Paul Hauner c895dc8971 Shift HTTP server heavy-lifting to blocking executor (#1518)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Shift practically all HTTP endpoint handlers to the blocking executor (some very light tasks are left on the core executor).

## Additional Info

This PR covers the `rest_api` which will soon be refactored to suit the standard API. As such, I've cut a few corners and left some existing issues open in this patch. What I have done here should leave the API in state that is not necessary *exactly* the same, but good enough for us to run validators with. Specifically, the number of blocking workers that can be spawned is unbounded and I have not implemented a queue; this will need to be fixed when we implement the standard API.

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 emerging Ethereum 2.0 specification.

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

Development Status

Current development overview:

  • Specification v0.12.1 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.
  • Q3 2020: Additional third-party security reviews.
  • Q3 2020: Long-lived, multi-client Beacon Chain testnet
  • Q4 2020: Production Beacon Chain (tentative).

Documentation

The Lighthouse Book contains information for testnet users and developers.

Code documentation is generated via cargo doc and hosted at lighthouse-docs.sigmaprime.io.
