## Issue Addressed Successor to #2431 ## Proposed Changes * Add a `BlockReplayer` struct to abstract over the intricacies of calling `per_slot_processing` and `per_block_processing` while avoiding unnecessary tree hashing. * Add a variant of the forwards state root iterator that does not require an `end_state`. * Use the `BlockReplayer` when reconstructing states in the database. Use the efficient forwards iterator for frozen states. * Refactor the iterators to remove `Arc<HotColdDB>` (this seems to be neater than making _everything_ an `Arc<HotColdDB>` as I did in #2431). Supplying the state roots allow us to avoid building a tree hash cache at all when reconstructing historic states, which saves around 1 second flat (regardless of `slots-per-restore-point`). This is a small percentage of worst-case state load times with 200K validators and SPRP=2048 (~15s vs ~16s) but a significant speed-up for more frequent restore points: state loads with SPRP=32 should be now consistently <500ms instead of 1.5s (a ~3x speedup). ## Additional Info Required by https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2628 |

Consensus Specification Tests
This crate parses and executes the test vectors at ethereum/consensus-spec-tests.
Functionality is achieved only via the $ cargo test --features ef_tests
command.
Running the Tests
Because the test vectors are very large, we do not download or run them by default. To download them, run (in this directory):
$ make
Note: this may download hundreds of MB of compressed archives from the ethereum/consensus-spec-tests, which may expand into several GB of files.
If successful, you should now have the extracted tests in ./consensus-spec-tests
.
Run them with:
$ cargo test --features ef_tests
The tests won't run without the ef_tests
feature enabled (this is to ensure that a top-level
cargo test --all
won't fail on missing files).
Saving Space
When you download the tests, the downloaded archives will be kept in addition to the extracted files. You have several options for saving space:
- Delete the archives (
make clean-archives
), and keep the extracted files. Suitable for everyday use, just don't re-runmake
or it will redownload the archives. - Delete the extracted files (
make clean-test-files
), and keep the archives. Suitable for CI, or temporarily saving space. If you re-runmake
it will extract the archives rather than redownloading them. - Delete everything (
make clean
). Good for updating to a new version, or if you no longer wish to run the EF tests.
