This commit is a direct copy of the complete channeldb package. It only
changes the package declaration at the top of every file. We make this
full copy so that review can be focused on the actual changes made.
Otherwise changes may drown in all the file moves.
Linting for the new package is disabled, as it contains lots of
pre-existing issues.
In the scenario where the requested channel does not have enough balance
and another channel towards the same node generates a different failure,
we erroneously returned UnknownNextPeer instead of the expected
TemporaryChannelFailure.
This commit rewrites the non-strict forwarding logic in the switch to
return the proper failure message. Part of this is moving the link
balance check inside the link.
This commit changes mission control to partially base the estimated
probability for untried connections on historical results obtained in
previous payment attempts. This incentivizes routing nodes to keep all
of their channels in good shape.
Probability estimates are amount dependent. Previously we assumed an
amount, but that starts to make less sense when we make probability more
dependent on amounts in the future.
This commit modifies the interpretation of node-level failures.
Previously only the failing node was marked. With this commit, also the
incoming and outgoing connections involved in the route are marked as
failed.
The change prepares for the removal of node-level failures in mission
control probability estimation.
This commit changes the in-memory structure of the mission control
state. It prepares for calculation of a node probability. For this we
need to be able to efficiently look up the last results for all channels
of a node.
Earlier GetCFilter could return a nil-error along with a nil-filter in
cases where we failed to fetch the filter. We would just ignore the
block causing us to miss potential crucial information.
Now that GetCFilter will return an error in cases where the fetch
failed, the filter will never be nil (even for blocks with only coinbase
transactions), and we'll instead return an error.
We also increase the number of retries for the filter from the default 2
to 5.
This sets the `jstype` option to `JS_STRING` for all `chan_id` fields
in the proto rpc definition. `chan_id` is a 64 bit integer, which is
not natively supported by javascript's floating-point `number` with
only 52 bit precision. Nevertheless, by default protobuf will use the
`number` type for 64 bit integer fields in javascript, which can cause
loss of precision problems with `chan_id`. Explicitly setting the type
for javascript as a string will prevent these issues, and should not
interfere with its use as an identifier.
Because the BestBlock method of ChainIO is not exposed through any
RPC we want to get rid of it so we can use the sweeper outside of
lnd too. Since the chain notifier now also delivers the current best
block we don't need the BestBlock method any more.
