FAQPage Schema
How does the Stellar Core catchup subsystem handle ledger synchronization?▼

The Stellar Core catchup subsystem handles ledger synchronization by utilizing specific control flows and invariant checks to maintain ledger state integrity during both online and offline network synchronization.

What is the threading model used by Stellar Core during network catchup?▼

The threading model in Stellar Core catchup defines ownership relationships and component interactions, ensuring safe concurrent access and invariant checks crucial for maintaining ledger state integrity during synchronization.

What is the difference between online and offline catchup in distributed systems?▼

Online catchup allows a Stellar Core node to synchronize ledgers while running, whereas offline catchup processes historical ledger data independently, with both utilizing distinct control flows and invariant checks.

How do I quickly understand the architecture of the Stellar Core consensus protocol catchup?▼

You can review a token-efficient technical summary detailing the catchup subsystem's key classes, data structures, and data flow diagrams to quickly grasp the architecture without reading the entire codebase.

What invariants are checked during Stellar Core ledger synchronization?▼

Invariant checks during Stellar Core ledger synchronization validate ownership relationships and threading models, ensuring that data structures remain consistent and ledger state integrity is maintained throughout the catchup process.
