The V1 table structure shows great improvements in performance, but if
there's an old `kvstore` without rowid:s, these benefits are nullified:
reorgs during writes and deletes remain expensive (even if the
degradation is reduced somewhat).
This PR creates the tables in a new file instead, and uses the old file
as a read-only store - this has several interesting properties:
* the old database is left completely untouched - this guarantees that
downgrades work smooth (they'll only need to resync their missing
portions)
* starting sync after this PR means only a v1 database is created
* v0 databases stick around - no migration is performed (for now)
Future PR:s can introduce migration of the data from one database to
another - a simply copy will take hours which is downtime we want to
avoid - at that point, it might make sense to migrate straight to era
files instead.
* Error when specifying an invalid --data-dir (or --validator-dir)
* Error when entering an invalid validator public key (e.g. invalid hex value)
* Warning when attempting to export a validator not present in the local database
Some unnecessary remains of the v1 mode has been removed as well
* 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
This is a minimal performance hotfix for the kvstore table, such that
new databases get a kvstore table with rowid, fixing the most urgent
performance problem we have with pruning.
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)
* Introduce unittest2 and junit reports
* fix XML path
* don't combine multiple CI runs
* fixup
* public combined report also

This is a revamp of the attestation pool that cleans up several aspects
of attestation processing as the network grows larger and block space
becomes more precious.
The aim is to better exploit the divide between attestation subnets and
aggregations by keeping the two kinds separate until it's time to either
produce a block or aggregate. This means we're no longer eagerly
combining single-vote attestations, but rather wait until the last
moment, and then try to add singles to all aggregates, including those
coming from the network.
Importantly, the branch improves on poor aggregate quality and poor
attestation packing in cases where block space is running out.
A basic greed scoring mechanism is used to select attestations for
blocks - attestations are added based on how much many new votes they
bring to the table.
* Collect single-vote attestations separately and store these until it's
time to make aggregates
* Create aggregates based on single-vote attestations
* Select _best_ aggregate rather than _first_ aggregate when on
aggregation duty
* Top up all aggregates with singles when it's time make the attestation
cut, thus improving the chances of grabbing the best aggregates out
there
* Improve aggregation test coverage
* Improve bitseq operations
* Simplify aggregate signature creation
* Make attestation cache temporary instead of storing it in attestation
pool - most of the time, blocks are not being produced, no need to keep
the data around
* Remove redundant aggregate storage that was used only for RPC
* Use tables to avoid some linear seeks when looking up attestation data
* Fix long cleanup on large slot jumps
* Avoid some pointers
* Speed up iterating all attestations for a slot (fixes#2490)
* update some v1.1.0 alpha1 to alpha2
* remove unused getDepositMessage overload and move other out of datatypes/base
* bump nim-eth2-scenarios to download v1.1.0-alpha.2 test vectors
* construct object rather than result
Since quite a lot of additional procs were now compiled as generics, this lead to compiler bugs that had
to be worked-around:
* The `Domain` type was renamed to `Eth2Domain` to avoid compilation errors
due to conflicts with `nativesockets.Domain`.
Similarly, `eth2_network.KeyPair` was renamed to `NetKeyPair`.
* A new more robust version of `hexToByteArray` was added to stew
This commit introduces `unittest2`, driven by the need to fix several
long-standing issues with `unittest`, in particular exception handling,
test isolation, timing and others.
Upgrading to `unittest2` generally requires updating the unittest import
and potentially fixing the code to support the new `one-proc-per-test`
setup.
* nim-unittest2 has been moved from Stefans repository to status-im -
https://github.com/status-im/nim-unittest2/pull/2 fixes some exception
handling issues and brings it in line with latest nim devel - a notable
difference to unittest is that each test is run inside a proc which
gives it a fresh stack and removes a lot of globals, meaning tests
should run under conditions more similar to "normal" code and interfere
with each other less - this is a crucial first step to improving the
testing experience in general, that stefan implemented for the
multithreading support
* the multithreading in unittest2 is optional, and disabled by default
* nim-testutils contains utilities for fuzzing, as well as other
"large:ish" features that have dependencies -
https://github.com/status-im/nim-testutils/pull/27 pulls in unittest2 so
unittest2 can be kept "low-dependency"
* nim-chronos needs the above unittest changes to test its own new,
stricter exception handling -
https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos/pull/166 - the strictess
introduced is expected to increase with time
* Create CLI tool for slashing export
* Use SQLite as a DB instead of a KV-store
* Keeps v1 and v2 DBs around
* Uses the same schema as Lighthouse v1.1.0
* Passes all interchange tests + skeleton of finalization pruning
* Removes tests that would violate v5 / minimal slashing DB and MinSlot rules
* Migration tool added using low-watermark scheme for faster migration of large number of validators
* bump submodules
* undo a couple of bumps (32-bit failure)
* launch_local_testnet.sh: timeout and various fixes
* undo nim-http-utils bump (breaks RPC for VC)
* use `idleAsync` to more evenly divide cpu attention when syncing in
particular - this gives networking better latency
* more strict exception handling in eth2_processor
* remove await/async from sub/unsub
* fix unsubscribe wrong key (missed _snappy)
* use the right libp2p commit hash
* remove unused async
* fix inspector
* fix subnet calculation in RPC and insert broadcast attestations into node's pool
* unify codepaths to ensure only mostly-checked-to-be-valid attestations enter the pool, even from node's own broadcasts
* update attestation pool tests for new validateAttestation param

* checkpoint database at end of each slot
To avoid spending time on synchronizing with the file system while doing
processing, the manual checkpointing mode turns off fsync during
processing and instead checkpoints the database when the slot has ended.
From an sqlite perspecitve, in WAL mode this guaranees database
consistency but may lead to data loss which is fine - anything missing
from the beacon chain database can be recovered on the next startup.
* log sync status and delay in slot start message
* bump
* bump BLST

...when there's a race.
* avoid connection spamming
* never decrease SeenTable timeout

* Handle some web3 timeouts better
* Add support for developer .env files
* Eth1 improvements; Mainnet genesis state
Notable changes:
* The deposits table have been removed from the database. The client
will no longer process all deposits on start-up.
* The network metadata now includes a "state snapshot" of the deposit
contract. This allows the client to skip syncing deposits made prior
to the snapshot (i.e. genesis). Suitable metadata added for Pyrmont
and Mainnet.
* The Eth1 monitor won't be started unless there are validators attached
to the node.
* The genesis detection code is now optional and disabled by default
* Bugfix: The client should not produce blocks that will fail validation
when it hasn't downloaded the latest deposits yet
* Bugfix: Work around the database corruption affecting Pyrmont nodes
* Remove metadata for Toledo and Medalla
* log when database is loading (to avoid confusion)
* generate network keys later during startup
* fix quarantine not scheduling chain of parents for download and
increase size to one epoch
* log validator count, enr and peerid more clearly on startup
This reverts commit 63173ab2c1.
It appears the cluster is having trouble staying connected - since the culprit is unknown, this is a first step on the way to what was stable.
Notably, this does not fully revert libp2p itself, merely the gossip version.
* Concentrate all sensitive writeFile/createPath calls in one place.
Fix eth2_network_simulation for Windows.
* Remove artifacts.

this resolves some peer counting issues that were happening because the
lifetime future in PeerInfo was unreliable (multiple PeerInfo instances
existed per peer)
In addition, this solves another race condition: when connecting to a
peer and later dialling that protocol, it is not certain that the same
connection will be used if there's a concurrent incoming peer connection
ongoing - better not make too many assumptions about who sent statuses
when.
