This PR adds a new accessor method to the freezer database. This new view offers a consistent interface, guaranteeing that all individual tables (headers, bodies etc) are all on the same number, and that this number is not changes (added/truncated) while the operation is performing.
This commit adds a ModifyAncients hook that plugins can implement
to more accurately track what Geth is doing under the hood. We
still support the old AppendAncients interface as best we can,
though internal changes may make it so that it does not behave
as it once did.
This change is a rewrite of the freezer code.
When writing ancient chain data to the freezer, the previous version first encoded each
individual item to a temporary buffer, then wrote the buffer. For small item sizes (for
example, in the block hash freezer table), this strategy causes a lot of system calls for
writing tiny chunks of data. It also allocated a lot of temporary []byte buffers.
In the new version, we instead encode multiple items into a re-useable batch buffer, which
is then written to the file all at once. This avoids performing a system call for every
inserted item.
To make the internal batching work, the ancient database API had to be changed. While
integrating this new API in BlockChain.InsertReceiptChain, additional optimizations were
also added there.

This PR significantly changes the APIs for instantiating Ethereum nodes in
a Go program. The new APIs are not backwards-compatible, but we feel that
this is made up for by the much simpler way of registering services on
node.Node. You can find more information and rationale in the design
document: https://gist.github.com/renaynay/5bec2de19fde66f4d04c535fd24f0775.
There is also a new feature in Node's Go API: it is now possible to
register arbitrary handlers on the user-facing HTTP server. In geth, this
facility is used to enable GraphQL.
There is a single minor change relevant for geth users in this PR: The
GraphQL API is no longer available separately from the JSON-RPC HTTP
server. If you want GraphQL, you need to enable it using the
./geth --http --graphql flag combination.
The --graphql.port and --graphql.addr flags are no longer available.
This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.
The ancients variable in the freezer is a list of hashes, which
identifies all of the hashes to be frozen. The slice is being allocated
with a capacity of `limit`, which is the number of the last block
this batch will attempt to add to the freezer. That means we are
allocating memory for all of the blocks in the freezer, not just
the ones to be added.
If instead we allocate `limit - f.frozen`, we will only allocate
enough space for the blocks we're about to add to the freezer. On
mainnet this reduces usage by about 320 MB.
* core/rawdb: Stop freezer process as part of freezer.Close()
When you call db.Close(), it was closing the leveldb database first,
then closing the freezer, but never stopping the freezer process.
This could cause the freezer to attempt to write to leveldb after
leveldb had been closed, leading to a crash with a non-zero exit code.
This change adds a quit channel to the freezer, and freezer.Close()
will not return until the freezer process has stopped.
Additionally, when you call freezerdb.Close(), it will close the
AncientStore before closing leveldb, to ensure that the freezer goroutine
will be stopped before leveldb is closed.
