* Create SQLite database for mapping transaction IDs to shard indexes
* Create SQLite database for mapping ledger hashes to shard indexes
* Create additional test cases for the shard database
Add support to allow multiple indepedent nodes to produce a binary identical
shard for a given range of ledgers. The advantage is that servers can use
content-addressable storage, and can more efficiently retrieve shards by
downloading from multiple peers at once and then verifying the integrity of
a shard by cross-checking its checksum with the checksum other servers report.
* 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
This commit combines a number of cleanups, targeting both the
code structure and the code logic. Large changes include:
- Using more strongly-typed classes for SHAMap nodes, instead of relying
on runtime-time detection of class types. This change saves 16 bytes
of memory per node.
- Improving the interface of SHAMap::addGiveItem and SHAMap::addItem to
avoid the need for passing two bool arguments.
- Documenting the "copy-on-write" semantics that SHAMap uses to
efficiently track changes in individual nodes.
- Removing unused code and simplifying several APIs.
- Improving function naming.
- Provide separate functions for serializing depending on whether
one wants a "wire" version of a node, or one suitable for hashing.
- Remove unused functions
* Distinguish between recent and historical shards
* Allow multiple storage paths for historical shards
* Add documentation for this feature
* Add unit tests
Commit 4dc08f8202 introduced support for
deterministic shards, which makes the sharding functionality provided
by rippled more useful.
After merging, several opportunities for further improvements to the
deterministic sharding implementation were identified and a significant
increase int memory usage during shard finalization was detected.
Because of these issues, the commit is being reverted and the feature is
being rolled back. It will be reintroduced in a future release.
This commit, if merged, adds support to allow multiple indepedent nodes to
produce a binary identical shard for a given range of ledgers. The advantage
is that servers can use content-addressable storage, and can more efficiently
retrieve shards by downloading from multiple peers at once and then verifying
the integrity of a shard by cross-checking its checksum with the checksum
other servers report.
