Description Francois Chouinard CLA 2011-10-11 12:53:38 EDT 
The TmfEvent model could endure a face lift before 1.0.

Of interest:
- Use interfaces for the API and internalize everything possible 
- Come up with a light weight TmfTimestamp structure
- Formalize TmfEventReference by having it hold (trace + rank)
- ...

Updated TMF Event Model
Comment 3 Francois Chouinard CLA 2012-02-17 10:36:52 EST 
A simplified TMF Event Model is proposed.

Over time, the original model has been 'enhanced' by introducing TmfData and a augmenting the APIs to meet some, well, short-term needs.

There was a need to revisit the model to [1] groom it for Linux Tools 1.0, and [2] the upcoming introduction of CTF-based trace parsers and the general State System.

To meet these requirements, a few unused classes were dropped (TmfTraceEvent, TmfeventContent), some types were simplified (TmfEventReference and TmfEventSource become String:s, TmfEventContent becomes a 'root' TmfEventField), and a type manager is introduced (TmfEventTypeManager).

More importantly, a set of interfaces is introduced (ITmfEvent, ITmfTimestamp, etc) and the APIs are modified to use them. Also, base implementations are provided for each interface. The obvious 'framework-ish' goal is to provide a set of APIs as well as a 'reasonable' implementation that can be either used as-is, extended or re-implemented to suit one's needs.

The original and updated models are attached. The code has been pushed to Eclipse in branch 'LTTng-TmfEventModel' (SHA: a5fef84bae0ad457df0684f8cb61b9057f2720d0).

Comments are welcome.

Code was committed in master (commit id: 526c773d2ab90c59a6de3af141ad80872490368b).

The now-obsolete branch 'LTTng-TmfEventModel' was also removed.
