It is only (mostly) a skeleton, not further developed and not
used. It is unlikely the way forward either when further
developing the Portal state network.
* Reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Fluffy and Nimbus proxy
Mostly raises Defect removals, TaintedString removal and some
unnecessary imports.
Also updating the copyright years alongside.
* Further reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Nimbus
Portal master accumulator was removed from the network specs as a
content type shared on the network, as since the merge this is
a finite accumulator (pre-merge only).
So in this PR the accumulator gets removed as network type and
gets instead baked into the library. Building it is done by
seperate tooling (eth_data_exporter).
Because of this a lot of extra code can be removed that was
located in history_network, content_db, portal_protocol, etc.
Also removed to option to build the accumulator at start-up
of fluffy as this takes several minutes making it not viable.
It can still be loaded from a provided file however.
The ssz accumulator file is for now stored in the recently
created portal-spec-tests repository.
- More consistent naming in calls used by the JSON-RPC debug API
- Use storeContent everywhere to make sure content is only stored
if in range
- Remove populateHistoryDb subcommand and replace by JSON-RPC call
storeContent
- Remove some whitespace and fix some indentations
Default the network key will be taken from a network key file
instead of randomly generated on each run. This is done because
the data that gets stored in the content database is dependant on
the network key used, as the node id is derived from this.
- Add portal network ping and findNodes JSON-RPC endpoints
- clean-up of some cli arguments
- Add protocol_interop.md document and adjust/fix other
documentation
Currently bootstrap nodes for discv5 and for the Portal nodes
were provided through separate cli arguments. This is however
confusing and cumbersome as typically when (currently) testing
a node will have both discv5 and the Portal networks enabled.
We merge them into one argument.
If a node happens not to support a Portal network, it will be
removed after message request failure.
Commit also contains additional clean-up and nim-eth bump.
* Rename FindNode to FindNodes as per spec
* Use consistently lower case starting camelCase for consts
Style guide nep1 allows for both CamelCase and camelCase for
consts, but we seem to use more often camelCase. Using this now
consistently.
* Change some procs to func
* Add a basic ContentDB for Portal networks
* Use ContentDB in StateNetwork
* Avoid probably some form of sandwich problem by re-exporting kvstore_sqlite3 from content_db
* Allow for passing Portal specific bootstrap nodes
* Fix to also replaceNode when decodeMessage fails
* Add portal bootstrap node tests and reorder test cases
