lite2: cache headers in bisection (#4562)
Closes: #4546 The algorithm uses an array to store the headers and validators and populates it at every bisection (which is an unsuccessful verification). When a successful verification finally occurs it updates the new trusted header, trims that header from the cache (the array) and sets the depth pointer back to 0. Instead of retrieving new headers it will use the cached headers, incrementing in depth until it reaches the end of the cache which by then it will start to retrieve new headers from the provider. Mathematically, this method doesn't properly bisect after the first round but it will always choose a pivot header that is within 1/8th of the upper header's height. I.e. if we are trying to jump 128 headers, the maximum offset from bisection height (64) is 64 + 16(128/8) = 80, therefore a better heuristic would be to obtain the new pivot header height as the middle of these two numbers which would therefore mean to multiply it by 9/16ths instead of 1/2 (sorry this might be a bit more complicated in writing but I can try better explain if someone is interested). Therefore I would also, upon consensus, propose that we change the pivot height to 9/16th's of the previous height |

lite2: remove auto update (#4535)
We first introduced auto-update as a separate struct AutoClient, which
was wrapping Client and calling Update periodically.
// AutoClient can auto update itself by fetching headers every N seconds.
type AutoClient struct {
base *Client
updatePeriod time.Duration
quit chan struct{}
trustedHeaders chan *types.SignedHeader
errs chan error
}
// NewAutoClient creates a new client and starts a polling goroutine.
func NewAutoClient(base *Client, updatePeriod time.Duration) *AutoClient {
c := &AutoClient{
base: base,
updatePeriod: updatePeriod,
quit: make(chan struct{}),
trustedHeaders: make(chan *types.SignedHeader),
errs: make(chan error),
}
go c.autoUpdate()
return c
}
// TrustedHeaders returns a channel onto which new trusted headers are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) TrustedHeaders() <-chan *types.SignedHeader {
return c.trustedHeaders
}
// Err returns a channel onto which errors are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) Errs() <-chan error {
return c.errs
}
// Stop stops the client.
func (c *AutoClient) Stop() {
close(c.quit)
}
func (c *AutoClient) autoUpdate() {
ticker := time.NewTicker(c.updatePeriod)
defer ticker.Stop()
for {
select {
case <-ticker.C:
lastTrustedHeight, err := c.base.LastTrustedHeight()
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if lastTrustedHeight == -1 {
// no headers yet => wait
continue
}
newTrustedHeader, err := c.base.Update(time.Now())
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if newTrustedHeader != nil {
c.trustedHeaders <- newTrustedHeader
}
case <-c.quit:
return
}
}
}
Later we merged it into the Client itself with the assumption that most clients will want it.
But now I am not sure. Neither IBC nor cosmos/relayer are using it. It increases complexity (Start/Stop methods).
That said, I think it makes sense to remove it until we see a need for it (until we better understand usage behavior). We can always introduce it later 😅. Maybe in the form of AutoClient.

lite: follow up from #3989 (#4209)

By doing this, we avoid checking the trustedHeader's hash in checkTrustedHeaderUsingOptions (case #1). https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/4209#discussion_r360332460 * explain restoreTrustedHeaderAndNextVals better https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/4209#discussion_r360602328 * add ConfirmationFunction option for optionally prompting for user input Y/n before removing headers Refs https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/4209#discussion_r360602945 * make cleaning optional https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/4209#discussion_r364838189 * return error when user refused to remove headers * check for double votes in VerifyCommitTrusting * leave only ErrNewValSetCantBeTrusted error to differenciate between h2Vals.VerifyCommit and h1NextVals.VerifyCommitTrusting * fix example tests * remove unnecessary if condition https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/4209#discussion_r365171847 It will be handled by the above switch. * verifyCommitBasic does not depend on vals Co-authored-by: Marko <marbar3778@yahoo.com> |
