#   Figure 2
#   An individual validator ν MUST NOT publish two distinct votes,
#   〈ν,s1,t1,h(s1),h(t1) AND〈ν,s2,t2,h(s2),h(t2)〉,
#   such that either:
#   I. h(t1) = h(t2).
#      Equivalently, a validator MUST NOT publish two distinct votes for the same target height.
#   OR
#   II. h(s1) < h(s2) < h(t2) < h(t1).
#      Equivalently, a validator MUST NOT vote within the span of its other votes.
# - Vitalik's annotated spec: https://github.com/ethereum/annotated-spec/blob/d8c51af84f9f309d91c37379c1fcb0810bc5f10a/phase0/beacon-chain.md#proposerslashing
#   1. A proposer can get slashed for signing two distinct headers at the same slot.
#   2. An attester can get slashed for signing
#      two attestations that together violate
#      the Casper FFG slashing conditions.

# Relaxation for Nimbus
#
# We are not building a slashing detector but only protecting
# attached validator from slashing, hence we make the following assumptions
#
# 1. We only need to store specific validators signed blocks and attestations
# 2. We assume that our node is synced past
#    the last finalized epoch
#    hence we only need to keep track of blocks and attestations
#    since the last finalized epoch and we don't need to care
#    about the weak subjectivity period.
#    i.e. if `Node.isSynced()` returns false
#    a node skips its validator duties and doesn't invoke slashing protection.
#    and `isSynced` syncs at least up to the blockchain last finalized epoch.
#
# Hence the database or key-value store should support
#
# Queries
# 1. db.signedBlockExistsFor(validator, slot) -> bool
# 2. db.attestationExistsFor(validator, target_epoch) -> bool
# 3. db.attestationSurrounding(validator, source_epoch, target_epoch)
# 4. db.attestationSurrounded(validator, source_epoch, target_epoch)
#
# Update
# 1. db.registerBlock(validator, slot, block_root)
# 2. db.registerAttestation(validator, source_epoch, target_epoch, attestation_root)
#
# Maintenance
# 1. db.prune(finalized_epoch)
#
# Interop
# 1. db.import(json)
# 2. db.export(json)
# 3. db.export(json, validator)
# 4. db.export(json, seq[validator])
#
# Additionally after EIP3067 slashing protection requires
# a "low watermark" protection that can be used
# instead of keeping track of the whole history (and allows pruning)
# In that case we need the following queries
#
# 1. db.signedBlockMinimalSlot (EIP3067 condition 2)
# 2. db.signedAttMinimalSourceEpoch (EIP3067 condition 4)
# 3. db.signedAttMinimalTargetEpoch (EIP3067 condition 5)

# Technical Discussion
# --------------------------------------------
#
# TODO: Merge with BeaconChainDB?
# - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21844479/multiple-databases-vs-single-database-with-logically-partitioned-data
#
# Reasons for merging
# - Single database
#
# Reasons for not merging
# - BeaconChainDB is about the beacon node itself
#   while slashing protection is about validators
# - BeaconChainDB is append-only
#   while slashing protection will be pruned
#   at each finalization.
#   Hence we might want different backend in the future
# - In a VC/BN split configuration the slashing protection
#   may be better attached to the VC. (VC: Validator Client, BN: Beacon Node)
# - The slashing protection DB only held cryptographic hashes
#   and epoch/slot integers which are uncompressible
#   while BeaconChainDB is snappy-compressed.

# SQLite primitives
# --------------------------------------------
# For now we choose to enforce the SQLite backend as a DB (and not a KV-Store)
#
# Cons
# 1. Harder to switch away from a DB than from a KV-Store
#
# Pros
# 1. No need for adhoc per-validator range queries implementation using LinkedList
#    with high potential of bug (as found in audit)
# 2. uses robust and fuzzed SQLite codepath
# 3. Straightforward pruning
# 4. Can be maintained and inspected with standard tooling
#
# In particular the following query leads to complex code with a KV store
#
# Select 1 from attestations
# where validator = '0x1234ABCDEF'
# AND (
#   -- Don't publish distinct vote for the same target
#   (target_epoch = candidate_target_epoch)
#   -- surrounded vote
#   OR
#   (source_epoch < candidate_source_epoch and candidate_target_epoch < target_epoch)
#   -- surrounding vote
#   OR
#   (candidate_source_epoch < source_epoch and target_epoch < candidate_target_epoch)
# )
#
# Note, with SQLite splitting into multiple small queries is also efficient
# as it is embedded in the application: https://www.sqlite.org/np1queryprob.html

# Future optimizations
# --------------------------------------------
# To limit disk IO we might want to keep a data-structure in memory.
# Surround voting detection is very similar to:
# - Collision detection in games
# - point of interest localisation in geographical DBs or maps
#
# A reasonable acceleration structure would be:
# - O(log n) for adding new attestations
# - O(log n) to check for surround voting.
# - O(n) space usage
#
# Suitable inspirations may be:
# - Bounding Volume Hierarchy and Axis-ligned Bounding Boxes from collision detection
# - R-Trees from geospatial data processing and maps
# - Kd-Trees from both
# - less common structures like quadtrees and octrees
#
