Implement mempool and consensus block creation policies, almost the same as
SimplePolicy plugin for C# node provides with two caveats:
* HighPriorityTxType is not configured and hardcoded to ClaimType
* BlockedAccounts are not supported
Other than that it allows us to run successfuly as testnet CN, previously our
proposals were rejected because we were proposing blocks with oversized
transactions (that are rejected by PoolTx() now).
Mainnet and testnet configuration files are updated accordingly, but privnet
is left as is with no limits.
Configuration is currently attached to the Blockchain and so is the code that
does policying, it may be moved somewhere in the future, but it works for
now.
Eliminate races between tx checks and adding them to the mempool, ensure the
chain doesn't change while we're working with the new tx. Ensure only one
block addition attempt could be in progress.
This one is designed to give more priority to direct nodes communication, that
is that their messaging would have more priority than generic broadcasts. It
should improve consensus process under TX pressure and allow to handle
pings in time (preventing disconnects).
Our node was too pingy because of wrong timer setups (that divided timeout
Duration by time.Second), it also was wrong in its time calculations (using
UTC time to calculate intervals). At the same time missing block is a
server-wide problem, so it's better solved with server-wide protocol loop.
1) Make timeout a timeout, don't do magic ping counts.
2) Drop additional timer from the main peer's protocol loop, create it
dynamically and make it disconnect the peer.
3) Don't expose the ping counter to the outside, handle more logic inside the
Peer.
Relates to #430.
Two queues for high-priority and ordinary messages. Fixes#590. These queues
are deliberately made small to avoid buffer bloat problem, there is gonna be
another queueing layer above them to compensate for that. The queues are
designed to be synchronous in enqueueing, async capabilities are to be added
layer above later.
add pingInterval same as used in ref C# implementation with the same logic
add pingTimeout which is used to check whether pong received. If not -- drop the peer.
add pingLimit which is hardcoded to 4 in TCPPeer. It's limit for unsuccessful ping/pong calls (where pong wasn't received in pingTimeout interval)
add dao which takes care about all CRUD operations on storage
remove blockchain state since everything is stored on change
remove storage operations from structs(entities)
move structs to entities package
add processing of validators while block persist;
add validator structure with decoding/encoding;
add validator get from store;
add EnrollmentTX and StateTX processing;
add pubkey decode bytes, unique and contains functions;
Extend Blockchainer with one more method to spawn a VM for test runs and use
it to run scripts. Gas consumption is not counted or limited in any way at the
moment (see #424).
If the block references two ouputs in some other transaction the code failed
to verify it because of key collision. C# code implements it properly by using
full CoinReference type as a key, so let's do it in a similar fashion.
This one will replace blockCache in Blockchain itself as it can and should be
external from it. The idea is that we only feed successive blocks into the
Blockchain and it only stores valid proper Blockchain and nothing else.
...and don't try to connect to the nodes we're already connected to.
Before this change we had a problem of discoverer throwing away good valid
addresses just because they are already known which lead to pool draining over
time (as address reuse was basically forbidden and getaddr may not get enough
new nodes).
