Mahuta

Mahuta (formerly known as IPFS-Store) is a library to aggregate and consolidate files or documents stored by your application on the IPFS network. It provides a solution to collect, store, index, cache and search IPFS data handled by your system in a convenient way.

Features

  • Indexation: Mahuta stores documents or files on IPFS and index the hash with optional metadata.
  • Discovery: Documents and files indexed can be searched using complex logical queries or fuzzy/full text search)
  • Scalable: Optimised for large scale applications using asynchronous writing mechanism and caching
  • Replication: Replica set can be configured to replicate (pin) content across multiple nodes (standard IPFS node or IPFS-cluster node)
  • Multi-platform: Mahuta can be used as a simple embedded Java library for your JVM-based application or run as a simple, scalable and configurable Rest API.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Mahuta depends of two components:

  • an IPFS node (go or js implementation)
  • a search engine (currently only ElasticSearch is supported)

See how to run those two components first run IPFS and ElasticSearch

Java library

  1. Import the Maven dependencies (core module + indexer)
<repository>
    <id>consensys-kauri</id>
    <name>consensys-kauri</name>
    <url>https://consensys.bintray.com/kauri/</url>
</repository>
<dependency>
    <groupId>net.consensys.mahuta</groupId>
    <artifactId>mahuta-core</artifactId>
    <version>${MAHUTA_VERSION}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>net.consensys.mahuta</groupId>
    <artifactId>mahuta-indexing-elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>${MAHUTA_VERSION}</version>
</dependency>
  1. Configure Mahuta to connect to an IPFS node and an indexer
Mahuta mahuta = new MahutaFactory()
    .configureStorage(IPFSService.connect("localhost", 5001))
    .configureIndexer(ElasticSearchService.connect("localhost", 9300, "cluster-name"))
    .defaultImplementation();
  1. Execute high-level operations
IndexingResponse response = mahuta.prepareStringIndexing("article", "## This is my first article")
    .contentType("text/markdown")
    .indexDocId("article-1")
    .indexFields(ImmutableMap.of("title", "First Article", "author", "greg"))
    .execute();
    
GetResponse response = mahuta.prepareGet()
    .indexName("article")
    .indexDocId("article-1")
    .loadFile(true)
    .execute();
    
SearchResponse response = mahuta.prepareSearch()
    .indexName("article")
    .query(Query.newQuery().equals("author", "greg"))
    .pageRequest(PageRequest.of(0, 20))
    .execute();

Spring-Data

  1. Import the Maven dependencies
<dependency>
    <groupId>net.consensys.mahuta</groupId>
    <artifactId>mahuta-springdata</artifactId>
    <version>${MAHUTA_VERSION}</version>
</dependency>
  1. Configure your spring-data repository
@IPFSDocument(index = "article", indexConfiguration = "article_mapping.json", indexContent = true)
public class Article {
    
    @Id
    private String id;

    @Hash
    private String hash;

    @Fulltext
    private String title;

    @Fulltext
    private String content;

    @Indexfield
    private Date createdAt;

    @Indexfield
    private String createdBy;
}



public class ArticleRepository extends MahutaRepositoryImpl<Article, String> {

    public ArticleRepository(Mahuta mahuta) {
        super(mahuta);
    }
}
