Release signer-3.3.0.0.1.0

on GitHub

This release improves stacks-core performance by adding two database indexes which significantly reduce disk reads.
Depending on your hardware, index creation takes between 2-15 minutes per index (there are two).

We strongly recommend all signer operators to manually create indexes before applying this upgrade to avoid any downtime.

Apply the indexes as follows:
Note:

• The following commands require running from your config working_dir directory. ex: cd /stacks where working_dir = "/stacks"
• You may need to install the sqlite binary. On Debian based systems: sudo apt-get install sqlite3

$ echo "CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS naka_block_headers_by_burn_hash ON nakamoto_block_headers(burn_header_hash);" | sqlite3 ./mainnet/chainstate/vm/index.sqlite

$ echo "CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS naka_block_headers_by_burn_ht ON nakamoto_block_headers(burn_header_height);" | sqlite3 ./mainnet/chainstate/vm/index.sqlite

This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

The version of stacks-node compatible with this release is 3.3.0.0.1, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/3.3.0.0.1.
