node insight.js ... Aborted (core dumped) about insight-api

Here is the fix:
rm -r ../.insight/testnet/*

This could cause some down time on the livenet...

thanks for sharing.

Is there any way to handle leveldb updates better in such a way that this can't happen? I don't have experience with this but I read that updates are atomic. Should they have something like autocommit off and a commit added?

[matiu]

No sure why it happened in the first place, never saw that error. If you
could reproduce it and details the steps for reproduce it we could try to
solve it.

Are atomic updates the default? It was likely caused by a Ctrl+C while the initial block chain sync was occurring.

They should be in level db. Even in batch updates:

Thanks for the link. That is what I was looking at.

As I become familiar with the LevelDB API I will do a quick scan to see if any extra API calls are involved in making this work especially in regard to multiple level DB databases. That would perhaps save a lot of code like error detection and error correction code I am seeing. I'm sure you are probably doing just this.

Thanks for Insight! I'm enjoying the code. I'll let you know if I find anything.

awesome, thanks!
