# Detail & Lineage Views
## Vision
Provide rich, navigable views into databuild's execution history that answer operational questions:
- **"What work was done to fulfill this want?"** - The full DAG of partitions built and jobs run
- **"Where did this data come from?"** - Trace a partition's lineage back through its inputs
- **"What downstream data uses this?"** - Understand impact before tainting or debugging staleness
## Three Distinct Views
### 1. Want Fulfillment View
Shows the work tree rooted at a want: all partitions built, jobs run, and derivative wants spawned to fulfill it.
```
W-001 "data/gamma" [Successful]
├── data/gamma [Live, uuid:abc]
│ └── JR-789 [Succeeded]
│ ├── read: data/beta [Live, uuid:def]
│ └── read: data/alpha [Live, uuid:ghi]
└── derivative: W-002 "data/beta" [Successful]
│ └── triggered by: JR-456 dep-miss
└── data/beta [Live, uuid:def]
└── JR-456 [DepMiss → retry → Succeeded]
└── read: data/alpha [Live, uuid:ghi]
```
Key insight: This shows **specific partition instances** (by UUID), not just refs. A want's fulfillment is a concrete snapshot of what was built.
### 2. Partition Lineage View
The data flow graph: partition ↔ job_run alternating. Navigable upstream (inputs) and downstream (consumers).
```
UPSTREAM
┌────────────┼────────────┐
▼ ▼ ▼
[data/a] [data/b] [data/c]
│ │ │
└────────────┼────────────┘
JR-xyz [Succeeded]
══════════════════
║ data/beta ║ ← FOCUS
║ [Live] ║
══════════════════
JR-abc [Running]
┌────────────┼────────────┐
▼ ▼ ▼
[data/x] [data/y] [data/z]
DOWNSTREAM
```
This view answers: "What data flows into/out of this partition?" Click to navigate.
### 3. JobRun Detail View
Not a graph - just the immediate context of a single job execution:
- **Scheduled for**: Which want(s) triggered this job
- **Read**: Input partitions (with UUIDs - the specific versions read)
- **Wrote**: Output partitions (with UUIDs)
- **Status history**: Queued → Running → Succeeded/Failed/DepMiss
- **If DepMiss**: Which derivative wants were spawned
## Data Requirements
### Track read_deps on success
Currently only captured on dep-miss. Need to extend `JobRunSuccessEventV1`:
```protobuf
message JobRunSuccessEventV1 {
string job_run_id = 1;
repeated ReadDeps read_deps = 2; // NEW
}
```
### Inverted consumer index
To answer "what reads this partition", need:
```rust
partition_consumers: BTreeMap<String, Vec<String>> // partition_ref → consumer partition_refs
```
Built from read_deps on job success.
## Open Questions
1. How do we visualize retries? (Same want, multiple job attempts)
2. Should partition lineage show historical versions or just current?
3. Performance strategy for high fan-out (partition read by 1000s of consumers)?
