gRPC Client + BoltDB Crud Interface

This is an example gRPC client which makes CRUD requests (create, read, update, delete) for storing pointers at given paths in BoltDB.

The gRPC server at storj.io/storj/cmd/pointerdb/main.go needs to be running for this to work.

To run the client:

go run examples/pointerdb-client/main.go

You can change the port number with a flag if necessary: -port=<port-number>

Afterward, you can use Bolter or a similar BoltDB viewer to make sure your pointer entries were changed as expected.

If changes are made to storj.io/storj/protos/pointerdb/pointerdb.proto, the protobuf file will need to be regenerated by running go generate inside protos/pointerdb.

Tests for this example code can be found in storj.io/storj/pkg/pointerdb/client_test.go.
