Add transaction indexing flag to rpc
dimiandre opened this issue · comments
It's very annoying when RPC doesn't have transaction indexing enabled, would be useful to know which RPC endpoints provide it and which not
Would also be cool to have a proxy only for indexing-enabled ones with cosmos.directory
(node:20819) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: {"code":-32603,"message":"Internal error","data":"transaction indexing is disabled"}
I'm going to add a feature to cosmos.directory very soon that will monitor whether nodes have indexing enabled, and provide this data via the status.cosmos.directory endpoints.
I also plan to accept a header for the proxies to ensure the request is sent to an indexed node, something like x-cosmos-index-enabled
so it's inline with the similar x-cosmos-block-height
header that the SDK REST API already accepts. Any suggestions for naming this header would be helpful, like if we should avoid the x-cosmos
namespace for example.
I plan to have this implemented in January if at all possible, will post here with any updates.
Would a simple "indexing" boolean be clear and sufficient?:
...
"endpoint": {
"type": "object",
"required": [
"address"
],
"properties": {
"address": {
"type": "string"
},
"provider": {
"type": "string"
},
"archive": {
"type": "boolean",
"default": false
},
"indexing": {
"type": "boolean",
"default": false
}
}
},
...
or do we need more, like transaction_indexing
?
