Partial search support

[josephholsten]

Partial search is much faster than regular search, and only requires POSTing desired keys to the search query endpoint.

The official client implementation is defined here: partial_search:libraries/partial_search.rb:49

fyi @josephholsten @marpaia #19 brings in the basic support in POST to support partial. I need to talk to @ctdk about the goiardi support for partial search. example partial in the test code for POST

Should be simple enough to add a nice 'PartialSearch' method to the search package.

[ctdk]

goiardi supports partial support just fine.

@ctdk hrm them possibly i was doing it wrong in my test. I was following what documentation was on the website for the server api to partial search. I guess i should look at pedant. If yer around on irc tomorrow i will ping you.

[ctdk]

Yeah, last I checked anyway goiardi was passing the partial search tests in chef-pedant with flying colors. I'm running in-mem no-auth tests right now on the mysql branch (and will be testing the other modes as time permits today), so I'll see how those do with partial search too.

@ctdk @marpaia @josephholsten #21 shows partial working in test.

I'll be needing partial search this week, I'm looking forward to it!

@josephholsten cool the support is there in .Post, but not in the search package. Should be easy nuf to write some types and a wrapper in search if you want to take a crack at it. This is the dumped struct coming back off the unmarshal:

(map[string]interface {}) {
 (string) "rows": ([]interface {}) {
  (map[string]interface {}) {
   (string) "data": (map[string]interface {}) {
    (string) "name": (string) "neo4j.example.org"
   },
   (string) "url": (string) "http://localhost:8443/nodes/neo4j.example.org"
  }
 },
 (string) "start": (float64) 0,
 (string) "total": (float64) 1
}
