We currently use the is_connected field to be able to signal to
ReplayStage that a slot has replayable updates. It was discovered that
this functionality is effectively broken, and that is_connected is never
true. In order to convey this information to ReplayStage more
effectively, we need extra state information so this PR changes the
existing bool to bitflags with two bits.
From a compatibility standpoint, the is_connected bool was already
occupying one byte in the serialized SlotMeta in blockstore. Thus, the
change from a bool to bitflags still "fits" in that one byte allotment.
In consideration of a case where a client may wish to downgrade software
and use the same ledger, deserializing the bitflags into a bool could
fail if the new bit is set. As such, this PR introduces the second bit
field, but does not set it anywhere. Once clusters have mass adopted a
software version with this PR, a subsequent change to actually set and
use the new field can be introduced.
The num_repair field is only blockstore insertion metric being updated
outside of Blockstore::insert() call chain; move the update to insert()
with the rest of the fields in BlockstoreInsertionMetrics struct.
The manual Blockstore compaction that was being initiated from
LedgerCleanupService has been disabled for quite some time in favor of
several optimizations.

#### Summary of Changes
Removes the constant default for ShredStorageType::RocksFifo
as the shred storage size is either user-specified or derived
from --limit-ledger-size in #27459.
#### Problem
The current implementation of get_slots_since() invokes multiple rocksdb::get().
As a result, each get() operation may end up requiring one disk read. This leads
to poor performance of get_slots_since described in #24878.
#### Summary of Changes
This PR makes get_slots_since() use the batched version of multi_get() instead,
which allows multiple get operations to be processed in batch so that they can
be answered with fewer disk reads.
#### Problem
Blockstore operations such as get_slots_since() issues multiple rocksdb::get()
at once which is not optimal for performance.
#### Summary of Changes
This PR adds LedgerColumn::multi_get() based on rocksdb::batched_multi_get(),
the optimized version of multi_get() where get requests are processed in batch
to minimize read I/O.
Add ledger-tool command print-file-metadata
#### Summary of Changes
This PR adds a ledger tool subcommand print-file-metadata.
```
USAGE:
solana-ledger-tool print-file-metadata [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [SST_FILE_NAME]
Prints the metadata of the specified ledger-store file.
If no file name is unspecified, then it will print the metadata of all ledger files
```
#### Summary of Changes
Add code comments for lowest_cleanup_slot related functions to improve
the code readability for the consistency between blockstore purge logic
and the read side.
#### Problem
RocksDB's delete_range applies to [from, to) while delete_file_in_range
applies to [from, to] by default, and the rust-rocksdb api does not include
the option to make delete_file_in_range apply to [from, to). Such inconsistency
might cause `blockstore::run_purge` to produce an inconsistent result as it
invokes both delete_range and delete_file_in_range.
#### Summary of Changes
This PR makes all our purge / delete related functions to be inclusive
on both starting and ending slots.
Tenets:
1. Limit thread names to 15 characters
2. Prefix all Solana-controlled threads with "sol"
3. Use Camel case. It's more character dense than Snake or Kebab case
The commit
* Identifies Merkle shreds when recovering from erasure codes and
dispatches specialized code to reconstruct shreds.
* Coding shred headers are added to recovered erasure shards.
* Merkle tree is reconstructed for the erasure batch and added to
recovered shreds.
* The common signature (for the root of Merkle tree) is attached to all
recovered shreds.
#### Problem
get_entries_in_data_block() panics when there's inconsistency between
slot_meta and data_shred.
However, as we don't lock on reads, reading across multiple column families is
not atomic (especially for older slots) and thus does not guarantee consistency
as the background cleanup service could purge the slot in the middle. Such
panic was reported in #26980 when the validator serves a high load of RPC calls.
#### Summary of Changes
This PR makes get_entries_in_data_block() panic only when the inconsistency
between slot-meta and data-shred happens on a slot older than lowest_cleanup_slot.
Given the 32:32 erasure recovery schema, current implementation requires
exactly 32 data shreds to generate coding shreds for the batch (except
for the final erasure batch in each slot).
As a result, when serializing ledger entries to data shreds, if the
number of data shreds is not a multiple of 32, the coding shreds for the
last batch cannot be generated until there are more data shreds to
complete the batch to 32 data shreds. This adds latency in generating
and broadcasting coding shreds.
In addition, with Merkle variants for shreds, data shreds cannot be
signed and broadcasted until coding shreds are also generated. As a
result *both* code and data shreds will be delayed before broadcast if
we still require exactly 32 data shreds for each batch.
This commit instead always generates and broadcast coding shreds as soon
as there any number of data shreds available. When serializing entries
to shreds:
* if the number of resulting data shreds is less than 32, then more
coding shreds will be generated so that the resulting erasure batch
has the same recovery probabilities as a 32:32 batch.
* if the number of data shreds is more than 32, then the data shreds are
split uniformly into erasure batches with _at least_ 32 data shreds in
each batch. Each erasure batch will have the same number of code and
data shreds.
For example:
* If there are 19 data shreds, 27 coding shreds are generated. The
resulting 19(data):27(code) erasure batch has the same recovery
probabilities as a 32:32 batch.
* If there are 107 data shreds, they are split into 3 batches of 36:36,
36:36 and 35:35 data:code shreds each.
A consequence of this change is that code and data shreds indices will
no longer align as there will be more coding shreds than data shreds
(not only in the last batch in each slot but also in the intermediate
ones);
#### Problem
Ledger-tool doesn't support shred-compaction-type other than the default rocksdb level compaction.
#### Summary of Changes
This PR enables ledger-tool to automatically detect the shred-compaction-type of the specified ledger.
#### Test Plan
New ledger-tool tests are added for both level and fifo compactions.
#### Summary of Changes
Blockstore::blockstore_directory() function takes a ShredStorageType and returns a path.
As it's a ShredStorageType related function, moving it under ShredStorageType as a
member function is a better fit.
In addition, as we start doing automatic shred compaction type selection under ledger-tool,
it becomes more convenient to reuse the function and const under blockstore_options
namespace instead of blockstore.
* slots_connected check used by ledger-tool should not require a full slot for snapshot slot
* Cleaner Result<Option<>> unwrap/default
* return false if no meta for starting slot
* Add clarifying comments
Fully deserializing shreds in window-service before sending them to
retransmit stage adds latency to shreds propagation.
This commit instead channels through the payload and relies on only
partial deserialization of a few required fields: slot, shred-index,
shred-type.
Shred slot and parent are not verified until window-service where
resources are already wasted to sig-verify and deserialize shreds.
This commit moves above verification to earlier in the pipeline in fetch
stage.
* Make sure to root local slots even with hard fork
* Address review comments
* Cleanup a bit
* Further clean up
* Further clean up a bit
* Add comment
* Tweak hard fork reconciliation code placement
In prepration of
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/pull/25807
which reworks erasure batch sizes, this commit:
* adds a helper function mapping the number of data shreds to the
erasure batch size.
* adds ProcessShredsStats to Shredder::entries_to_shreds in order to
replace and remove entries_to_data_shreds from the public interface.
