`collection_type_impl::serialize_mutation_form`
became `collection_mutation(_view)_description::serialize`.
Previously callers had to cast their data_type down to collection_type
to use serialize_mutation_form. Now it's done inside `serialize`.
In the future `serialize` will be generalized to handle UDTs.
`collection_type_impl::deserialize_mutation_form`
became a free standing function `deserialize_collection_mutation`
with similiar benefits. Actually, noone needs to call this function
manually because of the next paragraph.
A common pattern consisting of linearizing data inside a `collection_mutation_view`
followed by calling `deserialize_mutation_form` has been abstracted out
as a `with_deserialized` method inside collection_mutation_view.
serialize_mutation_form_only_live was removed,
because it hadn't been used anywhere.
collection_type_impl::mutation became collection_mutation_description.
collection_type_impl::mutation_view became collection_mutation_view_description.
These classes now reside inside collection_mutation.hh.
Additional documentation has been written for these classes.
Related function implementations were moved to collection_mutation.cc.
This makes it easier to generalize these classes to non-frozen UDTs in future commits.
The new names (together with documentation) better describe their purpose.
Make the the data modelling structures model their "real" counterparts
more closely, allowing the user greater control on the produced data.
The changes:
* Add timestamp to atomic_value (which is now a struct, not just an
alias to bytes).
* Add tombstone to collection.
* Add row_tombstone to row.
* Add bound kinds and tombstone to range_tombstone.
Great care was taken to preserve backward compatibility, to avoid
unnecessary changes in existing code.
Both cql3_type and abstract_type are normally used inside
shared_ptr. This creates a problem when an abstract_type needs to refer
to a cql3_type as that creates a cycle.
To avoid warnings from asan, we were using a std::unordered_map to
store one of the edges of the cycle. This avoids the warning, but
wastes even more memory.
Even before this patch cql3_type was a fairly light weight
structure. This patch pushes in that direction and now cql3_type is a
struct with a single member variable, a data_type.
This avoids the reference cycle and is easier to understand IMHO.
