Per Steffensen commented on SOLR-3178:
--------------------------------------
Will supply patch early next week.
Guess I have broken (or will break it) the following "rule" on "How to
contribute":
"Combine multiple issues into a single patch, especially if they are unrelated
or only loosely related."
I have added the following to "How to contribute | Contributing your work" in
order to state the philosophy described by Mark a little more clearly to future
newbie contributers. Feel free to modify:
"Supply first patch as early as possible and updated patches as often as
possible during your work. This helps the rest of the community and committers
to start understanding, help shaping, commenting on etc. your work throughout
the entire process. Supplying a patch does not necessarily mean that it is
complete and ready to be committed, it might also just be a way of
communicating your idea and progress."
Regards and have a nice weekend
> Versioning - optimistic locking
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-3178
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3178
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: update
> Affects Versions: 3.5
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Per Steffensen
> Assignee: Per Steffensen
> Labels: RDBMS, insert, locking, nosql, optimistic, uniqueKey,
> update, versioning
> Fix For: 4.0
>
> Attachments: SOLR-3178.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 168h
> Remaining Estimate: 168h
>
> In order increase the ability of Solr to be used as a NoSql database (lots of
> concurrent inserts, updates, deletes and queries in the entire lifetime of
> the index) instead of just a search index (first: everything indexed (in one
> thread), after: only queries), I would like Solr to support versioning to be
> used for optimistic locking.
> When my intent (see SOLR-3173) is to update an existing document, I will need
> to provide a version-number equal to "the version number I got when I fetched
> the existing document for update" plus one. If this provided version-number
> does not correspond to "the newest version-number of that document at the
> time of update" plus one, I will get a VersionConflict error. If it does
> correspond the document will be updated with the new one, so that "the newest
> version-number of that document" is NOW one higher than before the update.
> Correct but efficient concurrency handling.
> When my intent (see SOLR-3173) is to insert a new document, the version
> number provided will not be used - instead a version-number 0 will be used.
> According to SOLR-3173 insert will only succeed if a document with the same
> value on uniqueKey-field does not already exist.
> In general when talking about different versions of "the same document", of
> course we need to be able to identify when a document "is the same" - that,
> per definition, is when the values of the uniqueKey-fields are equal.
> The functionality provided by this issue is only really meaningfull when you
> run with "updateLog" activated.
> This issue might be solved more or less at the same time as SOLR-3173, and
> only one single SVN patch might be given to cover both issues.
