core_api/schema.rs
1//! Declarative schema-as-code for mushroomdb.
2//!
3//! [`Schema`] is a serde-JSON-round-trippable description of the fulltext
4//! indexes, materialized views, and linking rules that should exist in a
5//! database. [`GraphDb::apply_schema`] applies the schema idempotently:
6//! items already matching the live database are left untouched (no WAL write),
7//! items that differ are replaced (delete + create), and items absent from the
8//! schema are left in place (no pruning — destructive removal is out of scope
9//! for this plan).
10//!
11//! # Application order
12//!
13//! 1. **Fulltext** indexes are applied first: rules may later benefit from
14//! freshly-enabled fulltext state during backfill, even though the current
15//! rule predicates do not require it.
16//! 2. **Views** are applied second: they are cheaper to backfill than rules
17//! and logically independent of rules.
18//! 3. **Rules** are applied last. Creating a rule triggers a full backfill
19//! of derived edges, which can be expensive for large graphs — document the
20//! cost at the call site.
21//!
22//! # Update semantics
23//!
24//! When a schema item (rule or view) exists in the database but its definition
25//! differs from the one in the schema, it is replaced via `delete_X` +
26//! `create_X`. For rules, the `create_rule` call triggers a full backfill of
27//! derived edges — this can be expensive for large graphs. The re-backfill
28//! cost is inherent to any definition change (the old edge set may not be
29//! valid under the new predicate), so there is no cheaper path in v1.
30//!
31//! # No pruning
32//!
33//! Items that live in the database but are absent from the schema are left
34//! untouched. Destructive removal ("prune items not in the schema") waits for
35//! explicit demand — YAGNI for this plan.
