How blocksci set the cluster updated when new block received with 'increasement' way?

[mengmengtech]

Does Blocksci cluster has the method for 'increasement' update?

---

• version: V0.6 & 0.5
• problem: create_clustering does not support 'increasement' update

• questions:

  • comparing blocksci_parser can create parser from latest blockheight
  • whether/how to set the cluster updated when new block received？
  • whether the clusterid changed for new clusterid? is it possible to merge together for "increament update"?

We called function via python like belows:

import blocksci
chain = blocksci.chain("bsci.conf") 
cm = blocksci.cluster.ClusterManager.create_clustering("cluster", chain)

from source code, the "Overwrite" mode does not update from latest cluster status，and seems only overwrite the path directly instead!

if (boost::filesystem::exists(path)) {
    boost::filesystem::remove(path);
}

Hopefuly can get your suggestion upon it. Thanks much!

Incremental cluster updates are not supported, though re-running the clusterer is fairly quick :) See #163 for some discussion of this
