- 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.
In the metrics query, the estimatedTimeToForgeL1 was probably not being read
from the SQL query because it contained upper case letters, and in PostgreSQL
when identifiers are not double quoted they are case insensitive:
