I have written a proposal.
So, if I understand correctly, when this is implemented, will the ZCatalog always resolve conflicts and never raise ConflictErrors? If there are no ConflictErrors in the main object system?
I think I'm missing the point here.
How did you miss the point? That's exactly the point! :-)
Right now ZCatalog randomly generates ConflictErrors even if there are no conflicts in the data being indexed. It's quite rare, however, and there's machinery that retries the entire transaction up to three times when it happens.
If the current mechanism is reliable, and efficient (given that conflict/retries are rare) then I dont understand the motivation....
But I want it to be more reliable, especially so that ZCatalog can be used in ZODB applications outside Zope.
Is it because other non-Zope applications might not be so proficient at performing retries? Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
