Fixes#3940Fixes#3964Closes#3884 by adding test
In order to avoid full replays when validating attestations hailing from
untaken forks, it's better to keep shufflings separate from `EpochRef`
and perform a lookahead on the shuffling when processing the block that
determines them.
This also helps performance in the case where REST clients are trying to
perform lookahead on attestation duties and decreases memory usage by
sharing shufflings between EpochRef instances of the same dependent
root.
Other changes:
* The Keymanager error responses differ from the Beacon API responses.
'keymanagerApiError' replaces the former usages of 'jsonError'.
* Return status code 401 and 403 for authorization errors in accordance
to the spec.
* Eliminate inconsistencies in the REST JSON parsing. Some of the code
paths allowed missing fields.
* Added logging of serialization failure details at DEBUG level.
Whether new blocks/attestations/etc are produced internally or received
via REST, their journey through the node is the same - to ensure that
they get the same treatment (logging, metrics, processing), this PR
moves the routing to a dedicated module and fixes several small
differences that existed before.
* `xxxValidator` -> `processMessageName` - the processor also was adding
messages to pools, so we want the name to reflect that action
* add missing "sent" metrics for some messages
* document ignore policy better - already-seen messages are not actaully
rebroadcast by libp2p
* skip redundant signature checks for internal validators consistently
The justified and finalized `Checkpoint` are frequently passed around
together. This introduces a new `FinalityCheckpoint` data structure that
combines them into one.
Due to the large usage of this structure in fork choice, also took this
opportunity to update fork choice tests to the latest v1.2.0-rc.1 spec.
Many additional tests enabled, some need more work, e.g. EL mock blocks.
Also implemented `discard_equivocations` which was skipped in #3661,
and improved code reuse across fork choice logic while at it.
* optimistic sync
* flag that initially loaded blocks from database might need execution block root filled in
* return optimistic status in REST calls
* refactor blockslot pruning
* ensure beacon_blocks_by_{root,range} do not provide optimistic blocks
* handle forkchoice head being pre-merge with block being postmerge
* re-enable blocking head updates on validator duties
* fix is_optimistic_candidate_block per spec; don't crash with nil future
* fix is_optimistic_candidate_block per spec; don't crash with nil future
* mark blocks sans execution payloads valid during head update
Combines the LC data configuration options (serve / importMode), the
callbacks (finality / optimistic LC update) as well as the cache storing
light client data, into a new `LightClientDataStore` structure.
Also moves the structure into a light client specific file.
* Initial commit
* Make `events` API spec compliant.
* Add `Eth-Consensus-Version` in responses.
* Bump chronos to get redirect with headers working.
* Add `is_optimistic` field and handling to syncing RestSyncInfo.
* adopt LC REST API with v0 suffix (without proofs)
Adopts the light client data REST API used by Lodestar as defined in
https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/181 with a v0 suffix.
Requests:
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/bootstrap/{block_root}`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/updates?start_period={start_period}&count={count}`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/finality_update`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/optimistic_update`
HTTP Server-Sent Events (SSE):
- `light_client_finality_update_v0`
- `light_client_optimistic_update_v0`
More work is needed to adopt the proofs endpoint, it is not included.
* initialize event queues
* register event topics
* check for and log gossip broadcast failure
* switch notices to warns; update LC variables regardless
* don't both return a Result and log sending error
* add metrics counter for failed-due-to-no-peers and removed unnecessary async
* don't report failure of sync committee messages
* remove redundant metric
* document metric being incremented
* SSZ `[]` -> `mitem`
* `[]` -> `item`
immutable access via mutable instance cannot rely on template
overloading, and `[]` cannot be a `func` because of special seq handling
in compiler.
* remove deprecated JSON-RPC server
* keep the command-line options around as no-ops, temporarily
* service -> server; JSON-RPC is still used elsewhere
Other changes:
* logtrace can now verify sync committee messages and contributions
* Many unnecessary use of pairs() have been removed for consistency
* Map 40x BN response codes to BeaconNodeStatus.Incompatible in the VC
Other fixes:
* Fix bit rot in the `make prater-dev-deposit` target.
* Correct content-type in the responses of the Nimbus signing node
* Invalid JSON payload was being sent in the web3signer requests
Updated outdated presets / configs / REST config to v1.1.10 specs.
- `TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH_ACTIVATION_EPOCH` and `PROPOSER_SCORE_BOOST` are
not yet used in `eth2-networks`, added configurability as TODOs.
- `MIN_ANCHOR_POW_BLOCK_DIFFICULTY` is no longer needed, put on ignore
list as some Altair devnets still reference it.
Some upstream repos still need fixes, but this gets us close enough that
style hints can be enabled by default.
In general, "canonical" spellings are preferred even if they violate
nep-1 - this applies in particular to spec-related stuff like
`genesis_validators_root` which appears throughout the codebase.
* harden validator API against pre-finalized slot requests
* check `syncHorizon` when responding to validator api requests too far
from `head`
* limit state-id based requests to one epoch ahead of `head`
* put historic data bounds on block/attestation/etc validator production API, preventing them from being used with already-finalized slots
* add validator block smoke tests
* make rest test create a new genesis with the tests running roughly in
the first epoch to allow testing a few more boundary conditions
Up til now, the block dag has been using `BlockRef`, a structure adapted
for a full DAG, to represent all of chain history. This is a correct and
simple design, but does not exploit the linearity of the chain once
parts of it finalize.
By pruning the in-memory `BlockRef` structure at finalization, we save,
at the time of writing, a cool ~250mb (or 25%:ish) chunk of memory
landing us at a steady state of ~750mb normal memory usage for a
validating node.
Above all though, we prevent memory usage from growing proportionally
with the length of the chain, something that would not be sustainable
over time - instead, the steady state memory usage is roughly
determined by the validator set size which grows much more slowly. With
these changes, the core should remain sustainable memory-wise post-merge
all the way to withdrawals (when the validator set is expected to grow).
In-memory indices are still used for the "hot" unfinalized portion of
the chain - this ensure that consensus performance remains unchanged.
What changes is that for historical access, we use a db-based linear
slot index which is cache-and-disk-friendly, keeping the cost for
accessing historical data at a similar level as before, achieving the
savings at no percievable cost to functionality or performance.
A nice collateral benefit is the almost-instant startup since we no
longer load any large indicies at dag init.
The cost of this functionality instead can be found in the complexity of
having to deal with two ways of traversing the chain - by `BlockRef` and
by slot.
* use `BlockId` instead of `BlockRef` where finalized / historical data
may be required
* simplify clearance pre-advancement
* remove dag.finalizedBlocks (~50:ish mb)
* remove `getBlockAtSlot` - use `getBlockIdAtSlot` instead
* `parent` and `atSlot` for `BlockId` now require a `ChainDAGRef`
instance, unlike `BlockRef` traversal
* prune `BlockRef` parents on finality (~200:ish mb)
* speed up ChainDAG init by not loading finalized history index
* mess up light client server error handling - this need revisiting :)
One more step on the journey to reduce `BlockRef` usage across the
codebase - this one gets rid of `StateData` whose job was to keep track
of which block was last assigned to a state - these duties have now been
taken over by `latest_block_root`, a fairly recent addition that
computes this block root from state data (at a small cost that should be
insignificant)
99% mechanical change.
* fewer deps on `BlockRef` traversal in anticipation of pruning
* allows identifying EpochRef:s by their shuffling as a first step of
* tighten error handling around missing blocks
using the zero hash for signalling "missing block" is fragile and easy
to miss - with checkpoint sync now, and pruning in the future, missing
blocks become "normal".
