Michael Sproul 556190ff46 Compact database on finalization (#1871)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #1866

## Proposed Changes

* Compact the database on finalization. This removes the deleted states from disk completely. Because it happens in the background migrator, it doesn't block other database operations while it runs. On my Medalla node it took about 1 minute and shrank the database from 90GB to 9GB.
* Fix an inefficiency in the pruning algorithm where it would always use the genesis checkpoint as the `old_finalized_checkpoint` when running for the first time after start-up. This would result in loading lots of states one-at-a-time back to genesis, and storing a lot of block roots in memory. The new code stores the old finalized checkpoint on disk and only uses genesis if no checkpoint is already stored. This makes it both backwards compatible _and_ forwards compatible -- no schema change required!
* Introduce two new `INFO` logs to indicate when pruning has started and completed. Users seem to want to know this information without enabling debug logs!

Lighthouse: Ethereum 2.0

An open-source Ethereum 2.0 client, written in Rust and maintained by Sigma Prime.

🚨🚨🚨 Note: Lighthouse is not yet ready to produce mainnet deposits. The developers will require some time to test against the mainnet deposit contract, once it is released. DO NOT SUBMIT VALIDATOR DEPOSITS WITH LIGHTHOUSE. 🚨🚨🚨

Overview

Lighthouse is:

  • Fully open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0.
  • Security-focused. Fuzzing has begun and security reviews are underway.
  • Built in Rust, a modern language providing unique safety guarantees and excellent performance (comparable to C++).
  • Funded by various organisations, including Sigma Prime, the Ethereum Foundation, ConsenSys and private individuals.
  • Actively involved in the specification and security analysis of the Ethereum 2.0 specification.

Like all Ethereum 2.0 clients, Lighthouse is a work-in-progress.

Eth2 Deposit Contract

The Lighthouse team acknowledges 0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa as the canonical Eth2 deposit contract address.

Development Status

Current development overview:

  • Specification v1.0.0 implemented, optimized and passing test vectors.
  • Rust-native libp2p with Gossipsub and Discv5.
  • RESTful JSON API via HTTP server.
  • Events via WebSocket.
  • Metrics via Prometheus.

Roadmap

  • April 2019: Inital single-client testnets.
  • September 2019: Inter-operability with other Ethereum 2.0 clients.
  • Q1 2020: lighthouse-0.1.0 release: All major phase 0 features implemented.
  • Q2 2020: Public, multi-client testnet with user-facing functionality.
  • Q2 2020: Third-party security review.
  • Q4 2020: Long-lived, multi-client Beacon Chain testnet
  • Q4 2020: Additional third-party security reviews.
  • Q4 2020: Production Beacon Chain (tentative).
