Defining your schema

Search…
​Schemas are associated with datamarts by managing objects with the following properties: 
Make sure you learned about schema's concepts and how they are structured.
// DRAFT Schema
{
    "id": "1385",
    "datamart_id": "1509",
    "status": "DRAFT",
    "creation_date": 1609888013947,
    "last_modification_date": 1610443926552,
    "publication_date": null,
    "suspension_date": null
}

// LIVE Schema
{
    "id": "1281",
    "datamart_id": "1509",
    "status": "LIVE",
    "creation_date": 1603198414771,

Schema publication workflow
The process for publishing a schema is as follows:
1.Create a new schema definition
2.Upload the schema associated with the definition
3.Validate the schema
4.Publish the schema
Schema updates
After updating a schema, you can immediately use all its properties into the select part of your OTQL queries and any operator that doesn't require indexing.
If you add a new indexed property, only new elements going into your datamart will be indexed. You will be able to run WHERE queries and operators needing indexing, but your queries will not return values for elements already in your datamart. You can add a new indexed property by either adding a new property with @TreeIndex directive or adding the @TreeIndex directive to an existing property.
If you remove an indexed property, you will instantly stop being able to run WHERE queries and operators needing indexing for this query.
You can ask your mediarithmics contact to start a complete reindexing of your datamart if required
Manage schemas with mics CLI
You can use the MICS CLI to power up your schema definitions workflow. 
Download a schema
Retrieve the LIVE schema or the specified one for a given datamart, and save it as a .gql file named schema-<DATAMARTID>-<SCHEMAID>.gql.
Use it to download the schema you want to start with, usually the current LIVE version.
USAGE
  $ mics-cli schema:fetch DATAMARTID [SCHEMAID]
​
ARGUMENTS
  DATAMARTID  the ID of the datamart
  SCHEMAID    [default: LIVE] the ID of the schema, or LIVE to get the live schema
​
OPTIONS
  --stdout  output the content of the file instead of saving it in a file
If you want to show the schema in the output, use the --stdout flag.
Update a schema
Create a draft, upload a file, validate it, and publish the schema with this all-in-one command. 
Automatically handles status and cloning best practices: 
If a draft schema already exists, update it before publishing.
Latest LIVE schema is cloned, if available, and --noClone flag is not set
You can keep your schema as a DRAFT and not publish it using  the --skipPublishflag.

/v1/datamarts/:datamartId/graphdb_runtime_schemas/:schemaId/clone
Create a DRAFT by cloning
This is the preferred method to create a DRAFT schema, as it will keep all settings from the previous version, like cluster versions, and index sizes.

/v1/datamarts/:datamartId/graphdb_runtime_schemas
Create a DRAFT without cloning
For the schema to keep initial settings—for example, elastic search version, and index size—you need to clone the previous LIVE version. Only use this endpoint if you know the required settings and you can set them up before publishing.
