* ethdb: add Putter interface and Has method
* ethdb: improve docs and add IdealBatchSize
* ethdb: remove memory batch lock
Batches are not safe for concurrent use.
* core: use ethdb.Putter for Write* functions
This covers the easy cases.
* core/state: simplify StateSync
* trie: optimize local node check
* ethdb: add ValueSize to Batch
* core: optimize HasHeader check
This avoids one random database read get the block number. For many uses
of HasHeader, the expectation is that it's actually there. Using Has
avoids a load + decode of the value.
* core: write fast sync block data in batches
Collect writes into batches up to the ideal size instead of issuing many
small, concurrent writes.
* eth/downloader: commit larger state batches
Collect nodes into a batch up to the ideal size instead of committing
whenever a node is received.
* core: optimize HasBlock check
This avoids a random database read to get the number.
* core: use numberCache in HasHeader
numberCache has higher capacity, increasing the odds of finding the
header without a database lookup.
* core: write imported block data using a batch
Restore batch writes of state and add blocks, tx entries, receipts to
the same batch. The change also simplifies the miner.
This commit also removes posting of logs when a forked block is imported.
* core: fix DB write error handling
* ethdb: use RLock for Has
* core: fix HasBlock comment
* ethdb: remove Set
Set deadlocks immediately and isn't part of the Database interface.
* trie: add Err to Iterator
This is useful for testing because the underlying NodeIterator doesn't
need to be kept in a separate variable just to get the error.
* trie: add LeafKey to iterator, panic when not at leaf
LeafKey is useful for callers that can't interpret Path.
* trie: retry failed seek/peek in iterator Next
Instead of failing iteration irrecoverably, make it so Next retries the
pending seek or peek every time.
Smaller changes in this commit make this easier to test:
* The iterator previously returned from Next on encountering a hash
node. This caused it to visit the same path twice.
* Path returned nibbles with terminator symbol for valueNode attached
to fullNode, but removed it for valueNode attached to shortNode. Now
the terminator is always present. This makes Path unique to each node
and simplifies Leaf.
* trie: add Path to MissingNodeError
The light client trie iterator needs to know the path of the node that's
missing so it can retrieve a proof for it. NodeIterator.Path is not
sufficient because it is updated when the node is resolved and actually
visited by the iterator.
Also remove unused fields. They were added a long time ago before we
knew which fields would be needed for the light client.
Storing a value in LevelDB copies the bytes, modifying the value
afterwards does not affect the content of the database. This commit
ensures that MemDatabase satisfies the same property.
