This change introduces additional processes to manage snapshot uploading
for E2 snapshots:
## erigon snapshots upload
The `snapshots uploader` command starts a version of erigon customized
for uploading snapshot files to
a remote location.
It breaks the stage execution process after the senders stage and then
uses the snapshot stage to send
uploaded headers, bodies and (in the case of polygon) bor spans and
events to snapshot files. Because
this process avoids execution in run signifigantly faster than a
standard erigon configuration.
The uploader uses rclone to send seedable (100K or 500K blocks) to a
remote storage location specified
in the rclone config file.
The **uploader** is configured to minimize disk usage by doing the
following:
* It removes snapshots once they are loaded
* It aggressively prunes the database once entities are transferred to
snapshots
in addition to this it has the following performance related features:
* maximizes the workers allocated to snapshot processing to improve
throughput
* Can be started from scratch by downloading the latest snapshots from
the remote location to seed processing
## snapshots command
Is a stand alone command for managing remote snapshots it has the
following sub commands
* **cmp** - compare snapshots
* **copy** - copy snapshots
* **verify** - verify snapshots
* **manifest** - manage the manifest file in the root of remote snapshot
locations
* **torrent** - manage snapshot torrent files
"whitelisting" mechanism (list of files - stored in DB) - which
protecting us from downloading new files after upgrade/downgrade was
broken. And seems it became over-complicated with time.
I replacing it by 1 persistent flag inside downloader:
"prohibit_new_downloads.lock"
Erigon will turn downloader into this mode after
downloading/verification of first snapshots.
```
//Corner cases:
// - Erigon generated file X with hash H1. User upgraded Erigon. New version has preverified file X with hash H2. Must ignore H2 (don't send to Downloader)
// - Erigon "download once": means restart/upgrade/downgrade must not download files (and will be fast)
// - After "download once" - Erigon will produce and seed new files
```
------
`downloader --seedbox` is never "prohibit new downloads"
Reason:
- produce and seed snapshots earlier on chain tip. reduce depnedency on
"good peers with history" at p2p-network.
Some networks have no much archive peers, also ConsensusLayer clients
are not-good(not-incentivised) at serving history.
- avoiding having too much files:
more files(shards) - means "more metadata", "more lookups for
non-indexed queries", "more dictionaries", "more bittorrent
connections", ...
less files - means small files will be removed after merge (no peers for
this files).
ToDo:
[x] Recent 500K - merge up to 100K
[x] Older than 500K - merge up to 500K
[x] Start seeding 100k files
[x] Stop seeding 100k files after merge (right before delete)
In next PR:
[] Old version of Erigon must be able download recent hashes. To achieve
it - at first start erigon will download preverified hashes .toml from
s3 - if it's newer that what we have (build-in) - use it.
- breaks dependency from staged_sync to package with block_reader
implementation
- breaks dependency from snap_sync to package with block_reader
implementation
- breaks dependency from mining to txpool implementation
- allow store non-canonical blocks/senders
- optimize re-org: don't update/delete most of data
- allow mark chain as `Bad` - will be not visible by eth_getBlockByHash,
but can read if have hash+num
* getBlockTransactionCountByHash using snapshots
* got body from block reader
* requesting block body with transactions
* tests
* added tx amount into blocreader body
* using txAmount from body
