timely 0.9.0

A low-latency data-parallel dataflow system in Rust
Documentation
//! Traits and types for replaying captured timely dataflow streams.
//!
//! A type can be replayed into any timely dataflow scope if it presents as an
//! iterator whose `Item` type implements `EventIterator` with the same timestamp.
//! Other types can implement the `ReplayInto` trait, but this should be done with
//! care, as there is a protocol the replayer follows that must be respected if the
//! computation is to make sense.
//!
//! #Protocol
//!
//! The stream of events produced by each `EventIterator` implementation must satisfy,
//! starting from a default timestamp of `Default::default()` with count 1,
//!
//! 1. The progress messages may only increment the count for a timestamp if
//!    the cumulative count for some prior or equal timestamp is positive.
//! 2. The data messages map only use a timestamp if the cumulative count for
//!    some prior or equal timestamp is positive.
//!
//! Alternately, the sequence of events should, starting from an initial count of 1
//! for the timestamp `Default::default()`, describe decrements to held capabilities
//! or the production of capabilities in their future, or messages sent at times in
//! the future of held capabilities.
//!
//! The order is very important here. One can move `Event::Message` events arbitrarily
//! earlier in the sequence, and `Event::Progress` events arbitrarily later, but one
//! cannot move a `Event::Progress` message that discards a last capability before any
//! `Event::Message` that would use that capability.
//!
//! For an example, the `Operate<T>` implementation for `capture::CaptureOperator<T, D, P>`
//! records exactly what data is presented at the operator, both in terms of progress
//! messages and data received.
//!
//! #Notes
//!
//! Provided no stream of events reports the consumption of capabilities it does not hold,
//! any interleaving of the streams of events will still maintain the invariants above.
//! This means that each timely dataflow replay operator can replay any number of streams,
//! allowing the replay to occur in a timely dataflow computation with more or fewer workers
//! than that in which the stream was captured.
