CODITECT Data Architecture:
-
Key Space Design (ADR-001)
/{tenant_id}/{entity_type}/{entity_id}/{attribute}
Examples:
/tenant-123/users/user-456/profile
/tenant-123/sessions/session-789/data
/tenant-123/permissions/role-abc/members -
Directory Layer Pattern
use foundationdb::{Database, Directory};
pub struct TenantDirectory {
root: Directory,
}
impl TenantDirectory {
pub async fn create_tenant_space(
&self,
tenant_id: &TenantId,
db: &Database
) -> Result<Directory, FdbError> {
let path = vec![
"tenants".to_string(),
tenant_id.to_string()
];
self.root.create_or_open(db, &path, None).await
}
pub async fn get_subspace(
&self,
tenant_id: &TenantId,
entity_type: &str
) -> Result<Subspace, FdbError> {
let tenant_dir = self.get_tenant_directory(tenant_id).await?;
Ok(tenant_dir.subspace(&[entity_type]))
}
} -
Transaction Patterns
use foundationdb::{Transaction, TransactOption};
// Optimistic concurrency with retry
pub async fn update_with_retry<F, T>(
db: &Database,
operation: F
) -> Result<T, FdbError>
where
F: Fn(&Transaction) -> futures::future::BoxFuture<'_, Result<T, FdbError>>
{
db.transact_with_retry(
|trx| {
// Set appropriate options
trx.set_option(TransactOption::CausalReadRisky)?;
trx.set_option(TransactOption::PrioritySystemImmediate)?;
Box::pin(operation(trx))
},
TransactRetryOption::default()
).await
}
// Batch operations for efficiency
pub async fn batch_insert(
trx: &Transaction,
tenant_id: &TenantId,
entities: Vec<(String, Vec<u8>)>
) -> Result<(), FdbError> {
for (key_suffix, value) in entities {
let key = format!("{}/data/{}", tenant_id, key_suffix);
trx.set(&key, &value);
}
Ok(())
} -
Range Queries with Pagination
pub async fn list_entities<T: DeserializeOwned>(
trx: &Transaction,
tenant_id: &TenantId,
entity_type: &str,
limit: usize,
continuation: Option<Vec<u8>>
) -> Result<(Vec<T>, Option<Vec<u8>>), CoditectError> {
let prefix = format!("{}/{}/", tenant_id, entity_type);
let begin = continuation
.unwrap_or_else(|| prefix.as_bytes().to_vec());
let end = key_util::prefix_range(&prefix.as_bytes()).1;
let range = RangeOption {
begin: KeySelector::first_greater_or_equal(begin),
end: KeySelector::first_greater_than(end),
limit: Some((limit + 1) as i32),
reverse: false,
mode: StreamingMode::Iterator,
};
let kvs = trx.get_range(&range, 0, false).await?;
let mut results = Vec::with_capacity(limit);
let mut next_continuation = None;
for (i, kv) in kvs.iter().enumerate() {
if i >= limit {
next_continuation = Some(kv.key().to_vec());
break;
}
let entity: T = serde_json::from_slice(kv.value())
.context("Failed to deserialize entity")?;
results.push(entity);
}
Ok((results, next_continuation))
} -
Atomic Operations
// Increment counter atomically
pub async fn increment_counter(
trx: &Transaction,
tenant_id: &TenantId,
counter_name: &str,
delta: i64
) -> Result<(), FdbError> {
let key = format!("{}/counters/{}", tenant_id, counter_name);
trx.atomic_op(&key, &delta.to_le_bytes(), MutationType::Add);
Ok(())
}
// Conditional update with versionstamp
pub async fn conditional_update(
trx: &Transaction,
tenant_id: &TenantId,
key: &str,
new_value: &[u8],
expected_version: Option<[u8; 10]>
) -> Result<(), CoditectError> {
let full_key = format!("{}/versioned/{}", tenant_id, key);
if let Some(version) = expected_version {
let current = trx.get(&full_key, false).await?;
if current.as_deref() != Some(&version) {
return Err(CoditectError::ConcurrentModification);
}
}
trx.set_versionstamped_key(
&format!("{}\x00", full_key),
new_value
);
Ok(())
}
Performance Optimization Patterns:
-
Key Locality
// Good: Related data stored together
/tenant-123/users/user-456/profile
/tenant-123/users/user-456/settings
/tenant-123/users/user-456/sessions
// Bad: Scattered across key space
/users/tenant-123/user-456
/settings/tenant-123/user-456 -
Batch Reading
pub async fn get_multiple<T: DeserializeOwned>(
trx: &Transaction,
tenant_id: &TenantId,
keys: Vec<String>
) -> Result<HashMap<String, T>, CoditectError> {
let futures: Vec<_> = keys.into_iter()
.map(|key| {
let full_key = format!("{}/{}", tenant_id, key);
async move {
let value = trx.get(&full_key, false).await?;
Ok::<_, CoditectError>((key, value))
}
})
.collect();
let results = futures::future::try_join_all(futures).await?;
results.into_iter()
.filter_map(|(key, value)| {
value.and_then(|v| {
serde_json::from_slice(&v).ok()
.map(|data| (key, data))
})
})
.collect()
} -
Watch Patterns
pub async fn watch_for_change(
db: &Database,
tenant_id: &TenantId,
key: &str
) -> Result<Vec<u8>, FdbError> {
let full_key = format!("{}/{}", tenant_id, key);
let watch = db.transact(|trx| {
let key = full_key.clone();
async move {
let current = trx.get(&key, false).await?;
let watch = trx.watch(&key);
Ok((current, watch))
}
}).await?;
// Wait for change
watch.1.await?;
// Get new value
db.transact(|trx| {
let key = full_key.clone();
async move { trx.get(&key, false).await }
}).await?
.ok_or(FdbError::from("Value not found after watch"))
}
Schema Design Guidelines:
-
Entity Modeling
# User entity with indexes
/{tenant}/users/{user_id}/data → User JSON
/{tenant}/users_by_email/{email} → user_id
/{tenant}/users_by_role/{role}/{user_id} → empty -
Time-Series Data
# Events with timestamp ordering
/{tenant}/events/{reverse_timestamp}/{event_id} → Event
# Where reverse_timestamp = MAX_TS - actual_timestamp -
Hierarchical Data
# Folders and files
/{tenant}/fs/{path}/meta → Metadata
/{tenant}/fs/{path}/children/{name} → child_id
Migration Patterns:
pub async fn migrate_schema_v1_to_v2(
db: &Database,
tenant_id: &TenantId
) -> Result<(), CoditectError> {
let batch_size = 1000;
let mut continuation = None;
loop {
let migrated = db.transact(|trx| {
async move {
let (entities, next) = list_entities::<V1Entity>(
trx, tenant_id, "v1_entities",
batch_size, continuation.clone()
).await?;
for entity in entities {
let v2_entity = entity.to_v2();
let key = format!("{}/v2_entities/{}",
tenant_id, v2_entity.id);
trx.set(&key, &serde_json::to_vec(&v2_entity)?);
}
Ok(next)
}
}).await?;
match migrated {
Some(next) => continuation = Some(next),
None => break,
}
}
Ok(())
}
Output Format:
## FoundationDB Schema Design
### Key Space layout
/{tenant_id}/ ├── users/ │ ├── {user_id}/ │ │ ├── data │ │ ├── settings │ │ └── sessions/ │ └── indexes/ │ ├── by_email/{email} → user_id │ └── by_role/{role}/{user_id} → ∅ └── [other entities...]
### Transaction Patterns
- Pattern: [Name]
- Use Case: [Description]
- Performance: [Characteristics]
- Code: [Implementation]
### Performance Considerations
- Key locality: [Analysis]
- Transaction size: [Recommendations]
- Index strategy: [Design]
### Migration Strategy
[If applicable]
### Handoff to Implementation
[Structured schema definition]
Critical Best Practices:
- ALWAYS prefix keys with tenant_id
- Keep transactions small and focused
- Use batch operations for bulk changes
- Design for key locality
- Implement proper retry logic
- Monitor transaction conflicts
- Use appropriate isolation levels
- Plan for schema evolution
Remember: FoundationDB is not a relational database. Think in terms of key-value pairs, design for horizontal scaling, and always consider the distributed nature of the system. Your schema designs directly impact CODITECT's performance and scalability.
