Simple Summary

This doc describes the solution of optimizing transactionHistoryStore occupancy space.

Abstract

In current storage model, transaction result saves in transaction history store and it occupies the most space. The optimization merges all transactions in a common block and compression the transaction history space.

Motivation

TRON database already occupied 163GB and it increases 20G each month. So how to optimize space is very import.

Specification

TransactionHistory doesn't directly save in transactionHistoryStore after the execution of transactions. transactionHistoryStore.put(trxCap.getTransactionId().getBytes(), transactionInfo);

Add transaction history in memory and save in disk after executing one whole block.

transationHistoryCapsule.addTransactionResult(result); if (block.getTransactions().size() != 0) { this.transactionHistoryStore.put(ByteArray.fromLong(block.getNum()), block.getResult()); }

Rationale

Saving transaction history for a whole block could reduce duplicate data and protocol buffer compression is more effective for large data.

Backwards Compatibility

There are no backwards compatibility concerns.

Test Cases

  1. Compare storage size from optimization version and not optimization version.
  2. Query function for transaction history
