Description

Description

The graph node config file currently only supports a single block ingestor like so

[chains]
ingestor = "block_ingestor_node"

It would be great if we could configure different nodes to ingest different chains, for example have one node ingest mainnet(s) and another ingest testnet(s). One idea would be to use the same rule logic for assigning deployments to indexers.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the graph node config file parses the [chains] ingestor setting, then inspect the existing rule logic for assigning deployments to indexers. Determine how multiple ingestor nodes could be configured for different chains, and define completion as separate nodes successfully ingesting their assigned mainnet or testnet chains without disrupting current single-ingestor configurations.
