Decisions
# | Description | Details | Decisions |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Assume flat attributes (no complex data types) but data could be stored as json object in SPI impl. for convenience/PoC | ||
2 | SPI Imp NOT using Model (service) current ENM SPI does! |
Open Issues
# | Description | Details | Decisions |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Are we going to have XPath/query builder? | ||
2 | Having a fluent interface in my opinion would be way more intuitive and practical. E.g. //AND of two restrictions Restriction and(Restriction firstRestriction, Restriction secondRestriction) //OR of two restrictions Restriction or(Restriction firstRestriction, Restriction secondRestriction) //NOT of a restriction Restriction not(Restriction restriction) This will give any user of the API an intuitive way to build a complex query and the developer of the API a tree to navigate and translate to SQL (or any other query language). A developer could do something the likes of myQuery.setRestriction(restriction1.and(restrcition2).and(restriction3)) | ||
3 | SPI should be type safe (the SPI impl. has no access to models)
| We can do validation but still store as a string (JSON object). |

High level structure of ENM SPI
This SPI implementation is towards a NoSQL database. The SPI depends on the DPS API and the model service API.
It can be used as a source of ‘inspiration’ however it is important to realize that the SPI implementation was ‘model’ aware - used models heavily to optimize the queries. The SPI implementation also makes a choice of breaking down models to nodes based on MO type and flatten CDTs as properties within the node. There is no concept of MO type or CDTs in Yang so we cannot reuse the same idea.
Query SPI
Name | Definition | Capabilities | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Interface QueryService | Service responsible for dealing with query related features of Data Persistence Service. |
Executes the query and presents the result as an iterator of objects queried for. Will always return the full object from the database.
Executes the query and presents the result as a list. Returns a list of the type of which is based on the Projection used.
Executes the query and presents the result as a list. Will return a list of type Object array.

|
2 | Interface QueryPathService | Service responsible for dealing with path query related features of Data Persistence Service. |
Executes the query ands gets the result as an iterable of 'full' objects queried.
Project the results from points in the query path. Projections allow the user project a single data element from the objects which were found along a query path - these elements can be modelled (i.e. persistence object attributes) or non-modelled (i.e. object fields). |

Gets the object being decorated by the layer of decoration specified.
Passes the attributes supplied by the user for a new persistence object so that they may be verified as required. This method will be invoked when creating a new persistence object but should not be used to set the attribute values, that is the purpose of The purpose of this method is to allow decorators perform actions on the specific attributes supplied by the user, as opposed to the final set of attributes to be applied on the new object, which may contain merged in default values. The implementation of this method may not modify the supplied attribute map as they are passed through the layers of decorators. And if the original map is required for later use it should be copied as it may get changed subsequently when
Initializes the attributes for a new persistence object. This method should be invoked when creating a new persistence object rather than using setAttributes() as it will have different behavior, namely:
The implementation of this method may modify the supplied attribute map as they are passed through the layers of decorators.

Retrieves referencing persistence objects for backpointer names for all uni-directional with backpointer associations referencing this persistence object.
Gets the values for the attributes which have been specifically set on this object. This includes attributes which:
Note that an attribute may have been specifically set to null so the values returned in the map may contain nulls.
Determines if the supplied attribute has been specifically set (includes attributes which were set to null).
