 4: Use `value_and_span` apparatus in root crate.
* Review comment: Make Span and SpanPosition Copy.
* Review comment: nits.
* Review comment: Make `or` be `or_exactly`.
I baked the eof checking directly into the parser, rather than using
the skip and eof parsers. I also took the time to restore some tests
that were mistakenly commented out.
* Review comment: Extract and use def_matches_* macros.
* Review comment: .map() as late as possible.
Part 1, core: use Rc for String and Keyword.
Part 2, query: use Rc for Variable.
Part 3, sql: use Rc for args in SQLiteQueryBuilder.
Part 4, query-algebrizer: use Rc.
Part 5, db: use Rc.
Part 6, query-parser: use Rc.
Part 7, query-projector: use Rc.
Part 8, query-translator: use Rc.
Part 9, top level: use Rc.
Part 10: intern Ident and IdentOrKeyword.
* 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.
* 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.
* Leave a pointer to issue 288.
* Re-export mentat_db::types::DB from mentat_db.
* Parse EDN strings in the query parser.
* Export 'public' API from mentat_query_parser's top level.
* Stub out mentat::q_once.
