siridb / siridb-admin Goto Github PK

I am trying to understand how siridb works.
What exactly replica and pool is? How it works? What exactly is the relation between server, pool, replica, database, timeseries, shards ? How do i check (list) how i did configure those relations?

PS: i just found blog post http://siridb.net/blog/how-we-store-time-series-in-siridb/
which is interesting, and i really like the explanation about files and indexes,
but the blog post is not good enough to solve this issue.

Idea: making simple (UML) diagram explaining relations of server, pool, replica, database, timeseries, shards might be very good.

Also help text is somewhat wrong here (new pool instead of new replica):

$ siridb-admin_1.1.3_linux_amd64.bin  --help  2>&1 |tail -n 7
  new-pool --db-name=DB-NAME --db-user=DB-USER --db-password=DB-PASSWORD --db-server=DB-SERVER [<flags>]
    Expand a SiriDB database with a new pool.

  new-replica --db-name=DB-NAME --db-user=DB-USER --db-password=DB-PASSWORD --db-server=DB-SERVER --pool=POOL [<flags>]
    Expand a SiriDB database with a new pool.

When creating a new pool or a new replica we ask for confirmation unless the --force flag is used.

When creating a new replica this --force flag is currently ignored and should be fixed.

The documentation does not say anything about deleting a database.

Can I assume that it can be deleted by shutting down a server and deleting the respective folder in the data path?

When using the argument flag --verbose some extra logging should be available. The argument now results in a panic.

IPv6 address for a SiriDB server address is not accepted from the terminal (command line).

for example:

$ siridb-admin -u sa -p siri -s [::1] get-databases
dial tcp: too many colons in address ::1:9000

(The webpage (siridb-admin --http) does work using IPv6 address)
