* Testnet improvements
Increase timeout for reading
Add more logs
Offer endpoint can fail due to talkReq timeout, to avoid
test failure, retry it few times until success.
- Add retries when the network request failed on validation of
block header, body or receipts.
- Shuffle the first set of neighbours that the request is send to
in order to not always hit the same peer first for the same content
- Some general clean-up
- More consistent naming in calls used by the JSON-RPC debug API
- Use storeContent everywhere to make sure content is only stored
if in range
- Remove populateHistoryDb subcommand and replace by JSON-RPC call
storeContent
- Remove some whitespace and fix some indentations
Allow also concurrent neighborhood gossip jobs when seeding data
into the network.
Update Grafana dashboard for two additional metrics regarding
lookups in neighborhood gossip.
* Improvements to the propagation and seeding of data
- Use a lookup for nodes selection in neighborhoodGossip
- Rework populate db code and add `propagateBlockHistoryDb` call
and portal_history__propagateBlock json-rpc call
- Small adjustment to blockwalk
* Avoid storing out-of-range data in the propagate db calls
* Add concurrency to the content offers of neighborhoodGossip proc
And remove some whitespace
* Remove more whitespace and adjust for 80 char line limit
* Update fluffy grafana dashboard to include gossip offer results
- Truncate returned number of ENRs in Portal Nodes message to fit
the discv5 max. packet size
- Truncate returned number of ENRs in Portal Content message to
fit the discv5 max. packet size
- Use more detailed packet size calculation for max content payload
in Portal Content message.
- Add metrics to track how many ENRs get packed in the Portal
Nodes and Content messages.
* Sharing block header data around in a Portal history network (PoC)
- Rework PortalStream to have an instance per PortalProtocol (this
needs to be improved eventually). Each instance uses the same
UtpDiscv5Protocol instance.
- Add processContent on receival of accepted data
- Add dumb neighborhoodGossip: dumb in the sense that it only
offers one piece of content at a time.
- Add to / adjust populate_db to also allow for propagation of
the data and add debug rpc call: portal_history_propagate
- Add eth_rpc_client
- Add eth_getBlockbyHash (no txs or uncles) to eth API
- Add additional test to test_portal_testnet which loads 5 block
headers to 1 node, and offers this data to few nodes, which should
propagate it over the network further. Next query every node for
this data.
* Adjust paths on which Fluffy CI is triggered
* Add documentation on the local testnet
- Allow access to contentDB from portal wire protocol
- Use this to do the db.get in `handleFindContent` directly
- Use this to check the `contentKeys` list in `handleOffer`
- Add portal network ping and findNodes JSON-RPC endpoints
- clean-up of some cli arguments
- Add protocol_interop.md document and adjust/fix other
documentation
Currently bootstrap nodes for discv5 and for the Portal nodes
were provided through separate cli arguments. This is however
confusing and cumbersome as typically when (currently) testing
a node will have both discv5 and the Portal networks enabled.
We merge them into one argument.
If a node happens not to support a Portal network, it will be
removed after message request failure.
Commit also contains additional clean-up and nim-eth bump.
