Support complex request logic #21

Closed aionick closed 5 years ago

aionick commented 5 years ago

Placing requests that can only be satisfied in a single line of the log file is proving to be inadequate for certain cases (determining if a transaction has been processed, for example). We need to improve our definition of a request to make it more flexible.

The plan will be to equip events with the expressive power of logical statements. In particular, events can be "simple", in which case they are satisfied once a particular string is observed in the logs. They can also be "complex", which means the event is a logical expression: an and or or of two expressions, forming a recursive logic tree with the "simple" events as leaf events in the tree.

This will allow users to express arbitrarily complex events and will tuck all of the evaluation/validation logic up into the event itself so that the listener does not have to know any of it.
