3e0574e563 Added another missing block archive lookup relating to trade timestamps.
Note that this is unlikely to be the cause of some of the zero timestamps issue seen on a subset of nodes - there is still likely to be another problem that needs fixing.

305e0f1772 Disable validation of previous hash unless validateAllDataLayers is true
We may not need to validate this at all now that we have the ability to validate the current layer, but I'll leave it as it could be useful for debugging. It is disabled by default so not an issue.

04aabe0921 Include the original file instead of a patch if the patch is larger than the original file.
This saves processing and disk space, as there is no point in applying a patch when the original file is smaller and can be included in its entirety.

8dd4d71d75 Significant rework of patches
- The "diff type" is now specified per file, allowing for different diff methods in each modified file.
- Patches will only be created when both the before and after files are less than 100kiB in size.
- Patches are validated after creation, and if invalid it will fall back to including the entire file.

This has identified a bug where patching fails for files without trailing newline characters, which still needs to be fixed. Until then, it will fall back to including the entire file in these cases.

adeb654248 Rework of repository maintenance and backups
It will now attempt to wait until there are no other active transactions before starting, to avoid deadlocks.

Right now we will give up in all places except for bootstrap creation, where it will keep retrying until successful.

- Uses indentation in the JSON files for easier readability.

19bf8afece Fixed bug in pruning phase on node startup
This was causing very recent AT states to be deleted accidentally, because we weren't rebuilding the LatestATStates table before running the query. We should add unit tests to cover this process in case there are any other undiscovered problems.

70c6048cc1 Added block archive mode
This takes all trimmed blocks (which should now be all but the last 1450 or so) and moves them into flat files. Each file contains the serialized bytes of as many blocks that can fit within the file size target of 100MiB.

As a result, the HSQLDB size drops to less than 1GB, making it much faster and easier to maintain. It also significantly reduces the total size of each full node, because the data is stored in a highly optimized way.

HSQLDB then works similarly to the way it does in pruning mode - it holds all transactions, the latest state of every AT, as well as the full AT states data and hashes for the past 1450 blocks.

Each archive file contains headers and indexes in order to quickly locate blocks. When a peer requests a block that is within the archive, the serialized bytes are sent directly without the need to go via a BlockData object. Now that there are no slow queries or data serialization processes needed, it should greatly speed up the block serving.

The /block API endpoints have been modified in such a way that they will also check and retrieve blocks from the archive when needed.

A lightweight "BlockArchive" table is needed in HSQLDB to map block heights to signatures minters and timestamps. It made more sense to keep SQL support for these basic attributes of each block. These are located in a separate table from the full blocks, in order to create a clear distinction between HSQLDB blocks and archived blocks, and also to speed up query times in the Blocks table, which is the one we are using 99% of the time.

There is currently a restriction on the /admin/orphan API endpoint to prevent orphaning beyond the threshold of the block archive.

734fa51806 Unified the code to build the LatestATStates table, as it's now used by more than one class.
Note - the rebuildLatestAtStates() must never be used by two different classes at the same time, or AT states could be incorrectly deleted. It is okay at the moment as we don't run the AT states trimmer and pruner in the same app session. However we should probably synchronize this method so that we don't accidentally call it from two places in the future.

f056ecc8d8 Added bulk pruning phase on node startup the first time that pruning mode is enabled.
When switching from a full node to a pruning node, we need to delete most of the database contents. If we do this entirely as a background process, it is very slow and can interfere with syncing. However, if we take the approach of transferring only the necessary rows to a new table and then deleting the original table, this makes the process much faster. It was taking several days to delete the AT states in the background, but only a couple of minutes to copy them to a new table.

The trade off is that we have to go through a form of "reshape" when starting the app for the first time after enabling pruning mode. But given that this is an opt-in mode, I don't think it will be a problem.

Once the pruning is complete, it automatically performs a CHECKPOINT DEFRAG in order to shrink the database file size down to a fraction of what it was before.

From this point, the original background process will run, but can be dialled right down so not to interfere with syncing.

01d66212da Updated AT states pruner as it previously relied on blocks being present in the db to make decisions. As a side effect, this now prunes ATs up the the pruneBlockLimit too, rather than keeping the last 35 days or so. Will review this later but I don't think we will need the missing ones. 2021-09-24 08:36:51 +01:00

3400e36ac4 Started work on pruning mode (top-only-sync)
Initially just deleting old and unused AT states, to get this table under control. I have had to delete them individually as the table can't handle complex queries due to its size.

Nodes in pruning mode will be unable to serve older blocks to peers.
