Ignore NotFound errors in the syncer (#3131) 2021-12-02 11:28:20 -03:00
teor c85ea18b43
Fix slow Zebra startup times, to reduce CI failures (#3104)
* Tweak a log message

* Only retry failed DNS once, then use the other DNS responses

* Limit broadcasts to half the peers

* Use a longer minimum interval for GetAddr requests

* Reduce the syncer and mempool crawler fanouts

* Stop resetting the mempool twice when it starts up

This spawns two crawlers, which send two fanouts,
so it can use up a lot of peers.

Update to Tokio 1.13.0 (#2994)
* Update `tower` to version `0.4.9`

Update to latest version to add support for Tokio version 1.

* Replace usage of `ServiceExt::ready_and`

It was deprecated in favor of `ServiceExt::ready`.

* Update Tokio dependency to version `1.13.0`

This will break the build because the code isn't ready for the update,
but future commits will fix the issues.

* Replace import of `tokio::stream::StreamExt`

Use `futures::stream::StreamExt` instead, because newer versions of
Tokio don't have the `stream` feature.

* Use `IntervalStream` in `zebra-network`

In newer versions of Tokio `Interval` doesn't implement `Stream`, so the
wrapper types from `tokio-stream` have to be used instead.

* Use `IntervalStream` in `inventory_registry`

In newer versions of Tokio the `Interval` type doesn't implement
`Stream`, so `tokio_stream::wrappers::IntervalStream` has to be used
instead.

* Use `BroadcastStream` in `inventory_registry`

In newer versions of Tokio `broadcast::Receiver` doesn't implement
`Stream`, so `tokio_stream::wrappers::BroadcastStream` instead. This
also requires changing the error type that is used.

* Handle `Semaphore::acquire` error in `tower-batch`

Newer versions of Tokio can return an error if the semaphore is closed.
This shouldn't happen in `tower-batch` because the semaphore is never
closed.

* Handle `Semaphore::acquire` error in `zebrad` test

On newer versions of Tokio `Semaphore::acquire` can return an error if
the semaphore is closed. This shouldn't happen in the test because the
semaphore is never closed.

* Update some `zebra-network` dependencies

Use versions compatible with Tokio version 1.

* Upgrade Hyper to version 0.14

Use a version that supports Tokio version 1.

* Update `metrics` dependency to version 0.17

And also update the `metrics-exporter-prometheus` to version 0.6.1.
These updates are to make sure Tokio 1 is supported.

* Use `f64` as the histogram data type

`u64` isn't supported as the histogram data type in newer versions of
`metrics`.

* Update the initialization of the metrics component

Make it compatible with the new version of `metrics`.

* Simplify build version counter

Remove all constants and use the new `metrics::incement_counter!` macro.

* Change metrics output line to match on

The snapshot string isn't included in the newer version of
`metrics-exporter-prometheus`.

* Update `sentry` to version 0.23.0

Use a version compatible with Tokio version 1.

* Remove usage of `TracingIntegration`

This seems to not be available from `sentry-tracing` anymore, so it
needs to be replaced.

* Add sentry layer to tracing initialization

This seems like the replacement for `TracingIntegration`.

* Remove unnecessary conversion

Suggested by a Clippy lint.

* Update Cargo lock file

Apply all of the updates to dependencies.

* Ban duplicate tokio dependencies

Also ban git sources for tokio dependencies.

* Stop allowing sentry-tracing git repository in `deny.toml`

* Allow remaining duplicates after the tokio upgrade

* Use C: drive for CI build output on Windows

GitHub Actions uses a Windows image with two disk drives, and the
default D: drive is smaller than the C: drive. Zebra currently uses a
lot of space to build, so it has to use the C: drive to avoid CI build
failures because of insufficient space.

Fix synchronization delay issue (#2921)
* Create a `NowOrLater` helper type

A replacement for `FutureExt::now_or_never` that ensures that the task
is scheduled for waking up later when the inner future is ready.

* Use `NowOrLater` to fix possible delay bug

Previous usage of `now_or_never` meant that the underlying task wasn't
being scheduled to awake when the `Downloads` stream produced a new
item. Using `NowOrLater` instead fixes that issue.

* Use BoxError to simplify service types in tests

* Make all returned service types consistent in tests

We want to be able to change the setup without changing the tests.

Create a `SyncStatus` helper type (#2685)
* Create a `SyncStatus` helper type

Keeps track if the synchronizer is close to the chain tip or not.

* Refactor `ChainSync` ctor. to return `SyncStatus`

Change the constructor API so that it returns a higher level construct.

* Test if `SyncStatus` waits for the chain tip

Test if waiting for the chain tip to be reached correctly finishes when
the chain tip is reached. This is done by sending recent sync lengths to
the `SyncStatus` instance, and checking that every time a separate
`SyncStatus` instance determines it has reached the tip the original
instance wakes up.

* Add a temporary attribute to allow dead code

The code added isn't used yet, so we'll add a temporary waiver until
another PR is merged to use them.

Provide recent syncer response lengths as a watch channel (#2602)
* Minimal recent sync lengths implementation

Also includes metrics and logging, to make diagnosing bugs easier.

* Add logging to check what happens when Zebra reaches the chain tip

* Add tests for recent sync lengths

- initially empty
- pruned to correct length
- newest entries go first

* Drop a redundant `/` from a Cargo.lock URL

This seems to be a nightly or beta Rust change,
but hopefully stable just accepts it.

* Use metrics histograms to avoid overwriting values

* Add detailed syncer monitoring dashboard

* Increase the recent sync length to 4

This length makes it easier to distinguish between temporary and
sustained errors/syncs.

Henry de Valence ba3c19142c deps: update hyper, metrics to tokio 0.3
The metrics code becomes much simpler because the current version of the
metrics crate builds its own single-threaded runtime on a dedicated worker
thread, so no dependency on the main Zebra Tokio runtime is required.

Henry de Valence add94c1c45 deps: move to tokio 0.3, tower 0.4
This change is mostly mechanical, with the exception of the changes to the
`tower-batch` middleware.  This middleware was adapted from `tower::buffer`,
and the `tower::buffer` code was changed to implement its own bounded queue,
because Tokio 0.3 removed the `mpsc::Sender::poll_send` method.  See

ddc64e8d4d

for more context on the Tower changes.  To match Tower as closely as possible
in order to be able to upstream `tower-batch`, those changes are copied from
`tower::Buffer` to `tower-batch`.

Henry de Valence e0c92167bc Revert "Hedge every syncer block download request"
This reverts commit 656bd24ba7.

The Hedge middleware keeps a pair of histograms, writing into one in the
current time interval and reading from the previous time interval's
data.  This means that the reverted change resulted in doubling all
block downloads until after at least the second measurement interval
(which means that the time measurements are also incorrect, as they're
operating under double the network load...)

Henry de Valence 0ad648fb6a zebrad: make lookahead limit configurable.
Sets the default value to the previous lookahead limit.  My testing on
mainnet suggested that the newly lower value (changed when the
checkpoint frequency was decreased) is low enough to cause stalls, even
when using hedged requests.

teor 656bd24ba7 Hedge every syncer block download request
Remove the minimum data points from the syncer hedge configuragtion.
When there are no data points, hedge sends the second request
immediately.

Where there are less than 1/(1-latency_percentile) data points (20),
hedge delays the second request by the highest recent download time.

This change should improve genesis and post-restart sync latency.

Henry de Valence 4c960c4e6d zebrad: treat duplicate downloads as an error
We should error if we notice that we're attempting to download the same
blocks multiple times, because that indicates that peers reported bad
information to us, or we got confused trying to interpret their
responses.

Henry de Valence 0a405c737d zebrad: check state in obtaintips, not extendtips.
The original sync algorithm split the sync process into two phases, one
that obtained prospective chain tips, and another that attempted to
extend those chain tips as far as possible until encountering an error
(at which point the prospective state is discarded and the process
restarts).

Because a previous implementation of this algorithm didn't properly
enforce linkage between segments of the chain while extending tips,
sometimes it would get confused and fail to discard responses that did
not extend a tip.  To mitigate this, a check against the state was
added.  However, this check can cause stalls while checkpointing,
because when a checkpoint is reached we may suddenly need to commit
thousands of blocks to the state.  Because the sync algorithm now has a
a `CheckedTip` structure that ensures that a new segment of hashes
actually extends an existing one, we don't need to check against the
state while extending a tip, because we don't get confused while
interpreting responses.

This change results in significantly smoother progress on mainnet.

Henry de Valence 12d25159c6 zebrad: use hedged requests in sync
The hedge middleware implements hedged requests, as described in _The
Tail At Scale_. The idea is that we auto-tune our retry logic according
to the actual network conditions, pre-emptively retrying requests that
exceed some latency percentile. This would hopefully solve the problem
where our timeouts are too long on mainnet and too slow on testnet.

Henry de Valence 5f229d1475 zebrad: use Downloads in sync
Try to use the better cancellation logic to revert to previous sync
algorithm.  As designed, the sync algorithm is supposed to proceed by
downloading state prospectively and handle errors by flushing the
pipeline and starting over.  This hasn't worked well, because we didn't
previously cancel tasks properly.  Now that we can, try to use something
in the spirit of the original sync algorithm.

2.  It encapsulates the download creation and cancellation logic into a
    Downloads struct.
