* Testing Beacon API
* Fixed sentinel code (a little bit)
* Fixed sentinel tests
* Added historical state support
* Fixed state-related endpoints (i was drunk when writing them)
* Chunked format -> blinded
* LZ4 -> ZSTD
* Implemented parent block root support for history download
* Rationale: Allows to optimize GC collection easily on state
reconstruction and it allows to read fast attestations in historical
states reader
* Reconstruct previous epoch without looking at DB: no hindrance to
performance -> removed 15GB
* Store inactivity scores and slashings in MDBX and do not store diffs
for them(they are tiny 700/400 bytes)
* Reduced dumps from every 2048 to 1024 -> Added 5 GB (maybe we should
down it to 768)
* Parallel processing of shuffled sets, 2x performance boost in reading
participation.
* Store balances diffs in a Btree diff matter, see:
https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon-documents/blob/master/caplin/design/data-model.md#uint64listuint64vector
* Most of the PR changed files are extra and slightly more complicated
unit tests.
* Fixed Eth1DataVotes not inheriting genesis
* Fixed Attestations simulation using wrong slot when reconstructing
partecipation
* Fixed Copy() operation on BeaconState on Eth1DataVotes
* Used correct ListSSZ type for Eth1DataVotes and HistoricalSummaries
* Fixed wrong []uint64 deltas on empty slots
What does this PR do:
* Optional Backfilling and Caplin Archive Node
* Create antiquary for historical states
* Fixed gaps of chain gap related to the Head of the chain and anchor of
the chain.
* Added basic reader object to Read the Historical state
adds a two indexes to the validators cache
creates beaconhttp package with many utilities for beacon http endpoint
(future support for ssz is baked in)
started on some validator endpoints
This is a non functional change which consolidates the various packages
under metrics into the top level package now that the dead code is
removed.
It is a precursor to the removal of Victoria metrics after which all
erigon metrics code will be contained in this single package.
This is an update of:
https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/pull/7846
which uses a local fork of victoria metrics to include the changes that
https://github.com/anshalshukla added to the original for we where
using.
It also includes code to address the duplicate metrics issue identified
here:
https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/issues/8053
It has one more associated fix which is to correctly add a metadata
label to counters, these where previously labelled as gauges.
e.g.
```
# TYPE p2p_peers counter
p2p_peers 0
```
rather than
```
# TYPE p2p_peers gauge
p2p_peers 0
```
