* Revert "Revert "Upgrade database schema" (#2570)"
This reverts commit 6057c2ffb4.
* ssz: fix loading empty lists into existing instances
Not a problem earlier because we didn't reuse instances
* bump nim-eth
* bump nim-web3
The `kvstore` design we're using now turns out to not be the best way to
use `sqlite` - in particular, there are some significant benefits to
using rowid in certain situations and to keep data in separate tables.
With this branch, there are massive improvements in startup time
(seconds instead of minutes) and state/block storage and pruning times
(milliseconds instead of seconds) - these improvements can in particular
be seen on slow drives and translate directly into better attestation
performance.
* update kvstore to new keyspace design
* remove `DirStoreRef` and the hidden `--state-db-kind` option - this
was an experiment to store large blobs in files, but with the new
kvstore, there's no compelling reason to do so
* remove `DbMap` - unused and would need updating for new keyspace
design
* introduce separate tables for each data type (blocks, states etc)
* remove "WITHOUT ROWID" pessimization for tables with large blobs
* close DbSeq statements explicitly (and earlier)
* store beacon block summaries in separate table, without SSZ
compression and load them all with single query on startup
* stop storing backwards compat full states
* mark genesis beacon block as trusted
* avoid faststreams when loading SSZ data
* remove `DisagreementBehavior` (unused)
This PR reduces the number of database queries for slashing protection
from 5 reads and 1 write to 2 reads and 1 write in the optimistic case.
In the process, it removes user-level support for writing the database
in the version 1 format in order to simplify the code flow, and prevent
code rot. In particular, the v1 format was not covered by any unit tests
and has no advantages over v2. The concrete code to read and write it
remains for now, in particular to support upgrades from v1 to v2.
The branch also removes the use of concepts which doesn't work with
checked exceptions - in particular, this highlights code that both
raises exceptions and returns error codes, which could be cleaned up in
the future.
* Cache internal validator ID
* Rely on unique index to check for trivial duplicate votes
* Combine two surround vote queries into one
* Combine API for checking and registering slashing into single function
The slashing DB is normally not a bottleneck, but may become one with
high attached validator counts.
* Add default port info
* Add default port info
* Edit CLI and docs to reflect 9000 port
* Apply suggestions from code review

* fix several memory leaks due to temporaries not being reset during
init
* avoid massive main() function with lots of stuff in it
* disable nim-prompt (unused)
* reuse validator pool instance in eth2_processor
* style cleanup
* allow always-on subscription to all attestation subnets when gossiping
* in subscribe-all-subnets mode, consider all subnets to be stability subnets for ENR purposes
* increase default max peers
also avoid reconnection when opening stream as this might induce
a loop
* Use dial without addresses
* dial back max peers a little
* Concentrate all sensitive writeFile/createPath calls in one place.
Fix eth2_network_simulation for Windows.
* Remove artifacts.
* fix import

* Syncing workers now not bound to peers.
Sync status is now printed in statusbar.
* Add `SyncQueue.outSlot` to statusbar too.
* Add `inRangeEvent` and `rangeAge` parameter.
* Fix rangeAge is not depends on SyncQueue latest slot.
Fix syncManager to start from latest local head slot.
* Add notInRange event.
* Remove suspects field.
- delete "tests/simulation/{data,validators}" by default, because old
validator keys can lead to a crash with a cryptic error message
- actually start the Prometheus daemon on `make eth2_network_simulation`
- kill any running Prometheus daemon on exit
- fix some shell script syntax incompatible with Bash
* don't write blocks that get added to database
* don't write states
* write to folders
* add state dumping feature to `ncli_db` to get any known state from the
database
- each BN gets half of its previous validators as inProcess and the other half goes to the respective VC for that BN - using separate data dirs where the keys are copied
- also removed a few command line options which are no longer necessary
- block proposals originating from a VC are propagated from one BN to the rest properly
- other cleanup & moving code back to since it is no longer used elsewhere
These are the 3 most important things in the life of a beacon-node -
finalization checkpoint for security, head + time for seeing that we're
synced and working.
The order given is the expected increasing order that things should be
moving in - finalization lags head, and head lags clock - the structure
helps the user remember, but also see the pattern where time is getting
out of sync with head.
A validator would also want to know when the next action is going to be
(ie next attestation / block production) but that's for another day.
* be stricter about SSZ length prefix
* compute zeroHash list at compile time
* remove SSZ schema stuff
* move SSZ navigation to ncli
* cleanup a few leftover openArray uses
- we have a new binary which connects via RPC to the respective BN and has an internal clock - waking it up on every slot
- the BN has a new option called --external-validators and currently in order to have the VC binaries to run we need to pass EXTERNAL_VALIDATORS=yes to make
- factored some code out of beacon_node.nim for easier reuse in validator_api.nim and validator_client.nim
- the VC loads its associated private keys from the datadir for its BN
- most of the validator API calls have been implemented as a stub.
- the VC polls its BN at the start of each epoch - getting a list of all active validators for the current epoch - and then continues to request blocks and sign them with its appropriate validators when necessary
Please see the newly added 'schlesi-dev' Makefile target.
It demonstrates how the log level can be specified for individual topics.
Additionally, when connecting to testnets like 'schlesi' there will be
two additional log files produced in the working directory:
* json-log.txt
* text-log.txt (in the textblocks format)
* The bootstrap_nodes.txt file in the node's data dir is now optional
* Log more data on start-up
* Use the latest ENR APIs
* Fix simulation build errors
We no longer discriminate between ENR, MultiAddress or ENode
bootstrap records (all of them are remapped to ENodes).
The discovery loop will stochastically try to reconnect to
accidentally disconnected nodes.
* add interop launcher scripts
* stick validator_keygen into beacon_node
* fix lmd ghost slot number on missing block
* use mocked eth1data when producing blocks
* use bls public key method for withdrawal credentials
* fix deposit domain
* prefer lowercase for a bunch of toHex
* build simulation binary in data folder to avoid data types confusion
* On the testnet site, the first N instead of the last N validators
will be considered reserved for users
* The number of validators is consistently named `totalValidators`
in all commands
* Proper keys are generated by default in validator_keygen
With these changes, running a simulation is very close to running
an actual testnet. Some checks have been added in the client to
make sure you are not connecting to an incompatible network (e.g.
a network running with a different number of shards).
* allow running more or fewer validators
* use deterministic key generation for tests to avoid exhausting system
RNG
* update README with simulator docs
* write the data of each validator to separate file, instead of a big
chainstart.json (makes it easier to run different validator counts)
You'll need the latest versions of nim-eth-p2p, nim-serialization
and nim-json-serialization.
Before starting the simulation script, make sure to delete any previous
json files from the simulation folder:
```
rm tests/simulation/*.json
tests/simulation/start.sh
```
This should survive the creation of few blocks before diying with a
block validation error.
* spec updates
* balances move out to separate seq
* bunch of placeholders for proof-of-custody / phase1
* fix inclusion distance adjustment
* modify state in-place in `updateState` (tests spent over 80% time
copying state! now it's down to 25-50)
* document several conditions and conversations
* some renames here and there to follow spec
