Known Limitations

  • Currently impossible to add arguments to the model walk
  • For example a you can't filter a condition to only check annotations in a certain namespace
  • This example could be fixed by comparing the 'ns' value against the desired value, but it still won't filter
  • Regex rules can only be applied to Images currently.
  • Cannot specify objects to operate on within the rules file.
  • Planned addition in schemav2 but wanted to get this out and get some feedback for schemav2
  • Doesn't handle Annotations very well.
  • This is because the omero-py package doesn't have getters for specific annotation types
    • This causes AttributeErrors
  • Map and Table Annotations especially need extra thought to be able to meaningfully rule against
  • Also doesn't handle properties
  • Due to the compilation process, we need getters to access properties
  • Could be possible to add with some lambda
    • Decided to leave as is for now because most properties have a getter (thanks java!)
  • Pretty slow and inefficient
  • Makes more requests than it needs to
  • Causes it to take longer than it needs to
  • Decided to leave as is for readability sake
    • We run it once a night, could probably do it once a week
    • Both walking and recursion can get complex, tried my best to stay legible (unlike my first implementation)
