## Functionality
|
|
|
|
### Head syncer
|
|
|
|
Opens a websocket connection and processes live transactions.
|
|
|
|
### Janitor
|
|
|
|
Periodically checks for missed (and historical) blocks missed by the head syncer and queues them for processing. A gap range is processed twice to guarantee there is no missing block.
|
|
|
|
### Pipeline
|
|
|
|
Fetches a block and executes the filters in serial order for every transaction in the block before finally committing the block to the store.
|
|
|
|
### Filter
|
|
|
|
Processes a transaction and passes it on to the next filter or terminates the pipeline for that transaction if it is irrelevant.
|
|
|
|
### Store schema
|
|
|
|
- The `blocks` table keeps track of processed blocks.
|
|
- The `syncer_meta` table keeps track of the lower_bound cursor. Below the lower_bound cursor, all blocks are guarnteed to have been processsed hence it is safe to trim the `blocks` table below that pointer.
|
|
|
|
### GraphQL
|
|
|
|
- Fetches a block (and some of its header details), transactions and transaction receipts embedded within the transaction object in a single call.
|
|
|
|
### NATS JetStream
|
|
|
|
- The final filter will emit an event to JetStream.
|
|
|
|
To view/debug the JetStream messages, you can use [Benthos](https://benthos.dev)
|
|
|
|
With a config like:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
input:
|
|
label: jetstream
|
|
nats_jetstream:
|
|
urls:
|
|
- nats://127.0.0.1:4222
|
|
subject: "CHAIN.*"
|
|
durable: benthos
|
|
deliver: all
|
|
output:
|
|
stdout:
|
|
codec: lines
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
- Blocks are not guaranteed to be processed in order, however a low concurrency setting would somewhat give an "in-order" behaviour (not to be relied upon in any case).
