Overview

An RDF transaction.

Transactions provide an ACID scope for queries and mutations.

Repository implementations may provide support for transactional updates by providing an atomic implementation of Mutable#apply_changeset and responding to #supports?(:atomic_write) with true.

We carefully distinguish between read-only and read/write transactions, in order to enable repository implementations to take out the appropriate locks for concurrency control. Transactions are read-only by default; mutability must be explicitly requested on construction in order to obtain a read/write transaction.

Individual repositories may make their own sets of guarantees within the transaction's scope. In case repository implementations should be unable to provide full ACID guarantees for transactions, that must be clearly indicated in their documentation. If update atomicity is not provided, #supports?(:atomic_write) must respond false.

The base class provides an atomic write implementation depending on Changeset and using Changeset#apply. Custom Repository classes can implement a minimial write-atomic transactions by overriding Mutable#apply_changeset.

Reads within a transaction run against the live repository by default (#isolation_level is :read_committed). Repositories may provide support for snapshots by implementing Repository#snapshot and responding true to #supports?(:snapshots). In this case, the transaction will use the Dataset returned by Mutable#snapshot for reads (:repeatable_read).

For datastores that support transactions natively, implementation of a custom Transaction subclass is recommended. The Repository is responsible for specifying snapshot support and isolation level as appropriate. Note that repositories may provide the snapshot isolation level without implementing Mutable#snapshot.

Examples:

Executing a read-only transaction

repository = RDF::Repository.new

RDF::Transaction.begin(repository) do |tx|
  tx.query({predicate: RDF::Vocab::DOAP.developer}) do |statement|
    puts statement.inspect
  end
end

Executing a read/write transaction

repository = RDF::Repository.new

RDF::Transaction.begin(repository, mutable: true) do |tx|
  subject = RDF::URI("http://example.org/article")
  tx.delete [subject, RDF::RDFS.label, "Old title"]
  tx.insert [subject, RDF::RDFS.label, "New title"]
end

A repository with a custom transaction class

class MyRepository < RDF::Repository
  DEFAULT_TX_CLASS = MyTransaction
  # ...
  # custom repository logic
  # ...

#mutated?Boolean

Note:

Transaction implementers may choose to NotImplementedError if the transaction implementation cannot be implemented efficiently.

Indicates whether the transaction includes changes relative to the target repository's state at transaction start time.

The response is guaranteed to be true if executing the transaction against the original repository state would cause a change. It may also return true in cases where the repository would not change (e.g. because the transaction would insert statements already present).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    true if the transaction has mutated (insert/delete) since transaction start time

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

    if a mutation check is not implemented

  • 0.3.0

#rollbackBoolean

Rolls back the transaction

@note: the base class simply replaces its current Changeset with a fresh one. Other implementations may need to explictly rollback at the supporting datastore.
