This is a work in progress design document for this component
The Persistence interfaces are rather overkill for many implementations in the NoSQL world that are only key-value stores with some additional features on top. Doctrine Key Value Store for the rescue. This project offers a much simpler lightweight API that is centered on a key-value API to fetch/save objects.
- Single- or multi-value primary keys
- Unstructured/schema-less values that are mapped onto objects
- Depending on the implementation embedded values/objects are supported
- No complex mapping necessary, just put @Entity on the class and all properties are automatically mapped unless @Transient is given. At least one property has to be @Id. Depends on the underlying vendor though.
- Properties dont have to exist on the class, public properties are created for missing ones.
- No support for references to other objects
- EventListener for ODM/ORM that allows to manage key-value entities and collections of them as properties (postLoad, postUpdate, postPersist, postRemove)
- Stripped down Object Manager Interface
- Data-mapper as any other Doctrine library and persistence and data-objects are seperated.
Following vendors are targeted:
- Microsoft Azure Table
- Amazon DynamoDB
- CouchDB
- MongoDB
- Couchbase
- Riak
- Doctrine\Common\Cache provider (Implemented)
- RDBMS (Implemented)
We happly accept contributions for any of the drivers.
Suppose we track e-mail campaigns based on campaign id and recipients.
use Doctrine\KeyValueStore\Mapping\Annotations as KeyValue;
/**
* @KeyValue\Entity
*/
class Response
{
const RECIEVE = 0;
const OPEN = 10;
const CLICK = 20;
const ACTION = 30;
/** @KeyValue\Id */
private $campaign;
/** @KeyValue\Id */
private $recipient;
private $status;
private $date;
public function __construct($campaign, $recipient, $status)
{
$this->campaign = $campaign;
$this->recipient = $recipient;
$this->status = $status;
}
}
$response = new Response("1234", "[email protected]", Response::RECIEVE);
$entityManager->persist($response);
//.... persists as much as you can :-)
$entityManager->flush();
