Struct Settings 

pub struct Settings {
    pub database_path: Option<PathBuf>,
    pub config: Config,
    pub embedder: Option<Box<dyn Embedder>>,
    pub snapshot_every_ops: Option<u64>,
    pub snapshot_journal_bytes: Option<u64>,
    pub maintain_every_forgets: Option<u64>,
}

Resolved runtime settings: the engine config, an optional embedder, and the maintenance policy. The wrapper-specific knobs (import batch size, server workers) are read separately from the same read_config table.

Fields

database_path: Option<PathBuf>

[database].path, if set. Wrapper-specific explicit paths take precedence over this value; otherwise the platform default is used.

config: Config

The engine configuration (size-bearing fields from [engine]).

embedder: Option<Box<dyn Embedder>>

The embedder built from [embedder], or None (lexical/graph/time recall still work without one).

snapshot_every_ops: Option<u64>

[maintenance].snapshot_every_ops, if set.

snapshot_journal_bytes: Option<u64>

[maintenance].snapshot_journal_bytes, if set.

maintain_every_forgets: Option<u64>

[maintenance].maintain_every_forgets, if set.

Implementations

impl Settings

pub fn load(flag: Option<&Path>) -> Result<Settings, SettingsError>

Loads settings from the config file resolved by read_config (an explicit flag path, else $PLUGMEM_CONFIG, else the platform config path from crate::default_config_path). Missing config → defaults.

pub fn from_table(table: Option<&Table>) -> Result<Settings, SettingsError>

Builds settings from an already-parsed config table (or None for all defaults). $PLUGMEM_EMBEDDER overrides [embedder].kind. Use this when the caller also needs its own keys from the same table (read once via read_config, then passed here).

pub fn open(self, path: &Path) -> Result<Database, HostError>

Opens a read-write Database, applying the maintenance policy and embedder to the builder. Consumes self (the embedder moves into the database). For a read-only handle, take Settings::embedder out first, then call Database::open_readonly with Settings::config.
