Parameters

Signature

Irmin stores

Irmin stores are tree-like read-write stores with extended capabilities. They allow an application (or a collection of applications) to work with multiple local states, which can be forked and merged programmatically, without having to rely on a global state. In a way very similar to version control systems, Irmin local states are called branches.

There are two kinds of store in Irmin: the ones based on persistent named branches and the ones based temporary detached heads. These exist relative to a local, larger (and shared) store, and have some (shared) contents. This is exactly the same as usual version control systems, that the informed user can see as an implicit purely functional data-structure.

type repo

The type for Irmin repositories.

type t

The type for Irmin stores.

type step = Schema.Path.step

The type for key steps.

val step_t : step Irmin.Type.t
type path = Schema.Path.t

The type for store keys. A key is a sequence of steps.

val path_t : path Irmin.Type.t
type metadata = Schema.Metadata.t

The type for store metadata.

val metadata_t : metadata Irmin.Type.t
type contents = Schema.Contents.t

The type for store contents.

val contents_t : contents Irmin.Type.t
type node

The type for store nodes.

val node_t : node Irmin.Type.t
type tree

The type for store trees.

val tree_t : tree Irmin.Type.t
type hash = Schema.Hash.t

The type for object hashes.

val hash_t : hash Irmin.Type.t
type commit

Type for `Commit identifiers. Similar to Git's commit SHA1s.

val commit_t : repo -> commit Irmin.Type.t

commit_t r is the value type for commit.

type branch = Schema.Branch.t

Type for persistent branch names. Branches usually share a common global namespace and it's the user's responsibility to avoid name clashes.

val branch_t : branch Irmin.Type.t
type slice

Type for store slices.

val slice_t : slice Irmin.Type.t
type info = Schema.Info.t

The type for commit info.

val info_t : info Irmin.Type.t
type lca_error = [
  1. | `Max_depth_reached
  2. | `Too_many_lcas
]

The type for errors associated with functions computing least common ancestors

val lca_error_t : lca_error Irmin.Type.t
type ff_error = [
  1. | `No_change
  2. | `Rejected
  3. | lca_error
]

The type for errors for Head.fast_forward.

val ff_error_t : ff_error Irmin.Type.t
module Info : sig ... end
val contents_key_t : contents_key Irmin.Type.t
type node_key = Schema.Hash.t node_key
val node_key_t : node_key Irmin.Type.t
type commit_key = Schema.Hash.t commit_key
val commit_key_t : commit_key Irmin.Type.t
module Repo : sig ... end

Repositories.

val empty : repo -> t Lwt.t

empty repo is a temporary, empty store. Becomes a normal temporary store after the first update.

val main : repo -> t Lwt.t

main r is a persistent store based on r's main branch. This operation is cheap, can be repeated multiple times.

val of_branch : repo -> branch -> t Lwt.t

of_branch r name is a persistent store based on the branch name. Similar to main, but use name instead of Irmin.Branch.S.main.

val of_commit : commit -> t Lwt.t

of_commit c is a temporary store, based on the commit c.

Temporary stores do not have stable names: instead they can be addressed using the hash of the current commit. Temporary stores are similar to Git's detached heads. In a temporary store, all the operations are performed relative to the current head and update operations can modify the current head: the current stores's head will automatically become the new head obtained after performing the update.

val repo : t -> repo

repo t is the repository containing t.

val tree : t -> tree Lwt.t

tree t is t's current tree. Contents is not allowed at the root of the tree.

module Status : sig ... end
val status : t -> Status.t

status t is t's status. It can either be a branch, a commit or empty.

module Head : sig ... end

Managing the store's heads.

module Hash : Irmin.Hash.S with type t = hash

Object hashes.

module Commit : sig ... end

Commit defines immutable objects to describe store updates.

module Contents : sig ... end

Contents provides base functions for the store's contents.

module Tree : sig ... end

Managing store's trees.

Updates

type write_error = [
  1. | Irmin.Merge.conflict
  2. | `Too_many_retries of int
  3. | `Test_was of tree option
]

The type for write errors.

  • Merge conflict.
  • Concurrent transactions are competing to get the current operation committed and too many attemps have been tried (livelock).
  • A "test and set" operation has failed and the current value is v instead of the one we were waiting for.
val write_error_t : write_error Irmin.Type.t
val set : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> contents -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.t

set t k ~info v sets k to the value v in t. Discard any previous results but ensure that no operation is lost in the history.

This function always uses Metadata.default as metadata. Use set_tree with `Contents (c, m) for different ones.

When clear is set (the default), the tree cache is emptied upon the function's completion, mirroring the effect of invoking Tree.clear.

The result is Error `Too_many_retries if the concurrent operations do not allow the operation to commit to the underlying storage layer (livelock).

val set_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> contents -> unit Lwt.t

set_exn is like set but raise Failure _ instead of using a result type.

val set_tree : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> tree -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.t

set_tree is like set but for trees.

val set_tree_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> tree -> unit Lwt.t

set_tree is like set_exn but for trees.

val remove : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.t

remove t ~info k remove any bindings to k in t.

The result is Error `Too_many_retries if the concurrent operations do not allow the operation to commit to the underlying storage layer (livelock).

val remove_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> unit Lwt.t

remove_exn is like remove but raise Failure _ instead of a using result type.

val test_and_set : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> test:contents option -> set:contents option -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.t

test_and_set ~test ~set is like set but it atomically checks that the tree is test before modifying it to set.

This function always uses Metadata.default as metadata. Use test_and_set_tree with `Contents (c, m) for different ones.

The result is Error (`Test t) if the current tree is t instead of test.

The result is Error `Too_many_retries if the concurrent operations do not allow the operation to commit to the underlying storage layer (livelock).

val test_and_set_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> test:contents option -> set:contents option -> unit Lwt.t

test_and_set_exn is like test_and_set but raise Failure _ instead of using a result type.

val test_and_set_tree : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> test:tree option -> set:tree option -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.t

test_and_set_tree is like test_and_set but for trees.

val test_and_set_tree_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> test:tree option -> set:tree option -> unit Lwt.t

test_and_set_tree_exn is like test_and_set_exn but for trees.

val test_set_and_get : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:(unit -> info) -> t -> path -> test:contents option -> set:contents option -> (commit option, write_error) result Lwt.t

test_set_and_get is like test_and_set except it also returns the commit associated with updating the store with the new value if the test_and_set is successful. No commit is returned if there was no update to the store.

val test_set_and_get_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:(unit -> info) -> t -> path -> test:contents option -> set:contents option -> commit option Lwt.t

test_set_and_get_exn is like test_set_and_get but raises Failure _ instead.

val test_set_and_get_tree : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:(unit -> info) -> t -> path -> test:tree option -> set:tree option -> (commit option, write_error) result Lwt.t

test_set_and_get_tree is like test_set_and_get but for a tree

val test_set_and_get_tree_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:(unit -> info) -> t -> path -> test:tree option -> set:tree option -> commit option Lwt.t

test_set_and_get_tree_exn is like test_set_and_get_tree but raises Failure _ instead.

val merge : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> old:contents option -> t -> path -> contents option -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.t

merge ~old is like set but merge the current tree and the new tree using old as ancestor in case of conflicts.

This function always uses Metadata.default as metadata. Use merge_tree with `Contents (c, m) for different ones.

The result is Error (`Conflict c) if the merge failed with the conflict c.

The result is Error `Too_many_retries if the concurrent operations do not allow the operation to commit to the underlying storage layer (livelock).

val merge_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> old:contents option -> t -> path -> contents option -> unit Lwt.t

merge_exn is like merge but raise Failure _ instead of using a result type.

val merge_tree : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> old:tree option -> t -> path -> tree option -> (unit, write_error) result Lwt.t

merge_tree is like merge_tree but for trees.

val merge_tree_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> info:Info.f -> old:tree option -> t -> path -> tree option -> unit Lwt.t

with_tree t k ~info f replaces atomically the subtree v under k in the store t by the contents of the tree f v, using the commit info info ().

If v = f v and allow_empty is unset (default) then, the operation is a no-op.

If v != f v and no other changes happen concurrently, f v becomes the new subtree under k. If other changes happen concurrently to that operations, the semantics depend on the value of strategy:

  • if strategy = `Set, use set and discard any concurrent updates to k.
  • if strategy = `Test_and_set (default), use test_and_set and ensure that no concurrent operations are updating k.
  • if strategy = `Merge, use merge and ensure that concurrent updates and merged with the values present at the beginning of the transaction.

Note: Irmin transactions provides snapshot isolation guarantees: reads and writes are isolated in every transaction, but only write conflicts are visible on commit.

val with_tree_exn : ?clear:bool -> ?retries:int -> ?allow_empty:bool -> ?parents:commit list -> ?strategy:[ `Set | `Test_and_set | `Merge ] -> info:Info.f -> t -> path -> (tree option -> tree option Lwt.t) -> unit Lwt.t

with_tree_exn is like with_tree but raise Failure _ instead of using a return type.

Clones

val clone : src:t -> dst:branch -> t Lwt.t

clone ~src ~dst makes dst points to Head.get src. dst is created if needed. Remove the current contents en dst if src is empty.

Watches

type watch

The type for store watches.

val watch : t -> ?init:commit -> (commit Irmin.Diff.t -> unit Lwt.t) -> watch Lwt.t

watch t f calls f every time the contents of t's head is updated.

Note: even if f might skip some head updates, it will never be called concurrently: all consecutive calls to f are done in sequence, so we ensure that the previous one ended before calling the next one.

val watch_key : t -> path -> ?init:commit -> ((commit * tree) Irmin.Diff.t -> unit Lwt.t) -> watch Lwt.t

watch_key t key f calls f every time the key's value is added, removed or updated. If the current branch is deleted, no signal is sent to the watcher.

val unwatch : watch -> unit Lwt.t

unwatch w disable w. Return once the w is fully disabled.

Merges and Common Ancestors

type 'a merge = info:Info.f -> ?max_depth:int -> ?n:int -> 'a -> (unit, Irmin.Merge.conflict) result Lwt.t

The type for merge functions.

val merge_into : into:t -> t merge

merge_into ~into:x ~info:i t merges t's current branch into x's current branch using the info i. After that operation, the two stores are still independent. Similar to git merge <branch>.

val merge_with_branch : t -> branch merge

Same as merge but with a branch ID.

val merge_with_commit : t -> commit merge

Same as merge but with a commit_id.

val lcas : ?max_depth:int -> ?n:int -> t -> t -> (commit list, lca_error) result Lwt.t

lca ?max_depth ?n msg t1 t2 returns the collection of least common ancestors between the heads of t1 and t2 branches.

  • max_depth is the maximum depth of the exploration (default is max_int). Return Error `Max_depth_reached if this depth is exceeded.
  • n is the maximum expected number of lcas. Stop the exploration as soon as n lcas are found. Return Error `Too_many_lcas if more lcas are found.
val lcas_with_branch : t -> ?max_depth:int -> ?n:int -> branch -> (commit list, lca_error) result Lwt.t

Same as lcas but takes a branch ID as argument.

val lcas_with_commit : t -> ?max_depth:int -> ?n:int -> commit -> (commit list, lca_error) result Lwt.t

Same as lcas but takes a commmit as argument.

History

module History : Graph.Sig.P with type V.t = commit

An history is a DAG of heads.

val history : ?depth:int -> ?min:commit list -> ?max:commit list -> t -> History.t Lwt.t

history ?depth ?min ?max t is a view of the history of the store t, of depth at most depth, starting from the t's head (or from max if the head is not set) and stopping at min if specified.

val last_modified : ?depth:int -> ?n:int -> t -> path -> commit list Lwt.t

last_modified ?number c k is the list of the last number commits that modified path, in ascending order of date. depth is the maximum depth to be explored in the commit graph, if any. Default value for number is 1.

of_backend_commit r k c is the commit associated with the backend commit object c that hash key k in r.

Save a content into the database

Save a tree into the database. Does not do any reads.

When clear is set (the default), the tree cache is emptied upon the function's completion, mirroring the effect of invoking Tree.clear.

Deprecated

val master : repo -> t Lwt.t
  • deprecated

    Use main instead

Integrity Check

val integrity_check : ?ppf:Format.formatter -> ?heads:commit list -> auto_repair:bool -> repo -> ([> `Fixed of int | `No_error ], [> `Cannot_fix of string | `Corrupted of int ]) result Lwt.t

Checks the integrity of the repository. if auto_repair is true, will also try to fix the issues. ppf is a formatter for progressive reporting. `Fixed and `Corrupted report the number of fixed/corrupted entries.

val integrity_check_inodes : ?heads:commit list -> repo -> ([> `No_error ], [> `Cannot_fix of string ]) result Lwt.t
val traverse_pack_file : [ `Reconstruct_index of [ `In_place | `Output of string ] | `Check_index | `Check_and_fix_index ] -> Irmin.config -> unit
val test_traverse_pack_file : [ `Reconstruct_index of [ `In_place | `Output of string ] | `Check_index | `Check_and_fix_index ] -> Irmin.config -> unit

Chunking

val split : repo -> unit

split t starts a fresh chunk file for appending data. Only allowed on stores that allow gc.

Raises RO_Not_Allowed if called by a readonly instance.

Raises Split_forbidden_during_batch if called inside a batch operation.

Raises Multiple_empty_chunks if no data was added to the currently-used chunk file.

Raises Split_disallowed if is_split_allowed is false.

TODO: Detail exceptions raised.

val is_split_allowed : repo -> bool

is_split_allowed repo returns if split is supported. Currently returns the same value as Gc.is_allowed.

Lower layer

val add_volume : repo -> unit

add_volume t creates a new empty volume in the lower layer.

Raises RO_Not_Allowed if called by a readonly instance.

Raises Add_volume_forbidden_during_gc if called while a GC is running.

Raises Multiple_empty_volumes if there is already an empty volume.

On-disk

val reload : repo -> unit

reload t reloads a readonly pack with the files on disk. Raises invalid_argument if called by a read-write pack.

val flush : repo -> unit

flush t flush read-write pack on disk. Raises RO_Not_Allowed if called by a readonly instance.

val create_one_commit_store : repo -> commit_key -> string -> unit Lwt.t

create_one_commit_store t key path creates a new store at path from the existing one, containing only one commit, specified by the key. Note that this operation is blocking.

It requires that the files existing on disk when the operation is launched, remain on disk until the operation completes. In particular, a Gc running in a different process could remove files from disk.

Garbage Collection

module Gc : sig ... end

Snapshots

module Snapshot : sig ... end

Statistics

val stats : dump_blob_paths_to:string option -> commit:commit -> repo -> unit Lwt.t

Internals
