* cmd, consensus, core, miner: instatx clique for --dev
* cmd, consensus, clique: support configurable --dev block times
* cmd, core: allow --dev to use persistent storage too
This commit introduces a network simulation framework which
can be used to run simulated networks of devp2p nodes. The
intention is to use this for testing protocols, performing
benchmarks and visualising emergent network behaviour.
* ethdb: add Putter interface and Has method
* ethdb: improve docs and add IdealBatchSize
* ethdb: remove memory batch lock
Batches are not safe for concurrent use.
* core: use ethdb.Putter for Write* functions
This covers the easy cases.
* core/state: simplify StateSync
* trie: optimize local node check
* ethdb: add ValueSize to Batch
* core: optimize HasHeader check
This avoids one random database read get the block number. For many uses
of HasHeader, the expectation is that it's actually there. Using Has
avoids a load + decode of the value.
* core: write fast sync block data in batches
Collect writes into batches up to the ideal size instead of issuing many
small, concurrent writes.
* eth/downloader: commit larger state batches
Collect nodes into a batch up to the ideal size instead of committing
whenever a node is received.
* core: optimize HasBlock check
This avoids a random database read to get the number.
* core: use numberCache in HasHeader
numberCache has higher capacity, increasing the odds of finding the
header without a database lookup.
* core: write imported block data using a batch
Restore batch writes of state and add blocks, tx entries, receipts to
the same batch. The change also simplifies the miner.
This commit also removes posting of logs when a forked block is imported.
* core: fix DB write error handling
* ethdb: use RLock for Has
* core: fix HasBlock comment
* cmd/evm: adds ability to run individual state test file
* cmd/evm: Fix statetest runner to be more json friendly
* cmd/evm, tests: minor polishes, dump state on fail
Previously, NewManifest was asynchronous so subsequent code which tried
to use the returned manifest could error as the manifest was not yet
persisted.
This patch updates the Address type in common/types.go so that the Hex
function provides an EIP55-compliant output string. The implementation is pretty lightweight;
on my laptop the benchmark gives 1100ns/op, with the majority of that value due to the Keccak hash.
* core: reduce txpool event loop goroutines and sync structs
* cmd, core, eth: journal local transactions to disk
* core: journal replacement pending transactions too
* core: separate transaction journal from pool
The previous attempt to use --ethapi as a fallback if --ens-api is not
set does not work because --ens-api has a default value, and also
setting --ens-api to "" is the suggested way to disable ENS lookups.

With this commit, core/state's access to the underlying key/value database is
mediated through an interface. Database errors are tracked in StateDB and
returned by CommitTo or the new Error method.
Motivation for this change: We can remove the light client's duplicated copy of
core/state. The light client now supports node iteration, so tracing and storage
enumeration can work with the light client (not implemented in this commit).
