List of Tasks

1. ActorCodesTask

• Invocation: ./main --cmd=actorcodes
• Indexes all actors (till a particular epoch) in the network and their corresponding actor code, stores them in the json file ACTOR_CODES_JSON
• The epoch till which actor codes have been indexed is stored in the file ACS_PARSEDTILL

2. MinersTask

• Invocation: ./main --cmd=miners
• Indexes miner info (and funds) at EPOCH or (latest tipset - 900)
• Overwrites the values in the db forever
• If ACTIVE_MINERS_ONLY is 1 then just the miners specified in ACTIVE_MINERS will be indexed; else all miners in the network will be indexed

3. BlocksTask

• Invocation: ./main --cmd=blocks
• Indexes all the block_headers from epoch TO through FROM (backward)

4. MessagesTask

• Invocation: ./main --cmd=messages
• Indexes all transactions
  • from epoch TO through FROM (backward) if FOREVER!=1
  • from epoch FROM to ACS_PARSEDTILL (forward) if FOREVER=1. In this case the process runs forever since the ACS_PARSEDTILL value keeps increasing.
• During the transactions indexing process, all the changes in owner/worker/control addresses are parsed and written to ADDR_CHANGES

5. MarketsTask

• Invocation: ./main --cmd=markets
• Fetches all ongoing market deals at EPOCH or (latest tipset - 900) and inserts them to the db
