Difference between revision and a version? #108

Closed domagojk closed 7 years ago

domagojk commented 7 years ago

Hy! I'm new to CQRS/ES architecture and I'm experimenting with my own implementation in node.

Usually in CQRS examples I saw, the word "version" refers to a number which increments every time an event is stored to ensure optimistic concurrency.

But since in this implementation there is both "version" and "revision", I suppose a "revision" is this number which increments every time an event is saved and a "version" refers to command and event "signature" (so it's incremented only when property is changed/added and similar).

Could you please confirm is my assumption correct or is it used differently?

You got it half right.

The "revision" refers to the aggregate and it is basically a number incremented with each event ( and appended to it ) to control concurrency and the right order of denormalization ( with help from revisonGuardStore if you use adrai/node-cqrs-eventdenormalizer ).

The "version" refers to the command and it allows you to have two versions of the same command, useful in a scenarios when you change the command expected payload ( ie. producing version 2 of the command ), but some components of your system dispatch older versions of the command.

Understood! :) Thank you.
