- 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.
hermez-node

Go implementation of the Hermez node.
Developing
Go version
The hermez-node has been tested with go version 1.14
Unit testing
Running the unit tests requires a connection to a PostgreSQL database. You can
start PostgreSQL with docker easily this way (where yourpasswordhere should
be your password):
POSTGRES_PASS=yourpasswordhere sudo docker run --rm --name hermez-db-test -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_DB=hermez -e POSTGRES_USER=hermez -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD="$POSTGRES_PASS" -d postgres
Afterwards, run the tests with the password as env var:
POSTGRES_PASS=yourpasswordhere go test -p 1 ./...
NOTE: -p 1 forces execution of package test in serial. Otherwise they may be
executed in paralel and the test may find unexpected entries in the SQL databse
because it's shared among all tests.
There is an extra temporary option that allows you to run the API server using the Go tests. This will be removed once the API can be properly initialized, with data from the synchronizer and so on. To use this, run:
FAKE_SERVER=yes POSTGRES_PASS=yourpasswordhere go test -timeout 0 ./api -p 1 -count 1 -v`
Lint
All Pull Requests need to pass the configured linter.
To run the linter locally, first install golangci-lint. Afterwards you can check the lints with this command:
golangci-lint run --timeout=5m -E whitespace -E gosec -E gci -E misspell -E gomnd -E gofmt -E goimports -E golint --exclude-use-default=false --max-same-issues 0
Usage
Node
Proof Server
The node in mode coordinator requires a proof server (a server that is capable
of calculating proofs from the zkInputs). For testing purposes there is a mock
proof server cli at test/proofserver/cli.
Usage of test/proofserver/cli:
USAGE:
go run ./test/proofserver/cli OPTIONS
OPTIONS:
-a string
listen address (default "localhost:3000")
-d duration
proving time duration (default 2s)
/tmp as tmpfs
For every processed batch, the node builds a temporary exit tree in a key-value
DB stored in /tmp. It is highly recommended that /tmp is mounted as a RAM
file system in production to avoid unecessary reads an writes to disk. This
can be done by mounting /tmp as tmpfs; for example, by having this line in
/etc/fstab:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
