Overview

CPS temporal data query allows the user to fetch data based on multiple filtering criteria. This data can be used by an analytical system to take decisions.

Filtering Criteria

As it is time-series data, it can be filtered based on three main criteria:

Datetime
  • Data in last X hours 
  • Data after a particular Data after specified DateTime (To be supported in Istanbul Release)
  • Data between a date rangebefore specified DateTime 
  • Last X records
DataTypes in CPS Core
  • Dataspace & schema-set (To be supported in Istanbul Release)

  • Dataspace & anchor (To be supported in Istanbul Release)
  • Dataspace & multiple anchors - To improve performance, if there is a need to fetch data for multiple anchors.
Payload (To be partially supported in Istanbul Release)
  • Based on a field in the payload. These criteria need schema-set to be fixed to search in the same set of anchors. The details of the format are defined here

We will implement only the basic APIs first and will add complex ones when required. 

Other Parameters 

There are other parameters, listed below, that can have an impact on the response. 

maxSize
NoNameTypeDefaultPurposeExample
1indexpageNumberint0

The query output can have many rows so it is important to limit the fetched data. To limit the number of records and to provide pagination, these two parameters can be used. 

pageNumber starts from "index" parameter represents the page number, starts with 0, and maxSize is the page size.

0"

pageLimit can't be greater than the maximum value configured  in the application 


2pageLimitint1000
3pointInTimeTimestamp (ISO Format)CurrentDateTime

When a user uses the APIs with pagination (by running several stateless requests), the result set can be impacted by new states stored while navigating. This can be a challenge to retrieve a consistent result set. 

This parameter must be used to avoid this issue. However, It will not provide a consistent result set if data, that meet search criteria, get deleted because of the cleanup triggered by the retention policy.

sortBysort

string LATEST_FIRSTPossible values - OLDEST_FIRST & LATEST_FIRSTtimestamp:desc

Data is by default returned sorted by the timestamp in descending order. It can be overridden and data can be sorted by multiple fields.

sort=timestamp:asc,anchor:desc

Assumptions

Payload Filter Format 
Anchor
payloadFilterFormat
payloadFilterFormat

The data can be filtered, using JSON format, on one  field at any level, but it is important to provide the entire path from the root. The below JSON is used as an example to explain the filtering format

Proposed APIs

The GET Endpoints URI contains information about the dataspace and anchor anchors and the rest of the filtering the filtering criteria are passed as query parameter. The below-mentioned query parameters which are supported by all endpoints are.

  1. after - timestamp ( ISO Format) to consider data created after the specified Timestamp
  2. payload simplePayloadFilter - to define payload filtering criteria
  3. index pageNumber - to define the page number (required for pagination)
  4. maxSize pageLimit - to limit the response size
  5. pointInTime - to consider data changed or added before this time.
  6. sortBy sort - to define the order of data in the result set

The response format for endpoints is the same and defined here

By Dataspace and Anchor

URL: GET /dataspaces/{dataspace-name}​/anchors/{anchor-name}​/history

Example: GET /dataspaces/{dataspace-name}​/anchors/{anchor-name}​/history?after=2021-03-21T00:00:00-0:00&payloadsimplePayloadFilter={"idNearRTRIC":"1"}&maxSizepageLimit=500

By Dataspace and Schema-set

URL: ​GET /dataspaces/{dataspace-name}/anchors/history?schemaSet={schemaset-name}

Example: GET /dataspaces/{dataspace-name}/anchors?schemaSet={schemaset-name}&after=2021-03-21T00:00:00-0:00&payloadsimplePayloadFilter={"idNearRTRIC":"1"}

Response
