Marshall McMullen commented on ZOOKEEPER-965:
---------------------------------------------
Ted, the changes in 5ce6043f4 look great to me. Much simpler than how I
originally coded it. Thanks very much for refactoring that mess!
Yes, I think this is the final state unless Benjamin sees anything amiss in my
most recent commit to refactor the large multi-op case statement into a couple
of functions.
Otherwise I think we've finally finished this massive beast.

> The basic idea is to have a single method called "multi" that will accept a
> list of create, delete, update or check objects each of which has a desired
> version or file state in the case of create. If all of the version and
> existence constraints can be satisfied, then all updates will be done
> atomically.
> Two API styles have been suggested. One has a list as above and the other
> style has a "Transaction" that allows builder-like methods to build a set of
> updates and a commit method to finalize the transaction. This can trivially
> be reduced to the first kind of API so the list based API style should be
> considered the primitive and the builder style should be implemented as
> syntactic sugar.
> The total size of all the data in all updates and creates in a single
> transaction should be limited to 1MB.
> Implementation-wise this capability can be done using standard ZK internals.
> The changes include:
> - update to ZK clients to all the new call
> - additional wire level request
> - on the server, in the code that converts transactions to idempotent form,
> the code should be slightly extended to convert a list of operations to
> idempotent form.
> - on the client, a down-rev server that rejects the multi-update should be
> detected gracefully and an informative exception should be thrown.
> To facilitate shared development, I have established a github repository at
> https://github.com/tdunning/zookeeper and am happy to extend committer
> status to anyone who agrees to donate their code back to Apache. The final
> patch will be attached to this bug as normal.
