Rename object id

[leplatrem]

Suggested by @n1k0

Example:

echo '{"data": {"id":"tutu"}}' | http PUT :8888/v1/buckets/test --auth user:pass

Rename object id specified in URI using the id from the body payload.

Todo:

• rename id column
• rename parent_id
• change permissions object URI

Thoughts ?

No strong feelings. How does this work with synchronization?

How does it works with tombstones?

[leplatrem]

From the client point of view, this would just look like as if the bucket/collection/record was deleted (eg. 404)

[Natim]

Ok so we recreate it with the same last_modified id, we recreate all the child objects with their ID and last_modified value, we recreate all the permissions and we add tombstones for all the recreated objects. Is that correct?

[leplatrem]

oh no, I would just do something like:

• UPDATE records SET id=$newid WHERE id=$oldid
• UPDATE deleted SET id=$newid WHERE id=$oldid
• UPDATE records SET parent_id=/uri/$newid WHERE ...
• UPDATE deleted SET parent_id=/uri/$newid WHERE ...
• UPDATE permissions SET object_id=/uri/$newid WHERE ...

Ok then we should probably allow to rename only bucket / collections but not records because it will break the synchronization mecanism.

Ah, right. I misread this and thought it was about renaming records. Renaming buckets and collections seems OK to me.
