re-visit REST service

[yokolet]

Currently, REST service is left behind. All tests pass so far, however REST also should have more queries or attribute types and so on.

Is it theoretically possible to add Ref associations to the REST client? Or perhaps there is some fundamental reason why the REST client can never support such associations? Thank you!

There might be a technical difficulty, but, theoretically it should be possible. On Datomic, Ref is expressed by dbid (or tmpid).

Currently, REST support is far behind compared to Peer for not a special reason. I have worked on Peer mainly this year because Peer has API and easier to code. However, REST is also interesting. I'll use more time for REST implementation, probably next year. Basically, Diametric is my hobby project, and I don't have much time to work on the gem, unfortunately.

Thanks for your response, Yoko.

It turns out that we're planning to use JRuby, so we could have used the
Peer client, but I'm sorry to report that the decision-makers on the
project have decided not to use Datomic. Perhaps next time.

Best of luck with Diametric. Seems like a terrific project. Cheers.

For the record, reference type on REST works like Peer on master branch.
