Rework the implementation of event query parsing and execution to improve performance and reduce memory usage. Previous memory and CPU profiles of the pubsub service showed query processing as a significant hotspot. While we don't have evidence that this is visibly hurting users, fixing it is fairly easy and self-contained. Updates #6439. Typical benchmark results comparing the original implementation (PEG) with the reworked implementation (Custom): ``` TEST TIME/OP BYTES/OP ALLOCS/OP SPEEDUP MEM SAVING BenchmarkParsePEG-12 51716 ns 526832 27 BenchmarkParseCustom-12 2167 ns 4616 17 23.8x 99.1% BenchmarkMatchPEG-12 3086 ns 1097 22 BenchmarkMatchCustom-12 294.2 ns 64 3 10.5x 94.1% ``` Components: * Add a basic parsing benchmark. * Move the original query implementation to a subdirectory. * Add lexical scanner for Query expressions. * Add a parser for Query expressions. * Implement query compiler. * Add test cases based on OpenAPI examples. * Add MustCompile to replace the original MustParse, and update usage.
Application BlockChain Interface (ABCI)
Blockchains are systems for multi-master state machine replication. ABCI is an interface that defines the boundary between the replication engine (the blockchain), and the state machine (the application). Using a socket protocol, a consensus engine running in one process can manage an application state running in another.
Previously, the ABCI was referred to as TMSP.
The community has provided a number of additional implementations, see the Tendermint Ecosystem
Installation & Usage
To get up and running quickly, see the getting started guide along with the abci-cli documentation which will go through the examples found in the examples directory.
Specification
A detailed description of the ABCI methods and message types is contained in:
Protocol Buffers
To compile the protobuf file, run (from the root of the repo):
make protoc_abci
See protoc --help and the Protocol Buffers site
for details on compiling for other languages. Note we also include a GRPC
service definition.
