R&D merge of explorer/consensus modules #605
Description
- layout on a high level how the merge would look like
- (phase 1) investigate if we can use an embedded DB which would require rich queries (queries that give freedom, on the fly, in what is to be computed and returned), GraphQL comes to mind;
- BoltDB can probably still be used for now, GraphQL will provide the API only:
- An issue has been created for it: provide GraphQL explorer module for rivine (shorthand: q) #612
- BoltDB can probably still be used for now, GraphQL will provide the API only:
- (phase 2) investigate if we want can'want-to use storm to enhance our boltDB usage: R&D if we can use storm to enhance our performance of Rivine's boltDB usage #613
- (phase 3) merge the two modules with a unified DB persistent backend
- ensure to have full compatibility with existing HTTP API Endpoints
- for the new queries new endpoints will be introduced
- this will be a breaking change in the Go Module API
Extra:
- develop a small example frontend website that interacts with a local daemon and that showcases the richness of queries now possible
