/**
|
|
* Interface for database access objects.
|
|
*
|
|
* Classes using this support a set of constants in a bitfield argument to their data loading
|
|
* functions. In general, objects should assume READ_NORMAL if no flags are explicitly given,
|
|
* though certain objects may assume READ_LATEST for common use case or legacy reasons.
|
|
*
|
|
* There are four types of reads:
|
|
* - READ_NORMAL : Potentially cached read of data (e.g. from a replica DB or stale replica)
|
|
* - READ_LATEST : Up-to-date read as of transaction start (e.g. from primary or a quorum read)
|
|
* - READ_LOCKING : Up-to-date read as of now, that locks (shared) the records
|
|
* - READ_EXCLUSIVE : Up-to-date read as of now, that locks (exclusive) the records
|
|
* All record locks persist for the duration of the transaction.
|
|
*
|
|
* A special constant READ_LATEST_IMMUTABLE can be used for fetching append-only data. Such
|
|
* data is either (a) on a replica DB and up-to-date or (b) not yet there, but on the primary/quorum.
|
|
* Because the data is append-only, it can never be stale on a replica DB if present.
|
|
*
|
|
* Callers should use READ_NORMAL (or pass in no flags) unless the read determines a write.
|
|
* In theory, such cases may require READ_LOCKING, though to avoid contention, READ_LATEST is
|
|
* often good enough. If UPDATE race condition checks are required on a row and expensive code
|
|
* must run after the row is fetched to determine the UPDATE, it may help to do something like:
|
|
* - a) Start transaction
|
|
* - b) Read the current row with READ_LATEST
|
|
* - c) Determine the new row (expensive, so we don't want to hold locks now)
|
|
* - d) Re-read the current row with READ_LOCKING; if it changed then bail out
|
|
* - e) otherwise, do the updates
|
|
* - f) Commit transaction
|

* @stable to implement
