This commit restricts the graph CRUD interface such that one can only
add a proof to a channel announcement and not update any other fields.
This pattern is better suited for SQL land too.
This commit fixes a bug that would check that the passed `edge` argument
of UpdateChannelEdge is nil but it should actually be checking if the
`edges` bucket is nil.
In this commit, we use the available kvdb `View` method directly for
starting a graph session instead of manually creating and commiting the
transaction. Note this changes behaviour since failed tx create/commit
will now error instead of just log.
In this commit, we add a `GraphSession` method to the `ChannelGraph`.
This method provides a caller with access to a `NodeTraverser`. This is
used by pathfinding to create a graph "session" overwhich to perform a
set of queries for a pathfinding attempt. With this refactor, we hide
details such as DB transaction creation and transaction commits from the
caller. So with this, pathfinding does not need to remember to "close
the graph session". With this commit, the `graphsession` package may be
completely removed.
The `graphsession.NewRoutingGraph` method was used to create a
RoutingGraph instance with no consistent read transaction across calls.
But now that the ChannelGraph directly implements this, we can remove
The NewRoutingGraph method.
Add the `Tx` suffix to both ForEachNodeDirectedChannelTx and
FetchNodeFeatures temporarily so that we free up the original names for
other use. The renamed methods will be removed or unexported in an
upcoming commit. The aim is to have no exported methods on the
ChannelGraph that accept a kvdb.RTx as a parameter.
For consistency in the graphsessoin.graph interface, we let the
FetchNodeFeatures method take a read transaction just like the
ForEachNodeDirectedChannel. This is nice because then all calls in the
same pathfinding transaction use the same read transaction.
In preparation for an upcoming commit which will move all channel
funding tx validation to the gossiper, we first move the helper method
which helps build the expected funding transaction script based on the
fields in the channel announcement. We will still want this script later
on in the builder for updating the ChainView though, and so we pass this
field along with the ChannelEdgeInfo. With this change, we can remove
the TapscriptRoot field from the ChannelEdgeInfo since the only reason
it was there was so that the builder could reconstruct the full funding
script.
With the previous commit, the AddNode method was removed and since that
was the only method making use of the ForEachChannel on the
GraphCacheNode interface, we can remove that method. Since the only two
methods left just expose the node's pub key and features, it really is
not required anymore and so the entire thing can be removed along with
the implementation of it.
The AddNode method on the GraphCache calls `AddNodeFeatures` underneath
and then iterates through all the node's persisted channels and adds
them to the cache too via `AddChannel`.
This is, however, not required since at the time the cache is populated
in `NewChannelGraph`, the cache is populated will all persisted nodes
and all persisted channels. Then, once any new channels come in, via
`AddChannelEdge`, they are added to the cache via AddChannel. If any new
nodes come in via `AddLightningNode`, then currently the cache's AddNode
method is called which the both adds the node and again iterates through
all persisted channels and re-adds them to the cache. This is definitely
redundent since the initial cache population and updates via
AddChannelEdge should keep the cache fresh in terms of channels.
So we remove this for 2 reasons: 1) to remove the redundent DB calls and
2) this requires a kvdb.RTx to be passed in to the GraphCache calls
which will make it hard to extract the cache out of the CRUD layer
and be used more generally.
The AddNode method made sense when the cache was first added in the
code-base
[here](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/commit/369c09be6152b76a24915050a8a5fe6bccf2b8f0#diff-ae36bdb6670644d20c4e43f3a0ed47f71886c2bcdf3cc2937de24315da5dc072R213)
since then during graph cache population, nodes and channels would be
added to the cache in a single DB transaction. This was, however,
changed [later
on](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/commit/352008a0c22ffd9e97b9481ffa44dbc50fca2ddc)
to be done in 2 separate DB calls for efficiency reasons.
In this commit, a new NodeRTx interface is added which represents
consistent access to a persisted models.LightningNode. The
ForEachChannel method of the interface gives the caller access to the
node's channels under the same read transaction (if any) that was used
to fetch the node in the first place. The FetchNode method returns
another NodeRTx which again will have the same underlying read
transaction.
The main point of this interface is to provide this consistent access
without needing to expose the `kvdb.RTx` type as a method parameter.
This will then make it much easier in future to add new implementations
of this interface that are backed by other databases (or RPC
connections) where the `kvdb.RTx` type does not apply.
We will make use of the new interface in the `autopilot` package in
upcoming commits in order to remove the `autopilot`'s dependence on the
pointer to the `*graphdb.ChannelGraph` which it has today.
Find and replace all nolint instances refering to the `lll` linter and
replace with `ll` which is the name of our custom version of the `lll`
linter which can be used to ignore log lines during linting.
The next commit will do the configuration of the custom linter and
disable the default one.
We also now use the graph DB's own optional functions. An instance of
the graph is currently still passed to the channeldb's
`CreateWithBackend` function. This will be removed in a later commit
once the two have been completely disjoint.
All the structs defined in the `channeldb/models` package are graph
related. So once we move all the graph CRUD code to the graph package,
it makes sense to have the schema structs there too. So this just moves
the `models` package over to `graph/db/models`.
We have the same helpers for writing and reading a wire.Outpoint type
defined separately in a couple places. We will want to use these from
the graph db package soon though so instead of defining them again
there, this commit unifies things and creates a single exported set of
helpers. The next commit will make use of these.
In preparation for moving the graph related schema structs to the graph
package in an upcoming commit, we move these methods to the graph
package. The structs we will move make use of these methods but we still
import them from channeldb so as to keep the ReadElement and
WriteElement helpers working as they do today.
