README

stellar-archivist

This is a small tool, written in Go, for working with stellar-core history archives directly. It is a standalone tool that does not require stellar-core, or any other programs.

It is much smaller and simpler than stellar-core, and is intended only for archive-maintenance tasks.

• reporting the current state of an archive
• mirroring archives, or portions of archives
• scanning all or recent portions of archives for missing files
• repairing archives by copying missing files from other archives
• performing integrity checks on files

Installation

$ go install github.com/stellar/go/tools/stellar-archivist

Usage

inspect stellar history archive

Usage:
  stellar-archivist [flags]
  stellar-archivist [command]

Available Commands:
  dumpxdr
  mirror
  repair
  scan
  status

Flags:
  -c, --concurrency int   number of files to operate on concurrently (default 32)
  -n, --dryrun            describe file-writes, but do not perform any
  -f, --force             overwrite existing files
  -h, --help              help for stellar-archivist
      --high int          last ledger to act on (default 4294967295)
      --last int          number of recent ledgers to act on (default -1)
      --low int           first ledger to act on
      --profile           collect and serve profile locally
      --s3region string   S3 region to connect to (default "us-east-1")
      --s3endpoint string S3 endpoint (default to AWS endpoint for selected region)
      --thorough          decode and re-encode all buckets
      --verify            verify file contents

Use "stellar-archivist [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Specifying history archives

Unlike stellar-core, stellar-archivist does not run subprocesses to access history archives; instead it operates directly on history archives given by URLs. Currently it understands URLs of the following schemes:

• http://hostname/path/to/archive
• s3://bucketname/prefix
• file://path/to/archive

Supporting an additional URL scheme requires writing a new archive backend implementation; see for example the S3 backend.

The disadvantage of this approach is that it requires special-purpose code to support each type of archive; the advantage is that more operations are supported, and the tool can scan and operate on archives much more quickly. This is necessary to handle bulk operations on archives with many thousands of files efficiently.

S3 backend

stellar-archivist supports reading from and writing to any S3-compatible storage.

The following options are specific to S3 backend:

• --s3region string — AWS S3 region to connect to (default "us-east-1")
• --s3endpoint string — S3-compatible endpoint (default to AWS S3 endpoint for selected region)

For example, to check the current status of an archive in DigitalOcean Spaces (ams3 region):

$ stellar-archivist status --s3endpoint ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com s3://bucketname/prefix

Examples of use

Reporting the current status of an archive:

$ stellar-archivist status http://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/history.stellar.org/prd/core-testnet/core_testnet_001

       Archive: http://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/history.stellar.org/prd/core-testnet/core_testnet_001
