## RoomServer Internals
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Numeric IDs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To save space matrix string identifiers are mapped to local numeric IDs.
|
||
|
|
The numeric IDs are more efficient to manipulate and use less space to store.
|
||
|
|
The numeric IDs are never exposed in the API the room server exposes.
|
||
|
|
The numeric IDs are converted to string IDs before they leave the room server.
|
||
|
|
The numeric ID for a string ID is never 0 to avoid being confused with go's
|
||
|
|
default zero value.
|
||
|
|
Zero is used to indicate that there was no corresponding string ID.
|
||
|
|
Well-known event types and event state keys are preassigned numeric IDs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### State Snapshot Storage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The room server stores the state of the matrix room at each event.
|
||
|
|
For efficiency the state is stored as blocks of 3-tuples of numeric IDs for the
|
||
|
|
event type, event state key and event ID. For further efficiency the state
|
||
|
|
snapshots are stored as the combination of up to 64 these blocks. This allows
|
||
|
|
blocks of the room state to be reused in multiple snapshots.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The resulting database tables look something like this:
