Previously, our database schema was versioned by a single number.
Each database schema change had to occur "atomically" in Notmuch's
development history: before some commit, Notmuch used version N, after
that commit, it used version N+1. Hence, each new schema version
could introduce only one change, the task of developing a schema
change fell on a single person, and it all had to happen and be
perfect in a single commit series. This made introducing a new schema
version hard. We've seen only two schema changes in the history of
Notmuch.
This commit introduces database schema version 3; hopefully the last
schema version we'll need for a while. With this version, we switch
from a single version number to "features": a set of named,
independent aspects of the database schema.
Features should make backwards compatibility easier. For many things,
it should be easy to support databases both with and without a
feature, which will allow us to make upgrades optional and will enable
"unstable" features that can be developed and tested over time.
Features also make forwards compatibility easier. The features
recorded in a database include "compatibility flags," which can
indicate to an older version of Notmuch when it must support a given
feature to open the database for read or for write. This lets us
replace the old vague "I don't recognize this version, so something
might go wrong, but I promise to try my best" warnings upon opening a
database with an unknown version with precise errors. If a database
is safe to open for read/write despite unknown features, an older
version will know that and issue no message at all. If the database
is not safe to open for read/write because of unknown features, an
older version will know that, too, and can tell the user exactly which
required features it lacks support for.

Add a custom value range processor to enable date and time searches of
the form date:since..until, where "since" and "until" are expressions
understood by the previously added date/time parser, to restrict the
results to messages within a particular time range (based on the Date:
header).
If "since" or "until" describes date/time at an accuracy of days or
less, the values are rounded according to the accuracy, towards past
for "since" and towards future for "until". For example,
date:november..yesterday would match from the beginning of November
until the end of yesterday. Expressions such as date:today..today
means since the beginning of today until the end of today.
Open-ended ranges are supported (since Xapian 1.2.1), i.e. you can
specify date:..until or date:since.. to not limit the start or end
date, respectively.
CAVEATS:
Xapian does not support spaces in range expressions. You can replace
the spaces with '_', or (in most cases) '-', or (in some cases) leave
the spaces out altogether.
Entering date:expr without ".." (for example date:yesterday) will not
work as you might expect. You can achieve the expected result by
duplicating the expr both sides of ".." (for example
date:yesterday..yesterday).
Open-ended ranges won't work with pre-1.2.1 Xapian, but they don't
produce an error either.

notmuch_database_t now keeps a nesting count and we only start a
transaction or commit for the outermost atomic section.
Introduces a new error, NOTMUCH_STATUS_UNBALANCED_ATOMIC.

Replace _notmuch_convert_tags with this and simplify
_create_filenames_for_terms_with_prefix. This will also come in handy
shortly to get the message file name list.

Instead of having an API for setting a library-wide flag for
synchronization (notmuch_database_set_maildir_sync) we instead
implement maildir synchronization with two new library functions:
notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
and notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
These functions are nicely documented here, (though the implementation
does not quite match the documentation yet---as plainly evidenced by
the current results of the test suite).
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|

This adds group [maildir] and key 'synchronize_flags' to the
configuration file. Its value enables (true) or diables (false) the
synchronization between notmuch tags and maildir flags. By default,
the synchronization is disabled.

This prevents any of the private functions from being leaked out
through the library interface (at least when compiling with a
recent-enough gcc to support the visibility pragma).

Previously we were using Xapian's add_document to allocate document ID
values for notmuch_message_t objects. This had the drawback of adding
a partially constructed mail document to the database. If notmuch was
subsequently interrupted before fully populating this document, then
later runs would be quite confused when seeing the partial documents.
There are reports from the wild of people hitting internal errors of
the form "Message ... has no thread ID" for example, (which is
currently an unrecoverable error).
We fix this by manually allocating document IDs without adding
documents. With this change, we never call Xapian's add_document
method, but only replace_document with either the current document ID
of a message or a new one that we have allocated.

Thanks to Michal Sojka <sojkam1@fel.cvut.cz> for pointing out the
correct fix, which I verified in the freely-available WG14/N1124 draft
(from the C99 working group) which is available here:

The sequential identifiers have the advantage of being guaranteed to
be unique (until we overflow a 64-bit unsigned integer), and also take
up half as much space in the "notmuch search" output (16 columns
rather than 32).
This change also has the side effect of fixing a bug where notmuch
could block on /dev/random at startup (waiting for some entropy to
appear). This bug was hit hard by the test suite, (which could easily
exhaust the available entropy on common systems---resulting in large
delays of the test suite).

The recent support for renames in the database is our first time
(since notmuch has had more than a single user) that we have a
database format change. To support smooth upgrades we now encode a
database format version number in the Xapian metadata.
Going forward notmuch will emit a warning if used to read from a
database with a newer version than it natively supports, and will
refuse to write to a database with a newer version.
The library also provides functions to query the database format
version:
notmuch_database_get_version
to ask if notmuch wants a newer version than that:
notmuch_database_needs_upgrade
and a function to actually perform that upgrade:
notmuch_database_upgrade

This patch adds a new function called notmuch_database_get_all_tags
which can be used to obtain a list of all tags from the database
(in other words, the list contains all tags from all messages). The
function produces an alphabetically sorted list.
To add support for the new function, we rip the guts off of
notmuch_message_get_tags and put them in a new generic function
called _notmuch_convert_tags. The generic function takes a
Xapian::TermIterator as argument and uses the iterator to find tags.
This makes the function usable with different Xapian objects.
Function notmuch_message_get_tags is then reimplemented to call the
generic function with message->doc.termlist_begin() as argument.
Similarly, we implement notmuch_message_database_get_all_tags, the
function calls the generic function with db->xapian_db->allterms_begin()
as argument.
Finally, notmuch_database_get_all_tags is exported through
lib/notmuch.h

The rudimentary aspect here is that the date ranges are specified with
UNIX timestamp values (number of seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC). One
thing that can help here is using the date program to determins
timestamps, such as:
$(date +%s -d 2009-10-01)..$(date +%s)
Long-term, we'll probably need to do our own query parsing to be able
to support directly-specified dates and also relative expressions like
"since:'2 months ago'".

If an earlier exception occurred, then it's not unexpected for the
flush to fail as well. So in that case, we'll silently catch the
exception. Otherwise, make some noise about things going wrong at the
time of flush.

We only rarely need to actually open the database for writing, but we
always create a Xapian::WritableDatabase. This has the effect of
preventing searches and like whilst updating the index.

A "make" invocation still works from the top-level, but not from
down inside the lib directory yet.
