Nadav Har'El 9d2eba1c75 alternator: parse more types of values in UpdateExpression
Until this patch, in update expressions like "SET a = :val", we only
allowed the right-hand-side of the assignment to be a reference to a
value stored in the request - like ":val" in the above example.

But DynamoDB also allows the value to be an attribute path (e.g.,
"a.b[3].c", and can also be a function of a bunch of other values.
This patch adds supports for parsing all these value types.

This patch only adds the correct parsing of these additional types of
values, but they are still not supported: reading existing attributes
(i.e., read-modify-write operations) is still not supported, and
none of the two functions which UpdateExpression needs to support
are supported yet. Nevertheless, the parsing is now correct, and the
the "unknown_function" test starts to pass.

Note that DynamoDB allows the right-hand side of an assignment to be
not only a single value, but also value+value and value-value. This
possibility is not yet supported by the parser and will be added
later.

Tests for Alternator that should also pass, identically, against DynamoDB.

Tests use the boto3 library for AWS API, and the pytest frameworks (both are available from Linux distributions, or with "pip install").

To run tests against AWS and not just a local Scylla installation, the files ~/.aws/credentials should be configured with your AWS key:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and ~/.aws/config with the default region to use in the test:

[default]
region = us-east-1
  • Running "pytest" runs all tests.
  • To run all tests in a single file, do pytest test_table.py.
  • To run a single specific test, do pytest test_table.py::test_create_table_unsupported_names.
  • By default test run against a local Scylla installation at http://localhost:8000. Add the "--aws" option to test against AWS instead (the us-east-1 region). For example - pytest --aws test_item.py or pytest --aws.
  • Additional useful pytest options, especially useful for debugging tests:
    • -v: show the names of each individual test running instead of just dots.
    • -s: show the full output of running tests (by default, pytest captures the test's output and only displays it if a test fails)
