Chotki REPL

Read-Evaluate-Loop for Chotki. Manage databases, network, objects. Debug and troubleshoot.

All commands have the same syntax: verb {rdx args}. RDX arguments can take different forms (string, maps, arrays, ids, etc) depending on the verb. Each command returns an id and/or an error message.

Replica lifecycle

1. create b0b-0 create a replica with that id
2. open b0b-0 open a replica
3. close close the replica
4. exit

Networking

1. listen "localhost:1234" tcp listen a port
2. connect "remote:1234" tcp connect

Backup/restore

Classes and objects

1. class {_ref:Parent,Name:S,Girl:T} create a (sub)class with the given field types
2. name {Child:b0b-9} set a global-scope name for an object/type/field
3. new {_ref:Child,Name:"Alice"} create a new object of the specified class (Child)
4. edit {_ref:b0b-a,Girl:true} edit the specified object
5. cat b0b-a shallow-print the object in JSON-like RDX
6. list b0b-a deep-print the object in JSON-like RDX

Debugging

1. dump all, dump objects, dump vv dump the raw key-value store
2. tell b0b-a notify of any changes to the object/field
3. mute b0b-a stop notifying on that
4. pinc b0b-f-2, ponc b0b-f-2 ping/pong increments to the counter (normally, commands are entered at different replicas)
5. sinc {fid: b0b-f-2, ms: 100, count: 1000000} blind-increment the field at that interval that many times
