Types

type Fetcher

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

Fetcher is responsible for accumulating block announcements from various peers and scheduling them for retrieval.

func New

func New(getBlock blockRetrievalFn,
	verifyHeader headerVerifierFn,
	broadcastBlock blockBroadcasterFn,
	chainHeight chainHeightFn,
	insertChain chainInsertFn,
	dropPeer peerDropFn) *Fetcher

New creates a block fetcher to retrieve blocks based on hash announcements.

func (*Fetcher) Enqueue

func (f *Fetcher) Enqueue(peer string, block *types.Block) error

Enqueue tries to fill gaps the fetcher's future import queue.

func (*Fetcher) Notify

func (f *Fetcher) Notify(peer string, hash common.Hash, number uint64, time time.Time,
	blockFetcher blockRequesterFn) error

Notify announces the fetcher of the potential availability of a new block in the network.

func (*Fetcher) Start

func (f *Fetcher) Start()

Start boots up the announcement based synchroniser, accepting and processing hash notifications and block fetches until termination requested.

func (*Fetcher) Stop

func (f *Fetcher) Stop()

Stop terminates the announcement based synchroniser, canceling all pending operations.
