Clojurians Log v2

On-prem, of course 😉

We did copy the Postgres data with pgdump & psql -f, but now we seem to end up with partial data, with entries that consist of :datomic-replication/source-eid. Is that expected, or are we expecting something that cannot work?

this is for a multi-tenant system where one tenant = one db. We are setting up analytics and still figuring out what our setup will look like. It's appealing to have a single peer server = single catalog, but then we would have to restart it when adding a tenant.

Ah, we were shadowing our own databases apparently on both storage and Datomic level. It turns out, this is possible btw 🙂

It’s possible if your storage backups are atomic, consistent backups (no read-uncommitted or other read anomalies). Not all can (dynamo) or do by default (MySQL?) so just be careful

Hi all! I'm swapping out on-disk storage with dev-local for an in-memory database (I don't need durability for CI/tests) and I've followed the docs here by adding :storage-dir :mem to my client config… https://docs.datomic.com/cloud/dev-local.html#memdb That call is blowing up with this trace however:

My client config looks like this:

{:server-type :dev-local
 :storage-dir :mem
 :system      "ci"}

Can you provide the code you're using to get this stacktrace?

@kenny it's the call to datomic.client.api/client in this component:

(defrecord Datomic [client-config conn db-name]
  component/Lifecycle
  (start [c]
    (let [client  (d/client client-config)
          _       (d/create-database client {:db-name db-name})
          conn    (d/connect client {:db-name db-name})
          tx-data (schema c)]
      (d/transact conn {:tx-data tx-data})
      (assoc c :client client :conn conn)))
  (stop [c]
    #_(some-> c :client (d/delete-database {:db-name db-name}))
    (dl/release-db client-config)
    (dissoc c :client :conn)))

The next line in the trace would be the (let [client (d/client ... line above.

Thanks. What version of dev-local are you running?

I've tapped the client-config just to be safe, and can see this in REBL:

Versions coming right up! 🙂

com.datomic/dev-local {:mvn/version "0.9.203"}

Can you try updating to the latest 0.9.229? Also ensure you're on the latest client version 0.8.102.

Will do!

Client is up to date. Bumping dev-local now and restart my JVM.

Progress! Looks like updating the dev-local dep has gotten me the :mem support I need. Now I just need to pass in :system and :db-name to release-db. I wonder if I can merge the client config and the arg-map passed to release-db et al… :thinking_face:

Probably not a good idea.

I could be mistaken but I believe release-db has always needed a :db-name.

If you'd like to release all dbs, you can call d/list-databases and loop over that.

Makes sense. Thanks for the pointers, @kenny!

I wonder if there's a footnote to add to spec-ulation about acretion not helping people like me with old code and newer docs. 😄
