The pathfinding engine built into the code has several configurable
parameters to adjust the depth of the paths indexed and explored.
These parameters can dramatically impact the performance and memory
consumption of a server; higher values can result in resource usage
increasing exponentially.
These default values were decided early and somewhat arbitrarily at
a time when the network and the size of the network state were much
smaller.
This commit adjusts the default values to reduce the depth of paths
to more reasonable levels; unless explicitly overriden, the changes
mean that pathfinding operations will return fewer, shallower paths
than previous versions of the software.
This commit corrects a technical flaw that was introduced with commit
7c12f01358: as written, a mutex that is
intended to help provide synchronization for multiple threads as they
are each walking the map, is declared so that each thread is passed a
dangling reference to a unique mutex.
This commit hoists the mutex outside the thread creation loop, so all
threads use a single mutex and eliminating the dangling reference.
The nodestore includes a built-in cache to reduce the disk I/O
load but, by default, this cache was not initialized unless it
was explicitly configured by the server operator.
This commit introduces sensible defaults based on the server's
configured node size.
It remains possible to completely disable the cache if desired
by explicitly configuring it the cache size and age parameters
to 0:
[node_db]
...
cache_size = 0
cache_age = 0
- Only duplicate records from archive to writable during online_delete.
- Log duration of nodestore reads.
- Include nodestore counters in perf_log output.
- Remove gratuitous nodestore activity counting.
- Report initial sync duration in server_info and perfLog.
- Report state_accounting in perfLog.
- Make state_accounting durations more accurate.
- Parallel ledger loader.
- Config parameter to load ledgers on start.
1) Don't acquire so many nodes per pass. It's likely
far more than we need.
2) Right-size the finishedReads_ vector on passes other
than just the first.
