Managing store's trees.
Tree
provides immutable, in-memory partial mirror of the store, with lazy reads and delayed writes.
Trees are like staging area in Git: they are immutable temporary non-persistent areas (they disappear if the host crash), held in memory for efficiency, where reads are done lazily and writes are done only when needed on commit: if you modify a key twice, only the last change will be written to the store when you commit.
val empty : unit -> tree
empty ()
is the empty tree. The empty tree does not have associated backend configuration values, as they can perform in-memory operation, independently of any given backend.
of_contents c
is the subtree built from the contents c
.
val kinded_hash_t :
[ `Contents of hash * metadata | `Node of hash ] Irmin.Type.t
pruned h
is a purely in-memory tree with the hash h
. Such trees can be used as children of other in-memory tree nodes, for instance in order to compute the hash of the parent, but they cannot be dereferenced.
Any operation that would require loading the contents of a pruned node (e.g. calling find
on one of its children) will instead raise a Pruned_hash
exception. Attempting to export a tree containing pruned sub-trees to a repository will fail similarly.
kind t k
is the type of s
in t
. It could either be a tree node or some file contents. It is None
if k
is not present in t
.
val is_empty : tree -> bool
diff x y
is the difference of contents between x
and y
.
Operations on lazy nodes can fail if the underlying store does not contain the expected hash.
The exception raised by functions that attempt to load pruned
tree nodes.
module Contents : sig ... end
Operations on lazy tree contents.
find_all t k
is Some (b, m)
if k
is associated to the contents b
and metadata m
in t
and None
if k
is not present in t
.
length t key
is the number of files and sub-nodes stored under k
in t
.
It is equivalent to List.length (list t k)
but backends might optimise this call: for instance it's a constant time operation in irmin-pack
.
cache
defaults to true
, see caching
for an explanation of the parameter.
find
is similar to find_all
but it discards metadata.
Same as find_all
but raise Invalid_arg
if k
is not present in t
.
list t key
is the list of files and sub-nodes stored under k
in t
. The result order is not specified but is stable.
offset
and length
are used for pagination.
cache
defaults to true
, see caching
for an explanation of the parameter.
add t k c
is the tree where the key k
is bound to the contents c
but is similar to t
for other bindings.
val update :
tree ->
key ->
?metadata:metadata ->
(contents option -> contents option) ->
tree Lwt.t
update t k f
is the tree t'
that is the same as t
for all keys except k
, and whose binding for k
is determined by f (find t k)
.
If k
refers to an internal node of t
, f
is called with None
to determine the value with which to replace it.
remove t k
is the tree where k
bindings has been removed but is similar to t
for other bindings.
find_tree t k
is Some v
if k
is associated to v
in t
. It is None
if k
is not present in t
.
get_tree t k
is v
if k
is associated to v
in t
. Raise Invalid_arg
if k
is not present in t
.
add_tree t k v
is the tree where the key k
is bound to the non-empty tree v
but is similar to t
for other bindings.
If v
is empty, this is equivalent to remove t k
.
update_tree t k f
is the tree t'
that is the same as t
for all subtrees except under k
, and whose subtree at k
is determined by f (find_tree t k)
.
f
returning either None
or Some empty
causes the subtree at k
to be unbound (i.e. it is equivalent to remove t k
).
val merge : tree Irmin.Merge.t
merge
is the 3-way merge function for trees.
val destruct : tree -> [ `Node of node | `Contents of Contents.t * metadata ]
General-purpose destructor for trees.
val empty_marks : unit -> marks
empty_marks ()
is an empty collection of marks.
The type for fold
's force
parameter. `True
forces the fold to read the objects of the lazy nodes and contents. `False f
is applying f
on every lazy node and content value instead.
The type for fold
's uniq
parameters. `False
folds over all the nodes. `True
does not recurse on nodes already seen. `Marks m
uses the collection of marks m
to store the cache of keys: the fold will modify m
. This can be used for incremental folds.
The type for fold depths.
Eq d
folds over nodes and contents of depth exactly d
.Lt d
folds over nodes and contents of depth strictly less than d
.Gt d
folds over nodes and contents of depth strictly more than d
.Le d
is Eq d
and Lt d
. Ge d
is Eq d
and Gt d
.
val depth_t : depth Irmin.Type.t
val fold :
?order:[ `Sorted | `Undefined | `Random of Random.State.t ] ->
?force:'a force ->
?cache:bool ->
?uniq:uniq ->
?pre:'a node_fn ->
?post:'a node_fn ->
?depth:depth ->
?contents:(key -> contents -> 'a -> 'a Lwt.t) ->
?node:(key -> node -> 'a -> 'a Lwt.t) ->
?tree:(key -> tree -> 'a -> 'a Lwt.t) ->
tree ->
'a ->
'a Lwt.t
fold f t acc
folds f
over t
's leafs.
For every node n
, ui n
is a leaf node, call f path n
. Otherwise:
pre path n
. By default pre
is the identity;fold
on each children.post path n
; By default post
is the identity.See force
for details about the force
parameters. By default it is `True
.
See uniq
for details about the uniq
parameters. By default it is `False
.
The fold depth is controlled by the depth
parameter.
cache
defaults to false
, see caching
for an explanation of the parameter.
If order
is `Sorted
(the default), the elements are traversed in lexicographic order of their keys. If `Random state
, they are traversed in a random order. For large nodes, these two modes are memory-consuming, use `Undefined
for a more memory efficient fold
.
type stats = {
nodes : int;
Number of node.
*)leafs : int;
Number of leafs.
*)skips : int;
Number of lazy nodes.
*)depth : int;
Maximal depth.
*)width : int;
Maximal width.
*)}
The type for tree stats.
val stats_t : stats Irmin.Type.t
stats ~force t
are t
's statistics. If force
is true, this will force the reading of lazy nodes. By default it is false
.
The type for concrete trees.
val concrete_t : concrete Irmin.Type.t
The value-type for concrete
.
to_concrete t
is the concrete tree equivalent of the subtree t
.
module Proof : sig ... end
val clear : ?depth:int -> tree -> unit
clear ?depth t
clears all caches in the tree t
for subtrees with a depth higher than depth
. If depth
is not set, all of the subtrees are cleared.
A call to clear
doesn't discard the subtrees of t
, only their cache are discarded. Even the lazily loaded and unmodified subtrees remain.
val counters : unit -> counters
val dump_counters : unit Fmt.t
val inspect :
tree ->
[ `Contents | `Node of [ `Map | `Hash | `Value | `Pruned ] ]
/
Internals Useful for testing purposes only.
module Env : sig ... end
val kinded_hash : ?cache:bool -> tree -> kinded_hash
kinded_hash t
is c
's kinded hash.
val of_hash : Repo.t -> kinded_hash -> tree option Lwt.t
of_hash r h
is the the tree object in r
having h
as hash, or None
is no such tree object exists.
val shallow : Repo.t -> kinded_hash -> tree
shallow r h
is the shallow tree object with the hash h
. No check is performed to verify if h
actually exists in r
.
type ('proof, 'result) producer :=
repo ->
kinded_hash ->
(tree -> (tree * 'result) Lwt.t) ->
('proof * 'result) Lwt.t
produce r h f
runs f
on top of a real store r
, producing a proof and a reulst using the initial root hash h
.
The trees produced during f
's computation will carry the full history of reads. This history will be reset when f
is complete so subtrees escaping the scope of f
will not cause memory leaks.
It is possible to call produce_proof
recursively. In that case, each input trees will have their own history of reads and will contain only the reads needed to unshallow that corresponding trees. Proof trees proof should then interact as if they were all unshallowed (note: in the case of nested proofs, it's unclear what verify_proof
should do...).
type ('proof, 'result) verifier :=
'proof ->
(tree -> (tree * 'result) Lwt.t) ->
(tree * 'result, [ `Msg of string ]) result Lwt.t
verify t f
runs f
in checking mode, loading data from the proof as needed.
When the result is Ok (t, r)
, t
is the generated tree after f
has completed and r
is the result of the computation. More operations can be run on t
, but it won't be able to access the underlying storage and will raise Dangling_hash
when trying to read unloaded parts of t
.
When the result is Error msg
, the proof is rejected.
