Enables ID-based lookups in write-only mode without loading search indexes, solving the fundamental conflict between write-only optimization and deduplication needs.
Key Features:
- New allowDirectReads configuration option
- Direct storage methods: has(), exists(), getMetadata(), getBatch()
- Enhanced get() and getVerb() support in write-only mode
- Smart operation separation (storage vs. search operations)
Use Cases:
- Bluesky services: Avoid redundant profile API calls
- GitHub packages: Efficient user processing with existence checks
- General writer services: Smart deduplication without search overhead
Performance Benefits:
- 50-100% reduction in external API calls
- No search index memory usage
- Fast direct storage lookups
- Optimal for high-throughput data ingestion
Configuration:
const brainy = new BrainyData({
writeOnly: true, // Skip search index loading
allowDirectReads: true // Enable direct ID lookups
})
Includes comprehensive tests (26/26 passing), real-world demo, and complete README documentation with configuration examples.
