Gracefully stopping cineast during an exception in the extraction process

[RibinMTC]

Dear devs,

What are the best practices to stop cineast gracefully, when an exception occurs during the extraction process? Specifically, I want to revert any changes made to all tables during the extraction process.

Best,

Ribin

Hey, vitrivr does not currently support a transactional extraction process. If you want a all-or-nothing semantic in your database, you would need to extract to a separate location, such as a json file, and import the results after the extraction completes. Is there any particular reason you are having exceptions during the extraction? This is not something that usually happens.

There's also some discussion in #114 on this topic as additional context
