Integration - tool to run Erigon stages in custom way: run/reset single stage, run all stages but reorg every X blocks, etc...

Examples

All commands require parameter --datadir=<datadir> - I will skip it for readability.

integration --help
integration print_stages

# Run single stage 
integration stage_senders 
integration stage_exec  
integration stage_exec --block=1_000_000 # stop at 1M block
integration stage_hash_state 
integration stage_trie
integration stage_history
integration stage_tx_lookup

# Unwind single stage 10 blocks backward
integration stage_exec --unwind=10

# Drop data of single stage 
integration stage_exec --reset     
integration stage_history --reset

# Unwind single stage N blocks backward
integration stage_exec --unwind=N 
integration stage_history --unwind=N

# Run stage prune to block N
integration stage_exec --prune.to=N     
integration stage_history --prune.to=N

# Exec blocks, but don't commit changes (loose them)
integration stage_exec --no-commit
...

# Run tx replay with domains [requires 6th stage to be done before run]
integration state_domains --chain goerli --last-step=4 # stop replay when 4th step is merged
integration read_domains --chain goerli account <addr> <addr> ... # read values for given accounts 

# hack which allows to force clear unwind stack of all stages
clear_unwind_stack

For testing run all stages in "N blocks forward M blocks re-org" loop

Pre-requirements of state_stages command:

• Headers/Bodies must be downloaded
• TxSenders stage must be executed

make all
./build/bin/integration state_stages --datadir=<datadir> --unwind=10 --unwind.every=20 --pprof
integration reset_state # drops all stages after Senders stage (including it's db tables DB tables)

For example:

--unwind=1 --unwind.every=10  # 10 blocks forward, 1 block back, 10 blocks forward, ...
--unwind=10 --unwind.every=1  # 1 block forward, 10 blocks back, 1 blocks forward, ...
--unwind=10  # 10 blocks back, then stop
--integrity.fast=false --integrity.slow=false # it performs DB integrity checks each step. You can disable slow or fast checks.
--block # stop at exact blocks
--chaindata.reference # When finish all cycles, does comparison to this db file.

"Wrong trie root" problem - temporary solution

make all
./build/bin/integration stage_hash_state --datadir=<datadir> --reset
./build/bin/integration stage_trie --datadir=<datadir> --reset
# Then run TurobGeth as usually. It will take 2-3 hours to re-calculate dropped db tables

Copy data to another db

1. Stop Erigon
2. Create new db, by starting erigon in new directory: with option --datadir /path/to/copy-to/
(set new --db.pagesize option if need)
3. Stop Erigon again after about 1 minute (Steps 2 and 3 create a new empty db in /path/to/copy-to/chaindata )
4. Build integration: cd erigon; make integration
5. Run: ./build/bin/integration mdbx_to_mdbx --chaindata /existing/erigon/path/chaindata/ --chaindata.to /path/to/copy-to/chaindata/

Clear bad blocks table in the case some block was marked as invalid after some error

It allows to process this blocks again

1. ./build/bin/integration clear_bad_blocks --datadir=<datadir>
