Memmapping can use any filesize, but the pages are allocated in a power
of two amount.
Assuming 4K pages we now aim to have 65536 pages to map a big file.
This gets around the sillyness where you need an extra dir for a config.
~/.config/flowee/rest-service/rest-service.conf
now you can just use
~/.config/flowee/rest-service.conf
When there is no config we now bind on all available (at startup)
interfaces to listen for service requests.
This solves the problem where a fresh server would not listen to
requests from the outside world but only on localhost.
* avoid using warning/fatal log levels as they go to stderr
* correctly exit at end in more cases
* Limit size of transaction we dump on screen unasked.
* remove dead code.
Instead of asking for a block and reacting when we get a failure, this
just uses the current height instead.
This also makes 'flush' happen in each indexers' own thread, which should
be good for performance.
Ask the hub for the chain-length and when we processed the last block,
immediately flush the data to the SQL DB.
This makes use represent the whole world faster.
The API call for GetBlock has a filter-on-address functionality which is
now ported to no longer use ripe160 addresses but instead uses output-
script hashes.
This avoids problems for transactions not using p2pkh and generally is a
cleaner solution.
This also adds a unit test to test this feature.
The usage of a ripe160 for bitcoin addresses in the API and in the
Indexer loses some info, specifically what kind of script it is.
Additionally not all types of scripts fit this mold. At best that means
its not future-proof.
This adds a method to the API in order to select from a Tx the hashed
outscript (thats singlehashed sha256) and refactor the address indexer
to use that instead of the ripe160 address.
The API enums broke a little, so I used the opportunity to break it a
lot and clean up the enums in order to make them more future-proof.
But, yeah, software from before this commit is protocol incompatible
with software after this commit.
