We will use version control suffix like: "-alpha", "-beta" to show the status of the release.
For this release: v1.3.1-beta, it means this release is basically fine but validators or node operators would better use it cautiously.
Description
Release v1.3.1-beta is another maintenance release, it mainly has these changes:
- 1.Support PBSS
- 2.Performance Improvement, it reduced the validation cost dramatically.
- 3.Dependency upgrade, especially upgrade Golang from v1.19 to v1.20 and several other dependencies.
About PBSS
PBSS stands for: Path-Based-Storage-Scheme, which is used to optimize the MPT trie tree access, to improve its efficiency and also brings the inline state prune. You could refer this post on how it works: Geth Path-Based Storage Model and Newly Inline State Prune
Currently, PBSS is disabled by default, use this new flag to enable it: --state.scheme path
Important
Before use PBSS, you need to make sure your MPT storage in levelDB are already in PBSS format. There are 2 options to get the PBSS storage:
- 1.Full sync from genesis with the flag:
--state.scheme path. // Not recommend, could take 3 months to catch up the latest block. - 2.Use the converting tool, refer: #1882. // Recommend, could take ~3 days to complete the MPT convert from HashBased to PBSS.
Another thing worth to note is that in the high-pressure situation of the BSC validator scenario, the nodebuffer disk writing of PBSS will become a performance bottleneck. We have optimized this and made the disk writing operation become asynchronous in the background by using asynnodebuffer.
Compatibility
PBSS will have a new MPT storage scheme, although it is still based the Key/Value database, like LevelDB. HashBased storage could not use PBSS and vice versa.
