## when we receive messages from various sources, we pass them to the
## processor for validation and routing - the messages are generally
## validated, and if valid, passed on to the various pools, monitors and
## managers to update the state of the application.
##
## Block processing is special in that part of it is done in the
## `BlockProcessor` instead, via a special block processing queue.
##
## Each validating function generally will do a sanity check on the message
## whose purpose is to quickly filter out spam, then will (usually) delegate
## full validation to the proper manager - finally, metrics and monitoring
## are updated.

We can distinguish between two cases where by-root access is useful: * unfinalized blocks - this is where the beacon chain is operating generally, by validating incoming data as interesting for future fork choice decisions - bounded by the length of the unfinalized period * finalized blocks - historical access in the REST API etc - no bounds, really In this PR, we limit the by-root block index to the first use case: finalized chain data can more efficiently be addressed by slot number.
