Overview

Package mru defines Mutable resource updates. A Mutable Resource is an entity which allows updates to a resource without resorting to ENS on each update. The update scheme is built on swarm chunks with chunk keys following a predictable, versionable pattern.

Updates are defined to be periodic in nature, where the update frequency is expressed in seconds.

The root entry of a mutable resource is tied to a unique identifier that is deterministically generated out of the metadata content that describes the resource. This metadata includes a user-defined resource name, a resource start time that indicates when the resource becomes valid, the frequency in seconds with which the resource is expected to be updated, both of which are stored as little-endian uint64 values in the database (for a total of 16 bytes). It also contains the owner's address (ownerAddr) This MRU info is stored in a separate content-addressed chunk (call it the metadata chunk), with the following layout:

(00|length|startTime|frequency|name|ownerAddr)

(The two first zero-value bytes are used for disambiguation by the chunk validator, and update chunk will always have a value > 0 there.)

Each metadata chunk is identified by its rootAddr, calculated as follows: metaHash=H(len(metadata), startTime, frequency,name) rootAddr = H(metaHash, ownerAddr). where H is the SHA3 hash function This scheme effectively locks the root chunk so that only the owner of the private key that ownerAddr was derived from can sign updates.

The root entry tells the requester from when the mutable resource was first added (Unix time in seconds) and in which moments to look for the actual updates. Thus, a resource update for identifier "føø.bar" starting at unix time 1528800000 with frequency 300 (every 5 mins) will have updates on 1528800300, 1528800600, 1528800900 and so on.

Actual data updates are also made in the form of swarm chunks. The keys of the updates are the hash of a concatenation of properties as follows:

updateAddr = H(period, version, rootAddr) where H is the SHA3 hash function The period is (currentTime - startTime) / frequency

Using our previous example, this means that a period 3 will happen when the clock hits 1528800900

If more than one update is made in the same period, incremental version numbers are used successively.

A user looking up a resource would only need to know the rootAddr in order to get the versions

the resource update data is: resourcedata = headerlength|period|version|rootAddr|flags|metaHash where flags is a 1-byte flags field. Flag 0 is set to 1 to indicate multihash

the full update data that goes in the chunk payload is: resourcedata|sign(resourcedata)

headerlength is a 16 bit value containing the byte length of period|version|rootAddr|flags|metaHash

Handler is the API for Mutable Resources It enables creating, updating, syncing and retrieving resources and their update data

An error will be returned if the total length of the chunk payload will exceed this limit. Update can only check if the caller is trying to overwrite the very last known version, otherwise it just puts the update on the network.
