2.4.0 Clickhouse Integration

Release 2.4.0

✨ Highlights since last release:

• Clickhouse Integration
• Experimental support for many new networks:
  • Bitcoin
  • Litecoin
  • Dogecoin
  • Bitcoin Cash
  • Portal
  • Waku

Clickhouse Integration

This release adds support for Clickhouse as a new database backend complementing the already existing JSON and Postgres storage backends. Clickhouse works great for analytical workloads which will make it the better choice for many use-cases than Postgres.

Bitcoin Support

Adding support for Bitcoin and derivative networks like Litecoin or Bitcoin Cash sets Nebula up to extends its capabilities beyond Kademlia-based DHT networks. These networks don’t use a DHT but Nebula can still crawl them. The support is still experimental but we saw promising results.
