## Issue Addressed
Closes#800Closes#1713
## Proposed Changes
Implement the temporary state storage algorithm described in #800. Specifically:
* Add `DBColumn::BeaconStateTemporary`, for storing 0-length temporary marker values.
* Store intermediate states immediately as they are created, marked temporary. Delete the temporary flag if the block is processed successfully.
* Add a garbage collection process to delete leftover temporary states on start-up.
* Bump the database schema version to 2 so that a DB with temporary states can't accidentally be used with older versions of the software. The auto-migration is a no-op, but puts in place some infra that we can use for future migrations (e.g. #1784)
## Additional Info
There are two known race conditions, one potentially causing permanent faults (hopefully rare), and the other insignificant.
### Race 1: Permanent state marked temporary
EDIT: this has been fixed by the addition of a lock around the relevant critical section
There are 2 threads that are trying to store 2 different blocks that share some intermediate states (e.g. they both skip some slots from the current head). Consider this sequence of events:
1. Thread 1 checks if state `s` already exists, and seeing that it doesn't, prepares an atomic commit of `(s, s_temporary_flag)`.
2. Thread 2 does the same, but also gets as far as committing the state txn, finishing the processing of its block, and _deleting_ the temporary flag.
3. Thread 1 is (finally) scheduled again, and marks `s` as temporary with its transaction.
4.
a) The process is killed, or thread 1's block fails verification and the temp flag is not deleted. This is a permanent failure! Any attempt to load state `s` will fail... hope it isn't on the main chain! Alternatively (4b) happens...
b) Thread 1 finishes, and re-deletes the temporary flag. In this case the failure is transient, state `s` will disappear temporarily, but will come back once thread 1 finishes running.
I _hope_ that steps 1-3 only happen very rarely, and 4a even more rarely. It's hard to know
This once again begs the question of why we're using LevelDB (#483), when it clearly doesn't care about atomicity! A ham-fisted fix would be to wrap the hot and cold DBs in locks, which would bring us closer to how other DBs handle read-write transactions. E.g. [LMDB only allows one R/W transaction at a time](https://docs.rs/lmdb/0.8.0/lmdb/struct.Environment.html#method.begin_rw_txn).
### Race 2: Temporary state returned from `get_state`
I don't think this race really matters, but in `load_hot_state`, if another thread stores a state between when we call `load_state_temporary_flag` and when we call `load_hot_state_summary`, then we could end up returning that state even though it's only a temporary state. I can't think of any case where this would be relevant, and I suspect if it did come up, it would be safe/recoverable (having data is safer than _not_ having data).
This could be fixed by using a LevelDB read snapshot, but that would require substantial changes to how we read all our values, so I don't think it's worth it right now.
## Issue Addressed
Potentially resolves#1647 and sync stalls.
## Proposed Changes
The handling of the state of banned peers was inadequate for the complex peerdb data structure. We store a limited number of disconnected and banned peers in the db. We were not tracking intermediate "disconnecting" states and the in some circumstances we were updating the peer state without informing the peerdb. This lead to a number of inconsistencies in the peer state.
Further, the peer manager could ban a peer changing a peer's state from being connected to banned. In this circumstance, if the peer then disconnected, we didn't inform the application layer, which lead to applications like sync not being informed of a peers disconnection. This could lead to sync stalling and having to require a lighthouse restart.
Improved handling for peer states and interactions with the peerdb is made in this PR.
## Proposed Changes
A couple of minor fixes to the testnet scripts.
First, `clean.sh` only attempts to remove the directory if it exists. This ensures a good exit code even if the directory is not present.
Second, `setup.sh` uses an updated deposit contract address to match that in the generated spec to allow the chain to start.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1727
## Proposed Changes
Remove the `lighthouse account validator deposit` command.
It's a shame to let this go, but it's currently lacking any tests and contains significant, un-handled edge-cases (e.g., it will wait forever until the eth1 node gives a tx confirmation and if you ctrl+c it before it finishes it will leave the filesystem in an unknown state with lockfiles lying around)
I don't think we need to make deposit functionality a priority before mainnet, we have bigger fish to fry IMO.
We, will need to revive this functionality before the next testnet, but I think we should make private, non-production tools to handle this for SigP internally.
## Additional Info
Be sure to re-open #1331 if this PR is abandoned.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#1769Closes#1708
## Proposed Changes
Tweaks the op pool pruning so that the attestation pool is pruned against the wall-clock epoch instead of the finalized state's epoch. This should reduce the unbounded growth that we've seen during periods without finality.
Also fixes up the voluntary exit pruning as raised in #1708.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1766
## Proposed Changes
- Use the `warp::filters::cors` filter instead of our work-around.
## Additional Info
It's not trivial to enable/disable `cors` using `warp`, since using `routes.with(cors)` changes the type of `routes`. This makes it difficult to apply/not apply cors at runtime. My solution has been to *always* use the `warp::filters::cors` wrapper but when cors should be disabled, just pass the HTTP server listen address as the only permissible origin.
## Issue Addressed
`node` endpoints in #1434
## Proposed Changes
Implement these:

- Add an `Option<Enr>` to `PeerInfo`
- Finish implementation of `/eth/v1/node/identity`
## Additional Info
- should update the `peers` endpoints when #1764 is resolved

## Issue Addressed
#1614 and a couple of sync-stalling problems, the most important is a cyclic dependency between the sync manager and the peer manager
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1557
## Proposed Changes
Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations).
In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes:
* Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below).
* Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on
And chose to make some clean-ups:
* Delete the `NullMigrator`
* Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code)
* Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run.
* Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness`
## Testing
To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here:
https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557
That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with:
```
$ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain
$ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger
```
It should pass, and the log output should show:
```
WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely!
```
## Additional Info
This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

## Proposed Changes
Adds a direction field to `PeerConnectionStatus` that can be accessed by calling `is_outgoing` which will return `true` iff the peer is connected and the first connection was an outgoing one.

## Proposed Changes
Adds a gossipsub topic filter that only allows subscribing and incoming subscriptions from valid ETH2 topics.
## Additional Info
Currently the preparation of the valid topic hashes uses only the current fork id but in the future it must also use all possible future fork ids for planned forks. This has to get added when hard coded forks get implemented.
DO NOT MERGE: We first need to merge the libp2p changes (see https://github.com/sigp/rust-libp2p/pull/70) so that we can refer from here to a commit hash inside the lighthouse branch.
## Proposed Changes
Implement the new message id function (see https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/2089) using an additional fast message id function for better performance + caching decompressed data.
## Proposed Changes
* Add documentation about slashing protection, including how to troubleshoot issues and move between clients.
* Add an error message if the validator client is started with 0 validators. Previously it would hit an error relating to the slashing protection database not existing, which wrongly pushed people towards using the unsafe `--init-slashing-protection` flag.
It looks like the default docker image used by cross doesn't have
wget installed. This causes builds to fail. This can be fixed by
switching to curl.

This PR limits the length of the stream received by the snappy decoder to be the maximum allowed size for the received rpc message type. Also adds further checks to ensure that the length specified in the rpc [encoding-dependent header](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/dev/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#encoding-strategies) is within the bounds for the rpc message type being decoded.

## Proposed Changes
- Add `directory::ensure_dir_exists` to the `ValidatorDefinition::open_or_create` method
- As @pawanjay176 suggested, making the `--validator-dir` non-global so users are forced to include the flag after the `validator` subcommand. Current behavior seems to be ignoring the flag if it comes after something like `validator import`

## Issue Addressed
#1618
## Proposed Changes
Adds an encrypted key cache that is loaded on validator_client startup. It stores the keypairs for all enabled keystores and uses as password the concatenation the passwords of all enabled keystores. This reduces the number of time intensive key derivitions for `N` validators from `N` to `1`. On changes the cache gets updated asynchronously to avoid blocking the main thread.
## Additional Info
If the cache contains the keypair of a keystore that is not in the validator_definitions.yml file during loading the cache cannot get decrypted. In this case all the keystores get decrypted and then the cache gets overwritten. To avoid that one can disable keystores in validator_definitions.yml and restart the client which will remove them from the cache, after that one can entirely remove the keystore (from the validator_definitions.yml and from the disk).
Other solutions to the above "problem" might be:
* Add a CLI and/or API function for removing keystores which will update the cache (asynchronously).
* Add a CLI and/or API function that just updates the cache (asynchronously) after a modification of the `validator_definitions.yml` file.
Note that the cache file has a lock file which gets removed immediatly after the cache was used or updated.

## Issue Addressed
Downgrade inconsistent chain segment states from `panic` to `crit`. I don't love this solution but since range can always bounce back from any of those, we don't panic.

## Issue Addressed
chain state inconsistencies
## Proposed Changes
- a batch can be fake-failed by Range if it needs to move a peer to another chain. The peer will still send blocks/ errors / produce timeouts for those requests, so check when we get a response from the RPC that the request id matches, instead of only the peer, since a re-request can be directed to the same peer.
- if an optimistic batch succeeds, store the attempt to avoid trying it again when quickly switching chains. Also, use it only if ahead of our current target, instead of the segment's start epoch
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Uses a `Drop` implementation to help ensure that `BeaconProcessor` workers are freed. This will help prevent against regression, if someone happens to add an early return and it will also help in the case of a panic.
