This commit fixes a prior bug in the graph database due to an invalid
assumption that both channel edges would _always_ be advertised. This
assumption is invalid, as it’s up to a node’s policy if the advertise
their direction of the channel.
The fix for this assumption is straight forward: ErrEdgeNotFound is no
longer a critical error, instead a nil pointer will now be passed into
the passed callback function.
This commit makes a large number of minor changes concerning API usage
within the deamon to match the latest version on the upstream btcsuite
libraries.
The major changes are the switch from wire.ShaHash to chainhash.Hash,
and that wire.NewMsgTx() now takes a paramter indicating the version of
the transaction to be created.
This commit modifies the error propagating behavior within the
HasChannelEdge struct. Rather than exiting the function early when a
single edge isn’t found, we instead continue to also possibly retrieve
the second directional edge.
With this change, we avoid a potential infinite gossiping loop in the
routing package that would result if we’d seen one edge but not the
other. In this case the timestamps returned for *both* edges would
always be zero, causing the daemon to always accept and rebroadcast the
announcement putting all other connected lnd’s into the same loop.
This commit modifies the new payment module within the database to
match the coding style of the rest of the package and the project as a
hole. Additionally, a few fields have been renamed, and the extra
timestamp added to the OutgoingPayment struct has been removed as
there’s already a CreationTime field within the Invoice struct that’s
embedded within the OutgoingPayment struct.
This commit modifies the FetchChannelEdgesByID slightly to use a
read-only transaction rather than a write-only transaction. As a result
we’ll no longer extraneously consume a writer’s slot when we’re only
reading data from the database.
This commit modifies the HasChannelEdge function to _always_ return
true if we know of the channel edge, meaning that it was previously
added on announce.
This change fixes a minor bug present in the code which would result in
extraneous re-transmissions of updates received by the new routing
package.
This commit adds a utility method whcih utilizes the edge index bucket
and allows caller to look up the channel ID of a channel by its funding
outpoint. This can be used to populate RPC’s with additional
information and also to provide users with an additional query
interface to build channel explorers, etc.
Previously, the edge index bucket which maps a channelPoint ->
channelID wasn’t properly created one start up during the initial
creation of the database. This caused some extraneous failure as
queries would unnecessarily fail with bucket non-existence errors.
To fix this we now properly create the bucket on start up if the
database doesn’t exist, and also properly delete the bucket within the
Wipe() function.
This commit fixes a minor bug in the ForEachChannel method of the
ChannelGraph struct. Rather than ErrGraphNoEdgesFound being returned if
either of the edge related buckets hadn’t been created yet,
ErrGraphNodesNotFound was being returned.
To fix this bug, we now properly return ErrGraphNoEdgesFound.
Additionally a mental note to roasbeef has been left as the current
code currently assumes that eventually both directions of the channel
edge will be advertised. However, this may not necessarily be the case
in a live network, since a side chooses to preferentially advertise a
channel or not.
This commit adds to new functions to the ChannelGraph struct which
allow the callers to query for the existence or non-existence of a
vertex (node) or edge (channel) within the graph. In addition to
returning whether the edge exists, the functions will also return the
last time the state has been modified for the edge or vertex. This will
allow callers to ensure that only the most up to date state is
committed to disk.
This commit adds support for channel graph pruning, which is the method
used to keep the channel graph in sync with the current UTXO state. As
the channel graph is essentially simply a subset of the UTXO set, by
evaluating the channel graph with the set of outfits spent within a
block, then we’re able to prune channels that’ve been closed by
spending their funding outpoint. A new method `PruneGraph` has been
provided which implements the described functionality.
Upon start up any upper routing layers should sync forward in the chain
pruning the channel graph with each newly found block. In order to
facilitate such channel graph reconciliation a new method `PruneTip`
has been added which allows callers to query current pruning state of
the channel graph.
This commit adds an additional check within CloseChannel to ensure that
sub-systems attempting to delete the channel one after the other (in
the event of any sort of closure) doesn’t result in an extraneous
error.
To fix this, we now check if the channel exists before attempting a
deletion. If the channel doesn’t exist, then we simply exit early with
a nil error.
This commit modifies the LightningNode.ForEachChannel method to give
the caller the option of re-using an existing database transaction
instead of always creating a new db transaction with each invocation.
Internally boltdb will run into an error/dead-lock if a nested
transaction is attempted.
Such an action might be attempted if one were to use the traversal
functions in a path finding algorithm. Therefore in order to avoid
that after, we now allow the re-use of transactions to facilitate
nested calls to ForEachChannel.
Go-fmt files. Refactored code according to the guidelines.
Enhanced payment test: add error checking
and individual context for each API call.
Add Timestamp field to payment struct.
This commit introduces a new capability to the database: storage of an
on-disk directed channel graph. The on-disk representation of the graph
within boltdb is essentially a modified adjacency list which separates
the storage of the edge’s existence and the storage of the edge
information itself.
The new objects provided within he ChannelGraph carry an API which
facilitates easy graph traversal via their ForEach* methods. As a
result, path finding algorithms will be able to be expressed in a
natural way using the range methods as a for-range language extension
within Go.
Additionally caching will likely be added either at this layer or the
layer above (the RoutingManager) in order keep queries and outgoing
payments speedy. In a future commit a new set of RPC’s to query the
state of a particular edge or node will also be added.
This commit adds a new method to the `OpenChannel` struct:
CommitmentHeight(). This method allows multiple callers holding the
same instance of an OpenChannel struct tied to the same on-disk channel
to consistently query the current commitment height for a channel. Such
a modification will prove useful later as sections of the code-base are
separated in order to allow more vigilant watching of channel breaches.
This commit performs a slight refactoring of the internals (and API) of
the [Fetch|Put]Meta methods. The changes are rather minor and simply
eliminate the conditional branching structure with usage of an internal
function. This new form is much easier to follow.
This commit modifies the composition of the boltdb pointer within the
DB struct to use embedding.
The rationale for this change is that the daemon may soon store some
semi-transient items within the database which requires us to expose
the boltdb’s transaction API. The logic for serialization of this data
will likely lie outside of the channeldb package as the items that may
be stored in the future will be specific to the current sub-systems
within the daemon and not generic channel related data.
This commit unexports the SyncVerions PR, in favor of making it private
and moving it into the .Open() method. With this change, callers no
longer need worry about ensuring the database version is up to sync
before usage, as it will happen automatically once the database is
opened.
This commit also unexports some additional variables within the package
that don’t need be consumed by the public, and exports the
DbVersionNumber attribute on the meta struct. Finally some minor
formatting fixes have neen carried out to ensure the new code more
closely matches the style of the rest of the codebase.
In this commit the upgrade mechanism for database was added which makes he current schema rigid and upgradeable. Additional bucket 'metaBucket' was added which stores
key that house meta-data related to the current/version state of the database. 'createChannelDB' was modified to create this new bucket+key during initializing. Also
backup logic was added which makes a complete copy of the current database during migration process and restore the previous version of database if migration failed.
This commit adds persistence for a channel’s
TotalSatoshis[Sent|Received] fields. Also, the functions that perform
this persistence were renamed from [put|delete|fetch]ChanTotalFlow to
[put|delete|fetch]ChanAmountsTransferred.
This commit modifies the ChannelType enum to no longer use iota as
changes in the definition would cause the values to shift, breaking the
long-term stability required for persistence. Instead, we now select
values manually to indicate the particular channel type.
This commit modifies the existing OpenChannel struct slightly to store
a bool which indicates if we were the one who initially initiated the
channel or not. This information is relevant as in the current draft of
the specification, much of the fee related negotiation is contingent on
who initiated the channel.
This commit removes all prior fee tracking attributes along with the
persistence code from OpenChannel. The rationale is that fees actually
don’t exist at the channel level, and instead should be tracked at
higher level of abstraction as fees come from the inbound/outbound
satoshi spread.
This commit modifies the OpenChannel struct along with all related
persistent to additional store a single byte which indicates the exact
type of the channel. This may be useful in the future as higher level
behavior may change depending on the precise type of the channel.
This commit introduces a new method to channeldb: ‘FetchAllChannels’.
This method can be used to obtain the state of all active (currently
open) channels within the database. This method can be used for compute
basic channel-based metrics or exposed as an RPC in order to allow
clients to display/query channel data.
This commit adds a new method ‘FullSyncWithAddr’ which is identical to
the existing ‘FullSync’ method other than it also creates an
association from the channel to a LinkNode object within the database.
This new method is required in order to create persistent links between
channels and link nodes which will later allow the development of
heuristics which decided when it “makes sense” to close a channel due
to inactivity. Additionally, this new association will allow for a
sub-system within the daemon to attempt to establish persistent
connections out to all LinkNodes in order to strive for channel
availability.
This commit slightly modifies the existing structure of the channeldb
scheme to replace the former concept of a “nodeID” with simply the
compressed public key of the remote node. This change paves the way for
adding useful indexes mapping a node to all it’s active channels and
the other way around.
Additionally, the current channeldb code was written before it was
agreed by many of those implementing Lightning that a node’s ID will
simply be its compressed public key.
This commit adds a new bucket to the database which is dedicated to
storing data pertaining to p2p related reachability for direct channel
counter parties. The data stored in this new bucket can be used within
heuristics when deciding to unilaterally close a channel due to
inactivity. Additionally, all known reachable IP addresses for a
particular LinkNode are to be stored and updated within the database in
order to facilitate the establishment of persistent connections to
direct channel counter parties.
