Ledger Package

This package implements the ledger, which includes the blockchain and global state.

If you're looking for API to work with the blockchain or state, look in ledger.go. This is the file where all public functions are exposed and is extensively documented. The sections in the file are:

Transaction-batch functions

These are functions that consensus should call. BeginTxBatch followed by CommitTxBatch or RollbackTxBatch. These functions will add a block to the blockchain with the specified transactions.

World-state functions

These functions are used to modify the global state. They would generally be called by the VM based on requests from chaincode.

Blockchain functions

These functions can be used to retrieve blocks/transactions from the blockchain or other information such as the blockchain size. Addition of blocks to the blockchain is done though the transaction-batch related functions.

Types

type Error

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

Error can be used for throwing an error from ledger code.

func (*Error) Error

func (ledgerError *Error) Error() string

func (*Error) Type

func (ledgerError *Error) Type() ErrorType

Type returns the type of the error

type ErrorType

type ErrorType string

ErrorType represents the type of a ledger error

type Ledger

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

Ledger - the struct for openchain ledger

func GetLedger

func GetLedger() (*Ledger, error)

GetLedger - gives a reference to a 'singleton' ledger

func GetNewLedger

func GetNewLedger() (*Ledger, error)

func InitTestLedger

func InitTestLedger(t *testing.T) *Ledger

InitTestLedger provides a ledger for testing. This method creates a fresh db and constructs a ledger instance on that.

func (*Ledger) ApplyStateDelta

func (ledger *Ledger) ApplyStateDelta(id interface{}, delta *statemgmt.StateDelta) error

ApplyStateDelta applies a state delta to the current state. This is an in memory change only. You must call ledger.CommitStateDelta to persist the change to the DB. This should only be used as part of state synchronization. State deltas can be retrieved from another peer though the Ledger.GetStateDelta function or by creating state deltas with keys retrieved from Ledger.GetStateSnapshot(). For an example, see TestSetRawState in ledger_test.go Note that there is no order checking in this function and it is up to the caller to ensure that deltas are applied in the correct order. For example, if you are currently at block 8 and call this function with a delta retrieved from Ledger.GetStateDelta(10), you would now be in a bad state because you did not apply the delta for block 9. It's possible to roll the state forwards or backwards using stateDelta.RollBackwards. By default, a delta retrieved for block 3 can be used to roll forwards from state at block 2 to state at block 3. If stateDelta.RollBackwards=false, the delta retrieved for block 3 can be used to roll backwards from the state at block 3 to the state at block 2.

func (*Ledger) GetStateDelta

func (ledger *Ledger) GetStateDelta(blockNumber uint64) (*statemgmt.StateDelta, error)

GetStateRangeScanIterator returns an iterator to get all the keys (and values) between startKey and endKey (assuming lexical order of the keys) for a chaincodeID. If committed is true, the key-values are retrieved only from the db. If committed is false, the results from db are mergerd with the results in memory (giving preference to in-memory data) The key-values in the returned iterator are not guaranteed to be in any specific order

func (*Ledger) GetStateSnapshot

func (ledger *Ledger) GetStateSnapshot() (*state.StateSnapshot, error)

GetStateSnapshot returns a point-in-time view of the global state for the current block. This should be used when transferring the state from one peer to another peer. You must call stateSnapshot.Release() once you are done with the snapsnot to free up resources.

func (*Ledger) VerifyChain

func (ledger *Ledger) VerifyChain(highBlock, lowBlock uint64) (uint64, error)

VerifyChain will verify the integrety of the blockchain. This is accomplished by ensuring that the previous block hash stored in each block matches the actual hash of the previous block in the chain. The return value is the block number of lowest block in the range which can be verified as valid. The first block is assumed to be valid, and an error is only returned if the first block does not exist, or some other sort of irrecoverable ledger error such as the first block failing to hash is encountered. For example, if VerifyChain(0, 99) is called and prevous hash values stored in blocks 8, 32, and 42 do not match the actual hashes of respective previous block 42 would be the return value from this function. highBlock is the high block in the chain to include in verofication. If you wish to verify the entire chain, use ledger.GetBlockchainSize() - 1. lowBlock is the low block in the chain to include in verification. If you wish to verify the entire chain, use 0 for the genesis block.
