container/service.proto

Service "neo.fs.v2.container.ContainerService"

ContainerService provides API to interact with Container smart contract in FrostFS sidechain via other FrostFS nodes. All of those actions can be done equivalently by directly issuing transactions and RPC calls to sidechain nodes.

rpc Put(PutRequest) returns (PutResponse);
rpc Delete(DeleteRequest) returns (DeleteResponse);
rpc Get(GetRequest) returns (GetResponse);
rpc List(ListRequest) returns (ListResponse);

Method Put

Put invokes Container smart contract's Put method and returns response immediately. After a new block is issued in sidechain, request is verified by Inner Ring nodes. After one more block in sidechain, the container is added into smart contract storage.

Statuses:

• OK (0, SECTION_SUCCESS):
  request to save the container has been sent to the sidechain;
• Common failures (SECTION_FAILURE_COMMON);
• CONTAINER_ACCESS_DENIED (3074, SECTION_CONTAINER):
  container create access denied.

Name	Input	Output
Put	PutRequest	PutResponse

Method Delete

Delete invokes Container smart contract's Delete method and returns response immediately. After a new block is issued in sidechain, request is verified by Inner Ring nodes. After one more block in sidechain, the container is added into smart contract storage.

Statuses:

• OK (0, SECTION_SUCCESS):
  request to remove the container has been sent to the sidechain;
• Common failures (SECTION_FAILURE_COMMON);
• CONTAINER_ACCESS_DENIED (3074, SECTION_CONTAINER):
  container delete access denied.

Name	Input	Output
Delete	DeleteRequest	DeleteResponse

Method Get

Returns container structure from Container smart contract storage.

Statuses:

• OK (0, SECTION_SUCCESS):
  container has been successfully read;
• Common failures (SECTION_FAILURE_COMMON);
• CONTAINER_NOT_FOUND (3072, SECTION_CONTAINER):
  requested container not found;
• CONTAINER_ACCESS_DENIED (3074, SECTION_CONTAINER):
  access to container is denied.

Name	Input	Output
Get	GetRequest	GetResponse

Method List

Returns all owner's containers from 'Container` smart contract' storage.

Statuses:

• OK (0, SECTION_SUCCESS):
  container list has been successfully read;
• Common failures (SECTION_FAILURE_COMMON);
• CONTAINER_ACCESS_DENIED (3074, SECTION_CONTAINER):
  container list access denied.

Name	Input	Output

Message PutRequest.Body

Container creation request has container structure's signature as a separate field. It's not stored in sidechain, just verified on container creation by Container smart contract. ContainerID is a SHA256 hash of the stable-marshalled container strucutre, hence there is no need for additional signature checks.

container/types.proto

Message Container

Container is a structure that defines object placement behaviour. Objects can be stored only within containers. They define placement rule, attributes and access control information. An ID of a container is a 32 byte long SHA256 hash of stable-marshalled container message.

Field	Type	Label	Description
version	neo.fs.v2.refs.Version		Container format version. Effectively, the version of API library used to create the container.
owner_id	neo.fs.v2.refs.OwnerID		Identifier of the container owner
nonce	bytes		Nonce is a 16 byte UUIDv4, used to avoid collisions of ContainerIDs
basic_acl	uint32		BasicACL contains access control rules for the owner, system and others groups, as well as permission bits for BearerToken and Extended ACL
attributes	Container.Attribute	repeated	Attributes represent immutable container's meta data
placement_policy	neo.fs.v2.netmap.PlacementPolicy		Placement policy for the object inside the container

Message Container.Attribute

Attribute is a user-defined Key-Value metadata pair attached to the container. Container attributes are immutable. They are set at the moment of container creation and can never be added or updated.

Key name must be a container-unique valid UTF-8 string. Value can't be empty. Containers with duplicated attribute names or attributes with empty values will be considered invalid.

There are some "well-known" attributes affecting system behaviour:

• [ __SYSTEM__NAME ]
  (__NEOFS__NAME is deprecated)
  String of a human-friendly container name registered as a domain in NNS contract.
• [ __SYSTEM__ZONE ]
  (__NEOFS__ZONE is deprecated)
  String of a zone for __SYSTEM__NAME (__NEOFS__NAME is deprecated). Used as a TLD of a domain name in NNS contract. If no zone is specified, use default zone: container.
• [ __SYSTEM__DISABLE_HOMOMORPHIC_HASHING ]
  (__NEOFS__DISABLE_HOMOMORPHIC_HASHING is deprecated)
  Disables homomorphic hashing for the container if the value equals "true" string. Any other values are interpreted as missing attribute. Container could be accepted in a FrostFS network only if the global network hashing configuration value corresponds with that attribute's value. After container inclusion, network setting is ignored.

And some well-known attributes used by applications only:

• Name
  Human-friendly name
• Timestamp
  User-defined local time of container creation in Unix Timestamp format
