Documentation

Overview

This is a temporary package whilst working on the eth/66 blocking refactors. After that work is done, les needs to be refactored to use the new package, or alternatively use a stripped down version of it. Either way, we need to keep the changes scoped so duplicating temporarily seems the sanest.

New creates a new downloader to fetch hashes and blocks from remote peers.

func (*Downloader) Cancel

func (d *Downloader) Cancel()

Cancel aborts all of the operations and waits for all download goroutines to finish before returning.

func (*Downloader) DeliverBodies

func (d *Downloader) DeliverBodies(id string, transactions [][]*types.Transaction, uncles [][]*types.Header) error

DeliverBodies injects a new batch of block bodies received from a remote node.

func (*Downloader) DeliverHeaders

func (d *Downloader) DeliverHeaders(id string, headers []*types.Header) error

DeliverHeaders injects a new batch of block headers received from a remote node into the download schedule.

func (*Downloader) DeliverNodeData

func (d *Downloader) DeliverNodeData(id string, data [][]byte) error

DeliverNodeData injects a new batch of node state data received from a remote node.

func (*Downloader) DeliverReceipts

func (d *Downloader) DeliverReceipts(id string, receipts [][]*types.Receipt) error

DeliverReceipts injects a new batch of receipts received from a remote node.

func (*Downloader) DeliverSnapPacket

func (d *Downloader) DeliverSnapPacket(peer *snap.Peer, packet snap.Packet) error

DeliverSnapPacket is invoked from a peer's message handler when it transmits a data packet for the local node to consume.

func (*Downloader) Progress

func (d *Downloader) Progress() ethereum.SyncProgress

Progress retrieves the synchronisation boundaries, specifically the origin block where synchronisation started at (may have failed/suspended); the block or header sync is currently at; and the latest known block which the sync targets.

In addition, during the state download phase of fast synchronisation the number of processed and the total number of known states are also returned. Otherwise these are zero.

func (*Downloader) RegisterLightPeer

func (d *Downloader) RegisterLightPeer(id string, version uint, peer LightPeer) error

RegisterLightPeer injects a light client peer, wrapping it so it appears as a regular peer.

func (*Downloader) RegisterPeer

func (d *Downloader) RegisterPeer(id string, version uint, peer Peer) error

RegisterPeer injects a new download peer into the set of block source to be used for fetching hashes and blocks from.

func (*Downloader) Synchronise

func (d *Downloader) Synchronise(id string, head common.Hash, td *big.Int, mode SyncMode) error

Synchronise tries to sync up our local block chain with a remote peer, both adding various sanity checks as well as wrapping it with various log entries.

func (*Downloader) Synchronising

func (d *Downloader) Synchronising() bool

Synchronising returns whether the downloader is currently retrieving blocks.

func (*Downloader) Terminate

func (d *Downloader) Terminate()

Terminate interrupts the downloader, canceling all pending operations. The downloader cannot be reused after calling Terminate.

func (*Downloader) UnregisterPeer

func (d *Downloader) UnregisterPeer(id string) error

UnregisterPeer remove a peer from the known list, preventing any action from the specified peer. An effort is also made to return any pending fetches into the queue.

type DownloaderAPI

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

DownloaderAPI provides an API which gives information about the current synchronisation status. It offers only methods that operates on data that can be available to anyone without security risks.

func NewDownloaderAPI

func NewDownloaderAPI(d *Downloader, m *event.TypeMux) *DownloaderAPI

NewDownloaderAPI create a new PublicDownloaderAPI. The API has an internal event loop that listens for events from the downloader through the global event mux. In case it receives one of these events it broadcasts it to all syncing subscriptions that are installed through the installSyncSubscription channel.

func (*DownloaderAPI) SubscribeSyncStatus

func (api *DownloaderAPI) SubscribeSyncStatus(status chan interface{}) *SyncStatusSubscription

SubscribeSyncStatus creates a subscription that will broadcast new synchronisation updates. The given channel must receive interface values, the result can either

func (*DownloaderAPI) Syncing

func (api *DownloaderAPI) Syncing(ctx context.Context) (*rpc.Subscription, error)

Syncing provides information when this nodes starts synchronising with the Ethereum network and when it's finished.
