//! This create provides an indexed, queryable column-based storage system. //! //! The storage system is, fundamentally, row-based storage, where all rows have the same number of //! columns. All columns are the same "type", but given that they can be enum types, you can //! effectively use differently typed values. Data is stored in a straightforward `Vec<Vec<T>>`, //! where the outermost `Vec` is dynamically sized (and may be re-allocated as more rows come in), //! whereas the innermost `Vec` is expected to never change. //! //! What makes this crate interesting is that it also allows you to place indices on columns for //! fast lookups. These indices are automatically updates whenever the dataset changes, so that //! queries continue to return correct results. Indices should conform to either the //! `EqualityIndex` trait or the `RangeIndex` trait. As you would expect, the former allows //! speeding up exact lookups, whereas the latter can also perform efficient range queries. //! //! Queries are performed over the dataset by calling `find` with a set of `Condition`s that will //! be `AND`ed together. `OR` is currently not supported --- issue multiple quieries instead. Each //! `Condition` represents a value comparison against the value in a single column. The system //! automatically picks what index to use to satisfy the query, using a heuristic based on the //! expected number of rows returned for that column for each index. //! //! # Known limitations //! //! - The set of match operations is currently fairly limited. //! - The system currently provides an append-only abstraction (i.e., no delete or edit). #![deny(missing_docs)] #![feature(btree_range, collections_bound)] use std::collections::HashMap; /// The `cmp` module holds the mechanisms needed to compare values and express conditionals. pub mod cmp; pub use cmp::Comparison; pub use cmp::Condition; pub use cmp::Value; /// The `idx` module described the traits indexers must adhere to, and implements sensible default /// indexers. pub mod idx; pub use idx::EqualityIndex; pub use idx::RangeIndex; pub use idx::Index; /// A `Store` is the main storage unit in shortcut.
