Continuing the previous incomplete email:)
Emmanuel wants to update the txns branch and I think it is a good time
to give a good status update. Following is what I have been doing and
the plan:
*Log Manager: A general log manager that can be used by txns as well.
Note that these logs are on disk. This is tested.
*Txn and Txn log manager:Most of the services that should be provided
by the txn manager is coded:
*begin, commit, abort of txns
* keeping track of changes for read-write txns.
*expose interface for txns to wal their changes.
One service missing here is keeping track of the read/changed Dn set
to do txn verification and conflict detection for read-write txn.
*Master table, index and index cursor wrappers: These provide
transactionally consistent views of entries and index data. They merge
what they read from their wrapped objects with the txn log manager. To
make this easier, txn manager keeps track of index changes for a
read/write txn in a summary form. One thing to note is that not all
information that wrappers expose is transactionall consistent. One
example is count methods. No need to %100 accurate on this. For these
cases, the wrapper just calls the wrapped object.
*For all the above, interfaces are defined in core-api and
implementations and internal interfaces are in core. Also moved,
index, indexcursor, table and related interfaces and helper classes to
core-api from xdbm-partition.
The todo is the following:
*add changes to keep track of dn space changes.
*test txn manager services
*move the modification code path in AbstractBTreePartition in xdbm to
high up to core. Probably modifications should be done in
partitionNexus and partition nexus should handle preparing txn log
edits and wal them. The overall flow for modifications will be:
-DefaultDirectoryService:
-begintxn
-execute interceptor chain
- handle txn abort, or conflict.
*move xdbm-search to core as well. Making search transactional will
mostly be mostly mechanica after this point I think(hope). It should
just use the wrappers the txn manager provides for index, master and
cursors it gets from the partitions.
*handle caches various interceptors keep. I am thinking of handling
this with a common read-write lock.
