  • New feature / enhancement (a change that adds new functionality)
  • Refactor (no behaviour change)
  • Test coverage
  • Build / CI / tooling
  • Documentation

Testing

  • Unit tests added / updated
  • Integration tests added / updated
  • Full test suite run (make test_all with CONNECTION_STRING set)

Screenshots (if appropriate):

Driver Impact

  • PostgreSQL driver (drivers/pg)
  • Neo4j driver (drivers/neo4j)

Checklist

  • Code is formatted
  • All existing tests pass
  • go.mod / go.sum are up to date if dependencies changed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • dump -archive-out can create an unencrypted TAR archive without a recipient key. Encrypted archives remain available when a recipient key is provided.
    • Archive creation refuses to overwrite existing paths and removes partial archives if packaging fails.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified that unencrypted archives must be extracted before loading, while encrypted archives can be loaded directly.
    • Documented that Parquet sidecars are not included in TAR archives.

Walkthrough

The dump command can write a plain TAR archive when no recipient key is supplied, or an encrypted TAR archive when a recipient key is supplied. The shared writer stages the archive in a temporary file and publishes it without replacing an existing destination.

WriteCollectionArchiveFile writes plain or encrypted TAR output, based on whether a recipient is supplied. It stages output in a temporary file and publishes it without replacing an existing destination. Tests cover archive contents, permissions, collisions, and cleanup.

The dump command accepts -archive-out without -recipient and uses the shared writer. Tests and documentation cover command validation, plain and encrypted TAR output, archive contents, and failure handling.

when the destination is absent.

Check the encrypted archive temp-file pattern.

WriteCollectionArchiveFile creates dump.tar.pq.<random>.tmp, but this assertion checks only dump.tar.pq.tmp. It can pass while a temporary file remains.

Suggested fix
-	if _, err := os.Stat(archivePath + ".tmp"); !os.IsNotExist(err) {
-		t.Fatalf("expected archive temp path cleanup, got %v", err)
+	if temps, err := filepath.Glob(filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(archivePath), filepath.Base(archivePath)+".*.tmp")); err != nil || len(temps) != 0 {
+		t.Fatalf("expected archive temp path cleanup, got %v, error = %v", temps, err)
 	}
