[0.6.2] - 2021-09-30

Fix issue when creating index for ndjson/ndedn

[0.6.1] - 2021-09-15

Eliminate a reflective call when serializing the database.

[0.6.0] - 2021-09-06

0.6.0 - introducing .ndnippy!

Added

Now you can use .ndnippy as database format. It's MUCH faster to load than .ndjson and .ndedn, meaning better query times. Particularly when querying multiple documents at once.

Also a new util namespace lets you convert from .ndjson and .ndedn to .ndnippy.

.ndnippy - like .ndedn isn't really a standard. But it probably should be. I implemented the encoding for .ndnippy myself, it's somewhat naive, but really fast anyhow. If you have ideas on how to make it even fast, let me know. Because version 0.6.0 introduces the .ndnippy format, it may change several times in the future, possibly making old .ndnippy files incompatible with new versions. Now you're warned. Thankfully the generation of new .ndnippy files is quite fast.

NB: .ndnippy isn't widely used (this is - as far as I know, the first and only use), and probably isn't a good distribution format, unless you can distribute the nd-db library with it.

NB: For small documents (like the ones in the test samples), .ndnippy files are actually bigger than their json/edn alternatives. Even the Twitter sample .ndjson file mentioned in the README becomes bigger as .ndnippy. With the serialization mechanism used right now, the biggest benefits are when the individual documents are huge (i.e. 10s of KBs). We've done experiments with methods that actually makes the resulting size the same as the input, even for small documents. But there's a huge performance impact to using that, which is counter productive.

[0.5.2] - 2021-09-01

Fixed

• Bug when using new :id-rx-str as input

[0.5.1] - 2021-08-26

Fixed

• Eliminate reflective call when querying file

[0.5.0] - 2021-08-26

Added

• Persist the processed index to disk for fast re-initialization
  • Saves to temp filesystem folder (default)
  • optionally a different folder to persist index between system reboots
  • Uses filename, content and optionally regex-string to name the index file

[0.4.0] - 2021-06-24

0.4.0 - simpler and smaller!

Added

• Auto-infer :doc-type from db file extension (*.ndedn -> :doc-type :edn)
  • This means you have to use either db extension .ndedn|.ndjson or :doc-type :json|:edn
  • Defaults to :json if extension is unknown and :doc-type isn't set
• Laying the groundwork for improved indexing performance via parallelization.
  • Need more work to limit memory consumption for huge databases, before enabling it

Breaking Change!

• Rename core namespace to nd-db.core, and the library from luposlip/ndjson-db to com.luposlip/nd-db!

Changed

• Removed core.memoize and timbre (not used anymore)
  • Smaller deployable!
• Updated clojure (-> 1.10.3)

[0.3.0] - 2021-06-09

Added

• Add support for the .ndedn file format, where all lines are well formed EDN documents.

[0.2.2] - 2021-01-12

Changed

• Updated depencies (timbre, memoize, cheshire)

[0.2.1] - 2019-08-29

Changed
