collator protocol changes for elastic scaling (validator side) #3302

ordian · 2024-02-13T08:40:57Z

This introduces a new variant for the collation response from the collator that includes the parent head data. For now, collators won't send this new variant. We'll need to change the collator side of the collator protocol to detect all the cores assigned to a para and send the parent head data in the case when it's more than 1 core.

validate approach
check head data hash

Can we please get rid of this with_elastic_scaling everywhere in this pr? This is just "dirty". The collation generation logic internally can just decide based on the fact if the head is passed or not if it wants to use the new message.

From all the collator implementations we want to set the head to None for now and then later do this properly.

sure, pushed 94ba49b

The collation generation logic internally can just decide based on the fact if the head is passed or not if it wants to use the new message

could you elaborate on this? passing the head from where?
i mean we could also detect elastic scaling by checking all the assignments for the para_id in collation-generation (or somewhere else)
we could also set to Some unconditionally (which seems wasteful)

https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3302/files#diff-14f4394aa7a3666c1a78fb28ccf076505323c497acf8dae788d3fc28a9cc6a18R862 you are already doing here what I meant.

And then give maybe_parent_head better docs to explain on when to set this.

currently, in this PR, maybe_parent_head_data is being set by collation-generation - it's hardcoded to None: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3302/files#diff-d7298fb050b10e14df59080885ebee73861d85b2c4722cc00089fc91a703d63eR543. I've tried to make it configurable with with_elastic_scaling param, but you seem to think it's a hack. So my question is, do you have a suggestion on how it should be configured properly?

I'll make maybe_parent_head_data part of

polkadot-sdk/polkadot/node/primitives/src/lib.rs

Line 419 in 6185b00

pub struct Collation<BlockNumber = polkadot_primitives::BlockNumber> {

struct produced as part of CollatorFn if that the right way.

I'll make maybe_parent_head_data part of

Maybe we don't need this, because CollatorFn is sort of deprecated I would say. I mean the lookahead collator isn't using this anymore and any feature work will also not use CollatorFn anymore. SubmitCollationParams is the struct that should be updated to take maybe_parent_head_data.

Ok, I think I misunderstood you a bit and after chatting with @skunert, settled on approach where collators don't configure anything and elastic scaling is detected automatically (not done in this PR).
Updated the PR and description. PTAL 🙏

On top of #3302. We want the validators to upgrade first before we add changes to the collation side to send the new variants, which is why this part is extracted into a separate PR. The detection of when to send the parent head is based on the core assignments at the relay parent of the candidate. We probably want to make it more flexible in the future, but for now, it will work for a simple use case when a para always has multiple cores assigned to it. --------- Signed-off-by: Matteo Muraca <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: dependabot[bot] <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Matteo Muraca <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: dependabot[bot] <49699333+dependabot[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Juan Ignacio Rios <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Branislav Kontur <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Bastian Köcher <[email protected]>
