Summary of Changes
Create a plugin mechanism in the accounts update path so that accounts data can be streamed out to external data stores (be it Kafka or Postgres). The plugin mechanism allows
Data stores of connection strings/credentials to be configured,
Accounts with patterns to be streamed
PostgreSQL implementation of the streaming for different destination stores to be plugged in.
The code comprises 4 major parts:
accountsdb-plugin-intf: defines the plugin interface which concrete plugin should implement.
accountsdb-plugin-manager: manages the load/unload of plugins and provide interfaces which the validator can notify of accounts update to plugins.
accountsdb-plugin-postgres: the concrete plugin implementation for PostgreSQL
The validator integrations: updated streamed right after snapshot restore and after account update from transaction processing or other real updates.
The plugin is optionally loaded on demand by new validator CLI argument -- there is no impact if the plugin is not loaded.
The program_id is not needed on "Program return data: " because it
always preceeded by the program invoke message, so no need to repeat
the program id. Also rename this to "Program return: " since "data"
is redundant.
Solang requires a method for verify ed25519 signatures. Add a new
builtin program at address Ed25519SigVerify111111111111111111111111111
which takes any number of ed25519 signature, public key, and message.
If any of the signatures fails to verify, an error is returned.
The changes for the web3.js package will go into another commit, since
the tests test against a released solana node. Adding web3.js ed25519
testing will break CI.
The parameter is now a required third argument. This is because authorized
withdrawer should never be the same as vote account keypair or validator
identity keypair for security reasons.
Added a --allow-unsafe-authorized-withdrawer to override this restriction if
necessary.
#### Problem
There's no way to get incremental snapshot information from RPC.
#### Summary of Changes
- Add new RPC method, `getHighestSnapshotSlot` that returns a `SnapshotSlotInfo`, which contains both the highest full snapshot slot, and the highest incremental snapshot slot _based on_ the full snapshot.
- Deprecate old RPC method, `getSnapshotSlot`
- Update API docs
Fixes#19579
This is the 2nd installment for the AccountsDb replication.
Summary of Changes
The basic google protocol buffer protocol for replicating updated slots and accounts. tonic/tokio is used for transporting the messages.
The basic framework of the client and server for replicating slots and accounts -- the persisting of accounts in the replica-side will be done at the next PR -- right now -- the accounts are streamed to the replica-node and dumped. Replication for information about Bank is also not done in this PR -- to be addressed in the next PR to limit the change size.
Functionality used by both the client and server side are encapsulated in the replica-lib crate.
There is no impact to the existing validator by default.
Tests:
Observe the confirmed slots replicated to the replica-node.
Observe the accounts for the confirmed slot are received at the replica-node side.
* Add note about ASK keyword to paper wallet doc
Per https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/issues/17325#issuecomment-844434585, this change adds a note to the paper wallet docs mentioning the use of the `ASK` keyword.
Also specifes that the `solana-keygen pubkey prompt://` command returns a derived bip44 base address.
(I'm new to Solana development and this was a point of confusion for me, only resolved by finding this issue)
* Update docs/src/wallet-guide/paper-wallet.md
