Count all events

Hi,

is there a simple way to count all stored events in all the stream. We need this for our Metadata.

There is not now and its basically impossible to support if partitioned. What sre you trying to accomplish

We want to be able to read all events from a given global event number. So if some events were lost on the way, or the Readmodels were offline, they can just get all the events from global version x to global version y from the ES.

You can make a persistent projection which links to all events. This will shortly be built into the product directly.

For the projection, use something like:

fromAll().whenAny(

function(state, event) {

    linkTo('temp-all-stream', event);

    return;

}

}

When this is running, a stream will be present on http://:2113/streams/temp-all-stream in the normal manner, and you can read it using the TCP interface in the normal manner if that’s what you’re using.

Again note that this is a temporary requirement - a built-in stream named $all is being built at the moment.

Regards,

James

Thanks James!

Just started working on projections, and have a question. Will this count in this projection:

fromAll()
.when({
$init: function () {
return { count: 0 }; // initial state
},
$any: function (s, e) {
s.count += 1;
return s;
}
})

``

be incremented on idempotent write of event? Can I filter out such writes in projection?

Thanks.

It should not be incremented on an idempotent write by definition of an idempotent write
