Add support for deterministic database shards (XRPLF#2688):
Add support to allow multiple indepedent nodes to produce a binary identical shard for a given range of ledgers. The advantage is that servers can use content-addressable storage, and can more efficiently retrieve shards by downloading from multiple peers at once and then verifying the integrity of a shard by cross-checking its checksum with the checksum other servers report.

# Deterministic Database Shards | ||
|
||
This doc describes the standard way to assemble the database shard. | ||
A shard assembled using this approach becomes deterministic i.e. | ||
if two independent sides assemble a shard consisting of the same ledgers, | ||
accounts and transactions, then they will obtain the same shard files | ||
`nudb.dat` and `nudb.key`. The approach deals with the `NuDB` database | ||
format only, refer to `https://github.com/vinniefalco/NuDB`. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Headers | ||
|
||
Due to NuDB database definition, the following headers are used for | ||
database files: | ||
|
||
nudb.key: | ||
``` | ||
char[8] Type The characters "nudb.key" | ||
uint16 Version Holds the version number | ||
uint64 UID Unique ID generated on creation | ||
uint64 Appnum Application defined constant | ||
uint16 KeySize Key size in bytes | ||
uint64 Salt A random seed | ||
uint64 Pepper The salt hashed | ||
uint16 BlockSize Size of a file block in bytes | ||
uint16 LoadFactor Target fraction in 65536ths | ||
uint8[56] Reserved Zeroes | ||
uint8[] Reserved Zero-pad to block size | ||
``` | ||
|
||
nudb.dat: | ||
``` | ||
char[8] Type The characters "nudb.dat" | ||
uint16 Version Holds the version number | ||
uint64 UID Unique ID generated on creation | ||
uint64 Appnum Application defined constant | ||
uint16 KeySize Key size in bytes | ||
uint8[64] (reserved) Zeroes | ||
``` | ||
All of these fields are saved using network byte order | ||
(bigendian: most significant byte first). | ||
|
||
To make the shard deterministic the following parameters are used | ||
as values of header field both for `nudb.key` and `nudb.dat` files. | ||
``` | ||
Version 2 | ||
UID digest(0) | ||
Appnum digest(2) | 0x5348524400000000 /* 'SHRD' */ | ||
KeySize 32 | ||
Salt digest(1) | ||
Pepper XXH64(Salt) | ||
BlockSize 0x1000 (4096 bytes) | ||
LoadFactor 0.5 (numeric 0x8000) | ||
``` | ||
Note: XXH64() is well-known hash algorithm. | ||
|
||
The `digest(i)` mentioned above defined as the follows: | ||
|
||
First, RIPEMD160 hash `H` calculated of the following structure | ||
(the same as final Key of the shard): | ||
``` | ||
uint32 version Version of shard, 2 at the present | ||
uint32 firstSeq Sequence number of first ledger in the shard | ||
uint32 lastSeq Sequence number of last ledger in the shard | ||
uint256 lastHash Hash of last ledger in shard | ||
``` | ||
there all 32-bit integers are hashed in network byte order | ||
(bigendian: most significant byte first). | ||
|
||
Then, `digest(i)` is defined as the following part of the above hash `H`: | ||
``` | ||
digest(0) = H[0] << 56 | H[1] << 48 | ... | H[7] << 0, | ||
digest(1) = H[8] << 56 | H[9] << 48 | ... | H[15] << 0, | ||
digest(2) = H[16] << 24 | H[17] << 16 | ... | H[19] << 0, | ||
``` | ||
where `H[i]` denotes `i`-th byte of hash `H`. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Contents | ||
|
||
After deterministic shard is created using the above mentioned headers, | ||
it filled with objects using the following steps. | ||
|
||
1. All objects within the shard are visited in the order described in the | ||
next section. Here the objects are: ledger headers, SHAmap tree nodes | ||
including state and transaction nodes, final key. | ||
|
||
2. Set of all visited objects is divided into groups. Each group except of | ||
the last contains 16384 objects in the order of their visiting. Last group | ||
may contain less than 16384 objects. | ||
|
||
3. All objects within each group are sorted in according to their hashes. | ||
Objects are sorted by increasing of their hashes, precisely, by increasing | ||
of hex representations of hashes in lexicographic order. For example, | ||
the following is an example of sorted hashes in their hex representation: | ||
``` | ||
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 | ||

... | ||
``` | ||
|
||
4. Finally, objects added to the deterministic shard group by group in the | ||
sorted order within each group from low to high hashes. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Order of visiting objects | ||
|
||
The shard consists of 16384 ledgers and the final key with the hash 0. | ||
Each ledger has the header object and two SMAmaps: state and transaction. | ||
SHAmap is a rooted tree in which each node has maximum of 16 descendants | ||
enumerating by indexes 0..15. Visiting each node in the SHAmap | ||
is performing by functions visitNodes and visitDifferences implemented | ||
in the file `ripple/shamap/impl/ShaMapSync.cpp`. | ||
|
||
Here is how the function visitNodes works: it visit the root at first. | ||
Then it visit all nodes in the 1st layer, i. e. the nodes which are | ||
immediately descendants of the root sequentially from index 0 to 15. | ||
Then it visit all nodes in 2nd layer i.e. the nodes which are immediately | ||
descendants the nodes from 1st layer. The order of visiting 2nd layer nodes | ||
is the following. First, descendants of the 1st layer node with index 0 | ||
are visited sequintially from index 0 to 15. Then descendents of 1st layer | ||
node with index 1 are visited etc. After visiting all nodes of 2nd layer | ||
the nodes from 3rd layer are visited etc. | ||
|
||
The function visitDifferences works similar to visitNodes with the following | ||
exceptions. The first exception is that visitDifferences get 2 arguments: | ||
current SHAmap and previous SHAmap and visit only the nodes from current | ||
SHAmap which and not present in previous SHAmap. The second exception is | ||
that visitDifferences visits all non-leaf nodes in the order of visitNodes | ||
function, but all leaf nodes are visited immedeately after visiting of their | ||
parent node sequentially from index 0 to 15. | ||
|
||
Finally, all objects within the shard are visited in the following order. | ||
All ledgers are visited from the ledger with high index to the ledger with | ||
low index in descending order. For each ledger the state SHAmap is visited | ||
first using visitNode function for the ledger with highest index and | ||
visitDifferences function for other ledgers. Then transaction SHAmap is visited | ||
using visitNodes function. At last, the ledger header object is visited. | ||
Final key of the shard is visited at the end. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Tests | ||
|
||
To perform test to deterministic shards implementation one can enter | ||
the following command: | ||
``` | ||
rippled --unittest ripple.NodeStore.DatabaseShard | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The following is the right output of deterministic shards test: | ||
``` | ||
ripple.NodeStore.DatabaseShard DatabaseShard deterministic_shard | ||
with backend nudb | ||
Iteration 0: RIPEMD160[nudb.key] = F96BF2722AB2EE009FFAE4A36AAFC4F220E21951 | ||
Iteration 0: RIPEMD160[nudb.dat] = FAE6AE84C15968B0419FDFC014931EA12A396C71 | ||
Iteration 1: RIPEMD160[nudb.key] = F96BF2722AB2EE009FFAE4A36AAFC4F220E21951 | ||
Iteration 1: RIPEMD160[nudb.dat] = FAE6AE84C15968B0419FDFC014931EA12A396C71 | ||
