In this commit, we introduce a nice optimization with regards to lnd's
interaction with a bitcoind backend. Within lnd, we currently have three
different subsystems responsible for watching the chain: chainntnfs,
lnwallet, and routing/chainview. Each of these subsystems has an active
RPC and ZMQ connection to the underlying bitcoind node. This would incur
a toll on the underlying bitcoind node and would cause us to miss ZMQ
events, which are crucial to lnd. We remedy this issue by sharing the
same connection to a bitcoind node between the different clients within
lnd.
In this commit, we modify the test to explitlcy give the neutrino
backend more time to catch up compared to the RPC backends. We do this
as a recent change has been made in the neutrino backend to wait for the
filter headers to finish syncing before proceeding with the rescan
itself. As a result, we'll need to account for this in the test and
sleep enough to give the backend a chance to catch up.
In this commit, we update the existing UpdateFilter method to take the
new channeldb.EdgePoint struct in place of the prior wire.OutPoint. We
must do this as the caller now typically has this type due to the
preparation to enable lnd to be able to be compatible with the new
neutrino protocol.
This commit adds a test for the FilteredChainView interfaces,
making sure they notify about disconnected/connected blocks
in the correct order during a reorg.
This commit reduces the neutrino.WaitForMoreCFHeaders parameter when
instantiating a neutrino instance as a lower value will allow the tests
to complete more quickly.
This commit adds a new set of behavioral interface level tests to the
chain view package. This set of tests can now be used in order to check
proper conformity to this “specification” for all future
implementations of the chain view package.
