arrangement.rs

//! Arranges a collection into a re-usable trace structure.
//!
//! The `arrange` operator applies to a differential dataflow `Collection` and returns an `Arranged`
//! structure, provides access to both an indexed form of accepted updates as well as a stream of
//! batches of newly arranged updates.
//!
//! Several operators (`join`, `reduce`, and `count`, among others) are implemented against `Arranged`,
//! and can be applied directly to arranged data instead of the collection. Internally, the operators
//! will borrow the shared state, and listen on the timely stream for shared batches of data. The
//! resources to index the collection---communication, computation, and memory---are spent only once,
//! and only one copy of the index needs to be maintained as the collection changes.
//!
//! The arranged collection is stored in a trace, whose append-only operation means that it is safe to
//! share between the single `arrange` writer and multiple readers. Each reader is expected to interrogate
//! the trace only at times for which it knows the trace is complete, as indicated by the frontiers on its
//! incoming channels. Failing to do this is "safe" in the Rust sense of memory safety, but the reader may
//! see ill-defined data at times for which the trace is not complete. (All current implementations
//! commit only completed data to the trace).
