chain

Documentation

Overview

This runs single chain will all the committees, mempool, state mgr etc. The main task for this package to run the protocol as in a threaded environment, communicate between ChainMgr, Mempool, StateMgr, NodeConn and ConsensusInstances.

The following threads (goroutines) are running for a chain:

• ChainMgr (the main synchronizing thread)
• Mempool
• StateMgr
• Consensus (a thread for each instance).

This object interacts with:

• NodeConn.
• Administrative functions.

Types

type AliasOutputHandler

type AliasOutputHandler = func(outputInfo *isc.OutputInfo)

The Alias Outputs must be passed here in-order. The last alias output in the list is the unspent one (if there is a chain of outputs confirmed in a milestone).

type AwaitReceipt

type AwaitReceipt interface {
	Await(query *awaitReceiptReq)
	ConsiderState(state state.State, blocksAdded []state.Block) // Respond to all queries, that have receipts in the state.
	StatusString() string
}

AwaitReceipt implements await for request receipts.

func NewAwaitReceipt

func NewAwaitReceipt(cleanupEvery int, log *logger.Logger) AwaitReceipt

type Chain

type Chain interface {
	ChainCore
	ChainRequests
	// This is invoked when a node owner updates the chain configuration,
	// possibly to update the per-node accessNode list.
	ConfigUpdated(accessNodesPerNode []*cryptolib.PublicKey)
	// This is invoked when the accessMgr determines the nodes which
	// consider this node as an access node for this chain. The chain
	// can query the nodes for blocks, etc. NOTE: servers = access⁻¹
	ServersUpdated(serverNodes []*cryptolib.PublicKey)
	// Metrics and the current descriptive state.
	GetChainMetrics() *metrics.ChainMetrics
	GetConsensusPipeMetrics() ConsensusPipeMetrics // TODO: Review this.
	GetConsensusWorkflowStatus() ConsensusWorkflowStatus
	GetMempoolContents() io.Reader
}

type ChainCore

type ChainCore interface {
	ID() isc.ChainID
	// Returns the current latest confirmed alias output and the active one.
	// The active AO can be ahead of the confirmed one by several blocks.
	// Both values can be nil, if the node haven't received an output from
	// L1 yet (after a restart or a chain activation).
	LatestAliasOutput(freshness StateFreshness) (*isc.AliasOutputWithID, error)
	LatestState(freshness StateFreshness) (state.State, error)
	GetCommitteeInfo() *CommitteeInfo // TODO: Review, maybe we can reorganize the CommitteeInfo structure.
	Store() indexedstore.IndexedStore // Use LatestState whenever possible. That will work faster.
	Processors() *processors.Cache
	GetChainNodes() []peering.PeerStatusProvider     // CommitteeNodes + AccessNodes
	GetCandidateNodes() []*governance.AccessNodeInfo // All the current candidates.
	Log() *logger.Logger
}

type ChainListener

type ChainListener interface {
	mempool.ChainListener
	AccessNodesUpdated(chainID isc.ChainID, accessNodes []*cryptolib.PublicKey)
	ServerNodesUpdated(chainID isc.ChainID, serverNodes []*cryptolib.PublicKey)
}

Implementation of this interface will receive events in the chain. Initial intention was to provide info to the published/WebSocket endpoint. All the function MUST NOT BLOCK.

func NewEmptyChainListener

func NewEmptyChainListener() ChainListener

type ChainNodeConn

type ChainNodeConn interface {
	// Publishing can be canceled via the context.
	// The result must be returned via the callback, unless ctx is canceled first.
	// PublishTX handles promoting and reattachments until the tx is confirmed or the context is canceled.
	PublishTX(
		ctx context.Context,
		chainID isc.ChainID,
		tx *iotago.Transaction,
		callback TxPostHandler,
	) error
	// Alias outputs are expected to be returned in order. Considering the Hornet node, the rules are:
	//   - Upon Attach -- existing unspent alias output is returned FIRST.
	//   - Upon receiving a spent/unspent AO from L1 they are returned in
	//     the same order, as the milestones are issued.
	//   - If a single milestone has several alias outputs, they have to be ordered
	//     according to the chain of TXes.
	//
	// NOTE: Any out-of-order AO will be considered as a rollback or AO by the chain impl.
	AttachChain(
		ctx context.Context,

Tracks a single chain of state transitions. We will have 2 instances of it:

• one for tracking the active state. It is needed for mempool to clear the requests.
• one for the committed state to await for committed request receipts.
