# OSIRIS MVP — Minimal Semantic Store over HeroDB
|
||||
|
||||
## 0) Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
OSIRIS is a Rust-native object layer on top of HeroDB that provides structured storage and retrieval capabilities without any server-side extensions or indexing engines.
|
||||
|
||||
It provides:
|
||||
- Object CRUD operations
|
||||
- Namespace management
|
||||
- Simple local field indexing (field:*)
|
||||
- Basic keyword scan (substring matching)
|
||||
- CLI interface
|
||||
- Future: 9P filesystem interface
|
||||
|
||||
It does **not** depend on HeroDB's Tantivy FTS, vectors, or relations.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1) Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
HeroDB (unmodified)
|
||||
│
|
||||
├── KV store + encryption
|
||||
└── RESP protocol
|
||||
↑
|
||||
│
|
||||
└── OSIRIS
|
||||
├── store/ – object schema + persistence
|
||||
├── index/ – field index & keyword scanning
|
||||
├── retrieve/ – query planner + filtering
|
||||
├── interfaces/ – CLI, 9P (future)
|
||||
└── config/ – namespaces + settings
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2) Data Model
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
#[derive(Clone, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
|
||||
pub struct OsirisObject {
|
||||
pub id: String,
|
||||
pub ns: String,
|
||||
pub meta: Metadata,
|
||||
pub text: Option<String>, // optional plain text
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
#[derive(Clone, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
|
||||
pub struct Metadata {
|
||||
pub title: Option<String>,
|
||||
pub mime: Option<String>,
|
||||
pub tags: BTreeMap<String, String>,
|
||||
pub created: OffsetDateTime,
|
||||
pub updated: OffsetDateTime,
|
||||
pub size: Option<u64>,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 3) Keyspace Design
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
meta:<id> → serialized OsirisObject (JSON)
|
||||
field:tag:<key>=<val> → Set of IDs (for tag filtering)
|
||||
field:mime:<type> → Set of IDs (for MIME type filtering)
|
||||
field:title:<title> → Set of IDs (for title filtering)
|
||||
scan:index → Set of all IDs (for full scan)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
field:tag:project=osiris → {note_1, note_2}
|
||||
field:mime:text/markdown → {note_1, note_3}
|
||||
scan:index → {note_1, note_2, note_3, ...}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4) Index Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
### Insert / Update
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Store object
|
||||
redis.set(format!("meta:{}", obj.id), serde_json::to_string(&obj)?)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Index tags
|
||||
for (k, v) in &obj.meta.tags {
|
||||
redis.sadd(format!("field:tag:{}={}", k, v), &obj.id)?;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Index MIME type
|
||||
if let Some(mime) = &obj.meta.mime {
|
||||
redis.sadd(format!("field:mime:{}", mime), &obj.id)?;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Index title
|
||||
if let Some(title) = &obj.meta.title {
|
||||
redis.sadd(format!("field:title:{}", title), &obj.id)?;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Add to scan index
|
||||
redis.sadd("scan:index", &obj.id)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Delete
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Remove object
|
||||
redis.del(format!("meta:{}", obj.id))?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Deindex tags
|
||||
for (k, v) in &obj.meta.tags {
|
||||
redis.srem(format!("field:tag:{}={}", k, v), &obj.id)?;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Deindex MIME type
|
||||
if let Some(mime) = &obj.meta.mime {
|
||||
redis.srem(format!("field:mime:{}", mime), &obj.id)?;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Deindex title
|
||||
if let Some(title) = &obj.meta.title {
|
||||
redis.srem(format!("field:title:{}", title), &obj.id)?;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Remove from scan index
|
||||
redis.srem("scan:index", &obj.id)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5) Retrieval
|
||||
|
||||
### Query Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub struct RetrievalQuery {
|
||||
pub text: Option<String>, // keyword substring
|
||||
pub ns: String,
|
||||
pub filters: Vec<(String, String)>, // field=value
|
||||
pub top_k: usize,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Execution Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Collect candidate IDs** from field:* filters (SMEMBERS + intersection)
|
||||
2. **If text query is provided**, iterate over candidates:
|
||||
- Fetch `meta:<id>`
|
||||
- Test substring match on `meta.title`, `text`, or `tags`
|
||||
- Compute simple relevance score
|
||||
3. **Sort** by score (descending) and **limit** to `top_k`
|
||||
|
||||
This is O(N) for text scan but acceptable for MVP or small datasets (<10k objects).
|
||||
|
||||
### Scoring Algorithm
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
fn compute_text_score(obj: &OsirisObject, query: &str) -> f32 {
|
||||
let mut score = 0.0;
|
||||
|
||||
// Title match
|
||||
if let Some(title) = &obj.meta.title {
|
||||
if title.to_lowercase().contains(query) {
|
||||
score += 0.5;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Text content match
|
||||
if let Some(text) = &obj.text {
|
||||
if text.to_lowercase().contains(query) {
|
||||
score += 0.5;
|
||||
// Bonus for multiple occurrences
|
||||
let count = text.to_lowercase().matches(query).count();
|
||||
score += (count as f32 - 1.0) * 0.1;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Tag match
|
||||
for (key, value) in &obj.meta.tags {
|
||||
if key.to_lowercase().contains(query) || value.to_lowercase().contains(query) {
|
||||
score += 0.2;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
score.min(1.0)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 7) Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### File Location
|
||||
|
||||
`~/.config/osiris/config.toml`
|
||||
|
||||
### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[herodb]
|
||||
url = "redis://localhost:6379"
|
||||
|
||||
[namespaces.notes]
|
||||
db_id = 1
|
||||
|
||||
[namespaces.calendar]
|
||||
db_id = 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
pub struct Config {
|
||||
pub herodb: HeroDbConfig,
|
||||
pub namespaces: HashMap<String, NamespaceConfig>,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
pub struct HeroDbConfig {
|
||||
pub url: String,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
pub struct NamespaceConfig {
|
||||
pub db_id: u16,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 8) Database Allocation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
DB 0 → HeroDB Admin (managed by HeroDB)
|
||||
DB 1 → osiris:notes (namespace "notes")
|
||||
DB 2 → osiris:calendar (namespace "calendar")
|
||||
DB 3+ → Additional namespaces...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each namespace gets its own isolated HeroDB database.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 9) Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[dependencies]
|
||||
anyhow = "1.0"
|
||||
redis = { version = "0.24", features = ["aio", "tokio-comp"] }
|
||||
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
|
||||
serde_json = "1.0"
|
||||
time = { version = "0.3", features = ["serde", "formatting", "parsing", "macros"] }
|
||||
tokio = { version = "1.23", features = ["full"] }
|
||||
clap = { version = "4.5", features = ["derive"] }
|
||||
toml = "0.8"
|
||||
uuid = { version = "1.6", features = ["v4", "serde"] }
|
||||
tracing = "0.1"
|
||||
tracing-subscriber = { version = "0.3", features = ["env-filter"] }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 10) Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | When Added | Moves Where |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|-------------|
|
||||
| Dedup / blobs | HeroDB extension | HeroDB |
|
||||
| Vector search | HeroDB extension | HeroDB |
|
||||
| Full-text search | HeroDB (Tantivy) | HeroDB |
|
||||
| Relations / graph | OSIRIS later | OSIRIS |
|
||||
| 9P filesystem | OSIRIS later | OSIRIS |
|
||||
|
||||
This MVP maintains clean interface boundaries:
|
||||
- **HeroDB** remains a plain KV substrate
|
||||
- **OSIRIS** builds higher-order meaning on top
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 12) Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Start HeroDB:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /path/to/herodb
|
||||
cargo run --release -- --dir ./data --admin-secret mysecret --port 6379
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build OSIRIS
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /path/to/osiris
|
||||
cargo build --release
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Initialize
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create configuration
|
||||
./target/release/osiris init --herodb redis://localhost:6379
|
||||
|
||||
# Create a namespace
|
||||
./target/release/osiris ns create notes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add a note
|
||||
echo "OSIRIS is a minimal object store" | \
|
||||
./target/release/osiris put notes/intro - \
|
||||
--title "Introduction" \
|
||||
--tags topic=osiris,type=doc
|
||||
|
||||
# Search
|
||||
./target/release/osiris find "object store" --ns notes
|
||||
|
||||
# Get the note
|
||||
./target/release/osiris get notes/intro
|
||||
|
||||
# Show stats
|
||||
./target/release/osiris stats --ns notes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 13) Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Tests (requires HeroDB)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start HeroDB
|
||||
cd /path/to/herodb
|
||||
cargo run -- --dir /tmp/herodb-test --admin-secret test --port 6379
|
||||
|
||||
# Run tests
|
||||
cd /path/to/osiris
|
||||
cargo test -- --ignored
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 14) Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
### Write Performance
|
||||
|
||||
- **Object storage**: O(1) - single SET operation
|
||||
- **Indexing**: O(T) where T = number of tags/fields
|
||||
- **Total**: O(T) per object
|
||||
|
||||
### Read Performance
|
||||
|
||||
- **Get by ID**: O(1) - single GET operation
|
||||
- **Filter by tags**: O(F) where F = number of filters (set intersection)
|
||||
- **Text search**: O(N) where N = number of candidates (linear scan)
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage Overhead
|
||||
|
||||
- **Object**: ~1KB per object (JSON serialized)
|
||||
- **Indexes**: ~50 bytes per tag/field entry
|
||||
- **Total**: ~1.5KB per object with 10 tags
|
||||
|
||||
### Scalability
|
||||
|
||||
- **Optimal**: <10,000 objects per namespace
|
||||
- **Acceptable**: <100,000 objects per namespace
|
||||
- **Beyond**: Consider migrating to Tantivy FTS
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 15) Design Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
### Why No Tantivy in MVP?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Simplicity**: Avoid HeroDB server-side dependencies
|
||||
- **Portability**: Works with any Redis-compatible backend
|
||||
- **Flexibility**: Easy to migrate to Tantivy later
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Substring Matching?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Good enough**: For small datasets (<10k objects)
|
||||
- **Simple**: No tokenization, stemming, or complex scoring
|
||||
- **Fast**: O(N) is acceptable for MVP
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Separate Databases per Namespace?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Isolation**: Clear separation of concerns
|
||||
- **Performance**: Smaller keyspaces = faster scans
|
||||
- **Security**: Can apply different encryption keys per namespace
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 16) Migration Path
|
||||
|
||||
When ready to scale beyond MVP:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add Tantivy FTS** (HeroDB extension)
|
||||
- Create FT.* commands in HeroDB
|
||||
- Update OSIRIS to use FT.SEARCH instead of substring scan
|
||||
- Keep field indexes for filtering
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Add Vector Search** (HeroDB extension)
|
||||
- Store embeddings in HeroDB
|
||||
- Implement ANN search (HNSW/IVF)
|
||||
- Add hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vector)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Add Relations** (OSIRIS feature)
|
||||
- Store relation graphs in HeroDB
|
||||
- Implement graph traversal
|
||||
- Add relation-based ranking
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Add Deduplication** (HeroDB extension)
|
||||
- Content-addressable storage (BLAKE3)
|
||||
- Reference counting
|
||||
- Garbage collection
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
