* Enable test_txpool by disabling failing cases
Because we cannot use goerli replay to feed the txpool anymore,
we use only a list of transactions.
But some test cases still failing because it requires block state
replay.
* Fix tx info
* Normalised storage tree addressing in function prototypes
detail:
Argument list is always `<db> <account-path> <slot-path> ..` with
both path arguments as `openArray[]`
* Remove cruft
* CoreDb internally Use full account paths rather than addresses
* Update API logging
* Use hashed account address only in prototypes
why:
This avoids unnecessary repeated hashing of the same account address.
The burden of doing that is upon the application. In the case here,
the ledger caches all kinds of stuff anyway so it is common sense to
exploit that for account address hashes.
caveat:
Using `openArray[byte]` argument types for hashed accounts is inherently
fragile. In non-release mode, a length verification `doAssert` is
enabled by default.
* No accPath in data record (use `AristoAccount` as `CoreDbAccount`)
* Remove now unused `eAddr` field from ledger `AccountRef` type
why:
Is duplicate of lookup key
* Avoid merging the account record/statement in the ledger twice.
* Tighten `CoreDb` API for accounts
why:
Apart from cruft, the way to fetch the accounts state root via a
`CoreDbColRef` record was unnecessarily complicated.
* Extend `CoreDb` API for accounts to cover storage tries
why:
In future, this will make the notion of column objects obsolete. Storage
trees will then be indexed by the account address rather than the vertex
ID equivalent like a `CoreDbColRef`.
* Apply new/extended accounts API to ledger and tests
details:
This makes the `distinct_ledger` module obsolete
* Remove column object constructors
why:
They were needed as an abstraction of MPT sub-trees including storage
trees. Now, storage trees are handled by the account (e.g. via address)
they belong to and all other trees can be identified by a constant well
known vertex ID. So there is no need for column objects anymore.
Still there are some left-over column object methods wnich will be
removed next.
* Remove `serialise()` and `PayloadRef` from default Aristo API
why:
Not needed. `PayloadRef` was used for unstructured/unknown payload
formats (account or blob) and `serialise()` was used for decodng
`PayloadRef`. Now it is known in advance what the payload looks
like.
* Added query function `hasStorageData()` whether a storage area exists
why:
Useful for supporting `slotStateEmpty()` of the `CoreDb` API
* In the `Ledger` replace `storage.stateEmpty()` by `slotStateEmpty()`
* On Aristo, hide the storage root/vertex ID in the `PayloadRef`
why:
The storage vertex ID is fully controlled by Aristo while the
`AristoAccount` object is controlled by the application. With the
storage root part of the `AristoAccount` object, there was a useless
administrative burden to keep that storage root field up to date.
* Remove cruft, update comments etc.
* Update changed MPT access paradigms
why:
Fixes verified proxy tests
* Fluffy cosmetics
* ForkedChain implementation
- revamp test_blockchain_json using ForkedChain
- re-enable previously failing test cases.
* Remove excess error handling
* Avoid reloading parent header
* Do not force base update
* Write baggage to database
* Add findActiveChain to finalizedSegment
* Create new stagingTx in addBlock
* Check last stateRoot existence in test_blockchain_json
* Resolve rebase conflict
* More precise nomenclature for block import cursor
* Ensure bad block nor imported and good block not rejected
* finalizeSegment become forkChoice and align with engine API forkChoice spec
* Display reason when good block rejected
* Fix comments
* Put BaseDistance into CalculateNewBase equation
* Separate finalizedHash from baseHash
* Add more doAssert constraint
* Add push raises: []
It is common for many accounts to share the same code - at the database
level, code is stored by hash meaning only one copy exists per unique
program but when loaded in memory, a copy is made for each account.
Further, every time we execute the code, it must be scanned for invalid
jump destinations which slows down EVM exeuction.
Finally, the extcodesize call causes code to be loaded even if only the
size is needed.
This PR improves on all these points by introducing a shared
CodeBytesRef type whose code section is immutable and that can be shared
between accounts. Further, a dedicated `len` API call is added so that
the EXTCODESIZE opcode can operate without polluting the GC and code
cache, for cases where only the size is requested - rocksdb will in this
case cache the code itself in the row cache meaning that lookup of the
code itself remains fast when length is asked for first.
With 16k code entries, there's a 90% hit rate which goes up to 99%
during the 2.3M attack - the cache significantly lowers memory
consumption and execution time not only during this event but across the
board.
For the block cache to be shared between column families, the options
instance must be shared between the various column families being
created. This also ensures that there is only one source of truth for
configuration options instead of having two different sets depending on
how the tables were initialized.
This PR also removes the re-opening mechanism which can double startup
time - every time the database is opened, the log is replayed - a large
log file will take a long time to open.
Finally, several options got correclty implemented as column family
options, including an one that puts a hash index in the SST files.
* Provide dedicated functions for deleteing accounts and storage trees
why:
Storage trees are always linked to an account, so there is no need
for an application to fiddle about (e.g. re-cycling, unlinking)
storage tree vertex IDs.
* Remove `delete()` and other cruft from API, `aristo_delete`, etc.
* clean up delete functions
details:
The delete implementations `deleteImpl()` and `delTreeImpl()` do not
need to be super generic anymore as all the edge cases are covered by
the specialised `deleteAccountPayload()`, `deleteGenericData()`, etc.
* Avoid unnecessary re-calculations of account keys
why:
The function `registerAccountForUpdate()` did extract the storage ID
(if any) and automatically marked the Merkle keys along the account
path for re-hashing.
This would also apply if there was later detected that the account
or the storage tree did not need to be updated.
So the `registerAccountForUpdate()` function was split into a part
which retrieved the storage ID, and another one which marked the
Merkle keys for re-calculation to be applied only when needed.
* Remove unused `merge*()` functions (for production)
details:
Some functionality moved to test suite
* Make sure that only `AccountData` leaf type is exactly used on VertexID(1)
* clean up payload type
* Provide dedicated functions for merging accounts and storage trees
why:
Storage trees are always linked to an account, so there is no need
for an application to fiddle about (e.e. creating, re-cycling) with
storage tree vertex IDs.
* CoreDb: Disable tracer functionality
why:
Must be updated to accommodate new/changed `Aristo` functions.
* CoreDb: Use new `mergeXXX()` functions
why:
Makes explicit vertex ID management obsolete for creating new
storage trees.
* Remove `mergePayload()` and other cruft from API, `aristo_merge`, etc.
* clean up merge functions
details:
The merge implementation `mergePayloadImpl()` does not need to be super
generic anymore as all the edge cases are covered by the specialised
functions `mergeAccountPayload()`, `mergeGenericData()`, and
`mergeStorageData()`.
* No tracer available at the moment, so disable offending tests
The module name is a misnomer, because AccountsCache have been
replaced by LedgerRef. But the test still applicable.
Instead of replaying unsupported goerli blocks,
we generate our own transactions and block.
* Remove AccountStateDB
AccountStateDB should no longer be used.
It's usage have been reduce to read only operations.
Replace it with LedgerRef to reduce maintenance burden.
* remove extra spaces

* bump rockdb
* Rename `KVT` objects related to filters according to `Aristo` naming
details:
filter* => delta*
roFilter => balancer
* Compulsory error handling if `persistent()` fails
* Add return code to `reCentre()`
why:
Might eventually fail if re-centring is blocked. Some logic will be
added in subsequent patch sets.
* Add column families from earlier session to rocksdb in opening procedure
why:
All previously used CFs must be declared when re-opening an existing
database.
* Update `init()` and add rocksdb `reinit()` methods for changing parameters
why:
Opening a set column families (with different open options) must span
at least the ones that are already on disk.
* Provide write-trigger-event interface into `Aristo` backend
why:
This allows to save data from a guest application (think `KVT`) to
get synced with the write cycle so the guest and `Aristo` save all
atomically.
* Use `KVT` with new column family interface from `Aristo`
* Remove obsolete guest interface
* Implement `KVT` piggyback on `Aristo` backend
* CoreDb: Add separate `KVT`/`Aristo` backend mode for debugging
* Remove `rocks_db` import from `persist()` function
why:
Some systems (i.p `fluffy` and friends) use the `Aristo` memory
backend emulation and do not link against rocksdb when building the
application. So this should fix that problem.
* Use RocksDb column families instead of a prefixed single column
why:
Better performance
* Use structural objects `VertexRef` and `HashKey` in LRU cache for RocksDb
why:
Avoids repeated de/serialisation
`initTable` is obsolete since nim 0.19 and can introduce significant
memory overhead while providing no benefit (since the table will be
grown to the default initial size on first use anyway).
In particular, aristo layers will not necessarily use all tables they
initialize, for exampe when many empty accounts are being created.
This PR consolidates the split header-body sequences into a single EthBlock
sequence and cleans up the fallout from that which significantly reduces
block processing overhead during import thanks to less garbage collection
and fewer copies of things all around.
Notably, since the number of headers must always match the number of bodies,
we also get rid of a pointless degree of freedom that in the future could
introduce unnecessary bugs.
* only read header and body from era file
* avoid several unnecessary copies along the block processing way
* simplify signatures, cleaning up unused arguemnts and returns
* use `stew/assign2` in a few strategic places where the generated
nim assignent is slow and add a few `move` to work around poor
analysis in nim 1.6 (will need to be revisited for 2.0)

These options are there mainly to drive experiments, and are therefore
hidden.
One thing that this PR brings in is an initial set of caches and buffers for rocksdb - the set that I've been using during various performance tests to get to a viable baseline performance level.
* Remove all journal related stuff
* Refactor function names journal*() => delta*(), filter*() => delta*()
* remove `trg` fileld from `FilterRef`
why:
Same as `kMap[$1]`
* Re-type FilterRef.src as `HashKey`
why:
So it is directly comparable to `kMap[$1]`
* Moved `vGen[]` field from `LayerFinalRef` to `LayerDeltaRef`
why:
Then a separate `FilterRef` type is not needed, anymore
* Rename `roFilter` field in `AristoDbRef` => `balancer`
why:
New name more appropriate.
* Replace `FilterRef` by `LayerDeltaRef` type
why:
This allows to avoid copying into the `balancer` (see next patch set)
most of the time. Typically, only one instance is running on the backend
and the `balancer` is only used as a stage before saving data.
* Refactor way how to store data persistently
why:
Avoid useless copy when staging `top` layer for persistently saving to
backend.
* Fix copyright header?
`persist` is a hotspot when processing blocks because it is run at least
once per transaction and loops over the entire account cache every time.
Here, we introduce an extra `dirty` map that keeps track of all accounts
that need checking during `persist` which fixes the immediate
inefficiency, though probably this could benefit from a more thorough
review - we also get rid of the unused clearCache flag - we start with
a fresh cache on every fresh vmState.
* avoid unnecessary code hash comparisons
* avoid unnecessary copies when iterating
* use EMPTY_CODE_HASH throughout for code hash comparison
* Add persistent last state stamp feature
why:
This allows to run `CoreDb` without journal
* Start `CoreDb` without journal
* Remove journal related functions from `CoredDb`
This PR extends the `nimbus import` command to also allow reading from
era files - this command allows creating or topping up an existing
database with data coming from era files instead of network sync.
* add `--era1-dir` and `--max-blocks` options to command line
* make `persistBlocks` report basic stats like transactions and gas
* improve error reporting in several API
* allow importing multiple RLP files in one go
* clean up logging options to match nimbus-eth2
* make sure database is closed properly on shutdown
* Update TDD suite logger output format choices
why:
New format is not practical for TDD as it just dumps data across a wide
range (considerably larder than 80 columns.)
So the new format can be turned on by function argument.
* Update unit tests samples configuration
why:
Slightly changed the way to find the `era1` directory
* Remove compiler warnings (fix deprecated expressions and phrases)
* Update `Aristo` debugging tools
* Always update the `storageID` field of account leaf vertices
why:
Storage tries are weekly linked to an account leaf object in that
the `storageID` field is updated by the application.
Previously, `Aristo` verified that leaf objects make sense when passed
to the database. As a consequence
* the database was inconsistent for a short while
* the burden for correctness was all on the application which led
to delayed error handling which is hard to debug.
So `Aristo` will internally update the account leaf objects so that
there are no race conditions due to the storage trie handling
* Aristo: Let `stow()`/`persist()` bail out unless there is a `VertexID(1)`
why:
The journal and filter logic depends on the hash of the `VertexID(1)`
which is commonly known as the state root. This implies that all
changes to the database are somehow related to that.
* Make sure that a `Ledger` account does not overwrite the storage trie reference
why:
Due to the abstraction of a sub-trie (now referred to as column with a
hash describing its state) there was a weakness in the `Aristo` handler
where an account leaf could be overwritten though changing the validity
of the database. This has been changed and the database will now reject
such changes.
This patch fixes the behaviour on the application layer. In particular,
the column handle returned by the `CoreDb` needs to be updated by
the `Aristo` database state. This mitigates the problem that a storage
trie might have vanished or re-apperaed with a different vertex ID.
* Fix sub-trie deletion test
why:
Was originally hinged on `VertexID(1)` which cannot be wholesale
deleted anymore after the last Aristo update. Also, running with
`VertexID(2)` needs an artificial `VertexID(1)` for making `stow()`
or `persist()` work.
* Cosmetics
* Activate `test_generalstate_json`
* Temporarily `deactivate test_tracer_json`
* Fix copyright header

* Remove crufty `pruneTrie` arguments
* Replaced legacy `distinct_trie` logic by new `ledger` functionality
why:
The module `distinct_trie` is supported by `Aristo` in trivial cases.
* Activate `test_op_memory`
* Workaround for disallowed transaction superseding
The transaction spammer from Kurtosis keeps spamming transactions with
the same nonce because report 'pending' account nocne based on 'latest'
rather than actually considering the mempool. To avoid errors from
rejecting those, disable the required gas price bump when replacing
a transaction with a new nonce.
* Lint
* Skip superseding negative test
* Workaround for 0 gas price estimation
The transaction spammer from Kurtosis estimates the gas price of its
transactions using 'eth_gasPrice'. Our implementation returns 0 when
no transactions have been executed yet, not taking into account the
EIP-1559 block base fee. Force a hardcoded minimum for now to unstuck.
* Adjust tests to cover new minimum gas fee
* Skip gas price test
This PR exploits structural properties of era files to simplify the
implementation and in particular remove the need to load all era file
indicies at startup which may be slow (due to archival storage residing
on slow drives)
* Update some docu & messages
* Remove cruft from the ledger modules
* Must not overwrite genesis data on an initialised database
why:
This will overwrite the global state of the Aristo single state DB.
Otherwise resuming at the last synced state becomes impossible.
* Provide latest block number from journal
why:
This relates the global state of the DB directly to the corresponding
block number.
* Implemented unit test providing DB pre-load and resume
why:
When deleting accounts while restoring the previous state, storage tries
must be deleted first. Otherwise a `DelDanglingStoTrie` error will occur
when trying to delete an account which refers to an active storage trie.
* Introduce wrapper type for EIP-4844 transactions
EIP-4844 blob sidecars are a concept that only exists in the mempool.
After inclusion of a transaction into an execution block, only the
versioned hash within the transaction remains. To improve type safety,
replace the `Transaction.networkPayload` member with a wrapper type
`PooledTransaction` that is used in contexts where blob sidecars exist.

* Aristo: Rename journal related sources and functions
why:
Previously, the naming was hinged on the phrases `fifo`, `filter` etc.
which reflect the inner workings of cascaded filters. This was
unfortunate for reading/understanding the source code for actions where
the focus is the journal as a whole.
* Aristo: Fix buffer overflow (path length truncating error)
* Aristo: Tighten `hikeUp()` stop check, update error code
why:
Detect dangling vertex links. These are legit with `snap` sync
processing but not with regular processing.
* Aristo: Raise assert in regular mode `merge()` at a dangling link/edge
why:
With `snap` sync processing, partial trees are ok and can be amended.
Not so in regular mode.
Previously there was only a debug message when a non-legit dangling edge
was encountered.
* Aristo: Make sure that vertices are copied before modification
why:
Otherwise vertices from lower layers might also be modified
* Aristo: Fix relaxed mode for validity checker `check()`
* Remove cruft
* Aristo: Update API for transaction handling
details:
+ Split `aristo_tx.nim` into sub-modules
+ Split `forkWith()` into `findTx()` + `forkTx()`
+ Removed `forkTop()`, `forkBase()` (now superseded by new `forkTx()`)
* CoreDb+Aristo: Fix initialiser (missing methods)
* Aristo: Allow to define/set `FilterID` for journal filter records
why:
After some changes, the `FilterID` is isomorphic to the `BlockNumber`
scalar (well, the first 2^64 entries of a `BlockNumber`.)
The needed change for `FilterID` is that the `FilterID(0)` value is
valid part of the `FilterID` scalar. A non-valid `FilterID` entry is
represented by `none(FilterID)`.
* Aristo: Split off function `persist()` as persistent version of `stow()`
why:
In production, `stow(persistent=false,..)` is currently unused. So,
using `persist()` rather than `stow(persistent=true,..)` improves
readability and is better to maintain.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Store block numbers in journal records
why:
This makes journal records searchable by block numbers
* Aristo: Rename some journal related functions
why:
The name *journal* is more appropriate to api functions than something
with *fifo* or *filter*.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Update last/oldest journal state retrieval
* CoreDb+Aristo: Register block number with state root in journal
why:
No need anymore for extra lookup table `stRootToBlockNum` which maps
a storage root -> block number.
* Aristo: Remove unused function `getFilUbe()` from api
* CoreDb: Remove now unused virtual table `stRootToBlockNum`
why:
Was used to map a state root to a block number. This functionality
is now embedded into the recovery journal backend.
* Turn of API tracking (will fail on `fluffy`)
* Aristo: Code cosmetics, e.g. update some CamelCase names
* CoreDb+Aristo: Provide oldest known state root implied
details:
The Aristo journal allows to recover earlier but not all state roots.
* Aristo: Fix journal backward index operator, e.g. `[^1]`
* Aristo: Fix journal updater
why:
The `fifosStore()` store function slightly misinterpreted the update
instructions when translation is to database `put()` functions. The
effect was that the journal was ever growing due to stale entries which
were never deleted.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Provide utils for purging stale data from the KVT
details:
See earlier patch, not all state roots are available. This patch
provides a mapping from some state root to a block number and allows to
remove all KVT data related to a particular block number
* Aristo+Kvt: Implement a clean up schedule for expired data in KVT
why:
For a single state ledger like `Aristo`, there is only a limited
backlog of states. So KVT data (i.e. headers etc.) are cleaned up
regularly
* Fix copyright year
* Aristo+Kvt: Better RocksDB profiling
why:
Providing more detailed information, mainly for `Aristo`
* Aristo: Renamed journal `stats()` to `capacity()`
why:
`Stats()` was a misnomer
* Aristo: Provide backend read caches for key and vertex IDs
why:
Dedicated LRU caching for particular types gives a throughput advantage.
The sizes of the LRU queues used for caching are currently constant
but might be adjusted at a later time.
* Fix copyright year
* Code cosmetics
* Aristo+Kvt: Fix api wrappers
why:
Api setup killed the backend descriptor when backend mapping was
disabled.
* Aristo: Implement masked profiling entries
why:
Database backend should be listed but not counted in tally
* CoreDb: Simplify backend() methods
why:
DBMS backend access Was provided very early and over engineered. Now
there are only two backend machines, one for `Kvt` and the other one
for an `Mpt` available only via new API.
* CoreDb: Code cleanup regarding descriptor types
* CoreDb: Refactor/redefine `persistent()` methods
why:
There were `persistent()` methods for any type of caching storage
facilities `Kvt`, `Mpt`, `Phk`, and `Acc`. Now there is only a single
`persistent()` method storing all facilities in tandem (similar to
how transactions work.)
For non shared `Kvt` tables, there is now an extra storage method
`saveOffSite()`.
* CoreDb lingo update: `trie` becomes `column`
why:
Notion of a `trie` is pretty much hidden by the new `CoreDb` api.
Revealed are sort of database columns for accounts an storage data,
any of which have an internal state represented by a Keccack hash.
So a `trie` or `MPT` becomes a `column` and a `rootHash` becomes a
column state.
* Aristo: rename backend filed `filters` => `journal`
* Update full sync logging
details:
+ Disable eth handler noise while syncing
+ Log journal depth (if available)
* Fix copyright year
* Fix cruft and unwanted imports
* Update README
* Nimbus-main: replaced `PruneMode` options by `ChainDbMode` options
details:
For the legacy database, this changes the phrase
- `conf.pruneMode == PruneMode.Full` to the expression
+ `conf.chainDbMode == ChainDbMode.Prune`.
* Fix issues moaned about by NIM compiler
* Fix copyright year
* Suspend `snap` sync tests
why:
Snap needs to be updated. While this is not done, tests are obsolete
and eat up memory resources only
* Suspend rocks DB timing tests
why:
Currently of no use for general test suite.
* Mothballed unused evm code for opportunistic DB handling
why:
Needs to be refactored anyway. Uses hard coded protocol dependencies.
* Update `eth` protocol configuration
why:
+ new upcoming version `eth68`
+ prepare for eth-multi protocol stack support
* Strip the `legacy_` prefix from eth66 compiler flag variable
why:
Being it is an oddity having `eth67_enabled`, `eth68_enabled`, and
`legacy_eth_66_enabled`.
* Providing eth68 stubs
* Fix copyright year
* Fix eth68 stub method name
* Kvt: Update API hooks
* Aristo: Generalised merging snap proofs, now for multiple state roots
why:
This accommodates pre-loading partial tries for unit tests
* Aristo: Update some unit tests
* CoreDb+Aristo: Re-factor tracer
why:
Was bonkers anyway. The main change is that the trace journal is now
kept in a way similar to a transaction layer so that it can predictably
interact with DB transactions.
* Ledger: Debugging helper
* Update tracer unit test applicable for `Aristo`
* Fix copyright year
* Disable `dump()` function as compile time default
why:
This needs to pull in the `rocks_db` library at compile time.
* Aristo: Provide descriptor fork based on search in transaction stack
details:
Try to find the tx that has a particular pair `(vertex-id,hash-key)`,
and by extension try filter and backend if the former fails.
* Cleanup & docu
* CoreDb+Aristo: Implement context re-position to earlier in-memory state
why:
It is a easy way to explore how there can be concurrent access to the
same backend storage DB with different view states. This one can access
an earlier state from the transaction stack.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Populate tracer stubs with real functionality
* Update `tracer.nim` to new API
why:
Legacy API does not sufficiently support `Aristo`
* Fix logging problems in tracer
details:
Debug logging turned off by default
* Fix function prototypes
* Add Copyright header
* Add tables import
why:
For older compiler versions on CI
* CoreDb+Aristo: Fix handler code
* Aristo+Kvt: Remove cruft
* Aristo+Kvt: The function `forkTop()` always provides a single transaction
why:
Previously it provided a single squashed tx only if there were any. Now
it will provide a blind one if there were none.
* Fix Copyright header
why:
Ignoring `nil` objects was handy for a while but eventually led to
lazy programming which in turn led to double destructor calls for
the rocks-db.
* Aristo+Kvt: Fix backend `dup()` function in api setup
why:
Backend object is subject to an inheritance cascade which was not
taken care of, before. Only the base object was duplicated.
* Kvt: Simplify DB clone/peers management
* Aristo: Simplify DB clone/peers management
* Aristo: Adjust unit test for working with memory DB only
why:
This currently causes some memory corruption persumably in the
`libc` background layer.
* CoredDb+Kvt: Simplify API for KVT
why:
Simplified storage models (was over engineered) for better performance
and code maintenance.
* CoredDb+Aristo: Simplify API for `Aristo`
why:
Only single database state needed here. Accessing a similar state will
be implemented from outside this module using a context layer. This
gives better performance and improves code maintenance.
* Fix Copyright headers
* CoreDb: Turn off API tracking
why:
CI would ot go through. Was accidentally turned on.
* Add new RocksNamespaceRef type and remove backups and readonly support from RocksDb KvStore.
* Bump nim-rocksdb to fc2ba4a836b6b47ae1b17d1c45801c7e06585e19
* Fix tests.
* Fix copyright notice.
* Aristo: Remove cruft
* Prettifying profile statistics printing & source code cosmetics
* Aristo/Kvt: API tools update
* CoreDb: Corrections, mostly API related
* CoreDb: Changed the tracer `logDb()` result
why:
Only the key-value table is used from the logger database
* CoreDb: Update legacy tracer
why:
The `contains()` directive did not correspond to `0 < get().len`
also:
Copy `CoreDb` meta settings like `trackLegaApi`, `trackNewApi`, etc. to
overlay tracer descriptor
* CoreDb: Extend/update tracer API
why:
Get ready for accommodating `Aristo` tracer
* Fix missing import
why:
Some CI compilers might have (cached?) a different NIM patch level
* Ditto
* Aristo/Kvt: Provide function hooks APIs
why:
These APIs can be used for installing tracers, profiling functoinality,
and other niceties on the databases.
* Aristo: Provide optional API profiling
details:
It basically is a re-implementation of the `CoreDb` profiling
implementation
* Kvt: Provide optional API profiling similar to `Aristo`
* CoreDb: Re-implementing profiling using `aristo_profile`
* Ledger: Re-implementing profiling using `aristo_profile`
* CoreDb: Update unit tests for maintainability
* update copyright dates
* CoreDb: Provide default db backend symbols
why:
Handy for running `Aristo` against standard tests
note:
These defaults are currently set to legacy DB types. The must be
enabled manually in `db/core_db.nim`.
* Provide `Aristo` for macro assembler related tests
caveat:
Some tests use `initStorageTrie()` which lets `Aristo` bail out. The
test need to run on `distinct_ledgers` (or something like) rather than
`distinct_tries`.
* Tests: Misc modules that can run on `Aristo` as well
* NoHive: Module that can run on `Aristo` as well
* Fix copyright year
* ditto
* Aristo: Reorg `hashify()` using different schedule algorithm
why:
Directly calculating the search tree top down from the roots turns
out to be faster than using the cached structures left over by `merge()`
and `delete()`.
Time gains is short of 20%
* Aristo: Remove `lTab[]` leaf entry object type
why:
Not used anymore. It was previously needed to build the schedule for
`hashify()`.
* Aristo: Avoid unnecessary re-org of the vertex ID recycling list
why:
This list can become quite large so a heuristic is employed whether
it makes sense to re-org.
Also, re-org check is only done by `delete()` functions.
* Aristo: Remove key/reverse lookup table from tx layers
why:
It is ignored except for handling proof nodes and costs unnecessary
run time resources.
This feature was originally needed to accommodate the mental transition
from the legacy MPT to the `Aristo` trie :).
* Fix copyright year
* CoreDb: update test suite
* Aristo: Simplify reverse key map
why:
The reverse key map `pAmk: (root,key) -> {vid,..}` as been simplified to
`pAmk: key -> {vid,..}` as the state `root` domain argument is not used,
anymore
* Aristo: Remove `HashLabel` object type and replace it by `HashKey`
why:
The `HashLabel` object attaches a root hash to a hash key. This is
nowhere used, anymore.
* Fix copyright
* Added procs to get and store block witness in db and add generate-witness cli flag.
* Completed initial implementation of block witness storage.
* Added test to verify witness is persisted to db after call to persistBlock.
* Update getBlockWitness to return witness using Result type.
* Make generate witness parameter hidden.
