After the transaction that contains the delState("A") function is committed, what happens to the ledger and state database?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In Hyperledger Fabric, when a transaction that includes the delState('A') function is committed, it results in the removal of the state of the key 'A' from the current state database. However, the history of all transactions that have affected the key 'A' remains intact in the ledger. This operation ensures that while the current state reflects the deletion, the immutability and traceability of the ledger are preserved, allowing for auditability and verification of past states. Options such as setting an empty value to the key or altering the transaction history are not supported, as they would violate the principles of immutability and transparency central to blockchain technology. Therefore, the correct outcome of a delState('A') operation is that the current state of 'A' is deleted, but its transaction history remains accessible in the ledger.

A is definitely not right, getstate won't show deleted keys.

I definitely recall that the ledger keeps a history of transactions, so I think option C is the best choice here.

I’m a bit confused about whether the write set gets an empty value or if it just removes the key entirely. I might lean towards option B, but I’m not certain.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think option C sounds right because the history should remain even if the state is deleted.

I think when delState("A") is called, it removes the state from the database, but I’m not sure if the history is kept in the ledger.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C. The state of 'A' is deleted from the state database, but the transaction history is still preserved in the ledger.

Okay, I've got this. The state of 'A' is removed from the state database, but the history of updates to 'A' remains in the ledger. That's the key distinction here.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between the ledger and the state database. I'll need to review those concepts before I can confidently answer this.

This is a tricky one, but I think the key is understanding how the state database and ledger work together. I'll need to carefully consider the implications of deleting a state.

Hold on, are we sure the ledger is not just a fancy name for the state database? I'm going with option D just to be safe.
