Why This is the first PR in the broader `mptoken_issuance_history` plan. It lands the additive schema/backend layer first so later PRs can safely add live ETL indexing, historical backfill, and finally the RPC handler gated on backfill completion. Keeping this step dark avoids exposing partial history while still making the stack reviewable in small pieces. Summary Adds the storage and backend primitives for MPT transaction-history filtering. - Adds Cassandra tables: - mpt_transactions - account_mpt_transactions - Adds MPTTransactionsData and backend interface methods for writing/fetching both MPT index shapes. Implements Cassandra write/fetch paths with forward/reverse pagination, raw-page cursor behavior, and case-insensitive tx_type filtering before transaction hydration. - Adds MockBackend coverage for the new pure-virtual methods. - Adds Cassandra integration tests for round-trip behavior, ordering, pagination, missing transaction blobs, sparse tx_type filtering, account fanout, and account-side filtering.
Clio
Clio is an XRP Ledger API server optimized for RPC calls over WebSocket or JSON-RPC. It stores validated historical ledger and transaction data in a more space efficient format, and uses up to 4 times less space than rippled.
Clio can be configured to store data in Apache Cassandra or ScyllaDB, enabling scalable read throughput. Multiple Clio nodes can share access to the same dataset, which allows for a highly available cluster of Clio nodes without the need for redundant data storage or computation.
📡 Clio and rippled
Clio offers the full rippled API, with the caveat that Clio by default only returns validated data. This means that ledger_index defaults to validated instead of current for all requests. Other non-validated data, such as information about queued transactions, is also not returned.
Clio retrieves data from a designated group of rippled nodes instead of connecting to the peer-to-peer network.
For requests that require access to the peer-to-peer network, such as fee or submit, Clio automatically forwards the request to a rippled node and propagates the response back to the client. To access non-validated data for any request, simply add ledger_index: "current" to the request, and Clio will forward the request to rippled.
Note
Clio requires access to at least one
ripplednode, which can run on the same machine as Clio or separately.
