Loading specification
=====================
AN important part of the deposit specifications is the loading procedure whereas
a deposit is ingested into the Software Heritage (archive), using
the tarball loader and the complete schema of software artifacts creation
in the archive.

Tarball Loading
---------------

The ``swh-loader-tar`` module is already able to inject tarballs in swh
with very limited metadata (mainly the origin).

The loading of the deposit will use the deposit's associated data:

* the metadata
* the archive(s)

Origin artifact
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We create an origin using the url in the deposited metadata.
The current deposit and future deposits with the same url or external_id
will be associated to this origin.
    "id": 89283768,
    "origin_visits_url": "/api/1/origin/89283768/visits/",
    "type": "deposit",
    "url": "https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02140606"
  }

Visits
~~~~~~~
We identify with a visit each deposit push of the same external_id.
Here in the example below, two snapshots are identified by two different visits.

.. code-block:: json

      {
          "date": "2019-06-03T09:28:10.223007+00:00",
          "origin": 89283768,
          "origin_visit_url": "/api/1/origin/89283768/visit/2/",
          "snapshot": "a3773941561cc557853898773a19c07cfe2efc5a",
          "snapshot_url": "/api/1/snapshot/a3773941561cc557853898773a19c07cfe2efc5a/",
          "status": "full",
          "type": "deposit",
          "visit": 2
      },
      {
          "date": "2019-05-27T12:23:31.037273+00:00",
          "origin": 89283768,
          "origin_visit_url": "/api/1/origin/89283768/visit/1/",
          "snapshot": "43fdb8291f1bf6962211c370e394f6abb1cbe01d",
          "snapshot_url": "/api/1/snapshot/43fdb8291f1bf6962211c370e394f6abb1cbe01d/",
          "status": "full",
          "type": "deposit",
          "visit": 1
      }
  ]

Snapshot artifact
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The snapshot represents one deposit push. The master branch points to a
synthetic revision. We will create a second branch pointing to a release
artifact, if the indicate that the deposit is a release with a `releaseNotes`.
      "branches": {
          "master": {
              "target": "396b1ff29f7c75a0a3cc36f30e24ff7bae70bb52",
              "target_type": "revision",
              "target_url": "/api/1/revision/396b1ff29f7c75a0a3cc36f30e24ff7bae70bb52/"
          }
          "refs/tags/v1.1": {
              "target": "a9f3396f372ed4a51d75e15ca16c1c2df1fc5c97",
              "target_type": "release",
              "target_url": "/api/1/release/a9f3396f372ed4a51d75e15ca16c1c2df1fc5c97/"
          }
      },
      "id": "a3773941561cc557853898773a19c07cfe2efc5a",
      "next_branch": null
  }

The content is deposited with a set of descriptive metadata in the CodeMeta
vocabulary. The following CodeMeta terms implies that the
artifact is a release:

- `releaseNotes`
- `softwareVersion`

If present, a release artifact will be created with the mapping below:

+-------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------------+----------------+
| SWH release field | Description                       | CodeMeta term   | Fallback value |
+===================+===================================+=================+================+

Revision artifact
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The metadata sent with the deposit is included in the revision which affects
the hash computation, thus resulting in a unique identifier.
This way, by depositing the same content with different metadata, will result
in two different revisions in the SWH archive.

The date mapping
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A deposit may contain 4 different dates concerning the software artifacts.

The deposit's revision will reflect the most accurate point in time available.
Here are all dates that can be available in a deposit:

+-------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| dates             | location                          | Description                                   |
+===================+===================================+===============================================+
| reception_date    | On SWORD reception (automatic)    |the deposit was received at this ts            |
+-------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| complete_date     | On SWH ingestion  (automatic)     |the ingestion was completed by SWH at this ts  |
+-------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| dateCreated       | metadata in codeMeta (optional)   |the software artifact was created at this ts   |
+-------------------+-----------------------------------+----------------------+------------------------+
| datePublished     | metadata in codeMeta (optional)   |the software was published (contributed in HAL)|
+-------------------+-----------------------------------+----------------------+------------------------+

A visit targeting a snapshot contains one date:

+-------------------+----------------------------------------------+----------------+
| SWH visit field   | Description                                  |  value         |
+===================+==============================================+================+
| date              | the origin pushed the deposit at this date   | reception_date |
+-------------------+----------------------------------------------+----------------+

A revision contains two dates:

+-------------------+-----------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+
| SWH revision field| Description                             | CodeMeta term  | Fallback value |
+===================+=========================================+================+================+
| date              | date of software artifact modification  | dateCreated    | reception_date |
+-------------------+-----------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+
| committer_date    | date of the commit in VCS               | datePublished  | reception_date |
+-------------------+-----------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+


A release contains one date:

+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------------+----------------+
| SWH release field |Description                       |CodeMeta term  | Fallback value |
+===================+==================================+===============+================+
| date              |release date = publication date   |datePublished  |reception_date  |
+-------------------+----------------------------------+---------------+----------------+

The directory artifact is the archive(s)' raw content deposited.
      {

      }
  ]


Questions raised concerning loading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- A deposit has one origin, yet an origin can have multiple deposits?

No, an origin can have multiple requests for the same deposit. Which
should end up in one single deposit (when the client pushes its final
request saying deposit 'done' through the header In-Progress).

Only update of existing 'partial' deposit is permitted. Other than that,
the deposit 'update' operation.

To create a new version of a software (already deposited), the client
must prior to this create a new deposit.

Illustration First deposit loading:

HAL's deposit 01535619 = SWH's deposit **01535619-1**

::

    + 1 origin with url:https://hal.inria.fr/medihal-01535619

    + 1 synthetic revision

    + 1 directory

HAL's update on deposit 01535619 = SWH's deposit **01535619-2**

(\*with HAL updates can only be on the metadata and a new version is
required if the content changes)

::

    + 1 origin with url:https://hal.inria.fr/medihal-01535619

    + new synthetic revision (with new metadata)

    + same directory

HAL's deposit 01535619-v2 = SWH's deposit **01535619-v2-1**

::

    + same origin

    + new revision

    + new directory


Scheduling loading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All ``archive`` and ``metadata`` deposit requests should be aggregated before
loading.

The loading should be scheduled via the scheduler's api.

Only ``deposited`` deposit are concerned by the loading.

When the loading is done and successful, the deposit entry is updated:

  - ``status`` is updated to ``done``
  - ``swh-id`` is populated with the resulting `SWH persistent identifier <https://docs.softwareheritage.org/devel/swh-model/persistent-identifiers.html>`_
  - ``complete_date`` is updated to the loading's finished time
When the loading has failed, the deposit entry is updated:
  - ``status`` is updated to ``failed``
  - ``swh-id`` and ``complete_data`` remains as is

*Note:* As a further improvement, we may prefer having a retry policy with
graceful delays for further scheduling.

Metadata loading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- the metadata received with the deposit are kept in the `metadata` fields
  of the revision and in the ```origin_metadata`` table to facilitate search
  over origin metadata.

- provider\_id and tool\_id are resolved by the prepare\_metadata method in the
  loader-core

- the origin\_metadata entry is sent to storage by the send\_origin\_metadata
  in the loader-core

origin\_metadata table:

::

    id                                      bigint        PK
    origin                                  bigint
    discovery_date                          date
    provider_id                             bigint        FK      // (from provider table)
    tool_id                                 bigint        FK     // indexer_configuration_id tool used for extraction
    metadata                                jsonb                // before translation
