The `[node_size]` configuration parameter is used to tune various
parameters based on the hardware that the code is running on. The
parameter can take five distinct values: `tiny`, `small`, `medium`,
`large` and `huge`.
The default value in the code is `tiny` but the default configuration
file sets the value to `medium`. This commit attempts to detect the
amount of RAM on the system and adjusts the node size default value
based on the amount of RAM and the number of hardware execution
threads on the system.
The decision matrix currently used is:
| | 1 | 2 or 3 | ≥ 4 |
|:-------:|:----:|:------:|:------:|
| > ~8GB | tiny | tiny | tiny |
| > ~12GB | tiny | small | small |
| > ~16GB | tiny | small | medium |
| > ~24GB | tiny | small | large |
| > ~32GB | tiny | small | huge |
Some systems exclude memory reserved by the the hardware, the kernel
or the underlying hypervisor so the automatic detection code may end
up determining the node_size to be one less than "appropriate" given
the above table.
The detection algorithm is simplistic and does not take into account
other relevant factors. Therefore, for production-quality servers it
is recommended that server operators examine the system holistically
and determine what the appropriate size is instead of relying on the
automatic detection code.
To aid server operators, the node size will now be reported in the
`server_info` API as `node_size` when the command is invoked in
'admin' mode.
While most of the code associated with secp256k1 operations had
been migrated to libsecp256k1, the deterministic key derivation
code was still using calls to OpenSSL.
If merged, this commit replaces the OpenSSL-based routines with
new libsecp256k1-based implementations. No functional change is
expected and the change should be transparent.
This commit also removes several support classes and utility
functions that wrapped or adapted various OpenSSL types that
are no longer needed.
A tip of the hat to the original author of this truly superb
library, Dr. Pieter Wuille, and to all other contributors.
This commit expands the detection capabilities of the Byzantine
validation detector. Prior to this commit, only validators that
were on a server's UNL were monitored. Now, all the validations
that a server receives are passed through the detector.
The existing class offered several constructors which were mostly
unnecessary. This commit eliminates all existing constructors and
introduces a single new one, taking a `Slice`.
The internal buffer is switched from `std::vector` to `Buffer` to
save a minimum of 8 bytes (plus the buffer slack that is inherent
in `std::vector`) per SHAMapItem instance.
Before this change any non-zero Sequence field was handled as
a non-ticketed transaction, even if a TicketSequence was
present. We learned that this could lead to user confusion.
So the rules are tightened up.
Now if any transaction contains both a non-zero Sequence
field and a TicketSequence field then that transaction
returns a temSEQ_AND_TICKET error code.
The (deprecated) "sign" and "submit" RPC commands are tuned
up so they auto-insert a Sequence field of zero if they see
a TicketSequence in the transaction.
No amendment is needed because this change is going into
the first release that supports the TicketBatch amendment.
The existing code that deserialized an STAmount was sub-optimal and performed
poorly. In some rare cases the operation could result in otherwise valid
serialized amounts overflowing during deserialization. This commit will help
detect error conditions more quickly and eliminate the problematic corner cases.
* Use theoretical quality to order the strands
* Do not use strands below the user specified quality limit
* Stop exploring strands (at the current quality iteration) once any strand is non-dry
The previous error description was focused on keys that are too long,
but this error can occur if the key is too short or does not contain
the correct prefix.
* Add a new operating mode to rippled called reporting mode
* Add ETL mechanism for a reporting node to extract data from a p2p node
* Add new gRPC methods to faciliate ETL
* Use Postgres in place of SQLite in reporting mode
* Add Cassandra as a nodestore option
* Update logic of RPC handlers when running in reporting mode
* Add ability to forward RPCs to a p2p node
Support for 'out-of-sequence' transaction execution was introduced
in commit 7724cca384.
The changes in that commit were gated under a feature but there was
no corresponding amendment introduced that would allow the network
to vote on this amendment.
This commit introduces 'TicketBatch' amendment as the amendment
that is associated with the tickets feature. If the amendment is
enabled, it will activate support for tickets.
This commit also removes several workarounds that are no longer
needed in unit tests.
* Creates a version 2 of the UNL file format allowing publishers to
pre-publish the next UNL while the current one is still valid.
* Version 1 of the UNL file format is still valid and backward
compatible.
* Also causes rippled to lock down if it has no valid UNLs, similar to
being amendment blocked, except reversible.
* Resolves#3548
* Resolves#3470
This comment explains this patch and the associated patches
that should be folded into it. This paragraph should be removed
when the patches are folded after review.
This change significantly improves ledger sync and fetch
times while reducing memory consumption. The change affects
the code from that begins with SHAMap::getMissingNodes and runs
through to Database::threadEntry.
The existing code issues a number of async fetches which are then
handed off to the Database's pool of read threads to execute.
The results of each read are placed in the Database's positive
and negative caches. The caller waits for all reads to complete
and then retrieves the results out of these caches.
Among other issues, this means that the results of the first read
cannot be processed until the last read completes. Additionally,
all the results must sit in memory.
This patch changes the behavior so that each read operation has a
completion handler associated with it. The completion of the read
calls the handler, allowing the results of each read to be
processed as it completes. As this was the only reason the
negative and positive caches were needed, they can now be removed.
The read generation code is also no longer needed and is removed.
The batch fetch logic was never implemented or supported and is
removed.
- Simplify and consolidate code for parsing hex input.
- Replace beast::endian::order with boost::endian::order.
- Simplify CountedObject code.
- Remove pre-C++17 workarounds in favor of C++17 based solutions.
- Improve `base_uint` and simplify its hex-parsing interface by
consolidating the `SexHex` and `SetHexExact` methods into one
API: `parseHex` which forces callers to verify the result of
the operation; as a result some public-facing API endpoints
may now return errors when passed values that were previously
accepted.
- Remove the simple fallback implementations of SHA2 and RIPEMD
introduced to reduce our dependency on OpenSSL. The code is
slow and rarely, if ever, exercised and we rely on OpenSSL
functionality for Boost.ASIO as well.
When evaluating the fitness and usefulness of an outbound peer, the code
would incorrectly calculate the amount of time that the peer spent in
a non-useful state.
This commit, if merged, corrects the calculation and makes the timeout
values configurable by server operators.
Two new options are introduced in the 'overlay' stanza of the config
file. The default values, in seconds, are:
[overlay]
max_unknown_time = 600
max_diverged_time = 300
There have been cases in the past where SFields have been defined
in such a way that they did not follow our conventions. In
particular, the string representation of an SField should match
the in-code name of the SField.
This change leverages the preprocessor to encourage SFields to
be properly constructed.
The suffixes of SField types are changed to be the same as
the suffixes of corresponding SerializedTypeIDs. This allows
The preprocessor to match types using simple name pasting.
Since the string representation of the SField is part of our
stable API, the name of sfPayChannel was changed to sfChannel.
This change allows sfChannel to follow our conventions while
making no changes to our external API.
* If multiple transactions are queued for the account, change the
account's sequence number in a temporary view before processing the
transaction.
* Adds a new "at()" interface to STObject which is identical to the
operator[], but easier to write and read when dealing with ptrs.
* Split the TxQ tests into two suites to speed up parallel run times.
This commit introduces a new configuration option that server
operators can set. The value is communicated to other servers
and is also reported via the `server_info` API.
The value is meant to allow third-party applications or tools
to group servers together. For example, a tool that visualizes
the network's topology can group servers together.
Similar to the "Domain" field in validator manifests, an operator
can claim any domain. Prior to relying on the value returned, the
domain should be verified by retrieving the xrp-ledger.toml file
from the domain and looking for the server's public key in the
`nodes` array.
Use C++17 constant expressions to calculate the inverse
alphabet map at compile time instead of at runtime.
Remove support for encoding & decoding tokens using the
Bitcoin alphabet.
