Summary

Implements streaming snapshot traversal with RocksDB backend to resolve OOM issues when processing large state trees.

Changes Made:

  • Replaced memory-intensive batch processing with streaming traversal to avoid OOM
  • Added SnapshotNodeWriter with RocksDB backend for scalable node storage with batched writes
  • Implemented deduplication using RocksDB lookups instead of in-memory HashSet
  • Added progress logging and observability with configurable intervals and detailed statistics
  • Included comprehensive safety checks and error handling for production use

Key Features:

  • Uses RocksDB backend optimized for write-heavy workloads
  • Batches writes to avoid memory pressure (configurable batch size)
  • Checks for duplicate nodes during traversal to skip processing
  • Progress reporting every N batches with detailed statistics
  • Automatic compaction for optimal file layout
  • Safety limits to prevent infinite loops

Test Plan

  • Unit tests for SnapshotNodeWriter with batch operations
  • Integration tests with large state trees to verify OOM prevention
  • Performance benchmarks comparing old vs new approach
  • Error handling tests with corrupted data scenarios

Fix for Issue #3858

Resolves the OOM issue by:

  1. Streaming nodes directly to RocksDB instead of storing in memory
  2. Using RocksDB for deduplication (scalable) vs in-memory HashSet
  3. Batched writes to control memory usage
  4. No longer loading entire state tree into memory

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the snapshot builder to use a streaming approach with RocksDB backend to prevent out-of-memory (OOM) issues when processing large state trees. The implementation replaces in-memory batch processing with streaming traversal, introduces a dedicated SnapshotNodeWriter with RocksDB storage, and implements RocksDB-based deduplication instead of memory-intensive HashSets.

Key Changes:

  • Replaced BTreeMap/HashSet in-memory storage with streaming VecDeque traversal and RocksDB backend
  • Introduced SnapshotNodeWriter struct with batched writes and RocksDB-based deduplication
  • Removed Bloom filter implementation in favor of RocksDB lookups for duplicate detection
  • Added nodes_written field to OperationStatistics for tracking snapshot output

The infinite loop prevention logic is flawed. This check triggers when the queue is empty at the moment a node is popped, which is a normal condition during tree traversal when processing the last node. The counter will increment every time we process a node when the queue happens to be empty after popping, even though child nodes might be added immediately after. This could cause premature termination of valid traversals. Consider removing this check or redesigning it to detect actual infinite loops, such as tracking if the same node is visited repeatedly.

The batch_size field in SnapshotNodeWriter is stored but never used. The struct stores the configuration value but the actual batching logic is handled by the caller in stream_traverse_and_write. Consider removing this unused field to avoid confusion.

The progress calculation uses a magic number (1,000,000) that assumes the total number of nodes. The formula (statistics.nodes_visited as f64 / 1_000_000.0) * 70.0 will be inaccurate if the actual node count differs significantly from 1 million. For trees with far fewer nodes, progress will move very slowly; for trees with many more nodes, it will reach 80% early and stay there. Consider either using an estimated node count based on the state root, or using a different progress metric such as time elapsed or depth of traversal.

The nodes_visited counter is incremented inconsistently. When a node is found (line 173), it's incremented by batch_size only when the batch is written, but when a node is not found (line 186), it's incremented immediately. This means if nodes are found but the batch hasn't filled up yet, those nodes won't be counted until the batch is flushed. This leads to inaccurate statistics where nodes_visited won't reflect the actual number of nodes visited during traversal. Consider incrementing the counter immediately when each node is processed, regardless of batching.

Disk space check is incomplete. The code comments at line 232 mention checking available disk space but only verifies that metadata can be read. There's no actual check for available disk space, which could lead to failures during snapshot creation if the disk fills up. Consider using fs2::available_space or similar to verify sufficient disk space is available before starting the snapshot operation.
