* Removed dedicated transcoder tests
why:
will implicitely be provided by other tests:
+ encode/write -> hashify -> test_tx
+ decode/read -> merge raw nodes -> test_tx
+ de/blobfiy -> backend operations, taext_tx, test_backend, test_filter
* Clarify how the vertex ID generator state is accessed from the backend
why:
This state is a list of unused vertex IDs. It was just stored somewhere
on the backend which details were exposed when iterating over some
sub-table(s).
As there will be more such single information records, an admin
sub-tables has been defined (formerly ID generator table) with dedicated
access keys and type. Also, the iterator over the single ID generator
state item has been removed. It must be accessed via the `get()`
interface.
* Remove trailing space from file name
why:
fixes windows bail out
* Remove concept of empty/blind filters
why:
Not needed. A non-existent filter is is coded as a nil reference.
* Slightly generalised backend iterators
why:
* VertexID as key for the ID generator state makes no sense
* there will be more tables addressed by non-VertexID keys
* Store serialised/blobified vertices on memory backend
why:
This is more in line with the RocksDB backend so more appropriate
for testing when comparing behaviour. For a speedy memory database,
a backend-less variant should be used.
* Drop the `Aristo` prefix from names `AristoLayerRef`, etc.
* Suppress compiler warning
why:
duplicate imports
* Add filter serialisation transcoder
why:
Will be used as storage format
* Generalised Aristo DB constructor for any type of backend
details:
* Records to be deleted are represented as key-void (rather than
key-value) pairs by the put-function arguments
* Allow direct driver access, iterators as example implementation and
for testing.
* Provide backend storage interface
details:
Stores the top layer onto backend tables
* Implemented Rocks DB backend
details:
Transaction based `put()` functionality
Iterators (based on direct RocksDB access)
