Revision History
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Revision History
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Documents will be ingested in batches which will be given a revision index.
|
|
This provides a common language for describing complex validations on sets of
|
|
documents.
|
|
|
|
Revisions can be thought of as commits in a linear git history, thus looking
|
|
at a revision includes all content from previous revisions.

Revision Diffing
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
By maintaining a linear history of all the documents in each revision, Deckhand
|
|
is able to diff different revisions together to report what has changed
|
|
across revisions, allowing external services to determine whether the Deckhand
|
|
configuration undergone any changes since the service last queried the Deckhand
|
|
API.
|
|
|
|
The revision difference is calculated by comparing the `overall` difference
|
|
across all the documents in the buckets associated with the two revisions that
|
|
are diffed. For example, if a bucket shared between two revisions contains two
|
|
documents, and between the first revision and the second revision, if only
|
|
one of those two documents has been modified, the bucket itself is tagged
|
|
as ``modified``. For more information about revision diffing, please reference
|
|
the :ref:`api-ref`.
|
|
|
|
Revision DeepDiffing
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Revision DeepDiffing is an extended version of existing revision diff api.
|
|
When any bucket state gets changed to ``modified``, It shows deep difference
|
|
between revisions. DeepDiffing resultset will consist of ``document_added``,
|
|
``document_deleted`` and ``document_changed`` count and details.
|
|
For more information about revision deepdiffing, please reference the :ref:`api-ref`.
|
|
|
|
Revision Rollback
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
As all the changes to documents are maintained via revisions, it is possible to
|
|
rollback the latest revision in Deckhand to a prior revision. This behavior can
|
|
be loosely compared to a ``git rebase`` in which it is possible to squash the
|
|
latest revision in order to go back to the previous revision. This behavior is
|
|
useful for undoing accidental changes and returning to a stable internal
|
|
configuration.
