State row fields
These fields identify a state row and describe how it changed from the earlier inventory.
| Field | Type | Unit | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
sparklogs.data.instance | string | The row's subject id, echoed onto the row so a table entry identifies itself without reference to the key it was built from. | |
sparklogs.data.delta_kind | string | What happened to this row: added, changed or removed. Delta rows only. | |
sparklogs.data.delta_old | object | The full row as it was before the change, rather than a field-level diff: that is the question people ask, and the diff is derivable from it while the reverse is not. Delta rows only. |
