Stream management
A stream is a mechanism used to provide data storage in the MultiChain blockchain. It acts as a convenient way to store and retrieve data in key-value pairs. Multiple items can be published to a single data stream. A node has to subscribe to a stream before performing operations on it. Stream items could be indexed by key, signature, and block number, to name just a few.
