* 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
* Fix debug noise in `hashify()` for perfectly normal situation
why:
Was previously considered a fixable error
* Fix test sample file names
why:
The larger test file `goerli68161.txt.gz` is already in the local
archive. So there is no need to use the smaller one from the external
repo.
* Activate `accounts_cache` module from `db/ledger`
why:
A copy of the original `accounts_cache.nim` source to be integrated
into the `Ledger` module wrapper which allows to switch between
different `accounts_cache` implementations unser tha same API.
details:
At a later state, the `db/accounts_cache.nim` wrapper will be
removed so that there is only one access to that module via
`db/ledger/accounts_cache.nim`.
* Fix copyright headers in source code
* Aristo: Provide key-value list signature calculator
detail:
Simple wrappers around `Aristo` core functionality
* Update new API for `CoreDb`
details:
+ Renamed new API functions `contains()` => `hasKey()` or `hasPath()`
which disables the `in` operator on non-boolean `contains()` functions
+ The functions `get()` and `fetch()` always return a not-found error if
there is no item, available. The new functions `getOrEmpty()` and
`mergeOrEmpty()` return an an empty `Blob` if there is no such key
found.
* Rewrite `core_apps.nim` using new API from `CoreDb`
* Use `Aristo` functionality for calculating Merkle signatures
details:
For debugging, the `VerifyAristoForMerkleRootCalc` can be set so
that `Aristo` results will be verified against the legacy versions.
* Provide general interface for Merkle signing key-value tables
details:
Export `Aristo` wrappers
* Activate `CoreDb` tests
why:
Now, API seems to be stable enough for general tests.
* Update `toHex()` usage
why:
Byteutils' `toHex()` is superior to `toSeq.mapIt(it.toHex(2)).join`
* Split `aristo_transcode` => `aristo_serialise` + `aristo_blobify`
why:
+ Different modules for different purposes
+ `aristo_serialise`: RLP encoding/decoding
+ `aristo_blobify`: Aristo database encoding/decoding
* Compacted representation of small nodes' links instead of Keccak hashes
why:
Ethereum MPTs use Keccak hashes as node links if the size of an RLP
encoded node is at least 32 bytes. Otherwise, the RLP encoded node
value is used as a pseudo node link (rather than a hash.) Such a node
is nor stored on key-value database. Rather the RLP encoded node value
is stored instead of a lode link in a parent node instead. Only for
the root hash, the top level node is always referred to by the hash.
This feature needed an abstraction of the `HashKey` object which is now
either a hash or a blob of length at most 31 bytes. This leaves two
ways of representing an empty/void `HashKey` type, either as an empty
blob of zero length, or the hash of an empty blob.
* Update `CoreDb` interface (mainly reducing logger noise)
* Fix copyright years (to make `Lint` happy)
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Misc fixes
detail:
* Fix de-serialisation for account leafs
* Update node recovery from unit tests
* Remove `LegacyAccount` from `PayloadRef` object
why:
Legacy accounts use a hash key as storage root which is detrimental
to the working of the Aristo database which uses a vertex ID.
* Dissolve `hashify_helper` into `aristo_utils` and `aristo_transcode`
why:
Functions are of general interest so they should live in first level
code files.
* Added left/right iterators over leaf nodes
* Some helper/wrapper functions that might be useful
* Slightly tighten some self-check conditions
* Redefined the database descriptor object as reference (to the object)
why:
The upcoming transaction wrapper will work with a database reference
rather than the object itself
* Append state before `save()` to the Aristo descriptor
why:
This stae was previously returned by the function. Appending it to
a field of the Aristo descriptor seems easier to handle.
* Fix missing branch checks in transcoder
why:
Symmetry problem. `Blobify()` allowed for encoding degenerate branch
vertices while `Deblobify()` rejected decoding wrongly encoded data.
* Update memory backend so that it rejects storing bogus vertices.
why:
Error behaviour made similar to the rocks DB backend.
* Make sure that leaf vertex IDs are not repurposed
why:
This makes it easier to record leaf node changes
* Update error return code for next()/right() traversal
why:
Returning offending vertex ID (besides error code) helps debugging
* Update Merkle hasher for deleted nodes
why:
Not implemented, yet
also:
Provide cache & backend consistency check functions. This was
partly re-implemented from `hashifyCheck()`
* Simplify some unit tests
* Fix delete function
why:
Was conceptually wrong
* Fix include
why:
Eth67 not default yet so that got missed
* Rename `LeafKey` => `LeafTie`
why:
Name is a pen picture of what this object is for. Also, it avoids the
ubiquitous term `key`.
* Provided `getOrVoid()` wrapper for `getOrDefault()`
also:
Provide `isValid()` syntactic sugar for `.isNil.not`, `!= 0` etc.
Reorg descriptor source, split into sub-sources
* Bundled `NodeKey` objects with root ID and called it `HashLabel`
why:
`NodeKey` (aka repurposed Hash265) objects are unique only within a
particular sub-trie (e.g. storage slots) which are kept separated
(i.e non-interleaved) by design. This is not applied to the backend
as the map VertexID->NodeKey labelling the nodes needs not be injective.
For the in-memory database (transaction) layers, the injective map
VertexID->(VertexID,NodeKey) is used where the first field of the image
tuple is the root ID of the sub-trie the `NodeKey` object is valid. So
identical storage tries for different accounts can be represented.
* Exclude some storage tests
why:
These test running on external dumps slipped through. The particular
dumps were reported earlier as somehow dodgy.
This was changed in `#1457` but having a second look, the change on
hexary_interpolate.nim(350) might be incorrect.
* Redesign `Aristo DB` descriptor for transaction based layers
why:
Previous descriptor layout made it cumbersome to push/pop
database delta layers.
The new architecture keeps each layer with the full delta set
relative to the database backend.
* Keep root ID as part of the `Patricia Trie` leaf path
why;
That way, forests are supported
* Fix missing Merkle key removal in `merge()`
* Accept optional root hash argument in `hashify()`
why:
For importing a full database, there will be no proof data except the
root key. So this can be used to check and set the root key in the
database descriptor.
also:
Associate vertex ID to `hashify()` error return code
* Added Aristo Trie traversal function
why:
* step along leaf vertices in sorted order
* tree/trie consistency checks when debugging
* Enabled storage slots test data for Aristo DB
