/cc @djs55 -- we were just chatting about this in xenstore too
from irmin.
In xenstore, you don't really have internal keys so why do you need to understand the structure of the value ? To properly handle transaction conflicts maybe ?
from irmin.
I was thinking of xenstore extensions mainly. I was thinking that xenstore
was designed for configuration and rendezvous, but performed so badly that
people started putting their configuration somewhere else (eg xapi db).
Now, of course, the oxenstored implementation is much better so perhaps we
should store the data in xenstore. Further, people (like me and you) have
worked on rpc systems which are also critical for a secure XenServer. Since
xenstore is already in the right place (a special domain) and is already
critical, and had ACLs etc, perhaps we should extend it to have message
queues as well as string values at the tree leaves.
What do you think?

You're right about the ACLs, it's a pain to get it right so it's better to build on top of the existing if possible. Support for message queues in tree leaves would indeed be nice. Interestingly enough, irminsule-0 was dealing only with single queues and irminsule-0.1 deals with a tree of strings -- so dealing with queues in leafs would make a good use case as well.
To come back to the original issue, my idea was to refer to previous snapshots in the values (for instance if you want to build an index of values at a given point in time) -- but that does not have much sense in xenstore as you can't snapshot anyway.

Do you plan to change the xenbus API then ?
from irmin.
Re: the xenbus API: bear in mind this is all a coffee-fuelled idea from
yesterday. I was thinking we could support multiple APIs: the traditional
xenbus API isn't going anywhere since it's baked-into OS kernel drivers. We
could add another API over (eg) vchan or v4v. Perhaps you connect to
xenstore and then read
/tools/xenstore/features/irminsule-is-magic = 1
and then connect over vchan?
