near-lake-framework

NEAR Lake Framework is a small library companion to NEAR Lake. It allows you to build your own indexer that subscribes to the stream of blocks from the NEAR Lake data source and create your own logic to process the NEAR Protocol data.

Official NEAR Lake Framework launch announcement has been published on the NEAR Gov Forum Greetings from the Data Platform Team! We are happy and proud to announce an MVP release of a brand new word in indexer building approach - NEAR Lake Framework.

Example

```rust use futures::StreamExt; use nearlakeframework::LakeConfig;

[tokio::main]

async fn main() -> Result<(), tokio::io::Error> { // create a NEAR Lake Framework config let config = LakeConfig { s3bucketname: "near-lake-testnet".tostring(), // AWS S3 bucket name s3regionname: "eu-central-1".tostring(), // AWS S3 bucket region startblockheight: 82422587, // the latest block height we've got from explorer.near.org for testnet };

// instantiate the NEAR Lake Framework Stream
let stream = near_lake_framework::streamer(config);

// read the stream events and pass them to a handler function with
// concurrency 1
let mut handlers = tokio_stream::wrappers::ReceiverStream::new(stream)
    .map(|streamer_message| handle_streamer_message(streamer_message))
    .buffer_unordered(1usize);

while let Some(_handle_message) = handlers.next().await {}

Ok(())

}

// The handler function to take the entire StreamerMessage // and print the block height and number of shards async fn handlestreamermessage( streamermessage: nearlakeframework::nearindexerprimitives::StreamerMessage, ) { eprintln!( "{} / shards {}", streamermessage.block.header.height, streamer_message.shards.len() ); } ```

How to use

Custom S3 storage

In case you want to run your own near-lake instance and store data in some S3 compatible storage (Minio or Localstack as example) You can owerride default S3 API endpoint by using s3_endpoint option

bash $ mkdir -p /data/near-lake-custom && minio server /data

bash let config = LakeConfig { s3_endpoint: "http://0.0.0.0:9000".to_string(), // AWS S3 custom API endpoint s3_bucket_name: "near-lake-custom".to_string(), // AWS S3 bucket name s3_region_name: "eu-central-1".to_string(), // AWS S3 bucket region start_block_height: 1, // the latest block height };

AWS S3 Credentials

In order to be able to get objects from the AWS S3 bucket you need to provide the AWS credentials.

AWS default profile configuration with aws configure looks similar to the following:

~/.aws/credentials [default] aws_access_key_id=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE aws_secret_access_key=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

Dependencies

Add the following dependencies to your Cargo.toml

```toml ... [dependencies] futures = "0.3.5" itertools = "0.10.3" tokio = { version = "1.1", features = ["sync", "time", "macros", "rt-multi-thread"] } tokio-stream = { version = "0.1" }

NEAR Lake Framework

near-lake-framework = { git = "https://github.com/near/near-lake-framework" } ```

Configuration

Everything should be configured before the start of your indexer application via LakeConfig struct.

Cost estimates

TL;DR approximately $18.15 per month (for AWS S3 access, paid directly to AWS) for the reading of fresh blocks

Explanation:

Assuming NEAR Protocol produces accurately 1 block per second (which is really not, the average block production time is 1.3s). A full day consists of 86400 seconds, that's the max number of blocks that can be produced.

According the Amazon S3 prices list requests are charged for $0.005 per 1000 requests and get is charged for $0.0004 per 1000 requests.

Calculations (assuming we are following the tip of the network all the time):

86400 blocks per day * 5 requests for each block / 1000 requests * $0.0004 per 1k requests = $0.173 * 30 days = $5.19 Note: 5 requests for each block means we have 4 shards (1 file for common block data and 4 separate files for each shard)

And a number of list requests we need to perform for 30 days:

``` 86400 blocks per day / 1000 requests * $0.005 per 1k list requests = $0.432 * 30 days = $12.96

$5.19 + $12.96 = $18.15 ```

The price depends on the number of shards
