- Add new command to the cli/node: `serveapi` that alows serving the API just
by connecting to the PostgreSQL database. The mode flag should me passed in
order to select whether we are connecting to a synchronizer database or a
coordinator database. If `coord` is chosen as mode, the coordinator
endpoints can be activated in order to allow inserting l2txs and
authorizations into the L2DB.
Summary of the implementation details
- New SQL table with 3 columns (plus `item_id` pk). The table only contains a
single row with `item_id` = 1. Columns:
- state: historydb.StateAPI in JSON. This is the struct that is served via
the `/state` API endpoint. The node will periodically update this struct
and store it int he DB. The api server will query it from the DB to
serve it.
- config: historydb.NodeConfig in JSON. This struct contains node
configuration parameters that the API needs to be aware of. It's updated
once every time the node starts.
- constants: historydb.Constants in JSON. This struct contains all the
hermez network constants gathered via the ethereum client by the node.
It's written once every time the node starts.
- The HistoryDB contains methods to get and update each one of these columns
individually.
- The HistoryDB contains all methods that query the DB and prepare objects that
will appear in the StateAPI endpoint.
- The configuration used in for the `serveapi` cli/node command is defined in
`config.APIServer`, and is a subset of `node.Config` in order to allow
reusing the same configuration file of the node if desired.
- A new object is introduced in the api: `StateAPIUpdater`, which contains all
the necessary information to update the StateAPI in the DB periodically by
the node.
- Moved the types `SCConsts`, `SCVariables` and `SCVariablesPtr` from
`syncrhonizer` to `common` for convenience.
Also, in the cli commands `wipesql` and `discard`, always rebuild the current
checkpoint of the stateDBs to make sure it's in a consistent non-corrupted
state and do a reset afterwards. These commands will allow reverting the
StateDB to a valid and consistent state in case a crash leaves the StateDB in a
corrupted state.
Add new config setting `Debug.GinDebugMode`. When set to true, gin will run in
debug mode. If not set, gin will run in release mode. Before this change, gin
always ran in debug mode, so to keep the same behaviour as before, set this
parameter to true
Add the following config parameters at
`Coordinator.EthClient.ForgeBatchGasCost`:
- `Fixed`
- `L1UserTx`
- `L1CoordTx`
- `L2Tx`
Which are the costs associated to a ForgeBatch transaction, split
into different parts to be used in the formula to compute the gasLimit.
- Add config parameter `Coordinator.L2DB.MinPriceUSD` which allows rejecting
txs to the pool that have a fee lower than the minimum.
- In pool tx insertion, checking the number of pending txs atomically with the
insertion to avoid data races leading to more than MaxTxs pending txs in the
pool.
- In tx_pool, add a column called `external_delete` that can be set to true
externally. Regularly, the coordinator will delete all pending txs with this
column set to true. The interval for this action is set via the new config
parameter `Coordinator.PurgeByExtDelInterval`.
- In tx_pool, add a column for the client ip that sent the transaction. The
api fills this value using the ClientIP method from gin.Context, which should
work even under a reverse-proxy.
The command is useful in case the synchronizer reaches an invalid state and you
want to roll back a few blocks and try again (maybe with some fixes in the
code).
- cli / node
- Update handler of SIGINT so that after 3 SIGINTs, the process terminates
unconditionally
- coordinator
- Store stats without pointer
- In all functions that send a variable via channel, check for context done
to avoid deadlock (due to no process reading from the channel, which has
no queue) when the node is stopped.
- Abstract `canForge` so that it can be used outside of the `Coordinator`
- In `canForge` check the blockNumber in current and next slot.
- Update tests due to smart contract changes in slot handling, and minimum
bid defaults
- TxManager
- Add consts, vars and stats to allow evaluating `canForge`
- Add `canForge` method (not used yet)
- Store batch and nonces status (last success and last pending)
- Track nonces internally instead of relying on the ethereum node (this
is required to work with ganache when there are pending txs)
- Handle the (common) case of the receipt not being found after the tx
is sent.
- Don't start the main loop until we get an initial messae fo the stats
and vars (so that in the loop the stats and vars are set to
synchronizer values)
- When a tx fails, check and discard all the failed transactions before
sending the message to stop the pipeline. This will avoid sending
consecutive messages of stop the pipeline when multiple txs are
detected to be failed consecutively. Also, future txs of the same
pipeline after a discarded txs are discarded, and their nonces reused.
- Robust handling of nonces:
- If geth returns nonce is too low, increase it
- If geth returns nonce too hight, decrease it
- If geth returns underpriced, increase gas price
- If geth returns replace underpriced, increase gas price
- Add support for resending transactions after a timeout
- Store `BatchInfos` in a queue
- Pipeline
- When an error is found, stop forging batches and send a message to the
coordinator to stop the pipeline with information of the failed batch
number so that in a restart, non-failed batches are not repated.
- When doing a reset of the stateDB, if possible reset from the local
checkpoint instead of resetting from the synchronizer. This allows
resetting from a batch that is valid but not yet sent / synced.
- Every time a pipeline is started, assign it a number from a counter. This
allows the TxManager to ignore batches from stopped pipelines, via a
message sent by the coordinator.
- Avoid forging when we haven't reached the rollup genesis block number.
- Add config parameter `StartSlotBlocksDelay`: StartSlotBlocksDelay is the
number of blocks of delay to wait before starting the pipeline when we
reach a slot in which we can forge.
- When detecting a reorg, only reset the pipeline if the batch from which
the pipeline started changed and wasn't sent by us.
- Add config parameter `ScheduleBatchBlocksAheadCheck`:
ScheduleBatchBlocksAheadCheck is the number of blocks ahead in which the
forger address is checked to be allowed to forge (apart from checking the
next block), used to decide when to stop scheduling new batches (by
stopping the pipeline). For example, if we are at block 10 and
ScheduleBatchBlocksAheadCheck is 5, eventhough at block 11 we canForge,
the pipeline will be stopped if we can't forge at block 15. This value
should be the expected number of blocks it takes between scheduling a
batch and having it mined.
- Add config parameter `SendBatchBlocksMarginCheck`:
SendBatchBlocksMarginCheck is the number of margin blocks ahead in which
the coordinator is also checked to be allowed to forge, apart from the
next block; used to decide when to stop sending batches to the smart
contract. For example, if we are at block 10 and
SendBatchBlocksMarginCheck is 5, eventhough at block 11 we canForge, the
batch will be discarded if we can't forge at block 15.
- Add config parameter `TxResendTimeout`: TxResendTimeout is the timeout
after which a non-mined ethereum transaction will be resent (reusing the
nonce) with a newly calculated gas price
- Add config parameter `MaxGasPrice`: MaxGasPrice is the maximum gas price
allowed for ethereum transactions
- Add config parameter `NoReuseNonce`: NoReuseNonce disables reusing nonces
of pending transactions for new replacement transactions. This is useful
for testing with Ganache.
- Extend BatchInfo with more useful information for debugging
- eth / ethereum client
- Add necessary methods to create the auth object for transactions manually
so that we can set the nonce, gas price, gas limit, etc manually
- Update `RollupForgeBatch` to take an auth object as input (so that the
coordinator can set parameters manually)
- synchronizer
- In stats, add `NextSlot`
- In stats, store full last batch instead of just last batch number
- Instead of calculating a nextSlot from scratch every time, update the
current struct (only updating the forger info if we are Synced)
- Afer every processed batch, check that the calculated StateDB MTRoot
matches the StateRoot found in the forgeBatch event.
- eth
- In EventsByBlock calls ignore blockNum if blockHash != nil. This fixes
the issue where a blockNumber and blockHash was being passed, which the
eth events query function doesn't allow, causing the synchronizer to fail
at every iteration.
- Node/Config
- Add Coordinator.Debug.RollupVerifierIndex to force choosing a particular
verifier by index in the Rollup smart contract.
- cli / node
- Update handler of SIGINT so that after 3 SIGINTs, the process terminates
unconditionally
- coordinator
- Store stats without pointer
- In all functions that send a variable via channel, check for context done
to avoid deadlock (due to no process reading from the channel, which has
no queue) when the node is stopped.
- Abstract `canForge` so that it can be used outside of the `Coordinator`
- In `canForge` check the blockNumber in current and next slot.
- Update tests due to smart contract changes in slot handling, and minimum
bid defaults
- TxManager
- Add consts, vars and stats to allow evaluating `canForge`
- Add `canForge` method (not used yet)
- Store batch and nonces status (last success and last pending)
- Track nonces internally instead of relying on the ethereum node (this
is required to work with ganache when there are pending txs)
- Handle the (common) case of the receipt not being found after the tx
is sent.
- Don't start the main loop until we get an initial messae fo the stats
and vars (so that in the loop the stats and vars are set to
synchronizer values)
- eth / ethereum client
- Add necessary methods to create the auth object for transactions manually
so that we can set the nonce, gas price, gas limit, etc manually
- Update `RollupForgeBatch` to take an auth object as input (so that the
coordinator can set parameters manually)
- synchronizer
- In stats, add `NextSlot`
When scheduling an L1Batch, make sure the previous L1Batch has been
synchronized. Otherwise, an L1Batch will be forged that may not contain all
the L1UserTxs that are supposed to be included.
- Debug Batch File
- Add details about why a batch is scheduled to be L1Batch or regular
- Add timestamps in time and blockNumber of important events
- Use a different naming for the files (batchNum + timestamp)
- Coordinator:
- To make decisions and store debug info, always use the current block that
is being mined, instead of the last mined block
- Node
- Load Coordinator Fee Account from config
- Sign the AccountCreationMsg to generate the
AccountCreationAuth
- Resolve#465
- Wait for synchronizer termination before stopping coordinator to avoid
getting stuck when closing in the following case:
- The coordinator stops reading the synchronizer msg channel,
and the node gets stuck sending a message to that channel.
- Common
- Move account creation auth signature code to common.
- Update RollupConstInputSHAConstantBytes
- Coordinator
- Set batch status in the debug file
- Propagate SCVariables on reorg
- Pipeline: Get SCVariables updates
- Resolve#457
- Fix off by 1 error in Pipeline.shouldL1L2Batch() (which shouldn't have
caused any problem, but it was not right)
- KVDB
- Delete future checkpoints after reset
- In `ResetFromSynchronizer`, remove all checkpoints first, and follow
the same logic as `reset()`.
- Cli
- Add command to generate a BabyJubJub key pair (to be used for the
Coordinator Fee Account)
- Node
- Adjust example config `Coordinator.L1BatchTimeoutPerc` to avoid
missing the L1Batch deadline with the following setup:
- a block is mined every 2 seconds
- single proof server that takes 2 seconds to calculate a proof
- TxProcessor
- Close temporary pebble used for the exit tree after usage.
- Resolve#463
- In config, add Debug.MeddlerLogs to enable meddler debug logs. This only
affects the node started via cli, tests swill ran with `meddler.Debug = true`
- Remove unused ethereum client functions and config parameters
- Document all the config parameters
- Remove MaxL1CoordTxs parameter from the TxSelector because this parameter
doesn't exist
- Use ChainID in l1tx byte encoding
- Pass txprocessor configuration to batch builder via an existing parameter
- Refactor the migrations code so that packr is only called (via an init
function in `db/utils.go`).
- When loading the migrations, make sure there is at least one migration,
otherwise panic (this would happen if the node is built incorrectly)
Load an ethereum keystore when the node is started in coordinator mode. The
private key corresponding to the forger address must be imported into the
keystore before running the node in coordinator mode. You can see an examples
in `cli/node/load-sk-example.sh`.
Introduce a constructor parameter for the StateDB called `keep`, which tells
how many checkpoints to keep. When doing a new checkpoint, if the number of
existing checkpoints exeeds `keep`, the oldest ones will be deleted.
Previously the Synchronizer required the initial variables of the smart
contracts to be passed as a configuration parameter (that the node took from
the configuration file). The same applied to the blockNumber.
The last update of the smart contracts introduced events for each smart
contract constructor (initializer), which allows querying the initial variables
as well as the initial block number for each smart contract.
Now the synchronizer uses this information, and thus the initial variables and
the starting block numbers have been removed from the configuration.
- API:
- Replace `emergencyModeStaringTime` by `emercengyModeStartingBlock`
- Synchronizer:
- Track emergency mode starting block
- cli/node
- Add working coordinator config
- coordinator:
- Retry handler for synchronizer stats in case of error (instead of
waiting for the next block to try again)
- On init, trigger an initial call to the handler for synced block
before waiting for the synchronizer, to force the coordinator to start
its logic even if there's no new block right after the node has been
started (very useful for running in testnet where the frequency of
blocks is variable)
- Merge Msg for synced block and updated vars into one: `MsgSyncBlock`.
- API
- When updating network info, handle cases where no batches exists and
where no forgers exists
- cli/node
- Update `cfg.buidler.toml` config file to a working version
- common
- Add new smart contract structs and extend some existing ones to
reflect updates regarding events from the smart contracts
- SQL
- Add new tables and extend existing ones to reflect updates regarding
events from the smart contracts
- db/historydb
- Add functions to insert new smart contract events data
- Fix unclosed rows that led to inconsistent sql driver state (replace
NamedQuery by NamedExec). This fixes the error:
`pq: unexpected Parse response 'C'`
- db/l2db
- Close rows after usage
- eth
- In Rollup event, introduce a new UpdateBucketsParameter when there's a
SafeMode event, with `SafeMode = true`
- synchronizer
- synchronize new events
- avoid calling `auction.CanForge` before the genesisBlock to avoid
getting a revert.
- Common:
- Rename Block.EthBlockNum to Block.Num to avoid unneeded repetition
- API:
- Add UpdateNetworkInfoBlock to update just block information, to be
used when the node is not yet synchronized
- Node:
- Call API.UpdateMetrics and UpdateRecommendedFee in a loop, with
configurable time intervals
- Synchronizer:
- When mapping events by TxHash, use an array to support the possibility
of multiple calls of the same function happening in the same
transaction (for example, a smart contract in a single transaction
could call withdraw with delay twice, which would generate 2 withdraw
events, and 2 deposit events).
- In Stats, keep entire LastBlock instead of just the blockNum
- In Stats, add lastL1BatchBlock
- Test Stats and SCVars
- Coordinator:
- Enable writing the BatchInfo in every step of the pipeline to disk
(with JSON text files) for debugging purposes.
- Move the Pipeline functionality from the Coordinator to its own struct
(Pipeline)
- Implement shouldL1lL2Batch
- In TxManager, implement logic to perform several attempts when doing
ethereum node RPC calls before considering the error. (Both for calls
to forgeBatch and transaction receipt)
- In TxManager, reorganize the flow and note the specific points in
which actions are made when err != nil
- HistoryDB:
- Implement GetLastL1BatchBlockNum: returns the blockNum of the latest
forged l1Batch, to help the coordinator decide when to forge an
L1Batch.
- EthereumClient and test.Client:
- Update EthBlockByNumber to return the last block when the passed
number is -1.
- API:
- Modify the constructor so that hardcoded rollup constants don't need
to be passed (introduce a `Config` and use `configAPI` internally)
- Common:
- Update rollup constants with proper *big.Int when required
- Add BidCoordinator and Slot structs used by the HistoryDB and
Synchronizer.
- Add helper methods to AuctionConstants
- AuctionVariables: Add column `DefaultSlotSetBidSlotNum` (in the SQL
table: `default_slot_set_bid_slot_num`), which indicates at which
slotNum does the `DefaultSlotSetBid` specified starts applying.
- Config:
- Move coordinator exclusive configuration from the node config to the
coordinator config
- Coordinator:
- Reorganize the code towards having the goroutines started and stopped
from the coordinator itself instead of the node.
- Remove all stop and stopped channels, and use context.Context and
sync.WaitGroup instead.
- Remove BatchInfo setters and assing variables directly
- In ServerProof and ServerProofPool use context instead stop channel.
- Use message passing to notify the coordinator about sync updates and
reorgs
- Introduce the Pipeline, which can be started and stopped by the
Coordinator
- Introduce the TxManager, which manages ethereum transactions (the
TxManager is also in charge of making the forge call to the rollup
smart contract). The TxManager keeps ethereum transactions and:
1. Waits for the transaction to be accepted
2. Waits for the transaction to be confirmed for N blocks
- In forge logic, first prepare a batch and then wait for an available
server proof to have all work ready once the proof server is ready.
- Remove the `isForgeSequence` method which was querying the smart
contract, and instead use notifications sent by the Synchronizer to
figure out if it's forging time.
- Update test (which is a minimal test to manually see if the
coordinator starts)
- HistoryDB:
- Add method to get the number of batches in a slot (used to detect when
a slot has passed the bid winner forging deadline)
- Add method to get the best bid and associated coordinator of a slot
(used to detect the forgerAddress that can forge the slot)
- General:
- Rename some instances of `currentBlock` to `lastBlock` to be more
clear.
- Node:
- Connect the API to the node and call the methods to update cached
state when the sync advances blocks.
- Call methods to update Coordinator state when the sync advances blocks
and finds reorgs.
- Synchronizer:
- Add Auction field in the Stats, which contain the current slot with
info about highest bidder and other related info required to know who
can forge in the current block.
- Better organization of cached state:
- On Sync, update the internal cached state
- On Init or Reorg, load the state from HistoryDB into the
internal cached state.
