2012-10-20Add gettxout and gettxoutsetinfo RPCsPieter Wuille
2012-10-20Add LevelDB MemEnv supportPieter Wuille
Support LevelDB memory-backed environments, and use them in unit tests.
2012-10-20LevelDB block and coin databasesPieter Wuille
Split off CBlockTreeDB and CCoinsViewDB into txdb-*.{cpp,h} files, implemented by either LevelDB or BDB. Based on code from earlier commits by Mike Hearn in his leveldb branch.
2012-10-20Flush and sync block dataPieter Wuille
2012-10-20Use singleton block tree database instancePieter Wuille
2012-10-20Prepare database format for multi-stage block processingPieter Wuille
This commit adds a status field and a transaction counter to the block indexes.
2012-10-20Automatically reorganize at startup to best known blockPieter Wuille
Given that the block tree database (chain.dat) and the active chain database (coins.dat) are entirely separate now, it becomes legal to swap one with another instance without affecting the other. This commit introduces a check in the startup code that detects the presence of a better chain in chain.dat that has not been activated yet, and does so efficiently (in batch, while reusing the blk???.dat files).
2012-10-20Direct CCoins referencesPieter Wuille
To prevent excessive copying of CCoins in and out of the CCoinsView implementations, introduce a GetCoins() function in CCoinsViewCache with returns a direct reference. The block validation and connection logic is updated to require caching CCoinsViews, and exploits the GetCoins() function heavily.
2012-10-20Transaction hash cachingPieter Wuille
Use CBlock's vMerkleTree to cache transaction hashes, and pass them along as argument in more function calls. During initial block download, this results in every transaction's hash to be only computed once.
2012-10-20Batch block connection during IBDPieter Wuille
During the initial block download (or -loadblock), delay connection of new blocks a bit, and perform them in a single action. This reduces the load on the database engine, as subsequent blocks often update an earlier block's transaction already.
2012-10-20UltraprunePieter Wuille
This switches bitcoin's transaction/block verification logic to use a "coin database", which contains all unredeemed transaction output scripts, amounts and heights. The name ultraprune comes from the fact that instead of a full transaction index, we only (need to) keep an index with unspent outputs. For now, the blocks themselves are kept as usual, although they are only necessary for serving, rescanning and reorganizing. The basic datastructures are CCoins (representing the coins of a single transaction), and CCoinsView (representing a state of the coins database). There are several implementations for CCoinsView. A dummy, one backed by the coins database (coins.dat), one backed by the memory pool, and one that adds a cache on top of it. FetchInputs, ConnectInputs, ConnectBlock, DisconnectBlock, ... now operate on a generic CCoinsView. The block switching logic now builds a single cached CCoinsView with changes to be committed to the database before any changes are made. This means no uncommitted changes are ever read from the database, and should ease the transition to another database layer which does not support transactions (but does support atomic writes), like LevelDB. For the getrawtransaction() RPC call, access to a txid-to-disk index would be preferable. As this index is not necessary or even useful for any other part of the implementation, it is not provided. Instead, getrawtransaction() uses the coin database to find the block height, and then scans that block to find the requested transaction. This is slow, but should suffice for debug purposes.
2012-10-20Pre-allocate block and undo files in chunksPieter Wuille
Introduce a AllocateFileRange() function in util, which wipes or at least allocates a given range of a file. It can be overriden by more efficient OS-dependent versions if necessary. Block and undo files are now allocated in chunks of 16 and 1 MiB, respectively.
2012-10-20Multiple blocks per filePieter Wuille
Change the block storage layer again, this time with multiple files per block, but tracked by txindex.dat database entries. The file format is exactly the same as the earlier blk00001.dat, but with smaller files (128 MiB for now). The database entries track how many bytes each block file already uses, how many blocks are in it, which range of heights is present and which range of dates.
2012-10-20Preliminary undo file creationPieter Wuille
Create files (one per block) with undo information for the transactions in it.
2012-10-20One file per blockPieter Wuille
Refactor of the block storage code, which now stores one file per block. This will allow easier pruning, as blocks can be removed individually.
2012-10-20Add CTxUndo: transaction undo informationPieter Wuille
The CTxUndo class encapsulates data necessary to undo the effects of a transaction on the txout set, namely the previous outputs consumed by it (script + amount), and potentially transaction meta-data when it is spent entirely.
2012-10-20Add CCoins: pruned list of transaction outputsPieter Wuille
The CCoins class represents a pruned set of transaction outputs from a given transaction. It only retains information about its height in the block chain, whether it was a coinbase transaction, and its unspent outputs (script + amount). It has a custom serializer that has very low redundancy.
2012-10-20Compact serialization for amountsPieter Wuille
Special serializer/deserializer for amount values. It is optimized for values which have few non-zero digits in decimal representation. Most amounts currently in the txout set take only 1 or 2 bytes to represent.
2012-10-20Compact serialization for scriptsPieter Wuille
Special serializers for script which detect common cases and encode them much more efficiently. 3 special cases are defined: * Pay to pubkey hash (encoded as 21 bytes) * Pay to script hash (encoded as 21 bytes) * Pay to pubkey starting with 0x02, 0x03 or 0x04 (encoded as 33 bytes) Other scripts up to 121 bytes require 1 byte + script length. Above that, scripts up to 16505 bytes require 2 bytes + script length.
2012-10-20Compact serialization for variable-length integersPieter Wuille
Variable-length integers: bytes are a MSB base-128 encoding of the number. The high bit in each byte signifies whether another digit follows. To make the encoding is one-to-one, one is subtracted from all but the last digit. Thus, the byte sequence a[] with length len, where all but the last byte has bit 128 set, encodes the number: (a[len-1] & 0x7F) + sum(i=1..len-1, 128^i*((a[len-i-1] & 0x7F)+1)) Properties: * Very small (0-127: 1 byte, 128-16511: 2 bytes, 16512-2113663: 3 bytes) * Every integer has exactly one encoding * Encoding does not depend on size of original integer type
