Detailed Description

Space: The abstract space.

This is the abstract parent of DataSpaces, Fields/SemSpaces and Snippet/Concept. A Space is an abstraction over many blocks that provides:

An abstraction in the form of rows and columns.
A mechanism to load and update its own metadata in a persisted way.

Through inheritance, it provides su things as:

Sharding and replication across a cluster.
A mechanism to load, update, invalidate blocks. This supports continuous update like in time series.
Indexing by time, key, embedding, etc.

The class Space is mostly empty. It provides the parent virtual interface and the parents of all the auxiliary classes used to access data.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Space()

jazz_bebop::Space::Space	(	pBaseAPI	api,
		pName	a_name
	)

Bop: Create the Space.

Parameters

api	A pointer to a BaseAPI that provides access to containers.
a_name	The name of the Space.

Member Function Documentation

◆ start()

StatusCode jazz_bebop::Space::start ( )

virtual

Starts the Space service

Returns: SERVICE_NO_ERROR if successful, an error code otherwise.

Reimplemented from jazz_elements::Service.

Reimplemented in jazz_bebop::DataSpaces, jazz_bebop::Fields, and jazz_models::SemSpaces.

◆ shut_down()

StatusCode jazz_bebop::Space::shut_down ( )

virtual

Shuts down the Space Service

Returns: SERVICE_NO_ERROR if successful, an error code otherwise.

Reimplemented from jazz_elements::Service.

◆ load_meta()

virtual StatusCode jazz_bebop::Space::load_meta ( )

inlinevirtual

Load the metadata of the Space.

This method must be implemented by descendants. It will load a record of metadata from //storage_base/storage_ent/name.

Returns: SERVICE_NO_ERROR if successful, an error code otherwise.

◆ save_meta()

virtual StatusCode jazz_bebop::Space::save_meta ( )

inlinevirtual

Save the metadata of the Space.

This method must be implemented by descendants. It will store a record of metadata into //storage_base/storage_ent/name.

Returns: SERVICE_NO_ERROR if successful, an error code otherwise.

◆ num_rows()

virtual RowNumber jazz_bebop::Space::num_rows ( )

inlinevirtual

Return the number of rows in the Space.

Returns: The number of rows in the Space or SPACE_NOT_A_ROW if the Space is invalid.

◆ get_index_data()

virtual void * jazz_bebop::Space::get_index_data ( RowNumber row )

inlinevirtual

Get a pointer to the data of the index of a given row.

Parameters

row	The row number.

Returns: A pointer to the index or nullptr if there is no index. Examples include a vector for an embedding, of a string for a key-based index and a TimePoint for a time-based index.

◆ num_cols()

virtual int jazz_bebop::Space::num_cols ( )

inlinevirtual

Get the number of columns in the Space.

Returns: The number of columns in the Space.

◆ col_name()

virtual pName jazz_bebop::Space::col_name ( int col )

inlinevirtual

Get the name of a column.

Parameters

col	The column index.

Returns: The name of the column or nullptr if the index is out of range.

◆ col_index()

virtual int jazz_bebop::Space::col_index ( pName name )

inlinevirtual

Get the index of a column.

Parameters

name	The name of the column.

Returns: The index of the column or -1 if the column is not found.

◆ locator()

virtual pLocator jazz_bebop::Space::locator	(	RowNumber	row,
		int	col,
		int &	index
	)

inlinevirtual

Get the location of a cell as a Locator.

Parameters

row	The row number.
col	The column index.
index	If the block contains multiple rows, which is the index of `row` in the block.

Returns: A pointer to a Locator object that can be used to access the cell or nullptr if the cell is not found.

◆ where()

virtual pRowSelection jazz_bebop::Space::where ( pChar query )

inlinevirtual

Get a RowSelection from a query.

Parameters

query A query string that is understood by the descendant. In Bop, this is the content of a WHERE clause with a syntax that depends on how the Space is indexed (Time, categorical, Embedding storage, ...).

Returns: A RowSelection object that can be used to iterate over the rows that match the query.

◆ select()

virtual pColSelection jazz_bebop::Space::select ( pChar query )

inlinevirtual

Get a ColSelection from a query.

Parameters

query By default, a list of comma separated column names. Spaces that use descendants of ColSelection may define a different interface.

Returns: A ColSelection object that can be used to iterate over the selected columns. If the query is invalid, the object will be invalid and return no columns. This is intentional since nullptr in a get_row() call means "all columns". An invalid query produces a selection of "no columns".

◆ as()

virtual pCaster jazz_bebop::Space::as ( pChar query )

inlinevirtual

Get the appropriate Caster from the AS clause of a query.

Parameters

query The name of the Caster to get.

Returns: A pointer to the Caster or nullptr if the Caster is not found.

◆ register_caster()

virtual bool jazz_bebop::Space::register_caster ( pCaster cast )

inlinevirtual

Register a Caster descendant to make it available in queries.

Parameters

cast	The Caster to register.

Returns: True if the Caster was successfully registered, false if a Caster with the same name is already registered.

◆ get_row()

virtual StatusCode jazz_bebop::Space::get_row	(	pTransaction &	p_txn,
		RowNumber	row,
		pColSelection	cols = `nullptr`,
		pCaster	cast = `nullptr`
	)

inlinevirtual

Get a row from the Space as a Tuple.

Parameters

p_txn	A transaction that will be used to get the result. It must be destroyed with: p_txn->p_owner->destroy_transaction(p_txn)
row	The row number as obtained from a RowSelection.next() call.
cols	Pointer to a ColSelection to specify columns to be retrieved. If nullptr, all columns are retrieved.
cast	Pointer to a Caster to convert the result. If nullptr, no conversion is done.

Returns: SERVICE_NO_ERROR if successful, an error code otherwise.
