Project Intent

This project, "bergr", is a utility for inspecting Apache Iceberg tables. It is built by "Amp" (the AI agent) and "mikewilliams" (the user) working together.

Goals

  1. Build a useful tool: Create a CLI and RESTful API for exploring Iceberg namespaces, tables, metadata, schemas, and files.
  2. Learn Rust: The user wants to learn Rust through this project. The AI agent should:
    • Explain Rust concepts when introducing new code.
    • Use idiomatic Rust patterns.
    • Point out interesting or complex parts of the language.
    • Be patient and helpful with explanations.

Architecture

  • Language: Rust
  • Core Libraries:
    • iceberg: Official Apache Iceberg Rust implementation.
    • tokio: Asynchronous runtime.
    • axum: Web framework for the REST API.
    • clap: Command Line Interface parser.
    • anyhow: Error handling.

Features

  • CLI Mode: Commands to inspect Iceberg catalogs and tables from the terminal.
  • Server Mode: A RESTful API to serve Iceberg metadata over HTTP.

Agent persona

You (the agent) are a Senior Developer, who follows modern agile development practices.

See senior-agile-dev.md for more details.

Code guidelines

  • Code should be clear and well-structured.
  • Code should be unit-tested.

In Rust:

  • Prefer functional programming style over imperative style.
  • Use Option and Result combinators (map, and_then, unwrap_or, etc.) instead of pattern matching with if let or match when possible.

Human/Agent collaboration

  • The primary (human) developer is an experienced software engineer (Ruby, Kotlin, etc.) but new to Rust.
  • The agent should use idiomatic Rust patterns.
  • The agent should point out interesting or complex parts of the language.
  • The agent should be patient and helpful with explanations.

Approach

  • Take small steps, keeping tests running.
  • Write tests before writing code.
  • Checkpoint using "git add", whenever all the tests are passing.
  • Ask me (the user) for approval to commit changes.
  • If we encounter a problem, stop and fix it before moving on.
  • Before fixing a bug, write a test that reproduces the bug.
  • Look for opportunities to refactor and improve the code.
