NAME

Metabase::Index - Interface for Metabase indexing

SYNOPSIS

  package Metabase::Index::Bar;
  use Metabase::Fact;
  use Moose;
  with 'Metabase::Index';
  
  # define Moose attributes
  
  sub add {
    my ( $self, $fact ) = @_;
    # index a fact
  }

  sub search {
    my ( $self, %spec ) = @_;
    # conduct search 
    return \@matches;
  }

DESCRIPTION

This describes the interface for indexing and searching facts. Implementations must provide the add and search methods.

USAGE

exists

  if ( $index->exists( $guid ) ) { do_stuff() }

This interface provides an exists method that calls search() and returns a boolean value.
