* Split `core_db/base.nim` into several sources
* Rename `core_db/legacy.nim` => `core_db/legacy_db.nim`
* Update `CoreDb` API, dual methods returning `Result[]` or plain value
detail:
Plain value methods implemet the legacy API, they defect on error results
* Redesign `CoreDB` direct backend access
why:
Made the `backend` directive integral part of the API
* Discontinue providing unused or otherwise available functions
details:
+ setTransactionID() removed, not used and not easily replicable in Aristo
+ maybeGet() removed, available via direct backend access
+ newPhk() removed, never used & was experimental anyway
* Update/reorg backend API
why:
+ Added error print function `$$()`
+ General descriptor completion (and optional validation) via `bless()`
* Update `Aristo`/`Kvt` exception handling
why:
Avoid `CatchableError` exceptions, rather pass them as error code where
appropriate.
* More `CoreDB` compliant `Aristo` and `Kvt` methods
details:
+ Providing functions like `contains()`, `getVtxRc()` (returns `Result[]`).
+ Additional error code: `NotImplemented`
* Rewrite/reorg of Aristo DB constructor
why:
Previously used global object `DefaultQidLayoutRef` as default
initialiser. This object was created at compile time which lead to
non-gc safe functions.

* Add clientInfo to ENR for easier testnet debugging
* Remove git rev from ENR client info
This allows for a shorter ENR which allows more ENRs to be packed
in the Nodes reply. And for glados, only the client name is used
anyhow.
* Kvt: Implemented multi-descriptor access on the same backend
why:
This behaviour mirrors the one of Aristo and can be used for
simultaneous transactions on Aristo + Kvt
* Kvt: Update database iterators
why:
Forgot to run on the top layer first
* Kvt: Misc fixes
* Aristo, use `openArray[byte]` rather than `Blob` in prototype
* Aristo, by default hashify right after cloning descriptor
why:
Typically, a completed descriptor is expected after cloning. Hashing
can be suppressed by argument flag.
* Aristo provides `replicate()` iterator, similar to legacy `replicate()`
* Aristo API fixes and updates
* CoreDB: Rename `legacy_persistent` => `legacy_rocksdb`
why:
More systematic, will be in line with Aristo DB which might have
more than one persistent backends
* CoreDB: Prettify API sources
why:
Better to read and maintain
details:
Annotating with custom pragmas which cleans up the prototypes
* CoreDB: Update MPT/put() prototype allowing `CatchableError`
why:
Will be needed for Aristo API (legacy is OK with `RlpError`)
* Correct the shortcut for ommershash verification post Shanghai
There was a faulty length check being done in the assumption that
the uncles field was already the list. However it is still the
RLP encoded data at that point, hence we check directly for the
RLP encoded value for empty list.
* Fix copy-paste error in withdrawal root verification
And print out the hashes in txs root and withdrawal root
verification
* Update docu
* Update Aristo/Kvt constructor prototype
why:
Previous version used an `enum` value to indicate what backend is to
be used. This was replaced by using the backend object type.
* Rewrite `hikeUp()` return code into `Result[Hike,(Hike,AristoError)]`
why:
Better code maintenance. Previously, the `Hike` object was returned. It
had an internal error field so partial success was also available on
a failure. This error field has been removed.
* Use `openArray[byte]` rather than `Blob` in functions prototypes
* Provide synchronised multi instance transactions
why:
The `CoreDB` object was geared towards the legacy DB which used a single
transaction for the key-value backend DB. Different state roots are
provided by the backend database, so all instances work directly on the
same backend.
Aristo db instances have different in-memory mappings (aka different
state roots) and the transactions are on top of there mappings. So each
instance might run different transactions.
Multi instance transactions are a compromise to converge towards the
legacy behaviour. The synchronised transactions span over all instances
available at the time when base transaction was opened. Instances
created later are unaffected.
* Provide key-value pair database iterator
why:
Needed in `CoreDB` for `replicate()` emulation
also:
Some update of internal code
* Extend API (i.e. prototype variants)
why:
Needed for `CoreDB` geared towards the legacy backend which has a more
basic API than Aristo.
* Rewrite remaining `AristoError` return code into `Result[void,AristoError]`
why:
Better code maintenance
* Update import sections
* Update Aristo DB paths
why:
More systematic so directory can be shared with other DB types
* More cosmetcs
* Update unit tests runners
why:
Proper handling of persistent and mem-only DB. The latter can be
consistently triggered by an empty DB path.
why:
Additional tables needed for the `CoreDB` object with separate
key-value table and MPT.
details:
+ Stripped down copy of Aristo DB to have a similar look'n feel. Otherwise
it is just a posh way for accessing `Table` objects or `RocksDB` data.
+ No unit tests yet, will be tested on the go.
* Reorg of distributed backend access
details:
Now handled via API provided in `aristo_desc`.
* Rename `checkCache()` => `checkTop()`
why:
Better naming for top layer cache checker
also:
Provide cascaded fifos checker
* Provide `eq` directive for finding filter by exact filter ID (think block number)
* Some code beautification (for better code reading)
* State root reposition and reorg
details:
Repositioning is supported by forking a new descriptor. Reorg is then
accomplished by writing this forked state on the backend database.
details:
* Tested features
+ Successively store filters with increasing filter ID (think block number)
+ Cascading through fifos, deeper fifos merge groups of filters
+ Fetch squash merged N top fifos
+ Delete N top fifos, push back merged fifo, continue storing
+ Fifo chain is verified by hashes and filter ID
* Not tested yet
+ Real live scenario (using data dumps)
+ Real filter data (only shallow filters used so far)
* Set scheduler state as part of the backend descriptor
details:
Moved type definitions `QidLayoutRef` and `QidSchedRef` to
`desc_structural.nim` so that it shares the same folder as
`desc_backend.nim`
* Automatic filter queue table initialisation in backend
details:
Scheduler can be tweaked or completely disabled
* Updated backend unit tests
details:
+ some code clean up/beautification, reads better now
+ disabled persistent filters so that there is no automated filter
management which will be implemented next
* Prettify/update unit tests source code
details:
Mostly replacing the `check()` paradigm by `xCheck()`
* Somewhat simplified backend type management
why:
Backend objects are labelled with a `BackendType` symbol where the
`BackendVoid` label is implicitly assumed for a `nil` backend object
reference.
To make it easier, a `kind()` function is used now applicable to
`nil` references as well.
* Fix DB storage layout for filter objects
why:
Need to store the filter ID with the object
* Implement reverse [] index on fifo
why:
An integer index argument on `[]` retrieves the QueueID (label) of the
fifo item while a QueueID argument on `[]` retrieves the index (so
it is inverse to the former variant).
* Provide iterator over filters as fifo
why:
This iterator goes along the cascased fifo structure (i.e. in
historical order)
* Add discv5 provided ENR directly to Portal protocol routing table
Previous version of getting the ENR from the discv5 routing table
would not work due to the order of first calling the talk protocol
handler and only after that the addEnr to the disc5 routing table.
Instead of changing this order, pass along the ENR directly to
avoid this additional getNode call.
* Still request ENR from discv5 if it wasn't passed via handshake
* Add backwards index `[]` operator into fifo
also:
Need another maintenance instruction: The last overflow queue must
irrevocably delete some item in order to make space for a new one.
* Add re-org scheduler
details:
Generates instructions how to extract and merge some leading entries
* Add filter ID selector
details:
This allows to find the next filter now newer that a given filter ID
* Message update
Why?
Some opcodes such as labeled EIP-2929 changed their behavior from fixed
gas cost to dynamic gas cost.
This changes together with #1715 and #1717 will make the new EVM tracer
to produce trace result identical to geth.
