Bloc: Hydrated_bloc and Hive

[mintymac]

Thank you for all of your work.

I was recently considering Hydrated_bloc and I was wondering what @felangel and the team thought about a possible deprecation of Hive, based on this: The Future of Hive

Thoughts? Thank you.

Hi @mintymac 👋
Thanks for opening an issue and for the positive feedback!

We are aware of the possible deprecation of Hive v1.0 and the plan is to evaluate v2.0 once it is stable to determine a migration strategy. We will try to minimize any breaking changes (hydrated_bloc abstracts the hive implementation) and handle any data migration so that as a developer the upgrade is smooth and seamless.

Hope that helps! Closing for now but feel free to comment with any additional questions and I'm happy to continue the conversation 👍

[mintymac]

Of course! The position is understandable, I have just begun to have issues with packages not being updated, path is one. Have a good one!

[felangel]

@mintymac I think the intention is for the existing package to continue to be maintained 🤞 https://github.com/hivedb/hive/issues/246#issuecomment-662425202

Thanks, you too!

I suggest sqflite.
Stable, reliable, basic, fast, clean, always.

@omidraha @mintymac
In my opinion Hive 2.0 is an honorable undertaking from Hive's team, all things should evolve with time😉
However this doesn't mean old things will break, and current Hive is mature and fits our current requirements.
So once Hive 2.0 is released, we'll proceed with migration

Hive also did some benchmarking against sqflite

And we benchmarked it against sembast(here) and moor_ffi(here)

Hive is superior in my opinion😛

[omidraha]

In fact, before I immigrated, I tried all of them:

• sembast
• sembast_sqflite
• sqflite
• streamqflite
• sqlbrite
• sqlcool
• moor
• moor_flutter
• moor_ffi
• floor
• objectdb
• objectbox
• hive
• hive_flutter

But, in my experience sqflite is faster and is straightforward and there is nothing hidden issues inside.

I think this, pursues these great and efficient goals, and I hope that other developers of these above packages will come to their aid.
Maybe a joint package with the cooperation and experience of all of above packages developers.

@omidraha yeah, this as well as this in general, is very exciting stuff👌
Also, glad you found a solution that suits your needs for now
