# The schema for the data is documented in gencode.py.

# There is a general process by which values get recomputed. There are two stages:
# (1) when raw data is loaded or changed by an action, it marks things as "dirty".
#     This is done using engine.recompute_map, which maps Nodes to sets of dirty rows.
# (2) when up-to-date data is needed, _recompute is called, and updates the dirty rows.
#     Up-to-date data is needed when it's required externally (e.g. to send to client), and
#     may be needed recursively when other data is being recomputed.

# In this implementation, rows are identified by a row_id, which functions like an index, so that
# data may be stored in lists and typed arrays. This is very memory-efficient when row_ids are
# dense, but bad when they get too sparse. TODO The proposed solution is to have a condense
# operation which renumbers row_ids when they get too sparse.

# TODO:
# We should support types SubRecord, SubRecordList, and SubRecordMap. Original thought was to
# represent them as derived tables with special names, such as "Foo.field". This breaks several
# assumptions about how to organize generated code. Instead, we can use derived tables with valid
# names (such as "Foo_field"), and add an actual column "field" with an appropriate type. This
# column may refer to derived tables or independent tables. Derived tables would have an extra
# property, marking them as derived, which would affect certain UI decisions.


class Engine(object):
  """
  The Engine is the core of the grist per-document logic. Some of its methods form the API exposed
  to the Node controller. These are:

    Initialization:

      load_empty()
        Initializes an empty document; useful for newly-created documents.

      load_meta_tables(meta_tables, meta_columns)
      load_table(table_data)
      load_done()
        These three must be called in-order to initialize a non-empty document.
        - First, load_meta_tables() must be called with data for the two special metadata tables
          containing the schema. It returns the list of other table names the data engine expects.
        - Then load_table() must be called once for each of the other tables (both special tables,
          and user tables), with that table's data (no need to call it for empty tables).
        - Finally, load_done() must be called once to finish initialization.
          NOTE: instead of load_done(), Grist now applies the no-op 'Calculate' user action.

    Other methods:

      fetch_table(table_id, formulas)
        Returns a TableData object containing the full data for the table. Formula columns
        are included only if formulas is True.

      apply_user_actions(user_actions, user)
        Applies a list of UserActions, which are tuples consisting of the name of the action
        method (as defind in useractions.py) and the arguments to it. Returns ActionGroup tuple,
        containing several categories of DocActions, including the results of computations.
