Timelines work starts to perform modifications on the partitions
that go beyond simple allocations. This change pre-emptively protects
partition integrity by asserting that index modifications are legal.
* Add a top-level "syncable" feature.

* Add 'syncable' feature to 'db' crate to conditionally derive serialization for Partition*
This is leading up to syncing with partition support.
Right now, we write code like
```rust
match q_once(q, inputs)?.into_tuple()? {
Some(vs) => match (vs.len(), vs.get(0), vs.get(1)) {
(2, &Some(Binding::Scalar(TypedValue::Long(a))), &Some(Binding::Scalar(TypedValue::Instant(ref b)))) => Some((a, b.clone())),
_ => panic!(),
},
None => None,
}
```
to length-check tuples coming out of the database. It can also lead
to a lot of cloning because references are the easiest thing to hand.
This commit allows to write code like
```rust
match q_once(q, inputs)?.into_tuple()? {
Some((Binding::Scalar(TypedValue::Long(a)), Binding::Scalar(TypedValue::Instant(b)))) => Some((a, b)),
Some(_) => panic!(),
None => None,
}
```
which is generally much easier to reason about.
Perhaps we actually want to subdivide the top-level namespace so that
there is a `mentat::time` module, but I'd prefer to make part of the
process of fixing the public API as we get ready to christen version
1.0.
These are functions on `TermBuilder` itself to prevent mixing mutable
and immutable references in the most natural style. That is,
```
builder.add(e, a, builder.lookup_ref(...))
```
fails because `add` borrows `builder` mutably and `lookup_ref` borrows
`builder` immutably. There's nothing here that requires a specific
builder (since we're not interning lookup refs on the builder, like we
are tempids) so we don't need an instance.
There are a few tricky details to call out here. The first is the
`TransactableValueMarker` trait. This is strictly a marker (like
`Sized`, for example) to give some control over what types can be used
as value types in `Entity` instances. This expression is needed due
to the network of `Into` and `From` relations between the parts of
valid `Entity` instances. This allows to drop the `IntoThing`
work-around trait and use the established patterns. (Observe that
`KnownEntid` makes this a little harder, due to the cross-crate
consistency restrictions.)
The second is that we can get rid `{add,retract}_kw`, since the
network of relations expresses the coercions directly.
The third is that this commit doesn't change the name `TermBuilder`,
even though it is now building `Entity` instances. This is because
there's _already_ an `EntityBuilder` which fixes the `EntityPlace`.
It's not clear whether the existing entity building interface should
be removed or whether both should be renamed. That can be follow-up.
It's not great to keep lifting functionality higher and higher up the
crate hierarchy, but we really do want to intern while we parse.
Eventually, I expect that we will split the `edn` crate into `types`
and `parsing`, and the `types` crate can depend on a more efficient
interning dependency.
With the transition toward parsing with `rust-peg` and away from
`combine`, we're not using some of the many helpers we built to
support our unusual `combine` usage. They can just go!
We're not exposing a uniform API with `mentat::Result` yet, meaning
that early consumers (e.g., the logins work for Mozilla Lockbox) need
to wrap errors from all over the Mentat crate hierarchy.
I elected to keep Tolstoy using `failure::Error`, because Tolstoy
looks rather more like a high-level application (and will continue to
do so for a while) than a production-ready mid- or low-level API.
* Delete the (apparently unused) EntId
* Rename edn's Entid to EntidOrIdent to avoid confusion with the Entid that's actually an i64
* Fix travis beta bustage (This is actually unrelated to entids, but is a trivial fix nonetheless)
This is a big deck-chair re-arrangement. This puts FindQuery into
query-algebrizer and puts the validation from ParsedFindQuery ->
FindQuery their as well.
Some tests were re-homed for this.
In addition, the little-used maplit crate dependency was replaced with
inline expressions.
* 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!

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.

The only choice involved in this commit is that of replacing the

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.

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.
