Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	BatchTimeout      int // in seconds
	MaxRetiresForPeer int
	BatchSize         int
	RequestTimeout    int // in seconds
}

Config is the configuration file of the Fetch component

type ErrCouldNotSend

type ErrCouldNotSend error

ErrCouldNotSend is a special type of error indicating fetch could not be done because message could not be sent to peers

type Fetch

type Fetch struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Fetch is the main struct that contains network peers and logic to batch and dispatch hash fetch requests

func NewFetch

func NewFetch(cfg Config, network service.Service, logger log.Log) *Fetch

NewFetch creates a new Fetch struct

func (*Fetch) AddDB

func (f *Fetch) AddDB(hint Hint, db database.Database)

AddDB adds a DB with corresponding hint all network peersProvider will be able to query this DB

func (*Fetch) FetchRequestHandler

func (f *Fetch) FetchRequestHandler(data []byte) []byte

FetchRequestHandler handles requests for sync from peersProvider, and basically reads data from database and puts it in a response batch

func (*Fetch) GetHash

func (f *Fetch) GetHash(hash types.Hash32, h Hint, validateHash bool) chan HashDataPromiseResult

GetHash is the regular buffered call to get a specific hash, using provided hash, h as hint the receiving end will know where to look for the hash, this function returns HashDataPromiseResult channel that will hold data received or error

func (*Fetch) GetHashes

func (f *Fetch) GetHashes(hashes []types.Hash32, hint Hint, validateHash bool) map[types.Hash32]chan HashDataPromiseResult

GetHashes gets a list of hashes to be fetched and will return a map of hashes and their respective promise channels

func (*Fetch) Start

func (f *Fetch) Start()

Start starts handling fetch requests

func (*Fetch) Stop

func (f *Fetch) Stop()

Stop stops handling fetch requests

type Fetcher

type Fetcher interface {
	GetHash(hash types.Hash32, h Hint, validateHash bool) chan HashDataPromiseResult
	GetHashes(hash []types.Hash32, hint Hint, validateHash bool) map[types.Hash32]chan HashDataPromiseResult
}

Fetcher is the general interface of the fetching unit, capable of requesting bytes that corresponds to a hash from other remote peers.

type HashDataPromiseResult

type HashDataPromiseResult struct {
	Err  error
	Hash types.Hash32
	Data []byte
}

HashDataPromiseResult is the result strict when requesting data corresponding to the Hash

type Hint

type Hint string

Hint marks which DB should be queried for a certain provided hash

type MessageNetwork

type MessageNetwork struct {
	*server.MessageServer

	log.Log
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

MessageNetwork is a network interface that allows fetch to communicate with other nodes with 'fetch servers'

func NewMessageNetwork

func NewMessageNetwork(requestTimeOut int, net service.Service, protocol string, log log.Log) *MessageNetwork

NewMessageNetwork creates a new instance of the fetch network server

func (MessageNetwork) GetRandomPeer

func (f MessageNetwork) GetRandomPeer() p2ppeers.Peer

GetRandomPeer returns a random peer from current peer list
