Module metadata Architecture

Architecture - Metadata Module

Overview

The metadata module composes schema discovery, metadata statistics, consistency verification, and export/integration behavior into a bounded metadata subsystem for ThemisDB.

Main Execution Planes

1. Schema and catalog plane

• schema discovery and metadata representation surfaces
• information-schema and versioning behavior

2. Validation and consistency plane

• constraints, consistency checks, and audit behavior
• deterministic metadata validation outcomes

3. Lineage and export plane

• lineage graph traversal and ER/catalog export behavior
• distributed metadata and integration interfaces

Core Contracts

Contract	Behavior
schema contract	deterministic schema discovery and metadata access semantics
consistency contract	explicit constraint/consistency outcomes and diagnostics
lineage contract	bounded provenance traversal and export behavior
integration contract	deterministic catalog export and distributed metadata behavior

Failure Semantics

• invalid schema/constraint input fails with explicit outcomes.
• export/integration failures are surfaced explicitly.
• metadata inconsistencies remain observable and non-silent.

Sourcecode Verification (Module: metadata/architecture)

• Verified files:
  • src/metadata/schema_manager.cpp
  • src/metadata/information_schema.cpp
  • src/metadata/schema_version_manager.cpp
  • src/metadata/schema_consistency_checker.cpp
  • src/metadata/catalog_exporter.cpp
  • src/metadata/distributed_catalog.cpp
• Verified architecture claims:
  • explicit schema/consistency/lineage/integration planes
  • deterministic failure boundaries across metadata workflows
  • module-local ownership of metadata orchestration behavior
