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);
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.
The indices for erasure coding shreds are tied to data shreds:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/90f41fd9b/ledger/src/shred.rs#L921
However with the upcoming changes to erasure schema, there will be more
erasure coding shreds than data shreds and we can no longer infer coding
shreds indices from data shreds.
The commit adds constructs to track coding shreds indices explicitly.
next-shred-index is already readily available from returned data shreds.
The commit simplifies the api for upcoming changes to erasure coding
schema which will require explicit tracking of indices for coding shreds
as well as data shreds.
Number of parity coding shreds is always less than the number of data
shreds in FEC blocks:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/6907a2366/ledger/src/shred.rs#L719
Data shreds are batched in chunks of 32 shreds each:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/6907a2366/ledger/src/shred.rs#L714
However the very last batch of data shreds in a slot can be small, in
which case the loss rate can be exacerbated.
This commit expands the number of coding shreds in the last FEC block in
slots to: 64 - number of data shreds; so that FEC blocks are always 64
data and parity coding shreds each.
As a consequence of this, the last FEC block has more parity coding
shreds than data shreds. So for some shred indices we will have a coding
shred but no data shreds. This should not cause any kind of overlapping
FEC blocks as in:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/pull/10095
since this is done only for the very last batch in a slot, and the next
slot will reset the shred index.
