Threadline.Retention (Threadline v0.2.0)

Batched retention purge for audit_changes and empty audit_transactions.

Requires config :threadline, :retention with enabled: true before any destructive run (see Threadline.Retention.Policy). Callers must pass repo: explicitly, matching Threadline.Query conventions.

Cutoff is derived from Threadline.Retention.Policy.cutoff_utc_datetime_usec!/0 unless you pass cutoff: (UTC DateTime, microsecond) for a stricter window than policy alone (operators only — must be older than the policy cutoff).

Summary

Types

purge_result()

Accumulator returned by purge/1 on success (counts are cumulative).

Functions

purge(opts)

Deletes captured changes older than the retention cutoff in batches, then removes orphan audit_transactions when delete_empty_transactions is true in config.

Types

purge_result()

@type purge_result() :: %{
  deleted_changes: non_neg_integer(),
  deleted_transactions: non_neg_integer(),
  batches_run: non_neg_integer()
}

Accumulator returned by purge/1 on success (counts are cumulative).

Functions

purge(opts)

@spec purge(keyword()) :: purge_result() | {:error, :disabled}

Deletes captured changes older than the retention cutoff in batches, then removes orphan audit_transactions when delete_empty_transactions is true in config.

Options

:repo — required Ecto.Repo.
:batch_size — max rows per delete pass (default 500).
:max_batches — max outer iterations, each consisting of one change batch plus orphan draining (default 10_000).
:dry_run — when true, no deletes; returns counts of rows that would match delete predicates (:deleted_changes / :deleted_transactions are those counts, :batches_run is 0).

Returns {:error, :disabled} when :retention → enabled is not true. Successful calls return a result map (see purge_result/0).
