Historical Tracking
A subsystem is needed to track the history of the AAI real-time database at an attribute/entity level for every resource (nodes & edges). The following is what would need to be tracked for the attribute value and entity assertions
source of change (provenance)
timestamp of when the change (add/update/delete) was made in the database
timestamp of when the change (add/update/delete) was made in the network as per provided by the client (preferred that client sends this but not mandatory)
The client will need a streamlined way to access this history via URIs and a GUI. For Casablanca only singular entity history queries will be supported showing the state of the entity at a given time. The design needs to be extensible enough to easily support history queries over a range of time, retrieving complicated topology history, traversal mS endpoints (custom query/dsl), and aggregations post Casablanca.
Any data populated in AAI before this feature was implemented, would not have historical information.
If the results have a subset of attributes that did not exist in the range of the data requested, AAI will display the partial history available
Data retention limits will be enforced on the historical database to truncate history, this data retention timeframe will be configurable
