These methods allow us to query for checkpoints contained within the
linked list by height and height range. This is useful to determine
checkpoints to fetch for chain sources without having to refer back to
the `LocalChain`.
Currently this is not implemented efficiently, but in the future, we
will change `CheckPoint` to use a skip list structure.
Previously, `apply_block_relevant` used `batch_insert_relevant` which
allows inserting non-topologically-ordered transactions. However,
transactions from blocks are always ordered, so we can avoid looping
through block transactions twice (as done in `batch_insert_relevant`).
Additionally, `apply_block_relevant` now takes in a reference to a
`Block` instead of consuming the `Block`. This makes sense as typically
very few of the transactions in the block are inserted.
Previously, emissions are purely blocks + the block height. This means
emitted blocks can only connect to previous-adjacent blocks. Hence, sync
must start from genesis and include every block.
* `bdk_chain` dependency is added. In the future, we will introduce a
separate `bdk_core` crate to contain shared types.
* replace `Emitter::new` with `from_height` and `from_checkpoint`
* `from_height` emits from the given start height
* `from_checkpoint` uses the provided cp to find agreement point
* introduce logic that ensures emitted blocks can connect with
receiver's `LocalChain`
* in our rpc example, we can now `expect()` chain updates to always
since we are using checkpoints and receiving blocks in order
Instead of comparing the blockhash against the emitted_blocks map
to see whether the block is part of the emitter's best chain, we
reduce the `last_mempool_tip` height to the last agreement height
during the polling logic.
The benefits of this is we have tighter bounds for avoiding re-
emission. Also, it will be easier to replace `emitted_blocks` to
a `CheckPoint` (since we no longer rely on map lookup).
For `IndexedTxGraph`:
- Remove `InsertTxItem` type (this is too complex).
- `batch_insert_relevant` now uses a simple tuple `(&tx, anchors)`.
- `batch_insert` is now also removed, as the same functionality can be
done elsewhere.
- Add internal helper method `index_tx_graph_changeset` so we don't need
to create a seprate `TxGraph` update in each method.
- `batch_insert_<relevant>_unconfirmed` no longer takes in an option of
last_seen.
- `batch_insert_unconfirmed` no longer takes a reference of a
transaction (since we apply all transactions anyway, so there is no
need to clone).
For `TxGraph`:
- Add `batch_insert_unconfirmed` method.
