Project TitleExtend HL Iroha (version 1.x) queries with optional arguments to add possibility of fetching data in time range
Status

COMPLETED

Difficulty

MEDIUM  

Description 

Hyperledger Iroha has implemented set of commands and queries. In the internship's project for few Iroha's queries (GetAccountTransactions and GetAccountAssetTransactions and optionally GetPendingTransactions) should be added optional arguments e.g.: from and to to return transactions in the provided time range or in provided blocks range.

Problem description

Fetching transactions in Iroha can be from first account's transaction or from provided transaction hash. On the other bound transactions are limited by max number of transactions to fetch. So when it is necessarily to fetch transactions for a month: hash of first transaction needs to be stored in blockchain and number of transactions should be "guessed" -if too big it would take longer, if too small another query would be necessarily). It also requires few queries instead of one.

Additional Information

Learning Objectives

The mentee will be able to learn:

  • architecture of Iroha (1.x),
  • work in true spirit of open-source, communicating with Iroha community, joining calls,
  • writing documentation,
  • following rules of open-source code of Hyperledger Iroha,
  • creating automatic tests of code,

Expected Outcome

Implementation according to description and plan of documentation and tests. Added possibility of running modified queries from iroha-python library.

Relation to Hyperledger 

Hyperledger Iroha (documentation, chat, wiki)

Internship project which was adding extra command and queries in 2020: Making HL Iroha Data Model Modular for Interoperability with Other Projects

Education Level

Preferred undergraduate.

Skills

  • Reading English documentation
  • C++ advanced
  • depending on database software when the internship starts: ability to use SQL and PostgreSQL or ability to use RocketDB
  • basic knowledge of Protobuf
  • Python (optionally)

Future plans

After project completion more commands and queries to Iroha will be added.

Preferred Hours and Length of Internship

No preference (just do your job good before 15th August according to project plan and report to mentors every week progress and report progress during bi-weekly Iroha Community meeting).
