cleanup unused chaindag epoch features
these are somewhat obsoleted by the more extensive use of EpochRef

remove one cache, add another (#1449)
* remove one cache, add another

This cache removes the need for rewinding in most attestation validation
flow since the attestations come from one of two epochs and must be
targetting a viable block.

Additionally, it also removes all state caches which are less likely to
be used over-all - more metrics are needed to track the rewinding.

On risk is that when chains don't finalize, we'll have lots of epochrefs
in memory meaning lots of validator key databases, most being exactly
the same. This can be addressed in any number of ways. Some of the
memory usage is mitigated by the fact that we previously had lots of big
state caches and now we're keeping only keys instead.

* cleanups

* doc

cache beacon proposer indices (#1440)
also clear old epochrefs as they're growing unwieldy

in particular, this speeds up gossip block validation by avoiding the
rewind

Dustin Brody c142de4b7f be more consistent about pubkeys fed to verify_foo_signature() not being separately initialized, while pubkeys, generally, used for matching purposes, elsewhere explicitly initialized 2020-08-04 23:00:33 +03:00
Jacek Sieka c6674de5d2 use epoch ref to update fork choice
this dramatically speeds up startup in long periods of non-finality

renamed CandidateChains to ChainDagRef and made the Quarantine type a ref type so there is a single instance in the beacon node (#1407) 2020-07-31 14:49:06 +00:00
