            There is no endpoint that just lists partitioned state for all db's, however the /_dbs_info endpoint is close enough with a little processing.

            Here is a naïve script I spun up using nano and nodejs 10. The script displays database names, prefixed with an asterisk (*) if the database is partitioned.

            You can't. When the browser is closed (or the page existed) the JS environment goes away and all promises disappear. You need to take a different approach.

            A typical approach would be to store the data about the order in (for example) localStorage and then:

            • Delete it when the order is executed
            • Read it when the page is loaded and:
              • put pending orders back on the queue
              • handle out-of-date orders however you like (e.g. display an error or submit them late)

            When a Hyperledger Fabric smart contract calls getHistoryForKey it receive the updates for a particular key. I'm wondering where does this information come from? It's not stored in the world-view (levelDB, CouchDB) so it must be retrieved from the blockchain. Does the smart contract has access to blockchain? What am I missing?

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Jun-01 at 16:24

            There is a setting which enables the history database for peers. It is enabled by default and is a a physically separate database from world state.

            Each channel has it's own history database. The history database uses LevelDB (an embedded database) for storage.

            The history database stores key/txid/blocknum for each update. When you call GetHistoryForKey, it iterates through the history db and then retrieves the values from block storage.

            Users can't be authenticated for _session
            Asked 2021-May-21 at 13:28

            I'm facing a very odd problem that I can't use any user inside (_users) database to create a session through the route (/_session). It's always giving me error (bad credentials). It used to work fine in couchdb 1.6.1

            For normal couchdb adminstrators, it works fine :

            $ curl -X POST http://localhost:5984/_session -d 'name=my_main_admin&password=******'
            {"ok":true,"name":"my_main_admin","roles":["_admin"]}

            However for couchdb users (stored in _users), it doesn't work. I don't think it's about the roles.

            So I first create the user :

            $ curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT "http://my_main_admin:*****@127.0.0.1:5984/_node/_local/_users/org.couchdb.user:my_new_user" --data '{"name": "my_new_user", "password": "my_new_user", "roles": [], "type": "user"}'

            Then if I try to use this user to create a session, it never works :

            $ curl -X POST http://localhost:5984/_session -d 'name=my_new_user&password=my_new_user' {"error":"unauthorized","reason":"Name or password is incorrect."}

            Why do CouchDB views support compaction but mango indexes do not?
            Asked 2021-May-19 at 14:21

            As I was reading the CouchDB documentation I found it weird that views needed compaction while mango indexes did not. Are they not essentially the same thing and subject to the same requirement of cleaning out unused or old entries? It seems like an oversight to me.

            I suppose I just need some clarification on how the index trees are different between them.

            Thanks!

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-May-19 at 14:21

            One may in fact compact a mango index because every index created at the /db/_index endpoint1 has a "ddoc" (design doc) just like the design docs for map/reduce views.

            Quoting from the /db/_index documentation,

            Mango is a declarative JSON querying language for CouchDB databases. Mango wraps several index types, starting with the Primary Index out-of-the-box. Mango indexes, with index type json, are built using MapReduce Views.1

            Now look to the /db/_compact/design-doc2 endpoint's documentation*

            Compacts the view indexes associated with the specified design document. It may be that compacting a large view can return more storage than compacting the actual db. Thus, you can use this in place of the full database compaction if you know a specific set of view indexes have been affected by a recent database change.

            *Emphasis mine

            Since every "mango index" has a design-doc, it follows that any mango index may be compacted with the /db/_compact/design-doc endpoint.

            This may be verified easily with curl. Say there is a mango index with ddoc="foo-json-index-ddoc"in the "stack" database,

            I'm guessing you selected typescript as the language for your chaincode/contract, and it looks like it didn't transpile the typescript code to javascript. I would suspect there is a build option in the package.json, so try running npm run build in a vscode terminal in the directory your smart contract is stored (there should be a package.json file in that directory). If that fails because it can't find tsc then you need to run npm install first to install all the pre-reqs, then you should be able to run npm run build.

            Once your smart contract has transpiled successfully (there should be in index.js file in the dist directory which is what the error message you posted is complaining about) you should be able to package the chaincode/contract again and install it (you may need to change the version number of your new package before you try to install it again and that's the version field in your package.json file.

            How to draw a NoSQL database (document oriented) with UML?
            Asked 2021-May-14 at 11:19

            I'm beginner in the use of NoSQL and aim to build a uber-like database. Is it possible to draw a CouchDB database (document oriented) with UML and in particular, how to do joins? Or is there another alternative better suited for NoSQL database modeling?

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-May-14 at 11:14

            You can use UML class diagrams to model entities and aggregates of an application domain, regardless of the implementation technology. You can also model a more concrete implementation that uses a NoSQL database, and in particular document stores such as CouchDB. Objects are stored in the database are kind-of dehydrated (i.e. object data without their behavior) into a document.

            There are challenge that you will face:

            1. mapping between the document world and the object world: a document may contain several related objects (no joins needed), as well as links to other objects (see also embedded/nested document vs. document references).

            2. potentially unstructured (or loosely structured) documents: document databases are extremely flexible about the content of documents, and it is perfectly allowed to mix objects of completely unrelated classes into the same document collection. Moreover, the fields/properties/members of a document may be dynamic and evolve. In practice however, collections often contain similar objects that will vary mainly regarding the fields (for example to acknowledge existence of implicit classes). Documents may even be validated according to a schema to ensure consistency if needed.

            3. UML classes are based on strong typing, whereas types in documents are as flexible as the rest of their content (e.g. a field from could be a date 2000-04-02 in one document or a string "a long time ago" in another one).

            So before you start, you need to think of the mapping strategy. My advice would be to focus in UML on the design of your object model, and think of documents as a convenient grouping of related ones (DDD aggregates may help in this regard). The following rule of thumb may help for the modeling:

            • joins (e.g. links between independent documents) will be represented by associations.
            • systematic grouping of objects with other, may suggest existence of some kind of stronger relation such as UML composition.
            • fields that vary from document to document would be represented either with optional properties (multiplicity 0..1 or 0..*) or generalisation/specialization of the enclosing object, depending on the logic that explains the variation.

            Vulnerabilities

            CVE-2020-1955 CRITICAL
            CouchDB version 3.0.0 shipped with a new configuration setting that governs access control to the entire database server called `require_valid_user_except_for_up`. It was meant as an extension to the long standing setting `require_valid_user`, which in turn requires that any and all requests to CouchDB will have to be made with valid credentials, effectively forbidding any anonymous requests. The new `require_valid_user_except_for_up` is an off-by-default setting that was meant to allow requiring valid credentials for all endpoints except for the `/_up` endpoint. However, the implementation of this made an error that lead to not enforcing credentials on any endpoint, when enabled. CouchDB versions 3.0.1[1] and 3.1.0[2] fix this issue.
            Due to differences in the Erlang-based JSON parser and JavaScript-based JSON parser, it is possible in Apache CouchDB before 1.7.0 and 2.x before 2.1.1 to submit _users documents with duplicate keys for 'roles' used for access control within the database, including the special case '_admin' role, that denotes administrative users. In combination with CVE-2017-12636 (Remote Code Execution), this can be used to give non-admin users access to arbitrary shell commands on the server as the database system user. The JSON parser differences result in behaviour that if two 'roles' keys are available in the JSON, the second one will be used for authorising the document write, but the first 'roles' key is used for subsequent authorization for the newly created user. By design, users can not assign themselves roles. The vulnerability allows non-admin users to give themselves admin privileges.
            CouchDB administrative users before 2.2.0 can configure the database server via HTTP(S). Due to insufficient validation of administrator-supplied configuration settings via the HTTP API, it is possible for a CouchDB administrator user to escalate their privileges to that of the operating system's user under which CouchDB runs, by bypassing the blacklist of configuration settings that are not allowed to be modified via the HTTP API. This privilege escalation effectively allows a CouchDB admin user to gain arbitrary remote code execution, bypassing CVE-2017-12636 and CVE-2018-8007.
            Prior to CouchDB version 2.3.0, CouchDB allowed for runtime-configuration of key components of the database. In some cases, this lead to vulnerabilities where CouchDB admin users could access the underlying operating system as the CouchDB user. Together with other vulnerabilities, it allowed full system entry for unauthenticated users. Rather than waiting for new vulnerabilities to be discovered, and fixing them as they come up, the CouchDB development team decided to make changes to avoid this entire class of vulnerabilities.
            Apache CouchDB administrative users can configure the database server via HTTP(S). Due to insufficient validation of administrator-supplied configuration settings via the HTTP API, it is possible for a CouchDB administrator user to escalate their privileges to that of the operating system's user that CouchDB runs under, by bypassing the blacklist of configuration settings that are not allowed to be modified via the HTTP API. This privilege escalation effectively allows an existing CouchDB admin user to gain arbitrary remote code execution, bypassing already disclosed CVE-2017-12636. Mitigation: All users should upgrade to CouchDB releases 1.7.2 or 2.1.2.
            CouchDB administrative users can configure the database server via HTTP(S). Some of the configuration options include paths for operating system-level binaries that are subsequently launched by CouchDB. This allows an admin user in Apache CouchDB before 1.7.0 and 2.x before 2.1.1 to execute arbitrary shell commands as the CouchDB user, including downloading and executing scripts from the public internet.
            CouchDB in Vectra Networks Cognito Brain and Sensor before 4.3 contains a local code execution vulnerability.
            Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Apache CouchDB 0.8.0 through 0.11.0 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for direct requests to an installation URL.
            The Windows installer that the Apache CouchDB team provides was vulnerable to local privilege escalation. All files in the install inherit the file permissions of the parent directory and therefore a non-privileged user can substitute any executable for the nssm.exe service launcher, or CouchDB batch or binary files. A subsequent service or server restart will then run that binary with administrator privilege. This issue affected CouchDB 2.0.0 (Windows platform only) and was addressed in CouchDB 2.0.0.1.
            Directory traversal vulnerability in the partition2 function in mochiweb_util.erl in MochiWeb before 2.4.0, as used in Apache CouchDB before 1.0.4, 1.1.x before 1.1.2, and 1.2.x before 1.2.1, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a ..\ (dot dot backslash) in the default URI.
            Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Futon UI in Apache CouchDB before 1.0.4, 1.1.x before 1.1.2, and 1.2.x before 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified parameters to the browser-based test suite.
