The commit makes values in stake_delegations map in Stakes struct
generic. Stakes<Delegation> is equivalent to the old code and is used
for backward compatibility in BankFieldsTo{Serialize,Deserialize}.
But banks cache Stakes<StakeAccount> which includes the entire stake
account and StakeState deserialized from account. Doing so, will remove
the need to load stake account from accounts-db when working with
stake-delegations.
Summary of Changes
Create a plugin mechanism in the accounts update path so that accounts data can be streamed out to external data stores (be it Kafka or Postgres). The plugin mechanism allows
Data stores of connection strings/credentials to be configured,
Accounts with patterns to be streamed
PostgreSQL implementation of the streaming for different destination stores to be plugged in.
The code comprises 4 major parts:
accountsdb-plugin-intf: defines the plugin interface which concrete plugin should implement.
accountsdb-plugin-manager: manages the load/unload of plugins and provide interfaces which the validator can notify of accounts update to plugins.
accountsdb-plugin-postgres: the concrete plugin implementation for PostgreSQL
The validator integrations: updated streamed right after snapshot restore and after account update from transaction processing or other real updates.
The plugin is optionally loaded on demand by new validator CLI argument -- there is no impact if the plugin is not loaded.
AccountsBackgroundService now knows about incremental snapshots. It is
now also in charge of deciding if an AccountsPackage is destined to be a
SnapshotPackage or not (or just used by AccountsHashVerifier).
!!! New behavior changes !!!
Taking snapshots (both bank and archive) **MUST** succeed.
This is required because of how the last full snapshot slot is
calculated, which is used by AccountsBackgroundService when calling
`clean_accounts()`.
File system calls are now unwrapped and will result in a crash. As Trent told me:
>Well I think if a snapshot fails due to some IO error, it's very likely that the operator is going to have to intervene before it works. We should exit error in this case, otherwise the validator might happily spin for several more hours, never successfully writing a complete snapshot, before something else brings it down. This would leave the validator's last local snapshot many more slots behind than it would be had we exited outright and potentially force the operator to abandon ledger continuity in favor of a quick catchup
Other errors will set the `exit` flag to `true`, and the node will gracefully shutdown.
Fixes#19167Fixes#19168
#### Problem
Snapshot names are overloaded, and there are multiple terms that mean the same thing. This is confusing. Here's a list of ones in the codebase that I've found:
```
- snapshot_dir
- snapshots_dir
- snapshot_path
- snapshot_output_dir
- snapshot_package_output_path
- snapshot_archives_dir
```
#### Summary of Changes
For all the ones that are about the directory where snapshot archives are stored, ensure they are `snapshot_archives_dir`. For the ones about the (bank) snapshots directory, set to `bank_snapshots_dir`.
