* Aristo: Generalise alien/guest interface for piggiback on database
* Aristo: Code cosmetics
* CoreDb+Kvt: Update transaction API
why:
Use single addressable function `forkTx(backLevel: int)` as used
in `Aristo`. So `Kvt` can be synced simultaneously to `Aristo`.
also:
Refactored `kvt_tx.nim` in a similar fashion to `Aristo`.
* Kvt: Replace `LayerDelta` object by reference
why:
Will be needed when introducing filters
* Kvt: Remodel backend filter facility similar to `Aristo`
why:
This allows to operate on several KVT instances simultaneously.
* CoreDb+Kvt: Fix on-disk storage
why:
Overlooked name change: `stow()` => `persist()` for permanent storage
* Fix copyright headers
* 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
* Aristo+RocksDB: Update backend drivers
why:
RocksDB update allows use some of the newly provided methods which
were previously implemented by using the very C backend (for the lack
of NIM methods.)
* Aristo+RocksDB: Simplify drivers wrapper
* Kvt: Update backend drivers and wrappers similar to `Aristo`
* Aristo+Kvm: Use column families for RocksDB
* Aristo+MemoryDB: Code cosmetics
* Aristo: Provide guest column family for export
why:
So `Kvt` can piggyback on `Aristo` so there avoiding to run a second
DBMS system in parallel.
* Kvt: Provide import mechanism for RoksDB guest column family
why:
So `Kvt` can piggyback on `Aristo` so there avoiding to run a second
DBMS system in parallel.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Run persistent `Kvt` DB piggybacked on `Aristo`
why:
Avoiding to run two DBMS systems in parallel.
* Fix copyright year
* Ditto
* 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.
* 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
* Aristo: Update unit test suite
* Aristo/Kvt: Fix iterators
why:
Generic iterators were not properly updated after backend change
* Aristo: Add sub-trie deletion functionality
why:
For storage tries linked to an account payload vertex ID, a the
whole storage trie needs to be deleted with the account.
* Aristo: Reserve vertex ID numbers for static custom state roots
why:
Static custom state roots may be controlled by an application,
e.g. for a receipt or a transaction root. The `Aristo` functions
are agnostic of what the static state roots are when different
from the internal tree vertex ID 1.
details;
The `merge()` function applied to a non-static state root (assumed
to be a storage root) will check the payload of an accounts leaf
and mark its Merkle keys to be re-checked.
* Aristo: Correct error code symbol
* Aristo: Update error code symbols
* Aristo: Code cosmetics/comments
* Aristo: Fix hashify schedule calculator
why:
Had a tendency to stop early leaving an incomplete job
* Update KVT layers abstraction
details:
modelled after Aristo layers
* Simplified KVT database iterators (removed item counters)
why:
Not needed for production functions
* Simplify KVT merge function `layersCc()`
* Simplified Aristo database iterators (removed item counters)
why:
Not needed for production functions
* Update failure condition for hash labels compiler `hashify()`
why:
Node need not be rejected as long as links are on the schedule. In
that case, `redo[]` is to become `wff.base[]` at a later stage.
* Update merging layers and label update functions
why:
+ Merging a stack of layers with `layersCc()` could be simplified
+ Merging layers will optimise the reverse `kMap[]` table maps
`pAmk: label->{vid, ..}` by deleting empty mappings `label->{}` where
they are redundant.
+ Updated `layersPutLabel()` for optimising `pAmk[]` tables
* Fix kvt headers
* Provide differential layers for KVT transaction stack
why:
Significant performance improvement
* Provide abstraction layer for database top cache layer
why:
This will eventually implemented as a differential database layers
or transaction layers. The latter is needed to improve performance.
behavioural changes:
Zero vertex and keys (i.e. delete requests) are not optimised out
until the last layer is written to the database.
* Provide differential layers for Aristo transaction stack
why:
Significant performance improvement
* Fix copyright year
* Show elapsed times with enabled `CoreDb` API tracking
* Show elapsed times with enabled `LedgerRef` API tracking
* Reorg `CoreDb` auto destructors for `Aristo` DB
why:
While `Aristo` supports some parallelism for concurrent database access,
this comes with a price of management overhead. With a naive approach,
the auto-destructor will slow down execution because the ledger and
evm treat the database in a shared mode where a DB descriptor is just
created and thrown away shortly after.
This is reflected in the `Coredb` abstraction layer above `Aristo`/`Kvt`
where a few `Shared` type descriptors are cached and a shared reference
is returned rather than a disposable new object.
* For `CoreDb` support transaction level tracking
details:
This is mainly an extra for the legacy DB as `Aristo` and `Kvt` support
this already.
Also return an error on the legacy DB backend when `persistent()` is
called while there are transactions pending (the `persistent()` call
does nothing otherwise on the legacy backend.)
* Clear compiler warnings (remove unused variables etc.)
* Using different `tmp` directories for `Kvt` and `Aristo`
why:
Closing one database would leave the other set of directories
incomplete.
* Code cosmetics, silence compiler
* Fix typo `EMPTY_ROOT_HASH` vs. `EMPTY_CODE_HASH`
* Fix copyright years
* Disable `TransactionID` related functions from `state_db.nim`
why:
Functions `getCommittedStorage()` and `updateOriginalRoot()` from
the `state_db` module are nowhere used. The emulation of a legacy
`TransactionID` type functionality is administratively expensive to
provide by `Aristo` (the legacy DB version is only partially
implemented, anyway).
As there is no other place where `TransactionID`s are used, they will
not be provided by the `Aristo` variant of the `CoreDb`. For the
legacy DB API, nothing will change.
* Fix copyright headers in source code
* Get rid of compiler warning
* Update Aristo code, remove unused `merge()` variant, export `hashify()`
why:
Adapt to upcoming `CoreDb` wrapper
* Remove synced tx feature from `Aristo`
why:
+ This feature allowed to synchronise transaction methods like begin,
commit, and rollback for a group of descriptors.
+ The feature is over engineered and not needed for `CoreDb`, neither
is it complete (some convergence features missing.)
* Add debugging helpers to `Kvt`
also:
Update database iterator, add count variable yield argument similar
to `Aristo`.
* Provide optional destructors for `CoreDb` API
why;
For the upcoming Aristo wrapper, this allows to control when certain
smart destruction and update can take place. The auto destructor works
fine in general when the storage/cache strategy is known and acceptable
when creating descriptors.
* Add update option for `CoreDb` API function `hash()`
why;
The hash function is typically used to get the state root of the MPT.
Due to lazy hashing, this might be not available on the `Aristo` DB.
So the `update` function asks for re-hashing the gurrent state changes
if needed.
* Update API tracking log mode: `info` => `debug
* Use shared `Kvt` descriptor in new Ledger API
why:
No need to create a new descriptor all the time
* Aristo: Single `FetchPathNotFound` error in `fetchXxx()` and `hasPath()`
why:
Missing path hike returns too many detailed reasons why it failed
which becomes cumbersome to handle.
also:
Renamed `contains()` => `hasPath()` which disables the `in` operator on
non-boolean `contains()` functions
* Kvt: Renamed `contains()` => `hasKey()`
why:
which disables the `in` operator on non-boolean `contains()` functions
* Aristo: Generalising `HashID` by variable length `PathID`
why:
There are cases when the `Aristo` database is to be used with
shorter than 64 nibbles keys when handling transactions indexes
with sequence IDs.
caveat:
This patch only works reliable for full length `PathID` values. Tests
for shorter `PathID` values are currently missing.
* 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.

* 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`)
* 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.
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.
