- Create universal adapters for cross-platform support (browser/Node/serverless)
- Replace Node.js-specific imports with universal implementations
- Add OPFS support for browser persistent storage
- Maintain same BrainyData interface across all environments
- Enable real Brainy usage in browser console UI
- Keep package size optimized (no bloat)
Universal adapters in /src/universal/:
- uuid.ts: Cross-platform UUID generation
- crypto.ts: Browser/Node crypto operations
- fs.ts: OPFS/FileSystem/Memory storage adapter
- path.ts: Universal path operations
- events.ts: EventEmitter compatibility layer
This enables 'write once, run anywhere' for Brainy while maintaining
the exact same API. No breaking changes to existing code.
BREAKING CHANGE: System metadata location changed from 'index/' to '_system/' directory
- Rename INDEX_DIR to SYSTEM_DIR following database conventions
- Implement dual-read/write strategy for zero-downtime migration
- Add automatic migration from old to new location on first access
- Support mixed service versions sharing S3/cloud storage
- Add 30-day grace period for gradual rollout (configurable)
- Store distributed config alongside statistics in _system folder
- Add comprehensive migration guide and documentation
Migration features:
- Read from both locations (new first, fallback to old)
- Write to both during migration period
- Automatic data migration when found only in old location
- Services can update independently without coordination
- Full backward compatibility for production deployments
The change improves clarity ('_system' better represents system metadata than 'index')
and follows standard database conventions (MongoDB's _system, PostgreSQL's pg_*).
Implements Phase 1 and Phase 2 of distributed enhancements for horizontal scaling:
Phase 1 - Zero-Config Distributed Mode:
- Add DistributedConfigManager for shared S3 configuration coordination
- Implement explicit role configuration (reader/writer/hybrid) for safety
- Add instance registration with heartbeat and health monitoring
- Create hash-based partitioner for deterministic data distribution
Phase 2 - Intelligent Data Management:
- Add DomainDetector for automatic data categorization (medical, legal, product, etc.)
- Implement domain-aware search filtering for improved relevance
- Create role-based operational modes with specific optimizations
- Add HealthMonitor for comprehensive metrics tracking
Key Features:
- Multi-writer support with consistent hash partitioning
- Reader instances optimize for 80% cache utilization
- Writer instances optimize for batched writes
- Automatic domain detection and tagging
- Real-time health monitoring across all instances
- Cross-platform crypto utilities for browser compatibility
Safety Improvements:
- Require explicit role configuration (no automatic assignment)
- Validate role compatibility on startup
- Track instance health and performance metrics
Testing:
- Add comprehensive test suite for distributed features
- All 25 distributed tests passing
- Fixed domain filtering in search functionality
Documentation:
- Update README with distributed mode highlights
- Add examples showing reader/writer setup
- Document new capabilities and benefits
