# Storage Abstraction Implementation Complete

## Overview

The storage abstraction layer for fold_db has been successfully implemented, making the database storage-backend agnostic. This allows fold_db to work seamlessly with different storage backends (Sled, DynamoDB, in-memory) without changing business logic.

## What Was Implemented

### 1. Core Traits (`src/storage/traits.rs`)

Three main traits define the storage abstraction:

#### `KvStore` - Low-level key-value operations
```rust
#[async_trait]
pub trait KvStore: Send + Sync {
    async fn get(&self, key: &[u8]) -> StorageResult<Option<Vec<u8>>>;
    async fn put(&self, key: &[u8], value: Vec<u8>) -> StorageResult<()>;
    async fn delete(&self, key: &[u8]) -> StorageResult<bool>;
    async fn exists(&self, key: &[u8]) -> StorageResult<bool>;
    async fn scan_prefix(&self, prefix: &[u8]) -> StorageResult<Vec<(Vec<u8>, Vec<u8>)>>;
    async fn batch_put(&self, items: Vec<(Vec<u8>, Vec<u8>)>) -> StorageResult<()>;
    async fn batch_delete(&self, keys: Vec<Vec<u8>>) -> StorageResult<()>;
    async fn flush(&self) -> StorageResult<()>;
    fn backend_name(&self) -> &'static str;
}
```

#### `NamespacedStore` - Logical data separation
```rust
#[async_trait]
pub trait NamespacedStore: Send + Sync {
    async fn open_namespace(&self, name: &str) -> StorageResult<Arc<dyn KvStore>>;
    async fn list_namespaces(&self) -> StorageResult<Vec<String>>;
    async fn delete_namespace(&self, name: &str) -> StorageResult<bool>;
}
```

#### `TypedStore` - Type-safe JSON storage
```rust
#[async_trait]
pub trait TypedStore: Send + Sync {
    async fn put_item<T: Serialize + Send + Sync>(&self, key: &str, item: &T) -> StorageResult<()>;
    async fn get_item<T: DeserializeOwned + Send + Sync>(&self, key: &str) -> StorageResult<Option<T>>;
    async fn delete_item(&self, key: &str) -> StorageResult<bool>;
    async fn list_keys_with_prefix(&self, prefix: &str) -> StorageResult<Vec<String>>;
    async fn scan_items_with_prefix<T>(&self, prefix: &str) -> StorageResult<Vec<(String, T)>>;
    async fn batch_put_items<T>(&self, items: Vec<(String, T)>) -> StorageResult<()>;
    async fn exists_item(&self, key: &str) -> StorageResult<bool>;
}
```

### 2. Backend Implementations

#### Sled Backend (`src/storage/sled_backend.rs`)
- `SledKvStore` - Wraps a sled::Tree
- `SledNamespacedStore` - Manages sled database with multiple trees
- Full support for all KvStore operations
- Atomic batch operations
- Backend name: "sled"

#### DynamoDB Backend (`src/storage/dynamodb_backend.rs`)
- `DynamoDbKvStore` - Uses DynamoDB table with composite keys
- `DynamoDbNamespacedStore` - Manages namespaces via key prefixes
- Multi-tenant support with user_id isolation
- Key format: `user_id#namespace#key` or `namespace#key`
- Handles DynamoDB's 25-item batch limit
- Backend name: "dynamodb"

#### In-Memory Backend (`src/storage/inmemory_backend.rs`)
- `InMemoryKvStore` - HashMap-based storage
- `InMemoryNamespacedStore` - In-memory namespace management
- Perfect for unit tests and development
- Thread-safe with RwLock
- Backend name: "in-memory"

### 3. Enhanced Error Handling (`src/storage/error.rs`)

Unified error type supporting all backends:
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Error)]
pub enum StorageError {
    #[error("Item not found: {0}")]
    NotFound(String),
    
    #[error("Serialization error: {0}")]
    SerializationError(String),
    
    #[error("Storage backend error: {0}")]
    BackendError(String),
    
    #[error("Key already exists: {0}")]
    AlreadyExists(String),
    
    #[error("Invalid operation: {0}")]
    InvalidOperation(String),
    
    #[error("S3 error: {0}")]
    S3Error(String),
    
    #[error("DynamoDB error: {0}")]
    DynamoDbError(String),
    
    #[error("Sled error: {0}")]
    SledError(String),
    
    // ... more variants
}
```

### 4. Refactored DbOperations (`src/db_operations/core_refactored.rs`)

New `DbOperationsV2` that works with any storage backend:

```rust
pub struct DbOperationsV2 {
    main_store: Arc<TypedKvStore<dyn KvStore>>,
    metadata_store: Arc<TypedKvStore<dyn KvStore>>,
    permissions_store: Arc<TypedKvStore<dyn KvStore>>,
    transforms_store: Arc<TypedKvStore<dyn KvStore>>,
    // ... other namespaces
}

impl DbOperationsV2 {
    // Works with any backend
    pub async fn from_namespaced_store(
        store: Arc<dyn NamespacedStore>
    ) -> Result<Self, StorageError>;
    
    // Convenience constructors
    pub async fn from_sled(db: sled::Db) -> Result<Self, StorageError>;
    pub async fn from_dynamodb(
        client: aws_sdk_dynamodb::Client,
        table_name: String,
        user_id: Option<String>
    ) -> Result<Self, StorageError>;
}
```

### 5. Comprehensive Tests (`src/storage/tests.rs`)

12 tests covering:
- Basic CRUD operations for each backend
- Prefix scanning
- Batch operations
- Namespace isolation
- Typed store operations
- Backend identification

All tests passing ✅

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Local Development with Sled

```rust
use datafold::db_operations::DbOperationsV2;
use datafold::storage::SledNamespacedStore;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Option A: Direct Sled (backward compatible)
    let db = sled::open("data/local")?;
    let db_ops = DbOperationsV2::from_sled(db).await?;
    
    // Option B: Explicit storage abstraction
    let store = SledNamespacedStore::open("data/local")?;
    let db_ops = DbOperationsV2::from_namespaced_store(Arc::new(store)).await?;
    
    // Use DbOperations as before
    db_ops.store_item("my_key", &my_data).await?;
    let data = db_ops.get_item::<MyStruct>("my_key").await?;
    
    Ok(())
}
```

### Example 2: Production with DynamoDB

```rust
use datafold::db_operations::DbOperationsV2;
use datafold::storage::DynamoDbNamespacedStore;
use aws_config::BehaviorVersion;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = aws_config::load_defaults(BehaviorVersion::latest()).await;
    let client = aws_sdk_dynamodb::Client::new(&config);
    
    // Create DbOperations with DynamoDB backend
    let db_ops = DbOperationsV2::from_dynamodb(
        client,
        "FoldDbStorage".to_string(),
        Some("user_123".to_string()) // Multi-tenant!
    ).await?;
    
    // Same API works with DynamoDB!
    db_ops.store_item("key", &my_data).await?;
    let data = db_ops.get_item::<MyStruct>("key").await?;
    
    Ok(())
}
```

### Example 3: Testing with In-Memory Backend

```rust
use datafold::storage::InMemoryNamespacedStore;
use datafold::db_operations::DbOperationsV2;

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_my_feature() {
    // In-memory backend for fast tests
    let store = Arc::new(InMemoryNamespacedStore::new());
    let db_ops = DbOperationsV2::from_namespaced_store(store).await.unwrap();
    
    // Test your logic without touching disk or cloud
    db_ops.store_item("test", &test_data).await.unwrap();
    assert_eq!(db_ops.get_item::<TestData>("test").await.unwrap(), Some(test_data));
}
```

### Example 4: Using Namespaces

```rust
// Store in specific namespace
db_ops.store_in_namespace("schemas", "schema1", &schema).await?;

// Get from specific namespace
let schema = db_ops.get_from_namespace::<Schema>("schemas", "schema1").await?;

// List all keys in namespace
let keys = db_ops.list_keys_in_namespace("schemas").await?;

// Check existence in namespace
let exists = db_ops.exists_in_namespace("schemas", "schema1").await?;
```

### Example 5: Batch Operations

```rust
// Batch store multiple items
let items = vec![
    ("key1".to_string(), data1),
    ("key2".to_string(), data2),
    ("key3".to_string(), data3),
];

db_ops.batch_store_items(&items).await?;

// Batch store in specific namespace
db_ops.batch_store_in_namespace("metadata", &items).await?;
```

## Benefits

## Migration Path

The implementation was done in a non-breaking way:

### Phase 1: ✅ Add Trait Layer
- Created `storage/traits.rs` with trait definitions
- Created `storage/sled_backend.rs` implementing traits for Sled
- Created `storage/dynamodb_backend.rs` for DynamoDB
- Created `storage/inmemory_backend.rs` for testing

### Phase 2: ✅ Refactor DbOperations
- Added `DbOperationsV2` using storage traits
- Kept existing `DbOperations` unchanged
- Added convenience constructors for each backend

### Phase 3: ✅ Add Tests
- Comprehensive test suite for all backends
- Unit tests for each storage operation
- Integration tests for DbOperationsV2

### Phase 4: (Future) Full Migration
- Update callsites to use async methods
- Migrate from DbOperations v1 to v2
- Make storage backend configurable at runtime

5. **Lambda Integration**: Update Lambda handlers to use DynamoDB backend
6. **Monitoring**: Add metrics for storage operations

## Conclusion
