Overview

grpcdb is the distribution of Tendermint's db.DB instances using the gRPC transport to decouple local db.DB usages from applications, to using them over a network in a highly performant manner.

grpcdb allows users to initialize a database's server like they would locally and invoke the respective methods of db.DB.

Most users shouldn't use this package, but should instead use remotedb. Only the lower level users and database server deployers should use it, for functionality such as:

ln, err := net.Listen("tcp", "0.0.0.0:0")
srv := grpcdb.NewServer()
defer srv.Stop()
go func() {
	if err := srv.Serve(ln); err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("BindServer: %v", err)
	}
}()

or

addr := ":8998"
cert := "server.crt"
key := "server.key"
go func() {
	if err := grpcdb.ListenAndServe(addr, cert, key); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("BindServer: %v", err)
	}
}()

Example

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"context"
	"log"

	grpcdb "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/libs/db/remotedb/grpcdb"
	protodb "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/libs/db/remotedb/proto"
)

func main() {
	addr := ":8998"
	cert := "server.crt"
	key := "server.key"
	go func() {
		if err := grpcdb.ListenAndServe(addr, cert, key); err != nil {
			log.Fatalf("BindServer: %v", err)
		}
	}()

	client, err := grpcdb.NewClient(addr, cert)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to create grpcDB client: %v", err)
	}

	ctx := context.Background()
	// 1. Initialize the DB
	in := &protodb.Init{
		Type: "leveldb",
		Name: "grpc-uno-test",
		Dir:  ".",
	}
	if _, err := client.Init(ctx, in); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Init error: %v", err)
	}

	// 2. Now it can be used!
	query1 := &protodb.Entity{Key: []byte("Project"), Value: []byte("Tmlibs-on-gRPC")}
	if _, err := client.SetSync(ctx, query1); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("SetSync err: %v", err)
	}

	query2 := &protodb.Entity{Key: []byte("Project")}
	read, err := client.Get(ctx, query2)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Get err: %v", err)
	}
	if g, w := read.Value, []byte("Tmlibs-on-gRPC"); !bytes.Equal(g, w) {
		log.Fatalf("got= (%q ==> % X)\nwant=(%q ==> % X)", g, g, w, w)
	}
}

Functions

func ListenAndServe

func ListenAndServe(addr, cert, key string, opts ...grpc.ServerOption) error

ListenAndServe is a blocking function that sets up a gRPC based server at the address supplied, with the gRPC options passed in. Normally in usage, invoke it in a goroutine like you would for http.ListenAndServe.

func NewClient

func NewClient(serverAddr, serverCert string) (protodb.DBClient, error)

NewClient creates a gRPC client connected to the bound gRPC server at serverAddr. Use kind to set the level of security to either Secure or Insecure.

func NewServer

func NewServer(cert, key string, opts ...grpc.ServerOption) (*grpc.Server, error)
