- Event keys are now t1, t2, t3, t4 for topics; and d for data.
- ref-fvm no longer stores events in the blockstore for us. It just
returns events to the client, who is now responsible for handling
them as it wishes / according to its configuration.
- Add a flag to VMOpts to have the events AMT be written in the blockstore.
- Add a flag to the ChainStore to advertise to the rest of the system
if the ChainStore is storing events.
- Enable that flag if the EthRPC is enabled (can also add an explicit
configuration flag if wanted).
1. Include the builtin-actors in the lotus source tree.
2. Embed the bundle on build instead of downloading at runtime.
3. Avoid reading the bundle whenever possible by including bundle
metadata (the bundle CID, the actor CIDs, etc.).
4. Remove everything related to dependency injection.
1. We're no longer downloading the bundle, so doing anything ahead
of time doesn't really help.
2. We register the manifests on init because, unfortunately, they're
global.
3. We explicitly load the current actors bundle in the genesis
state-tree method.
4. For testing, we just change the in-use bundle with a bit of a
hack. It's not great, but using dependency injection doesn't make
any sense either because, again, the manifest information is
global.
5. Remove the bundle.toml file. Bundles may be overridden by
specifying an override path in the parameters file, or an
environment variable.
fixes#8701
This paves the way for better object lifetime management.
Concretely, it makes it possible to:
- have different stores backing chain and state data.
- having the same datastore library, but using different parameters.
- attach different caching layers/policies to each class of data, e.g.
sizing caches differently.
- specifying different retention policies for chain and state data.
This separation is important because:
- access patterns/frequency of chain and state data are different.
- state is derivable from chain, so one could never expunge the chain
store, and only retain state objects reachable from the last finality
in the state store.
Motivation:
* Run lotus with the race detector enabled (primary motivation).
* Allow multiple lotus nodes in a process (not a high priority).
Previously, the journal was shared between all lotus instances, but it was
initialized for every new node. This caused safety problems in tests (at a
minimum).
This patch explicitly passes the journal to all services that need it.
