* Aristo: Rename journal related sources and functions
why:
Previously, the naming was hinged on the phrases `fifo`, `filter` etc.
which reflect the inner workings of cascaded filters. This was
unfortunate for reading/understanding the source code for actions where
the focus is the journal as a whole.
* Aristo: Fix buffer overflow (path length truncating error)
* Aristo: Tighten `hikeUp()` stop check, update error code
why:
Detect dangling vertex links. These are legit with `snap` sync
processing but not with regular processing.
* Aristo: Raise assert in regular mode `merge()` at a dangling link/edge
why:
With `snap` sync processing, partial trees are ok and can be amended.
Not so in regular mode.
Previously there was only a debug message when a non-legit dangling edge
was encountered.
* Aristo: Make sure that vertices are copied before modification
why:
Otherwise vertices from lower layers might also be modified
* Aristo: Fix relaxed mode for validity checker `check()`
* Remove cruft
* Aristo: Update API for transaction handling
details:
+ Split `aristo_tx.nim` into sub-modules
+ Split `forkWith()` into `findTx()` + `forkTx()`
+ Removed `forkTop()`, `forkBase()` (now superseded by new `forkTx()`)
* CoreDb+Aristo: Fix initialiser (missing methods)
* Aristo: Allow to define/set `FilterID` for journal filter records
why:
After some changes, the `FilterID` is isomorphic to the `BlockNumber`
scalar (well, the first 2^64 entries of a `BlockNumber`.)
The needed change for `FilterID` is that the `FilterID(0)` value is
valid part of the `FilterID` scalar. A non-valid `FilterID` entry is
represented by `none(FilterID)`.
* Aristo: Split off function `persist()` as persistent version of `stow()`
why:
In production, `stow(persistent=false,..)` is currently unused. So,
using `persist()` rather than `stow(persistent=true,..)` improves
readability and is better to maintain.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Store block numbers in journal records
why:
This makes journal records searchable by block numbers
* Aristo: Rename some journal related functions
why:
The name *journal* is more appropriate to api functions than something
with *fifo* or *filter*.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Update last/oldest journal state retrieval
* CoreDb+Aristo: Register block number with state root in journal
why:
No need anymore for extra lookup table `stRootToBlockNum` which maps
a storage root -> block number.
* Aristo: Remove unused function `getFilUbe()` from api
* CoreDb: Remove now unused virtual table `stRootToBlockNum`
why:
Was used to map a state root to a block number. This functionality
is now embedded into the recovery journal backend.
* Turn of API tracking (will fail on `fluffy`)
* Aristo: Code cosmetics, e.g. update some CamelCase names
* CoreDb+Aristo: Provide oldest known state root implied
details:
The Aristo journal allows to recover earlier but not all state roots.
* Aristo: Fix journal backward index operator, e.g. `[^1]`
* Aristo: Fix journal updater
why:
The `fifosStore()` store function slightly misinterpreted the update
instructions when translation is to database `put()` functions. The
effect was that the journal was ever growing due to stale entries which
were never deleted.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Provide utils for purging stale data from the KVT
details:
See earlier patch, not all state roots are available. This patch
provides a mapping from some state root to a block number and allows to
remove all KVT data related to a particular block number
* Aristo+Kvt: Implement a clean up schedule for expired data in KVT
why:
For a single state ledger like `Aristo`, there is only a limited
backlog of states. So KVT data (i.e. headers etc.) are cleaned up
regularly
* Fix copyright year
* 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
* Suspend `snap` sync tests
why:
Snap needs to be updated. While this is not done, tests are obsolete
and eat up memory resources only
* Suspend rocks DB timing tests
why:
Currently of no use for general test suite.
* Mothballed unused evm code for opportunistic DB handling
why:
Needs to be refactored anyway. Uses hard coded protocol dependencies.
* Update `eth` protocol configuration
why:
+ new upcoming version `eth68`
+ prepare for eth-multi protocol stack support
* Strip the `legacy_` prefix from eth66 compiler flag variable
why:
Being it is an oddity having `eth67_enabled`, `eth68_enabled`, and
`legacy_eth_66_enabled`.
* Providing eth68 stubs
* Fix copyright year
* Fix eth68 stub method name
* 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.
* Remove cruft
* Docu/code cosmetics
* Aristo: Update `forkBase()`
why:
Was not up to the job
* Update/correct tracer for running against `Aristo`
details:
This patch makes sure that before creating a new `BaseVMState` the
`CoreDb` context is adjusted to accommodate for the state root that
is passed to the `BaseVMState` constructor.
* CpreDb+legacy: Always return current context with `ctxFromTx()`
why:
There was an experimental setting trying to find the node with the
proper setting in the KVT (not the hexary tie layer) which currently
does not work reliable, probably due to `Ledger` caching effects.
* Aristo: Provide descriptor fork based on search in transaction stack
details:
Try to find the tx that has a particular pair `(vertex-id,hash-key)`,
and by extension try filter and backend if the former fails.
* Cleanup & docu
* CoreDb+Aristo: Implement context re-position to earlier in-memory state
why:
It is a easy way to explore how there can be concurrent access to the
same backend storage DB with different view states. This one can access
an earlier state from the transaction stack.
* CoreDb+Aristo: Populate tracer stubs with real functionality
* Update `tracer.nim` to new API
why:
Legacy API does not sufficiently support `Aristo`
* Fix logging problems in tracer
details:
Debug logging turned off by default
* Fix function prototypes
* Add Copyright header
* Add tables import
why:
For older compiler versions on CI
* 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
* Fix 'value out of range' RangeDefect caused by large/expensive blocks/transactions during DOS period.
* Clear witness cache in AccountCache persist.
* Revert previous fix and force clear cache after processing each block.
* Revert clear cache in process block.
* CoreDb+Ledger: Update logging
why:
Use symbol `api` rather than `ctx` because the latter will be used
as name for particular objects
* CoreDb: Remove cruft
* CoreDb: Remove `TxID` support
why:
It is nowhere used and ugly implemented. The upcoming context layer
will be a cleaner alternative to use, instead should this particular
functionality be needed.
* CoreDb: Rearrange base methods in source code for better reading
* CoreDb+Aristo: Update API closures for better reading & maintenance
* CoreDb: Implement context layer for MPT
why:
On `Aristo` the context layer allows to manage different views on
the same backend database. This is an abstraction of the legacy
hexary trie which can be localised on a particular root nose.
details:
The `ctx` context provides the state (equiv. to state root) of the
database for MPT and account descriptors.
* Fix Copyright headers
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
* CoreDb: Provide default db backend symbols
why:
Handy for running `Aristo` against standard tests
note:
These defaults are currently set to legacy DB types. The must be
enabled manually in `db/core_db.nim`.
* Provide `Aristo` for macro assembler related tests
caveat:
Some tests use `initStorageTrie()` which lets `Aristo` bail out. The
test need to run on `distinct_ledgers` (or something like) rather than
`distinct_tries`.
* Tests: Misc modules that can run on `Aristo` as well
* NoHive: Module that can run on `Aristo` as well
* Fix copyright year
* ditto
* Aristo: Reorg `hashify()` using different schedule algorithm
why:
Directly calculating the search tree top down from the roots turns
out to be faster than using the cached structures left over by `merge()`
and `delete()`.
Time gains is short of 20%
* Aristo: Remove `lTab[]` leaf entry object type
why:
Not used anymore. It was previously needed to build the schedule for
`hashify()`.
* Aristo: Avoid unnecessary re-org of the vertex ID recycling list
why:
This list can become quite large so a heuristic is employed whether
it makes sense to re-org.
Also, re-org check is only done by `delete()` functions.
* Aristo: Remove key/reverse lookup table from tx layers
why:
It is ignored except for handling proof nodes and costs unnecessary
run time resources.
This feature was originally needed to accommodate the mental transition
from the legacy MPT to the `Aristo` trie :).
* Fix copyright year
