fuerte
Fuerte is a c++ library that allows you to communicate with a ArangoDB database over the http and velocystream (optionally ssl encrypted) protocols.
design
Fuerte is a communication library only. You will get what the other side is sending you. No conversion is done! When receiving a message fuerte provides content type and payload. In case the payload is velocypack you can access the slices with slices() when using the c++ driver. The node driver will always provide the payload as it is.
driver: C++ Driver for ArangoDB
The project to create the fuerte library is located in the subdirectory
cmake-cxx-driver. It uses cmake as build system.
Build requirements
The following development packages need to be installed
- C++ 11 compiler
- cmake 3.0
- cURL: https://github.com/curl/curl (needs to be found by FindCURL.cmake)
nodejs: a low-level node.js driver
Install node and npm and execute
> cd cmake-node-driver
> npm install
status of fuerte
Basic functionality of the c++ and node driver are implemented:
Things that are missing:
- agenda - the task is to get the nosql-tests working - what do those tests require?
- tests - without tests we never know the exact status (below is a list of missing featues)
- hanging with 100k requests (needs to be found)
- c++/node: incomplete handling of broken connections - need to find out what is missing (worse in node)
- c++: missing handling of endianess
- http/vst: no authentication
- http/vst: content type handling needs testing
- http: only first slice is added as payload
- vst: sending only single chunk messages
- vst: only the first slice is available via slices()
- vst: no compression
- vst: not handling all versions - velocystream version unknown (it works with the server)
- node: no good node integration (libuv)
- node: no real asynchronous work because of the above
- node: not building on different systems (locating of headers)
