This table may get multiple updates depending on how many blocks get
added into a tipset. Each new block affects the tipset state, but the
parent state root will remain the same. This allows the very latest
value to be applied.
- When chainwatch is ran it will first start a Syncer that continuously collects blocks from the
ChainNotify channel and persists them to the blocks_synced table. Once the Syncer has caught the
blocks_synced table up to the lotus daemons current head a Processor is started. The Processor
selects a batch of contiguous blocks and extracts and stores their data. It attempts to do as much
work as it can in parallel. When the blocks are done being processed their corresponding
processed_at and is_processed fields in the blocks_synced table are filled out.
