There are two ways to create each builder, directly from a `Store` or from an `InProgress`. Creating from `Store` will perform two actions, creating a new `InProgress` and then returning a builder from that `InProgress`. In the case of `store_entity_builder_with_entid` and `store_entity_builder_from_tempid`, the function goes a step further and calls `describe` or `describe_tempid` from the created `InProgressBuilder` and returning the `EntityBuilder` that results. These two functions are replicated on `InProgress`. This has been done to reduce the overhead of objects being passed over the FFI boundary.
The decision to do this enables us to go from something like
```
in_progress = store_begin_transaction(store);
builder = in_progress_builder(in_progress);
entity_builder = in_progress_builder_describe(builder, entid);
```
to
```
entity_builder = store_entity_builder_from_entid(store);
```
There is an `add_*` and `retract_*` function specified for each `TypedValue` type for both `InProgressBuilder` and `EntityBuilder`.
To enable `transact` on `EntityBuilder` and `InProgressBuilder`, a new `repr(C)` struct has been created that contains a pointer to an `InProgress` and a pointer to a `Result<TxReport>` to allow passing the tuple result returned from `transact` on those types over the FFI.
Commit is possible from both builders and `InProgress`.
Documents the FFI layer for Mentat, and provides transaction functionality via an EDN string. Creates two native libraries for iOS (Swift) and Android (Java) and fully tests the FFI for both platforms.
Closes#619#614#611
* 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.
First, the parser had a small grouping bug where-by it wouldn't parse
Z as timezone correctly. Second, we weren't printing instants in the format
that we parse.
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.
We were forgetting to check for bound variables when resolving types other than ref types during inequality handling. This patch adds in the binding checks and `bails` if the bound variable is of the wrong type. #634
* Refactor AttributeCache populator code for use from pull.
* Pre: add to_value_rc to Cloned.
* Pre: add From<StructuredMap> for Binding.
* Pre: clarify Store::open_empty.
* Pre: StructuredMap cleanup.
* Pre: clean up a doc test.
* Split projector crate. Pass schema to projector.
* CLI support for printing bindings.
* Add and use ConjoiningClauses::derive_types_from_find_spec.
* Define pull types.
* Implement pull on top of the attribute cache layer.
* Add pull support to the projector.
* Parse pull expressions.
* Add simple pull support to connection objects.
* Tests for pull.
* Compile with Rust 1.25.
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.
* Review comments.
* Bail on unnamed attribute.
* Make assert_parse_failure_contains safe to use.
* Rework query parser to report better errors for pull.
* Test for mixed wildcard and simple attribute.
@mmacedoeu did a good deal of work to show that Arc instead of Rc
wasn't too difficult in #656, and @rnewman pushed the refactoring
across the line in #659. However, we didn't flip the switch at that
time. For #673, we'd like to include TypedValue instances in errors,
and with error-chain (and failure) error types need to be 'Sync +
'Send, so we need Arc.
This builds on #659 and should also finish #656.
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.
`tx-ids` allows to enumerate transaction IDs efficiently.
`tx-data` allows to extract transaction log data efficiently.
We might eventually allow to filter by impacted attribute sets as well.
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.
