I was trying to install RecallGraph as a service on my local ArangoDB database, but it always fails with the following error: "Services: 3103. failed to invoke module Reason: ArangoError 3100: cannot locate module File: jsep File: /var/folders/lz/c36rl6hx3glb32zyz502js200000gn/T/arangod_DaPjx4/services-tmp-593-37130413/lib/operations/filter/helpers.js": must I do something special before zipping and installing as service?
maybe a file is missing in the bundle. i will have to check.
meanwhile could you try the instructions at https://github.com/RecallGraph/RecallGraph/wiki/Installation#from-source
and please let me know if it works
Ah OK, I will try to see the documentation for installing from source.
Thanks!
since it contains untested code. so you might find a few features lacking
i will update the page
fixed
I downloaded the latest release, RecallGraph and CivicGraph: CivicGraph installs fine, RecallGraph has the same error: "Services: 3103. failed to invoke module Reason: ArangoError 3100: cannot locate module File: jsep File: /var/folders/lz/c36rl6hx3glb32zyz502js200000gn/T/arangod_DaPjx4/services-tmp-593-37130413/lib/operations/filter/helpers.js". I will work with CivicGraph.
CivicGraph is well tested. However, you will find some features missing that you would have seen in the demo
Just popping up to say that this project is exactly what I was looking for. I can't wait for more robust documentation. One question... Is there a way to purge history? For example, our regression tests delete the objects from a previous test to start from a clean slate. I'd like to request something like "purge all history before <time>".
The purge option has been on my mind, but with a slightly different use case (delete event records for an entity/s to comply with privacy and/or security requirements, eg. GDPR). However, purging by timestamp, although possible, is something I would be reluctant to implement as it is susceptible to potential misuse/abuse. In general, if a user wishes to purge an event trail for some entities, they should be forced to explicitly specify those entity ids, to make sure they know what they are deleting.
@adityamukho Thanks. Performance is always a hot-spot in my work. As long as you keep it backwards compatible, I'm thrilled. For our regression testing, I can truncate your tables at the start of each test so I'm not too concerned. I'm concerned about resources in an active database that runs for years so we may want to have a way to (at least) archive ancient data. I'm not concerned about someone trashing the tables since users have to go through another application layer to get to the database so we can lock down this feature absolutely necessary.
is arangodb and RecallGraph Foxx app Api is different?
Foxx apps provide a micro-service that extends the ArangoDB API. RecallGraph provides an http listener to provide additional features. In this case, you can consider RecallGraph to be a proxy between your requests and the database. For instance, instead of calling the ArangoDB interface to insert an object, you would use the RecallGraph interface.
