* Simplify accounts healing threshold management
why:
Was over-engineered.
details:
Previously, healing was based on recursive hexary trie perusal.
Due to "cheap" envelope decomposition of a range complement for the
hexary trie, the cost of running extra laps have become time-affordable
again and a simple trigger mechanism for healing will do.
* Control number of dangling result nodes in `hexaryInspectTrie()`
also:
+ Returns number of visited nodes available for logging so the maximum
number of nodes can be tuned accordingly.
+ Some code and docu update
* Update names of constants
why:
Declutter, more systematic naming
* Re-implemented `worker_desc.merge()` for storage slots
why:
Provided as proper queue management in `storage_queue_helper`.
details:
+ Several append modes (replaces `merge()`)
+ Added third queue to record entries currently fetched by a worker. So
another parallel running worker can safe the complete set of storage
slots in as checkpoint. This was previously lost.
* Refactor healing
why:
Simplify and remove deep hexary trie perusal for finding completeness.
Due to "cheap" envelope decomposition of a range complement for the
hexary trie, the cost of running extra laps have become time-affordable
again and a simple trigger mechanism for healing will do.
* Docu update
* Run a storage job only once in download loop
why:
Download failure or rejection (i.e. missing data) lead to repeated
fetch requests until peer disconnects, otherwise.
* Rename and update dismantle => hexaryEnvelopeDecompose()
why:
+ As for naming, a positive connotation is prefered
+ The unit tests were really insufficient
+ The function result was wrong on a few boundry conditions
detail:
+ Extracted the function from `hexary_paths.nim` and re-implemented
it together with other envelope functions => `hexary_envelope.nim`
+ Re-wrote docu for `hexaryEnvelopeDecompose()`
* Relaxed right condition for `hexaryEnvelopeDecompose()` range argument
why;
Previously, the right point of the argument interval had to be a path
to an allocated leaf node. While this is typically a given for accounts,
it is easier to require an arbitrary range of paths (or keys) with
the requirement of a `boundary proof` for left and right (i.e. enough
nodes in the database to find the end points.)
also:
Bug fixes for related functions (typos, missing conditions etc.)
* Add missing unit tests include file
