A keyvalue interface that provides batch operations.
A batch operation is an operation that operates on multiple keys at once.
Batch operations are useful for reducing network round-trip time. For example, if you want to get the values associated with 100 keys, you can either do 100 get operations or you can do 1 batch get operation. The batch operation is faster because it only needs to make 1 network call instead of 100.
A batch operation does not guarantee atomicity, meaning that if the batch operation fails, some of the keys may have been modified and some may not.
This interface has the same consistency guarantees as the store interface, meaning that you
should be able to "read your writes."
Types
use resource bucket
from wasmcloud:keyvalue/types@0.2.0
A bucket is a collection of key-value pairs. Each key-value pair is stored as an entry in the bucket, and the bucket itself acts as a collection of all these entries.
It is worth noting that the exact terminology for bucket in key-value stores can vary depending on the specific implementation. For example:
- Amazon DynamoDB calls a collection of key-value pairs a table
- Redis has hashes, sets, and sorted sets as different types of collections
- Cassandra calls a collection of key-value pairs a column family
- MongoDB calls a collection of key-value pairs a collection
- Riak calls a collection of key-value pairs a bucket
- Memcached calls a collection of key-value pairs a slab
- Azure Cosmos DB calls a collection of key-value pairs a container
In this interface, we use the term bucket to refer to a collection of key-value pairs
get: async func(key: string) -> result<option<list<u8>>, error>Get the value associated with the specified
keyThe value is returned as an option. If the key-value pair exists in the store, it returns
ok(value). If the key does not exist in the store, it returnsok(none).If any other error occurs, it returns an
err(error).set: async func( key: string, value: list<u8>, options: option<set-options>, ) -> result<_, error>Set the value associated with the key in the store. If the key already exists in the store, it overwrites the value.
If the key does not exist in the store, it creates a new key-value pair.
optionscontrols expiry (ttl-ms) and conditional writes (if-not-exists); passnonefor the default overwrite-on-exists behavior with no expiry.If any other error occurs, it returns an
err(error).delete: async func(key: string) -> result<_, error>Delete the key-value pair associated with the key in the store.
If the key does not exist in the store, it does nothing.
If any other error occurs, it returns an
err(error).exists: async func(key: string) -> result<bool, error>Check if the key exists in the store.
If the key exists in the store, it returns
ok(true). If the key does not exist in the store, it returnsok(false).If any other error occurs, it returns an
err(error).list-keys: async func( prefix: option<string>, cursor: option<string>, ) -> result<key-response, error>Get the keys in the store, optionally restricted to those starting with
prefix, with an optional cursor (for use in pagination). It returns a list of keys. Please note that for most KeyValue implementations, this can be a very expensive operation and so it should be used judiciously. Implementations can return any number of keys in a single response, but they should never attempt to send more data than is reasonable (i.e. on a small edge device, this may only be a few KB, while on a large machine this could be several MB). Any response should also return a cursor that can be used to fetch the next page of keys. See thekey-responserecord for more information.prefixfilters the result to keys that begin with the given string; passnoneto list all keys. When paginating, the sameprefixshould be supplied alongside eachcursor.Note that the keys are not guaranteed to be returned in any particular order.
If the store is empty (or no keys match
prefix), it returns an empty list.MAY show an out-of-date list of keys if there are concurrent writes to the store.
If any error occurs, it returns an
err(error).
use variant error
from wasmcloud:keyvalue/types@0.2.0
The set of errors which may be raised by functions in this package.
Following the wasip3 convention, this enumerates specific named cases
rather than leaning on stringly-typed errors. It is intentionally
non-exhaustive: future versions may add cases, and generated bindings are
marked non-exhaustive accordingly, so consumers must always include a
catch-all arm. Backend-specific failures that do not map to a named case
are reported via other.
no-such-storeThe host does not recognize the store identifier requested.
access-deniedThe requesting component does not have access to the specified store (which may or may not exist).
invalid-argumentThe request was malformed or self-contradictory, e.g. a
cas.swapwhosecas-optionssets no precondition.precondition-failedA conditional operation did not meet its precondition, e.g. a
setwithif-not-existsagainst a key that already exists.timeoutThe operation did not complete within the host- or backend-imposed time limit.
store-unavailableThe store is currently unreachable or otherwise unavailable. The operation may succeed if retried later.
quota-exceededThe operation was rejected because a quota or rate limit was exceeded.
other:stringSome other implementation-specific error has occurred (e.g. I/O). Used for backend-specific failures that do not map to a named case above.
Functions
get-many: async func(
bucket: borrow<bucket>,
keys: list<string>,
) -> result<list<option<tuple<string, list<u8>>>>, error>
Get the key-value pairs associated with the keys in the store. It returns a list of key-value pairs.
If any of the keys do not exist in the store, it returns a none value for that pair in the
list.
MAY show an out-of-date value if there are concurrent writes to the store.
If any other error occurs, it returns an err(error).
set-many: async func(
bucket: borrow<bucket>,
key-values: list<tuple<string, list<u8>>>,
) -> result<_, error>
Set the values associated with the keys in the store. If the key already exists in the store, it overwrites the value.
Note that the key-value pairs are not guaranteed to be set in the order they are provided.
If any of the keys do not exist in the store, it creates a new key-value pair.
If any other error occurs, it returns an err(error). When an error occurs, it does not
rollback the key-value pairs that were already set. Thus, this batch operation does not
guarantee atomicity, implying that some key-value pairs could be set while others might
fail.
Other concurrent operations may also be able to see the partial results.
delete-many: async func(
bucket: borrow<bucket>,
keys: list<string>,
) -> result<_, error>
Delete the key-value pairs associated with the keys in the store.
Note that the key-value pairs are not guaranteed to be deleted in the order they are provided.
If any of the keys do not exist in the store, it skips the key.
If any other error occurs, it returns an err(error). When an error occurs, it does not
rollback the key-value pairs that were already deleted. Thus, this batch operation does not
guarantee atomicity, implying that some key-value pairs could be deleted while others might
fail.
Other concurrent operations may also be able to see the partial results.
