Viktor Kirilov 678a7efaaa moved away from WithState() for the common validator duties in the API - using EpochRef 2020-08-21 11:47:43 +03:00
Jacek Sieka 46c94a18ba rework epoch cache referencing
* collect all epochrefs in specific blocks to make them easier to find
and to avoid lots of small seqs
* reuse validator key databases more aggressively by comparing keys
* make state cache available from within `withState`
* make epochRef available from within onBlockAdded callback
* integrate getEpochInfo into block resolution and epoch ref logic such
that epochrefs are created when blocks are added to pool or lazily when
needed by a getEpochRef
* fill state cache better from EpochRef, speeding up replay and
validation
* store epochRef in specific blocks to make them easier to find and
reuse
* fix database corruption when state is saved while replaying quarantine
* replay slots fully from block pool before processing state
* compare bls values more smartly
* store epoch state without block applied in database - it's recommended
to resync the node!

this branch will drastically speed up processing in times of long
non-finality, as well as cut memory usage by 10x during the recent
medalla madness.

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.

Fork choice fixes 5 (#1381)
* limit attestations kept in attestation pool

With fork choice updated, the attestation pool only needs to keep track
of attestations that will eventually end up in blocks - we can thus
limit the horizon of attestations that we keep more aggressively.

To get here, we expose getEpochRef which gets metadata about a
particular epochref, and make sure to populate it when a block is added
- this ensures that state rewinds during block addition are minimized.

In addition, we'll use the target root/epoch when validating
attestations - this helps minimize the number of different states that
we need to rewind to, in general.

* remove CandidateChains.justifiedState

unused

* remove BlockPools.Head object

* avoid quadratic quarantine loop

* fix

cache block hash (#1329)
hash_tree_root was turning up when running beacon_node, turns out to be
repeated hash_tree_root invocations - this pr brings them back down to
normal.

this PR caches the root of a block in the SignedBeaconBlock object -
this has the potential downside that even invalid blocks will be hashed
(as part of deserialization) - later, one could imagine delaying this
until checks have passed

there's also some cleanup of the `cat=` logs which were applied randomly
and haphazardly, and to a large degree are duplicated by other
information in the log statements - in particular, topics fulfill the
same role

* restore EpochRef and flush statecaches on epoch transitions

* more targeted cache invalidation

* remove get_empty_per_epoch_cache(); implement simpler but still faster get_beacon_proposer_index()/compute_proposer_index() approach; add some abstraction layer for accessing the shuffled validator indices cache

* reduce integer type conversions

Restore compilation with custom presets (#1309)
This also assigns precise types to the constants in the minimal
and mainnet presets in order to reduce the chance of compilation
errors when custom presets are used (previously, only the custom
presets have precisely assigned types for the constants).

Viktor Kirilov 1482b0430d - work towards more REST API endpoints being implemented
- testnets can now be launched with a separate validator client - make altona SCRIPT_PARAMS="--separateVC"
- reverted the ctrl+C signal handler code reuse - not necessary for the VC anyway (default is good enough)
- added a bit more logging in the VC
- removed unnecessary code in the VC - connect() just parses the address & port...
- fixed a couple more VC issues - when fetching the duties for an epoch fails on the BN side ==> the VC shouldn't be left in a broken state
- documented the currently supported json-rpc endpoints
- added more checks on the BN side for the API - bounds-checking the requests & also checking if the BN itself is synced
- other cleanup

currently a local sim doesn't finalize, but participation in the altona network with a separate VC is painless and works just as well as with in-process validators in a BN

Viktor Kirilov 72dfe7f578 - updated the validator shell script after the keystore changes
- better logging & retrying requests on the VC side if the BN fails for some reason
- VC now fetches the attestation duties 1 epoch in advance - in the future it will tell the BN to subscribe to the appropriate attestation topics in advance based on that info
- a bunch of other code cleanup & fixes such as better naming for consoles when using multitail, etc.

reviewed in PR #1184 - proper review of the API & VC are pending

Viktor Kirilov e7febc2e2b can finalize successfully with external VCs! + some other cleanup 2020-06-10 13:50:50 +03:00
Viktor Kirilov 3bae40ae91 - extracted the commands to run a VC into a separate run_validator.sh script
- 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

Viktor Kirilov cefd525ab3 more work on the BN/VC split
- fixed comments from the last review
- getting more data VIA RPC, moved some code back into the BN only
- attestation duties being requested as well
2020-05-28 13:01:42 +03:00
Viktor Kirilov 8760494c72 first batch of work towards the VC/BN split:
- 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
