Setup Checks

Setup Checks Objectives - mostly about performance

• Identify the next partition for a set of checks to run against - just once, rather than in each check
• Identify whether or not to run checks at all - if no data has changed since the last run
• Prepare data for faster processing by table checks - perhaps by aggregating it, or extracting changed data from a large non-partitioned table into a smaller table

Setup Check Requirements

• Must be in check_dir
• Filename must start with 'setup_'
• Must be identified within registry file for table with a check_type of 'setup'

Runner to Setup Interface:

• Env Vars provided by runner:
  • hapinsp_instance
  • hapinsp_database
  • hapinsp_table
  • hapinsp_tablecustom_internal_rc_prior
  • hapinsp_tablecustom_[setup var name]_prior

Setup to Runner Interface:

• json struct printed by setup:
  • { "rc": "?", "table_status": "inactive", "hapinsp_tablecustom_[setup var name]": "foo", "hapinsp_tablecustom_[setup_var_name]": "bar" }
