newTreapNode The treapNodePool will allow for less memory allocations during immutable treap operations. We first change the cloneTreapNode and newTreapNode to allocate a treapNode from the sync.Pool. The allocated treapNodes will be put back into the sync.Pool in later commits. |

database
Package database provides a block and metadata storage database.
Please note that this package is intended to enable btcd to support different database backends and is not something that a client can directly access as only one entity can have the database open at a time (for most database backends), and that entity will be btcd.
When a client wants programmatic access to the data provided by btcd, they'll likely want to use the rpcclient package which makes use of the JSON-RPC API.
However, this package could be extremely useful for any applications requiring Bitcoin block storage capabilities.
The default backend, ffldb, has a strong focus on speed, efficiency, and robustness. It makes use of leveldb for the metadata, flat files for block storage, and strict checksums in key areas to ensure data integrity.
Feature Overview
- Key/value metadata store
- Bitcoin block storage
- Efficient retrieval of block headers and regions (transactions, scripts, etc)
- Read-only and read-write transactions with both manual and managed modes
- Nested buckets
- Iteration support including cursors with seek capability
- Supports registration of backend databases
- Comprehensive test coverage
Installation and Updating
$ go get -u github.com/btcsuite/btcd/database
Examples
-
Basic Usage Example
Demonstrates creating a new database and using a managed read-write transaction to store and retrieve metadata. -
Block Storage and Retrieval Example
Demonstrates creating a new database, using a managed read-write transaction to store a block, and then using a managed read-only transaction to fetch the block.
