Overview

Package node sets up multi-protocol Ethereum nodes.

In the model exposed by this package, a node is a collection of services which use shared resources to provide RPC APIs. Services can also offer devp2p protocols, which are wired up to the devp2p network when the node instance is started.

Resources Managed By Node

All file-system resources used by a node instance are located in a directory called the data directory. The location of each resource can be overridden through additional node configuration. The data directory is optional. If it is not set and the location of a resource is otherwise unspecified, package node will create the resource in memory.

To access to the devp2p network, Node configures and starts p2p.Server. Each host on the devp2p network has a unique identifier, the node key. The Node instance persists this key across restarts. Node also loads static and trusted node lists and ensures that knowledge about other hosts is persisted.

JSON-RPC servers which run HTTP, WebSocket or IPC can be started on a Node. RPC modules offered by registered services will be offered on those endpoints. Users can restrict any endpoint to a subset of RPC modules. Node itself offers the "debug", "admin" and "web3" modules.

Service implementations can open LevelDB databases through the service context. Package node chooses the file system location of each database. If the node is configured to run without a data directory, databases are opened in memory instead.

Node also creates the shared store of encrypted Ethereum account keys. Services can access the account manager through the service context.

Sharing Data Directory Among Instances

Multiple node instances can share a single data directory if they have distinct instance names (set through the Name config option). Sharing behaviour depends on the type of resource.

devp2p-related resources (node key, static/trusted node lists, known hosts database) are stored in a directory with the same name as the instance. Thus, multiple node instances using the same data directory will store this information in different subdirectories of the data directory.

LevelDB databases are also stored within the instance subdirectory. If multiple node instances use the same data directory, openening the databases with identical names will create one database for each instance.

The account key store is shared among all node instances using the same data directory unless its location is changed through the KeyStoreDir configuration option.

Data Directory Sharing Example

In this example, two node instances named A and B are started with the same data directory. Mode instance A opens the database "db", node instance B opens the databases "db" and "db-2". The following files will be created in the data directory: 

data-directory/
     A/
         nodekey            -- devp2p node key of instance A
         nodes/             -- devp2p discovery knowledge database of instance A
         db/                -- LevelDB content for "db"
     A.ipc                  -- JSON-RPC UNIX domain socket endpoint of instance A
     B/
         nodekey            -- devp2p node key of node B
         nodes/             -- devp2p discovery knowledge database of instance B
         static-nodes.json  -- devp2p static node list of instance B
         db/                -- LevelDB content for "db"
         db-2/              -- LevelDB content for "db-2"
     B.ipc                  -- JSON-RPC UNIX domain socket endpoint of instance A
     keystore/              -- account key store, used by both instances

	// Start is called after all services have been constructed and the networking

Service is an individual protocol that can be registered into a node.

Notes:

• Service life-cycle management is delegated to the node. The service is allowed to initialize itself upon creation, but no goroutines should be spun up outside of the Start method.

• Restart logic is not required as the node will create a fresh instance every time a service is started.

Example 
package main

	"github.com/x256free/fastychain/v4/node"
	"github.com/x256free/fastychain/v4/p2p"
	"github.com/x256free/fastychain/v4/rpc"
)

// SampleService is a trivial network service that can be attached to a node for
// life cycle management.
//
// The following methods are needed to implement a node.Service:

//   - APIs() []rpc.API           - api methods the service wants to expose on rpc channels
//   - Start() error              - method invoked when the node is ready to start the service
//   - Stop() error               - method invoked when the node terminates the service

}
func (s *SampleService) Stop() error { fmt.Println("Service stopping..."); return nil }

	}
	// Create and register a simple network service. This is done through the definition
	// of a node.ServiceConstructor that will instantiate a node.Service. The reason for

	// individual implementations' support for such operations.
	constructor := func(context *node.ServiceContext) (node.Service, error) {
		return new(SampleService), nil
	}
	if err := stack.Register(constructor); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to register service: %v", err)
