#### Problem
As #72 introduced AccountsFile::TieredStorage, it also performs
file-type check when opening an accounts-file to determine whether
it is a tiered-storage or an append-vec. But before tiered-storage is
enabled, this opening check is unnecessary.
#### Summary of Changes
Remove the accounts-file type check code and simply assume everything
is append-vec on AccountsFile::new_from_file().
#### Problem
AccountsFile currently doesn't have an implementation for TieredStorage.
To enable AccountsDB tests for the TieredStorage, we need AccountsFile
to support TieredStorage.
#### Summary of Changes
This PR implements a AccountsFile::TieredStorage, a thin wrapper between
AccountsFile and TieredStorage.
#### Problem
The TieredStorage has not yet implemented the AccountsFile::capacity()
API.
#### Summary of Changes
Implement capacity() API for TieredStorage and limit file size to 16GB,
same as the append-vec file.
#### Problem
TieredStorage::file_size() essentially supports AccountsFile::len(),
but its API is inconsistent with AccountsFile's.
#### Summary of Changes
Refactor TieredStorage::file_size() to ::len() and share the same API
as AccountsFile's.
#### Test Plan
Build
Existing unit-tests.
#### Problem
The current implementation of TieredStorage::file_size() requires
a sys-call to provide the file size.
#### Summary of Changes
Add len() API to TieredStorageReader, and have HotStorageReader()
implement the API using Mmap::len().
#### Test Plan
Update existing unit-test to also verify HotStorageReader::len().
#### Problem
The current AppendVecId actually refers to an accounts file id.
#### Summary of Changes
Rename AppendVecId to AccountsFileId.
#### Test Plan
Build
#### Problem
The TieredStorageFooter has the min_account_address and
max_account_address fields to describe the account address
range in its file. But the current implementation hasn't updated
the fields yet.
#### Summary of Changes
This PR enables the TieredStorage to persist address range
information into its footer via min_account_address and
max_account_address.
#### Test Plan
Updated tiered-storage test to verify persisted account address range.
#### Problem
The TieredStorage::new_readonly() function currently has the following
problems:
* It opens the file without checking the magic number before checking and loading the footer.
* It opens the file twice: first to load the footer, then open again by the reader.
#### Summary of Changes
This PR refactors TieredStorage::new_readonly() so that it first performs all
checks inside the constructor of TieredReadableFile. The TieredReadableFile
instance is then passed to the proper reader (currently HotStorageReader)
when all checks are passed.
#### Test Plan
* Added a new test to check MagicNumberMismatch.
* Existing tiered-storage tests
* accounts-db: unpack_archive: avoid extra iteration on each path
We used to do a iterator.clone().any(...) followed by
iterator.collect(). Merge the two and avoid an extra iteration and
re-parsing of the path.
* accounts-db: unpack_archive: unpack accounts straight into their final destination
We used to unpack accounts into account_path/accounts/<account> then
rename to account_path/<account>. We now unpack them into their final
destination directly and avoid the rename syscall.
#### Problem
TieredWritableFile currently uses File instead of BufWriter.
This will introduce more syscall when doing file writes.
#### Summary of Changes
This PR makes TieredWritableFile uses BufWriter to allow the
write-call to be more optimized to reduce the number of syscalls.
#### Test Plan
Existing tiered-storage test.
Will run experiments to verify its performance improvement.
#### Dependency
https://github.com/anza-xyz/agave/pull/260
#### Problem
TieredStorageFile struct currently offers new_readonly() and new_writable()
to allow both read and write work-load to share the same struct. However,
as we need the writer to use BufWriter to improve performance as well as
enable Hasher on writes. There is a need to refactor TieredStorageFile to
split its usage for read-only and writable.
#### Summary of Changes
Refactor TieredStorageFile to TieredReadonlyFIle and TieredWritableFile.
#### Test Plan
Existing tiered-storage tests.
#### Problem
tiered_storage/writer.rs was added when we planned to support multiple
tiers in the tiered-storage (i.e., at least hot and cold). However, as we
changed our plan to handle cold accounts as state-compressed accounts,
we don't need a general purposed tiered-storage writer at this moment.
#### Summary of Changes
Remove tiered_storage/writer.rs as we currently don't have plans to develop cold storage.
#### Test Plan
Existing tiered-storage tests.
#### Problem
As we further optimize the HotStorageMeta in #146, there is a need
for a HotAccount struct that contains all the hot account information.
Meanwhile, we currently don't have plans to develop a cold account
format at this moment. As a result, this makes it desirable to repurpose
TieredReadableAccount to HotAccount.
#### Summary of Changes
Repurpose TieredReadableAccount to HotAccount.
#### Test Plan
Existing tiered-storage tests.
#### Problem
TieredStorage stores account hash as an optional field inside its HotStorage.
However, the field isn't used and we have already decided to deprecate
the account hash.
#### Summary of Changes
Remove account-hash from the tiered-storage.
#### Test Plan
Existing tiered-storage tests.
Running validators w/ tiered-storage in mainnet-beta w/o storing account-hash.
#### Problem
In TieredAccountMeta, RENT_EXEMPT_RENT_EPOCH will be used when
its optional field rent_epoch is None. However, for legacy reasons, 0
should be used for zero-lamport accounts.
#### Summary of Changes
Return 0 for TieredAccountMeta::rent_epoch() for zero-lamport accounts.
#### Test Plan
accounts_db::tests::test_clean_zero_lamport_and_dead_slot
