This change makes the StateDB track the state key value diff of a block transition.
We already tracked current account and storage values for the purpose of updating
the state snapshot. With this PR, we now also track the original (pre-transition) values
of accounts and storage slots.
In this PR, all TryXXX(e.g. TryGet) APIs of trie are renamed to XXX(e.g. Get) with an error returned.
The original XXX(e.g. Get) APIs are renamed to MustXXX(e.g. MustGet) and does not return any error -- they print a log output. A future PR will change the behaviour to panic on errorrs.
This change ports some changes from the main PBSS PR:
- get rid of callback function in `trie.Database.Commit` which is not required anymore
- rework the `nodeResolver` in `trie.Iterator` to make it compatible with multiple state scheme
- some other shallow changes in tests and typo-fixes
This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.
This PR enables the indexers to work in light client mode by
downloading a part of these tries (the Merkle proofs of the last
values of the last known section) in order to be able to add new
values and recalculate subsequent hashes. It also adds CHT data to
NodeInfo.
* les, light: fix CHT trie retrievals
* les, light: minor polishes, test remote CHT retrievals
* les, light: deterministic nodeset rlp, bloombits test skeleton
* les: add an event emission to the les bloombits test
* les: drop dead tester code
This PR implements the new LES protocol version extensions:
* new and more efficient Merkle proofs reply format (when replying to
a multiple Merkle proofs request, we just send a single set of trie
nodes containing all necessary nodes)
* BBT (BloomBitsTrie) works similarly to the existing CHT and contains
the bloombits search data to speed up log searches
* GetTxStatusMsg returns the inclusion position or the
pending/queued/unknown state of a transaction referenced by hash
* an optional signature of new block data (number/hash/td) can be
included in AnnounceMsg to provide an option for "very light
clients" (mobile/embedded devices) to skip expensive Ethash check
and accept multiple signatures of somewhat trusted servers (still a
lot better than trusting a single server completely and retrieving
everything through RPC). The new client mode is not implemented in
this PR, just the protocol extension.
