NBS is stable enough that we've made it the default store for command
line tools, and the go-to store for tests that require temporary, but
persistent, storage.
We intend to remove support for LevelDB-backed chunk storage
completely ASAP. This patch removes all usage of LevelDBStore from
noms.git, but doesn't remove LevelDBStore _just_ yet as there are
still some dependencies on it elsewhere.
Toward #3127
This patch implements evolving support for configuring aliases and defaults for the noms cli (started with #2131)
For an introduction, please take a look at the sample code here: https://github.com/attic-labs/noms/blob/master/samples/cli/nomsconfig/README.md
Improvements include:
- All go samples now work with .nomsconfig
- Absolute paths in ldb specs are now properly handled
- Add -v|--verbose flag to commands to debug expansion
- Make default just another alias and change [default] section to [db.default]
- Introduce the `.` shorthand to refer to a previously mentioned dataset/object
Noms SDK users frequently shoot themselves in the foot because they're
holding onto an "old" Database object. That is, they have a Database
tucked away in some internal state, they call Commit() on it, and
don't replace the object in their internal state with the new Database
returned from Commit.
This PR changes the Database and Dataset Go API to be in line with the
proposal in Issue #2589. JS follows in a separate patch.
* Add "noms commit" command
* Updated csv-import, json-import, xml-import and url-fetch to (optionally) not commit results
* Added helpers for creating commit meta-data struct through command line or function calls
