Persist

The persist package contains functionality for storing persisted data.

AppendOnly

Key Files

• appendonly.go

The AppendOnly Persistence System is responsible for persistence files maintained in an append-only fashion and ensures safe and performant ACID operations. An append-only structure is used with the length in bytes encoded in the metadata.

Inbound Complexities

• NewAppendOnlyPersist initializes the persistence file, either creating or loading it
• Write appends the information to the persistence file

BoltDB

Functions

func LoadJSON

func LoadJSON(meta Metadata, object interface{}, filename string) error

LoadJSON will load a persisted json object from disk.

func RandomSuffix

func RandomSuffix() string

RandomSuffix returns a 20 character base32 suffix for a filename. There are 100 bits of entropy, and a very low probability of colliding with existing files unintentionally.

func RemoveFile

func RemoveFile(filename string) error

RemoveFile removes an atomic file from disk, along with any uncommitted or temporary files.

func SaveJSON

func SaveJSON(meta Metadata, object interface{}, filename string) error

SaveJSON will save a json object to disk in a durable, atomic way. The resulting file will have a checksum of the data as the third line. If manually editing files, the checksum line can be replaced with the 8 characters "manual". This will cause the reader to accept the checksum even though the file has been changed.

Types

type AppendOnlyPersist

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

AppendOnlyPersist is the object responsible for creating, loading, and updating append-only persist files.

func NewAppendOnlyPersist

func NewAppendOnlyPersist(dir, file string, metadataHeader, metadataVersion types.Specifier) (*AppendOnlyPersist, io.Reader, error)

NewAppendOnlyPersist creates a new AppendOnlyPersist object and initializes the persistence file.

func (*AppendOnlyPersist) Close

func (aop *AppendOnlyPersist) Close() error

Close closes the persist file, freeing the resource and preventing further writes.

func (*AppendOnlyPersist) FilePath

func (aop *AppendOnlyPersist) FilePath() string

FilePath returns the filepath of the persist file.

func (*AppendOnlyPersist) PersistLength

func (aop *AppendOnlyPersist) PersistLength() uint64

PersistLength returns the length of the persist data.

func (*AppendOnlyPersist) Write

func (aop *AppendOnlyPersist) Write(b []byte) (int, error)

Write implements the io.Writer interface. It updates the persist file, appending the changes to the persist file on disk.

type BoltDatabase

type BoltDatabase struct {
	Metadata
	*bolt.DB
}

BoltDatabase is a persist-level wrapper for the bolt database, providing extra information such as a version number.

func OpenDatabase

func OpenDatabase(md Metadata, filename string) (*BoltDatabase, error)

OpenDatabase opens a database and validates its metadata.

func (*BoltDatabase) Close

func (db *BoltDatabase) Close() error

Close closes the database.

type FixedMetadata

type FixedMetadata struct {
	Header  types.Specifier
	Version types.Specifier
}

FixedMetadata contains the header and version of the data being stored as a fixed-length byte-array.

func VerifyMetadataHeader

func VerifyMetadataHeader(r io.Reader, expected FixedMetadata) (FixedMetadata, error)

VerifyMetadataHeader will take in a reader and an expected metadata header, if the file's header has a different header or version it will return the corresponding error and the actual metadata header

type Logger

type Logger struct {
	*log.Logger
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Logger is a wrapper for the standard library logger that enforces logging with the Sia-standard settings. It also supports a Close method, which attempts to close the underlying io.Writer.

func NewFileLogger

func NewFileLogger(logFilename string) (*Logger, error)

NewFileLogger returns a logger that logs to logFilename. The file is opened in append mode, and created if it does not exist.

func NewLogger

func NewLogger(w io.Writer) *Logger

NewLogger returns a logger that can be closed. Calls should not be made to the logger after 'Close' has been called.

func (*Logger) Close

func (l *Logger) Close() error

Close logs a shutdown message and closes the Logger's underlying io.Writer, if it is also an io.Closer.

func (*Logger) Critical

func (l *Logger) Critical(v ...interface{})

Critical logs a message with a CRITICAL prefix that guides the user to the Sia github tracker. If debug mode is enabled, it will also write the message to os.Stderr and panic. Critical should only be called if there has been a developer error, otherwise Severe should be called.

func (*Logger) Debug

func (l *Logger) Debug(v ...interface{})

Debug is equivalent to Logger.Print when build.DEBUG is true. Otherwise it is a no-op.

func (*Logger) Debugf

func (l *Logger) Debugf(format string, v ...interface{})

Debugf is equivalent to Logger.Printf when build.DEBUG is true. Otherwise it is a no-op.

func (*Logger) Debugln

func (l *Logger) Debugln(v ...interface{})

Debugln is equivalent to Logger.Println when build.DEBUG is true. Otherwise it is a no-op.

func (*Logger) Severe

func (l *Logger) Severe(v ...interface{})

Severe logs a message with a SEVERE prefix. If debug mode is enabled, it will also write the message to os.Stderr and panic. Severe should be called if there is a severe problem with the user's machine or setup that should be addressed ASAP but does not necessarily require that the machine crash or exit.

type Metadata

type Metadata struct {
	Header  string
	Version string
}

Metadata contains the header and version of the data being stored.
