equity

equity is one of the shapes the historical store holds. A stored series lives under a kind= path segment, and that segment is the layout contract its producers and its consumers have to agree on: the columns, how the leaf is partitioned, and what venue and symbol mean for this particular kind. All of it is below, rendered from the same table the runtime dispatches on.

One decoded row becomes a vike_model::EquitySample. The codec that owns the schema is EquityCodec; the store writes through append_equity and reads through scan_equity, and parts carry the Parquet metadata key vike.schema.equity.

Identity

⚠ NEITHER field means what it says. venue is the fixed namespace string portfolio, and symbol carries the per-exchange venue name or the cross-venue TOTAL rollup — the scan's symbol argument is what the decoder re-injects as EquitySample::venue

This is the field most often assumed and most often wrong, which is why it is stated per kind rather than once for the store.

Columns

Every Arrow column today's writer emits, in schema order, with the codec flavor that picks its Arrow type and nullability.

Layout

Traps

A consumer that iterates list_series() and treats SeriesId::venue as a venue sees a venue called portfolio holding instruments called binance, okx and TOTAL. That is the layout, not a bug — but it is why an inventory view must key display off the kind before the venue.

Pinned rather than fixed: the contradiction is recorded with both sides named, so a reader meets it here instead of in production.

Known producers

Idempotency in this store is batch-level and keyed on a commit-key string, never on per-row value dedup. Two producers that collide on one template silently no-op each other's appends, and a producer that changes its template re-admits history it already wrote — both invisible unless the shapes are written side by side.

⚠ That list is observed, not exhaustive, and no gate can make it so: a commit key is an ordinary string argument, so proving the list complete would mean following every call in the workspace. What is gated per listed entry is that the producer exists and spells the template verbatim. Read it as "these producers write this kind", never as "only these do".

Where this comes from

vike_data::store_kind::STORE_KINDS, exported as rosters.json at every release. The store's own gate derives the live kind set from the code — the series directory literals, the compaction dispatch and the write verbs — and fails until a new kind has a row, so this page cannot describe a shape the store does not write.
