* Update nearby/neighbour leaf nodes finder
details:
Update return error codes so that in the case that there is no more
leaf node beyond the search direction, the particular error code
`NearbyBeyondRange` is returned.
* Compile largest interval range containing only this leaf point
why:
Will be needed in snap sync for adding single leaf nodes to the range
of already allocated nodes.
* Reorg `hexary_inspect.nim`
why:
Merged the nodes collecting algorithm for persistent and in-memory
into a single generic function `hexary_inspect.inspectTrieImpl()`
* Update fetching accounts range failure handling in `rangeFetchAccounts()`
why:
Rejected response leads now to fetching for another account range. Only
repeated failures (or all done) terminate the algorithm.
* Update accounts healing
why:
+ Fixed looping over a bogus node response that could not inserted into
the database. As a solution, these nodes are locally registered and not
asked for in this download cycle.
+ Sub-optimal handling of interval range for a healed account leaf node.
Now the maximal range interval containing this node is registered as
processed which leafs to de-fragementation of the processed (and
unprocessed) range list(s). So *gap* ranges which are known not to
cover any account leaf node are not asked for on the network, anymore.
+ Sporadically remove empty interval ranges (if any)
* Update logging, better variable names
* Add state root to node steps path register `RPath` or `XPath`
why:
Typically, the first node in the path register is the state root. There
are occasions, when the path register is empty (i.e. there are no node
references) which typically applies to a zero node key.
In order to find the next node key greater than zero, the state root is
is needed which is now part of the `RPath` or `XPath` data types.
* Extracted hexary tree debugging functions into separate files
* Update empty path fringe case for left/right node neighbour
why:
When starting at zero, the node steps path register would be empty. So
will any path that is before the fist non-zero link of a state root (if
it is a `Branch` node.)
The `hexaryNearbyRight()` or `hexaryNearbyLeft()` function required a
non-zero node steps path register. Now the first node is to be advanced
starting at the first state root link if necessary.
* Simplify/reorg neighbour node finder
why:
There was too mach code repetition for the cases
* persistent or in-memory database
* left or right move
details:
Most algorithms apply for persistent and in-memory alike. Using
templates/generic functions most of these algorithms can be stated
in a unified way
* Update storage slots snap/1 handler
details:
Minor changes to be more debugging friendly.
* Fix detection of full database for snap sync
* Docu: Snap sync test & debugging scenario
* Clean up some function prototypes
why:
Simplify polymorphic prototype variances for easier maintenance.
* Fix fringe condition crash when importing bogus RLP node
why:
Accessing non-list RLP entry as a list causes `Defect`
* Fix left boundary proof at range extractor
why:
Was insufficient. The main problem was that there was no unit test for
the validity of the generated left boundary.
* Handle incomplete left boundary proofs early
why:
Attempt to do it later leads to overly complex code in order to prevent
looping when the same peer repeats to send the same incomplete proof.
Contrary, gaps in the leaf sequence can be handled gracefully with
registering the gaps
* Implement a manual pivot setup mechanism for snap sync
why:
For a test scenario it is convenient to set the pivot to something
lower than the beacon header from the consensus layer. This does not
need rely on any RPC mechanism.
details:
The file containing the pivot specs is specified by the
`--sync-ctrl-file` option. It is regularly parsed for updates.
* Fix calculation error
why:
Prevent from calculating negative square root
* Renaming androgynous sub-object names according to where they belong
why:
These objects are not explicitly dealt with. They give meaning to
some generic wrapper objects. Naming them after their origin may
help troubleshooting.
* Redefine proof nodes list data type for `snap/1` wire protocol
why:
The current specification suffered from the fact that the basic data
type for a proof node is an RLP encoded hexary node. This slightly
confused the encoding/decoding magic.
details:
This is the second attempt, now wrapping the `seq[Blob]` into a
wrapper object of `seq[SnapProof]` for a distinct alias sequence.
In the previous attempt, `SnapProof` was a wrapper object holding the
`Blob` with magic applied to the `seq[]`. This needed the `append`
mixin to strip the outer wrapper that was applied to the `Blob` already
when it was passed as argument.
* Fix some prototype inconsistency
why:
For easy reading, `getAccountRange()` handler return code should
resemble the `accoundRange()` anruments prototype.
* Redefine `seq[Blob]` => `seq[SnapProof]` for `snap/1` protocol
why:
Proof nodes are traded as `Blob` type items rather than Nim objects. So
the RLP transcoder must not extra wrap proofs which are of type
seq[Blob]. Without custom encoding one would produce a
`list(blob(item1), blob(item2) ..)` instead of `list(item1, item2 ..)`.
* Limit leaf extractor by RLP size rather than number of items
why:
To be used serving `snap/1` requests, the result of function
`hexaryRangeLeafsProof()` is limited by the maximal space
needed to serialise the result which will be part of the
`snap/1` repsonse.
* Let the range extractor `hexaryRangeLeafsProof()` return RLP list sizes
why:
When collecting accounts, the size oft the accounts list when encoded
as RLP is continually updated. So the summed up value is available
anyway. For the proof nodes list, there are not many (~ 10) so summing
up is not expensive here.
* Unit tests to verify calculations based on hard coded constants
why:
Sizes of RLP encoded objects are available at run time only.
* Changed argument order for `hexaryRangeLeafsProof()` prototype
why:
Better to read as a stand-alone function (arguments were optimised
for functional pipelines)
* Run sub-range proof tests for extracted ranges
* Cosmetics
details:
+ Update doc generator
+ Fix key type representation in `hexary_desc` for debugging
+ Redefine `isImportOk()` as template for better `check()` line reporting
* Fix fringe condition when interpolating Merkle-Patricia tries
details:
Small change with profound effect fixing some pathological condition
that haunted the unit test set on large data sers. There is still one
condition left which might well be due to an incomplete data set.
* Unit test proof nodes for node range extractor
* Unit tests to run on full extraction set
why:
Left over from troubleshooting, range length was only 5
* Update comments and test noise
* Fix boundary proofs
why:
Where neither used in production, nor unit tested. For production, other
methods apply to test leaf range integrity directly based of the proof
nodes.
* Added `hexary_range()`: interval range + proof extractor
details:
+ Will be used for `snap/1` protocol handler
+ Unit tests added (also for testing left boundary proof)
todo:
Need to verify completeness of proof nodes
* Reduce some nim 1.6 compiler noise
* Stop unit test gossip for ci tests
* Extracted RocksDB timing unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Extracted `inspectionRunner()` unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Extracted `storagesRunner()` unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Extracted pivot checkpoint store/retrieval unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Extract helper functions into separate source file
* Extracted account import unit tests into separate file
why:
make space for more in main module :)
* Rename `test_decompose()` => `test_NodeRangeDecompose()`
why:
There will be more functions with `test_NodeRange` prefix.
