From 2be5f11043f5f3a7ef14c504eff41453e06539cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2025 02:18:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/41] Introduce AttributeType system to replace AttributeAdapter This commit introduces a modern, extensible custom type system for DataJoint: **New Features:** - AttributeType base class with encode()/decode() methods - Global type registry with @register_type decorator - Entry point discovery for third-party type packages (datajoint.types) - Type chaining: dtype can reference another custom type - Automatic validation via validate() method before encoding - resolve_dtype() for resolving chained types **API Changes:** - New: dj.AttributeType, dj.register_type, dj.list_types - AttributeAdapter is now deprecated (backward-compatible wrapper) - Feature flag DJ_SUPPORT_ADAPTED_TYPES is no longer required **Entry Point Specification:** Third-party packages can declare types in pyproject.toml: [project.entry-points."datajoint.types"] zarr_array = "dj_zarr:ZarrArrayType" **Migration Path:** Old AttributeAdapter subclasses continue to work but emit DeprecationWarning.

Key changes: - Add DJBlobType class with `serializes=True` flag to indicate it handles its own serialization (avoiding double pack/unpack) - Update table.py and fetch.py to respect the `serializes` flag, skipping blob.pack/unpack when adapter handles serialization - Add `dj.migrate` module with utilities for migrating existing schemas to use explicit `` type declarations - Add tests for DJBlobType functionality - Document `` type and migration procedure The migration is metadata-only - blob data format is unchanged.

object type garbage collection support Extend gc.py to handle both storage patterns: - Content-addressed storage: , , - Path-addressed storage: New functions added: - _uses_object_storage() - detect object type attributes - _extract_object_refs() - extract path refs from JSON - scan_object_references() - scan schemas for object paths - list_stored_objects() - list all objects in storage - delete_object() - delete object directory tree Updated scan() and collect() to handle both storage types, with combined and per-type statistics in the output. Updated tests for new statistics format.
