Horizon¶
What is Horizon?¶
Horizon is an application that implements simple HWM Store. Right now it includes:
REST API
Python client
Goals¶
Allow users to save and fetch High Water Mark (HWM) items. These are
name+type+value
triples with few optional fields.Avoid confusion between different user’s data by separating HWMs to different namespaces. Each HWM is bound to namespace.
Allow users to get HWM change history, to determine who and when changed a specific HWM value and other fields.
Provide RBAC model to ensure that interaction with
HWMs
andNamespaces
are governed by role assigned to each user. Roles are assigned per namespace.
Non-goals¶
This is not a data storage, it is not designed to store raw table rows. It is designed to store only HWM values.
Attaching machine-readable metadata for HWMs (like
process
,origin
) is not supported. This should be stored somewhere else.
