Instance Method Details

#edit_marc_json(hrid:) {|record_json| ... } ⇒ Object

TODO:

If this is a problem in practice, see if it’s possible to have Folio respond in a more standard way; or, workaround with error handling.

Note:

in limited manual testing, optimistic locking behaved like so when two edit attempts collided:

  • One updating client would eventually raise a timeout. This updating client would actually write successfully, and version the record.

  • The other updating client would raise a StandardError, with a message like ‘duplicate key value violates unique constraint "idx_records_matched_id_gen"’. This client would fail to write.

  • As opposed to the expected behavior of the “winner” getting a 200 ok response, and the “loser” getting a 409 conflict response.

Given an HRID, retrieves the associated MARC JSON, yields it to the caller as a hash, and attempts to re-save it, using optimistic locking to prevent accidental overwrite, in case another user or process has updated the record in the time between retrieval and attempted save.

Parameters:

  • hrid (String) —

    the HRID of the MARC record to be edited and saved

Yield Parameters:

  • record_json (Hash) —

    a hash representation of the MARC JSON for the HRID; the updated hash will be saved when control is returned from the block.
