Module Indexable.Check_closed_store

Parameters

module CA : S

Signature

include S with type key = CA.key and type hash = CA.hash and type value = CA.value
include Indexable_intf.S_without_key_impl with type key = CA.key with type hash = CA.hash with type value = CA.value

Read-only stores

Read-only stores are store where it is only possible to read existing values.

type -'a t

The type for stores. The 'a phantom type carries information about the store mutability.

type key = CA.key

The type for keys.

type value = CA.value

The type for raw values.

val mem : [> Import.read ] t -> key -> bool

mem t k is true iff k is present in t.

val find : [> Import.read ] t -> key -> value option

find t k is Some v if k is associated to v in t and None is k is not present in t.

val close : 'a t -> unit

close t frees up all the resources associated with t. Any operations run on a closed handle will raise Closed.

type hash = CA.hash

The type of hashes of value.

val add : [> Import.write ] t -> value -> key

Write the contents of a value to the store, and obtain its key.

val unsafe_add : [> Import.write ] t -> hash -> value -> key

Same as add but allows specifying the value's hash directly. The backend might choose to discard that hash and/or can be corrupt if the hash is not consistent.

val index : [> Import.read ] t -> hash -> key option

Indexing maps the hash of a value to a corresponding key of that value in the store. For stores that are addressed by hashes directly, this is typically fun _t h -> Lwt.return (Key.of_hash h); for stores with more complex addressing schemes, index may attempt a lookup operation in the store.

In general, indexing is best-effort and reveals no information about the membership of the value in the store. In particular:

  • index t hash = Some key doesn't guarantee mem t key: the value with hash hash may still be absent from the store;
  • index t hash = None doesn't guarantee that there is no key such that mem t key and Key.to_hash key = hash: the value may still be present in the store under a key that is not indexed.
val batch : Import.read t -> ([ Import.read | Import.write ] t -> 'a) -> 'a

batch t f applies the writes in f in a separate batch. The exact guarantees depend on the implementation.

module Key : Key.S with type t = key and type hash = hash
val make_closeable : 'a CA.t -> 'a t

make_closeable t returns a version of t that raises Brassaia.Closed if an operation is performed when it is already closed.

val get_if_open_exn : 'a t -> 'a CA.t

get_if_open_exn t returns the store (without close checks) if it is open; otherwise raises Brassaia.Closed
