Description
Presently, Fabric stores StateDB in CouchDB or goLevelDB. Create a pluggable mechanism for StateDB using MongoDB. Also, create a pluggable mechanism for storing ledger files in a database such as MongoDB. This mechanism will not only help make data stores truly pluggable, but also make easy to analyze Hyperledger Fabric data natively using MongoDB. Analzying Fabric data (e.g., for provenance) is currently a huge challenge and requires creation/setup of a separate infrastructure.
Additional Information
- See
- See last year's project on blockchain-analyzer which retrieves and stores the Fabric data in a separate data store for better analysis. This approach requires a separate copy of Fabric data, which creates a storage and operational overhead.
Learning Objectives
- Hyperledger Fabric code
- Go, Docker
- Weekly 1-1 meetings, Slack
- Code as lab
- Incorporate code in mainline Fabric
Expected Outcome
- Hyperledger Lab demonstrating the feasibility
- Incorporating the code into mainline Fabric code
Relation to Hyperledger
Hyperledger Fabric
Education Level
Undergraduate or graduate
Skills
- Go, Docker
- Familiarity with Fabric (creating a network or starting a dev environment) is a plus
Future plans
Incorporate the project source code into Hyperledger Fabric
Preferred Hours and Length of Internship
40 hours during summer
