spate_core/framing/mod.rs
1//! Streaming record framing: the seam that cuts a decoded byte stream into
2//! records.
3//!
4//! Framing is a **transport- and format-agnostic seam**. Any streaming/pull
5//! source — object-storage backfills (`spate-s3`) today, HTTP chunked bodies,
6//! WebSocket message streams, or file tails tomorrow — must turn a byte stream
7//! into records before a [`Deserializer`](crate::deser::Deserializer) decodes
8//! each one. That "one payload → one record" split is what lets a single
9//! decoder serve every source; the framer decides what one payload *is*.
10//!
11//! `spate-core` owns only the seam here — the [`RecordFramer`] trait, the
12//! [`FramerWriter`] decompressor shim, and the [`FramingContract`] handshake.
13//! The concrete framers are owned by the **format** crates, because how a byte
14//! stream splits into records is a property of the format, not the transport:
15//! `spate-json` provides newline-delimited framing for NDJSON, a future
16//! `spate-avro` an object-container block framer, and so on. A source stays
17//! format-agnostic and receives its framer at pipeline-assembly time (e.g.
18//! `S3Source::with_framer`), so the same framer serves every streaming source
19//! and no source hard-codes a format.
20//!
21//! A [`RecordFramer`] is fed decoded bytes in arbitrary chunks and yields
22//! completed record byte-slices. It **must be a pure function of the byte
23//! stream** — independent of how the bytes are chunked — so a source that
24//! resumes by record index replays deterministically (this is load-bearing for
25//! at-least-once resume; see the `spate-s3` offset model). Compression is *not*
26//! part of framing: a source that decompresses wraps its decompressor around a
27//! [`FramerWriter`], so the framer only ever sees already-decoded bytes.
28//!
29//! Dispatch through `Box<dyn RecordFramer>` happens once per fed chunk, never
30//! per record, so each impl's per-record scan stays monomorphized.

34/// What one payload emitted by a source represents, so the framework can pair
35/// a source with a deserializer without the two being coordinated by hand.
36///
37/// - [`PerRecord`](FramingContract::PerRecord): the source already framed one
38/// record per payload — it ran a [`RecordFramer`] over its byte stream (e.g.
39/// an `spate-s3` backfill framing each object with the format's framer). The
40/// deserializer must decode a *single* unit; a deserializer configured to
41/// *also* frame the payload is a double-framing error.
42/// - [`WholePayload`](FramingContract::WholePayload): the source emits whole
43/// payloads and the deserializer owns framing (e.g. a Kafka message, which
44/// may carry one record or many). This is the default for sources that do
45/// not frame.
