* use bincode for SSTable serialization; add tests
* Fix bug uncovered in merge algorithm by unit tests
* use bincode in write-ahead-log serialization
* Add helper `Fill` trait for zeroing buffers
Add an interface to query the storage slot a
replicator is holding on storage_addr port.
Fix logic to poll blocktree for all slots
replicated being filled.
Add test logic to ask replicator what slot it
is replicating and then download an entry in
the slot.
* move core tests to core
* remove window
* fix up flaky tests
* test_entryfication needs a singly-threaded banking_stage
* move core benches to core
* remove unnecessary dependencies
* remove core as a member for now, test it like runtime
* stop running tests twice
* remove duplicate runs of tests in perf
* Lift all shared mutable state into Kvstore
commit is now an AtomicUsize
In-memory table and write-log are now struct members behind individual RwLocks
* locktower components and tests
* integrate locktower into replay stage
* track locktower duration
* make sure threshold is checked after simulating the vote
* check vote lockouts using the VoteState program
* duplicate vote test
* epoch stakes
* disable impossible to verify tests
These tests were from back in the day when Bank(then-called Accountant)
would call `verify_plan()` on all transactions. Nowadays `verify_plan`
is only useful to the client. At can be used to ensure a transaction
won't trigger runtime errors.
A sequence of instructions. A client compiles the script and then uses
the compiled script to construction a transaction. Then it adds a
adds a blockhash, signs the transaction, and sends it off for
processing.
