Cuprate's blockchain database. This documentation is mostly for practical usage of `cuprate_blockchain`. For a high-level overview, see the database section in [Cuprate's architecture book](https://architecture.cuprate.org). # Purpose This crate does 3 things: 1. Uses [`cuprate_database`] as a base database layer 1. Implements various `Monero` related [operations](ops), [tables], and [types] 1. Exposes a [`tower::Service`] backed by a thread-pool Each layer builds on-top of the previous. As a user of `cuprate_blockchain`, consider using the higher-level [`service`] module, or at the very least the [`ops`] module instead of interacting with the `cuprate_database` traits directly. # `cuprate_database` Consider reading `cuprate_database`'s crate documentation before this crate, as it is the first layer. # Feature flags The `service` module requires the `service` feature to be enabled. See the module for more documentation. Different database backends are enabled by the feature flags: - `heed` (LMDB) - `redb` The default is `heed`. `tracing` is always enabled and cannot be disabled via feature-flag. # Invariants when not using `service` `cuprate_blockchain` can be used without the `service` feature enabled but there are some things that must be kept in mind when doing so. Failing to uphold these invariants may cause panics. 1. `LMDB` requires the user to resize the memory map resizing (see [`cuprate_database::RuntimeError::ResizeNeeded`] 1. `LMDB` has a maximum reader transaction count, currently it is set to `128` 1. `LMDB` has [maximum key/value byte size](http://www.lmdb.tech/doc/group__internal.html#gac929399f5d93cef85f874b9e9b1d09e0) which must not be exceeded # Examples The below is an example of using `cuprate_blockchain` lowest API, i.e. using a mix of this crate and `cuprate_database`'s traits directly - this is not recommended. For examples of the higher-level APIs, see: - [`ops`] - [`service`] ```rust use cuprate_database::{ ConcreteEnv, Env, EnvInner, DatabaseRo, DatabaseRw, TxRo, TxRw, }; use cuprate_blockchain::{ config::ConfigBuilder, tables::{Tables, TablesMut}, OpenTables, }; # fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { // Create a configuration for the database environment. let db_dir = tempfile::tempdir()?; let config = ConfigBuilder::new() .db_directory(db_dir.path().to_path_buf()) .build(); // Initialize the database environment. let env = ConcreteEnv::open(config)?; // Open up a transaction + tables for writing. let env_inner = env.env_inner(); let tx_rw = env_inner.tx_rw()?; let mut tables = env_inner.open_tables_mut(&tx_rw)?; // ⚠️ Write data to the tables directly. // (not recommended, use `ops` or `service`). const KEY_IMAGE: [u8; 32] = [88; 32]; tables.key_images_mut().put(&KEY_IMAGE, &())?; // Commit the data written. drop(tables); TxRw::commit(tx_rw)?; // Read the data, assert it is correct. let tx_ro = env_inner.tx_ro()?; let tables = env_inner.open_tables(&tx_ro)?; let (key_image, _) = tables.key_images().first()?; assert_eq!(key_image, KEY_IMAGE); # Ok(()) } ```
