There will need to be some more refactoring for these changes to be
considered complete/correct, but for now it's working.
new daemon cli argument "--db-type", works for LMDB and BerkeleyDB.
A good deal of refactoring is also present in this commit, namely
Blockchain no longer instantiates BlockchainDB, but rather is passed a
pointer to an already-instantiated BlockchainDB on init().
Add support to:
- BlockchainDB, BlockchainLMDB
- blockchain_import utility to open LMDB database with one or more
LMDB flags.
Sample use:
$ blockchain_import --database lmdb#nosync
$ blockchain_import --database lmdb#nosync,nometasync
In order to make things more general, BlockchainDB now has get_db_name()
which should return a string with the "name" of that type of db.
This "name" will be the subfolder name that holds that db type's files
within the monero folder.
Small bugfix: blockchain_converter was not correctly appending this in
the prior hard-coded-string implementation of the subfolder data
directory concept.
Ostensibly janitorial work, but should be more relevant later down the
line. Things that depend on core cryptonote things (i.e.
cryptonote_core) don't necessarily depend on BlockchainDB and thus
have no need to have BlockchainDB baked in with them.
The RPC calls the daemon executable uses to talk to the running daemon
instance have mostly been added back in. Rate limiting has not been
added in upstream, but is on its way in a separate effort, so those
calls are still NOPed out.
many RPC functions added by the daemonize changes
(and related changes on the upstream dev branch that were not merged)
were commented out (apart from return). Other than that, this *should*
work...at any rate, it builds, and that's something.
Usage:
default is lmdb for blockchain branch:
$ make release
same as:
$ DATABASE=lmdb make release
for original in-memory implementation:
$ DATABASE=memory make release
It expects the total number of blocks of main chain, not last block id
(off-by-one error).
This again behaves like the same height assertion done in original
implementation in blockchain_storage::handle_alternative_block().
This allows a reorganization to proceed after an alternative block has
been added.
difficulty.
This fixes the continual reorganization between a main and alternate
chain, using the same two latest blocks from each.
The check that cumulative difficulty of the alternate chain is bigger
than main's was not using main's last block, but incorrectly using the
passed-in block's previous block. main_chain_cumulative_difficulty was
being used in two different ways. This has been split up to keep use
of main_chain_cumulative_difficulty consistent.
Remove have_block() check from Blockchain::handle_block_to_main_chain().
Add logging to have_block().
This allows blockchain reorganization to proceed further.
have_block() check here causes an error after a blockchain reorganize
begins with error: "Attempting to add block to main chain, but it's
already either there or in an alternate chain."
While reorganizing to become the main chain, a block in the
alternative chain would be refused due to have_block() rightfully
finding it in the alternative chain. The reorganization would end in
rollback, restoring to previous blockchain.
Original implementation didn't call it here, and it doesn't appear
necessary to be called from here in this implementation either. When
needed, it appears it's called prior to handle_block_to_main_chain().
Complete method BlockchainLMDB::remove_output()
- use output index as the key for:
m_output_indices, m_output_txs, m_output_keys
- call new method BlockchainLMDB::remove_amount_output_index()
Add method to remove amount output index.
- BlockchainLMDB::remove_amount_output_index()
- for m_output_amounts
This also fixes the segfault when blockchain reorganization is
attempted.
Use last block id, not number of blocks (off-by-one error).
Fixes error at start of blockchain reorganization: "Attempt to get
cumulative difficulty from height <XXXXXX> failed -- difficulty not in
db"
Implement BlockchainLMDB::get_output_global_index()
- returns global output index for a given amount and amount output
index.
Add information to debug statement for failed ring signature check
within Blockchain::check_tx_inputs()
Fixes bitmonerod RPC call "/getrandom_outs.bin" to return correct
output keys, used in creating a transaction with mixins.
TODO: get_output_global_index() could be refactored with part of
get_output_tx_and_index() as the latter uses the former's
functionality. Keep track of LMDB read transaction.
Fix Blockchain::get_tx_outputs_gindexs() to return amount output
indices.
Implement BlockchainLMDB::get_tx_amount_output_indices() and call it
from the function instead of BlockchainLMDB::get_tx_output_indices()
Previously, Blockchain::get_tx_outputs_gindexs() was instead returning
global output indices, which are internal to LMDB databases.
Allows bitmonerod RPC /get_o_indexes.bin to return the amount output
indices as expected.
Allows simplewallet refresh to set correct amount output indices for
incoming transfers. simplewallet can now construct and send valid
transactions (currently only without mixins).
This is a fix that doesn't require altering the structure of the
current LMDB databases.
TODO:
This can be done more efficiently by adding another LMDB database
(key-value table).
It's not used during regular transaction validation by bitmonerod. I
think it's currently used only or mainly by simplewallet for just its
own incoming transactions. So the current behavior is not a primary
bottleneck.
Currently, it's using the "output_amounts" database, walking through a
given amount's list of values, comparing each one to a given global
output index. The iteration number of the match is the desired result:
the amount output index. This is done for each global output index of
the transaction.
A tx's amount output indices can be stored in various other ways
allowing for faster lookup. Since a tx is only written once, there are
no special future write requirements for its list of indices.
