core/state/snapshot: less disk reads #6

@holiman holiman commented Mar 30, 2021

This PR attempts to minimize the number of disk reads. When we have a slice of snapshot values, which do not match the trie data, we currently iterates the disk to retrieve the canonical data.
What this PR does, is commit the (incorrect) snapshot data to a trie, which will be 99% correct. When iterating the trie, we then use the snapshot-trie-database for resolving hashes.
When doing so, we can read 99% of the leaves the from the memory db instead of resolving from disk.

This is still work in progress, needs to be tidied up. It can also be implemented differently. The upside of this particular way to implement it is that most of the modifications are performed in the node iterator, and does not touch the trie database.

Code wise I think it's OK, just some nitpicks

I think we can pass the auxiliary database here. iter = trie.NewIterator(tr.NodeIteratorWithDatabase(origin))

We can pass the db directly when we construct the iterator

Yeah, well, one thing that would be kind of neat, or at least interesting to check, is to

  • not do a second round of trie:ing after the proof has failed, but rather use the db from the proof-phase. Right now I wasn't sue what trie to use where, so I just created a new one for the proof-of-concept,
  • and if that works, replace the stacktrie with a regular empty trie, so we can use it if the proof is unsuccessful.

Yes sure, I can do it. We need to modify the range prover a bit, let me see how to fix it.
