This commit resolves an issue where the block node index was forcing
entire blocks to be kept in memory thereby forcing excessive memory usage.
For example, prior to this change, the memory usage could consume upwards
of 1.5GB while importing bootstrap.dat via the addblock utility. With
this change the entire import takes <150MB. This also has the same memory
reduction to btcd since it uses the same code path.
Changed mempool.MaybeAcceptTransaction to accept an additional parameter
to differentiate betwee new transactions and those added from
disconnected blocks.
Added new fields to requestContexts to indicate which clients want to
receive all new transaction notifications.
Added NotifyForNewTx to rpcServer to deliver approriate transaction
notification.
Sending NotifyAllNewTXsCmd will register websocket client to receive
notifications on all new transactions.
Once registered the client will receive either AllTxNtfn or
AllVerboseTxNtfn based on the required verbose field in the
NotifyAllNewTXsCmd.
Previously the getnettotals was just looping through all of the currently
connected peers to sum the byte counts and returning that. However, the
intention of the getnettotals RPC is to get all bytes since the server was
started, so this logic was not correct.
This commit modifies the code to keep an atomic counter on the server for
bytes read/written and has each peer update the server counters as well as
the per-peer counters.
Rather than using a dedicated channel for the sync peer request and reply,
use a single query channel that accepts a query type as well as a reply
channel. This will allow other queries to be added in the future without
the various queries being racy.
This commit adds byte counters to each peer using the new btcwire
ReadMessageN and WriteMessageN functions to obtain the number of bytes
read and written, respectively. It also returns those byte counters via
the PeerInfo struct which is used to populate the RPC getpeerinfo reply.
Closes#83.
