This commit moves the logic handling responses to
locally-initiated payments to be asynchronous. The
reordering of operations into handleLocalDispatch
brings a serious performance burden to the switch's
main event loop. However, the at-most once semantics
of circuit map and idempotency of cleanup methods
allows concurrent operations to run in parallel.
Prior to this commit, the async_payments_benchmark
would timeout due to the forcibly serial nature of
the prior design. With this change, there is no
perceptible difference in the benchmark OMM, even
though we've added two extra db calls.
Composes the new payment status helper methods such that
we only require one db txn per state transition. This
also allows us to remove the exclusive lock from the
control tower, and enable more concurrent requests.
This commit splits FetchPaymentStatus and
UpdatePaymentStatus, such that they each invoke
helper methods that can be composed into different
db txns. This enables us to improve performance on
send/receive, as we can remove the exclusive lock
from the control tower, and allow concurrent calls
to utilize Batch more effectively.
In this commit, we introduce support for querying the database for invoices
that occurred within a specific add index range. The query format includes an
index to start with and a limit on the number of returned results.

rescanning
In this commit, we modify the rescan options Neutrino uses when
performing a rescan for historical chain events to disable disconnected
block notifications. This is needed as the Neutrino backend will mutate
its internal state while rewinding, which causes disconnected block
notifications to be sent. Since the notifier acts upon these
notifications, they would cause it to also rewind unnecessarily.
In this commit, we remove the sleep timeouts used within the channel
force closure integration test. This is needed because the recent changes
within the ChainNotifier require a longer timeout due to making a
database transaction on every new block to update the confirm/spend
hints of transactions. Rather than increasing the timeouts, we simply
remove them to ensure this isn't an issue down the road.
In this commit, we extend the different ChainNotifier implementations to
cache height hints for our spend events. Each outpoint we've requested a
spend notification for will have its initial height hint cached. We then
increment this height hint at every new block for unspent outpoints.
This allows us to retrieve the *exact* height at which the outpoint has
been spent. By doing this, we optimize the different ChainNotifier
implementations since they will no longer have to rescan forward (and
possibly fetch blocks in the neutrino/pruned node case) from the initial
height hint.
In this commit, we alter the different chain notifiers to query their
height hint cache before registering a confimation notification. We do
this as it's possible that the cache has a higher height hint, which
can potentially reduce the amount of blocked fetched when attempting
historical dispatches.
In this commit, we extend our TxConfNotifier to cache height hints for
our confirmation events. Each transaction we've requested a confirmation
notification for will have its initial height hint cached. We increment
this height hint at every new block for unconfirmed transactions. This
allows us to retrieve the *exact* height at which the transaction has
been included in a block. By doing this, we optimize the different
ChainNotifier implementations since they will no longer have to scan
forward (and possibly fetch blocks in the neutrino/pruned node case)
from the initial height hint looking for the confirmation.
