It's used a lot and it looks a lot like MemoryStore, it just needs not to
return errors from Put and Delete, so make it use MemoryStore internally with
adjusted interface.
Make it look more like a real transaction, put/delete things with a single
lock. Make a copy of value in Put also, just for safety purposes, no one knows
how this value slice can be used after the Put.
Using pointers is just plain wrong here, because the batch can be updated with
newer values for the same keys.
Fixes Seek() to use HasPrefix also because this is the intended behavior.
BoltDB doesn't have internal batching mechanism, thus we have a substitute for
it, but this substitute is absolutely identical to MemoryBatch, so it's better
to unify them and import ac5d2f94d3 fix into the
MemoryBatch.
Commit 578ac414d4 was wrong in that it saved
only a part of the block, so depending on how you use blockchain, you may
still see that the block was not really processed properly. To really fix it
this commit introduces intermediate storage layer in form of memStore, which
actually is a MemoryStore that supports full Store API (thus easily fitting
into the existing code) and one extension that allows it to flush its data to
some other Store.
It also changes AddBlock() semantics in that it only accepts now successive
blocks, but when it does it guarantees that they're properly added into the
Blockchain and can be referred to in any way. Pending block queing is now
moved into the server (see 8c0c055ac657813fe3ed10257bce199e9527d5ed).
So the only thing done with persist() now is just a move from memStore to
Store which probably should've always been the case (notice also that
previously headers and some other metadata was written into the Store
bypassing caching/batching mechanism thus leading to some inefficiency).
It must copy both the value and the key because they can be reused for other
purposes between Put() and PutBatch(). This actually happens with values in
headers processing, leading to wrong data being written into the DB.
Extend the batch test to check for that.
The logic here is that we'll have all binary encoding/decoding done via our io
package, which simplifies error handling. This functionality doesn't belong to
util, so it's moved.
This also expands BufBinWriter with Reset() method to fit the needs of core
package.
add close function to storage interface
add common defer function call which will close db connection
remove context as soon as it's not needed anymore
updated unit tests
In the unlikely event of overlapping hash block written to the DB we might end
up with wrong hash list. That happened to me for some reason when synching
with the testnet leading to the following keys with respective values:
150000 -> 2000 hashes
152000 -> 2000 hashes
153999 -> 2000 hashes
Reading it hashes number 153999 and 154000 got the same values and the chain
couldn't sync correctly.
